I purchased a package of 12 hours for my son, reserving 2 hours for the final driving test as DC requires a handbrake car which is provided by driving school/instructor if used on driving test time. Several frustrations with this company: First, scheduling anything with the driver was cumbersome and totally reliant on my part. I was told he would contact me. He did not. I had to call back to get him to call. When we did make appts he refused to make more than two weeks out (but didn't have time in his schedule for more than a month out from initial call). He would not make a standing 4 pm Monday appt for example. Just for next two Mondays and then I had to call and renegotiate a time. Granted my son was in school and he didn't have all day, but I suspect that is the norm.
Also I was told he would be driven on highways, country and city. He got only city driving.
The kicker was the driving test day. I told the instructor of the time more than two months out, within five minutes of confirming on DC test scheduling. He said he had it in calendar. I reminded/confirmed. Including 48 hours prior to see when he would arrive at house before test (to drive down with student). I was told I needed to call Easy Method number bc he couldn't do it, it would be another instructor. The 'front desk' had no idea the other instructor (or ANY) was supposed to be doing this. They did find another for the time slot and he did show up at allotted time and my son took test. Then I get a call from my son (passed) asking if MOM can pick him up bc driver left!!!! What the heck??? You just leave a kid down there?!! And he had only used one of the two hours allocated for driving test, so the guy just cut out. Needless to say I was furious. Called main desk who had to call back instructor to go back and get him (after suggesting I pay for a cab to get him to metro!!! - NO NO NO!!).
I am fairly certain there are a limited number of instructors in DC as my sons friend had same initial instructor through different schools or contacts. So while I say Don't use Easy Method bc they are very frustrating to deal with, I don't know that any are without frustrations. read more
