Great experience for our family. Three younger drivers and parents. We had 2 hours of class room…read moreteaching, which was eye opening and then 2 hours of hands on driving, where we gained confidence in getting the car out of front wheel skids (understeer), rear wheel skid (oversteer) and all wheel skids in various situations. Highly recommended, great hands on teacher who does not mince words if and when you screw up and explains to you what happened and why you skidded out of control. We feel a little safer now and this was important for our kids to learn too.

I just moved to Boulder, CO from SF, CA and had to drive in the snow for the first time driving…read moreacross CO on my roadtrip! There were times it was quite icy and very scary. So I decided to take the class to learn how to drive safely in snowy/icy weather. Michal was very knowledgeable and I learned a ton. The first part of the class involved watching informational slides as he talked and some videos of scary accidents. The actual driving portion was super fun! You get to practice how to handle different types of skidding, and Michal would give you notes on what went wrong and how to correctly navigate. I was not very good at first, but after doing it over and over again, it felt more like second nature by the end of class. I'd highly recommend this class!

This review is ONLY for the 16950 W Colfax Ave #107A, Golden, CO 80401 location. I went to take my…read morescheduled driving test at this location. Sat in the lobby waiting for my appointment to come up. In walks the instructor "Thomas" with a younger kid who was the appointment before me, he walked in with a smile and said to the kids mother "He failed, would you like me to tell you why? Then listed off 10+ reasons such as being 1mph over the speed limit and not stopping long enough at a stop sign. I knew I was in for it at that point. We got into my vehicle and I told him I had to start it via interlock device first...then he marked his clipboard. Told me to make a left turn, id signal to make a left turn then get criticized about my speed, hand position on the wheel, etc. Id even say "okay" to agree and then get told not to speak at all during the test. Then we drove through a school zone, no flashing yellow light was on or blinking and there wasn't a person in sight so I followed the speed limit sign 30mph and then he told me "well that law violation will cost you the test" and then I said there was no blinking yellow light indicating to slow down to 20mph and he rose his voice and we began to argue. I told him he was very unprofessional and I would like to conclude the test now and I drove back to the golden location. Then he says would you like me to tell you why you failed the test? I said you probably wouldn't care to hear my response back to you and he exited the vehicle. So I payed another $80 and made an appointment at the Lakewood location 2 days later. My instructor this time was the lead supervisor. He was great. We talked as we drove, I followed his commands just fine and followed all instructions, and didn't get yelled at or criticized the entire time. We got back to the Lakewood location and he told me I passed with a "7". And I got my license the same day. Community Driving School is great, wonderful alternative to the DMV for testing! THOMAS you should consider working at the license bureau printing license plates. If you're trying to get your license AVOID the golden location at all costs. Instead go to any other of the community driving school locations. Thomas - no stars Lead supervisor - 5/5

As someone learning to drive with anxiety, that lack of support at such a critical moment was really disappointing -- especially at $199 per lesson, with no clear timeline or end goal.

She said that when I merged I was "too close for comfort" even though the car was very far back and he drove up close to me and i got marked for it. These ladies are so mean and I'm feeling very defeated after this. Save yourself the time and money just go somewhere else. They are money hungry and it shows. I also went to their permit classes and they were extremely rude and was constantly putting down the teenagers by saying things like "I'll be surprised if any of you pass". How could you say even say this when you are the one who are teaching the kids? They are completely unprofessional and rude here.

Very Great Instructors…read more This place helped me get my driving license after previously failing 3 times, I am a 16 year old who came here today to do a 2 hour driving lesson and after that get my license. I had a driving instructor who was named Jerry who really helped me learn the small things i need to know during driving to pass my test, and thanks to him i could pass my test to get my license. If you are someone who has difficulties with learning and does not have access to driving with parents much, i recommend doing a 2 hour lesson, it helps a lot. the people here are nice, they really care about making sure you can pass and succeed as a driver.

Having to schedule driving lessons with them is an ABSOLUTE PAIN because their lessons are MONTHS OUT and at odd times, which is an absolute inconvenience. Just to add more salt to the wound, they expect you to pay for three driving lessons for their standard package which does not help you with their driver's test in anyway. Oh? Do you want better results behind the wheel with our premium package? TOO BAD! It costs 1,000 dollars. I wish they could give you more time behind their wheel because driving in an unfamiliar car where you don't know how the car handles isn't a fun experience. And don't get me started with the cars! The floorboards are caked with dirt, the seats inside of the cars are worse for wear, and I've gotten a comment from my teenage brother who's also a student at Master Drive that the Kia Soul that he drived smelled like sweat. The cars that they expect the students to drive don't handle very well especially with the breaks being very spongy. As a driving school that pride's itself for safety, you'd expect them to maintain their cars. NOPE! Their cars are terribly maintained. Take your business somewhere else unless if your okay with a being handed a booklet and a pat on a back that says " We're not going to teach you. You should do our job for us " because this school does not engage with you in anyway with their instructors. Yes, parental guidance is important for driving. But, the instructor needs to also be in the picture creating a personalized plan for their student. Which Master Drive does not with only three lessons in their standard package. Driving students need more time to drive with instructors that want to help their students and be supportive to help them become a safe driver. Protect your pockets people! Find another driver's school or teach your student yourself!
