I took my driver's test today with (DOLORES), and it was, without question, one of the most unprofessional and disrespectful experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in, her attitude made it clear this would not be a fair or objective evaluation. There was no courtesy or professionalism just a cold, dismissive demeanor that immediately raised red flags. I've been driving since I was 17 and have consistently passed every driving test I've taken, including operating rideshare and specialized government vehicles. I know what a proper evaluation looks like and this was not it. I was failed without any clear or constructive explanation. When I asked for feedback, I was met with laughter and a condescending response instead of professionalism. Being laughed at during an official evaluation is completely unacceptable and reflects a serious lack of integrity. An examiner's role is to assess skill fairly and communicate respectfully. What I experienced instead was bias, poor conduct, and a complete disregard for basic professionalism. Not to mention she had an AirPod in her ear and poor hygiene. If this is the standard here, it raises serious concerns about the credibility of the entire testing process and this facility. I will not be recommending this location, and I will be filing a formal complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Truly unacceptable. Oh and to KEVIN THE "OWNER" writing all the response emails on yelp trying to defend this company. You need help those are some nasty responses you are writing to everyone. Learn how to be a bit more professional.

I had such a great experience testing with Aly. After failing multiple times at another testing…read moreschool, I was extremely nervous going into my exam but Aly was professional, calm, and made the entire process feel fair and clear. She explained everything well, kept a reassuring tone, and I truly felt like I was being evaluated correctly instead of judged harshly. Because of her and the positive environment, I passed on my first try at American Driving School. I'm so grateful for Aly's patience and professionalism. I highly recommend requesting her if you're taking your driving test she made a stressful day so much easier. Thank you again, Aly!

This is really unfortunate as we wanted to use this company. I purchased what I thought was the…read moredriving course along with the test and the six hour class online however, even after entering my credit card after two times I received only a registration saying that I had not paid. I called the company to make the payment over the phone and they let me know that I was only selected for the four day course but that didn't include the drive test or the six hour behind the wheel driving they told me I could upgrade from $260-$700 and get all of that. I paid the $700. Right after I had paid my husband told me that our son doesn't even need the excessive package as he is 15 1/2 and won't receive his drivers license until he's 16 1/2, so it's not required. It's unfortunate that top cops did not inform us of him not even needing the classes they had us pay for it. It's also unfortunate that when I called 12 hours later to get a refund since he doesn't need any of this, they said that there is a $175 refund fee. I would not suggest this driving school to anyone as I feel. They are very unreasonable. They should have informed us of what was truly needed per our son's age and they also should've refunded us since it wasn't even 12 hours after we discovered that what they registered for wasn't required.

We feel a little safer now and this was important for our kids to learn too.

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!

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this driving school. I assume the in-class instruction was ok,…read morebut my child managed to get through three 1:1 sessions with an instructor without ever getting on a major highway, driving in the mountains, or practicing parking. Of course as a parent I attempted to cover these myself, but this class absolutely should have included hands-on instructor time with these more difficult elements of driving. They never went on I-25, never got on a windy road and spent zero time on parking. I worked on these with my child, resulting in lots of eye rolling and minimal effort because, duh, teenagers do not listen to their parents. Of course she got her license without issue because none of these areas are tested, but I would have been far more confident in her driving had someone (besides me!) practiced all of these with her.

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
