    No longer in business, they took clients money and never gave lessons, went bankrupt after taking…read moreeverybody's money, never paid instructor

    I signed up my daughter for classes in January and after some initial confusion we got the first…read moreclass scheduled in February. The instructor, J, told me to not listen to the office and she would do all of the scheduling and I was fine with that until she started scheduling on days and hours I had told her not to schedule. I was understanding that things happen and not angry, though a bit frustrated. J then tried to change on of the class hours because it was a holiday and she assumed my daughter was out of school and informed me of this, but by daughter is dual enrolled and had class that day. Then it became apparent that she had dual-booked and she canceled my daughter's class, though she indicated earlier it was because she wanted to get off earlier. She then cancelled the next one due to weather, which is understandable, and shortly there after said my daughter would get a new instructor and they would reach out with a new schedule. After a week or so of no one contacting me I tried to contact the company directly, but the phone number goes to a full mailbox. I then email several times and never got a response. I contacted the instructor (J) since she was the only number I had and she said the new instructor had left the company and she wasn't scheduling anyone until she got back from vacation. I asked her when that would be and never got a response. A week later I went by the office in Niceville to see if I could rectify the situation in person and was informed J was off of her vacation and to contact her directly, and they would as well. I reached out to J to tell them what I was told at the office and got a terse reply back about "who told you to contact me so I can talk to them" and I let her know, and she did not respond with a thank you or any acknowledgment. I waited a few more days (until today) and sent a text and asked her if there was any update on the scheduling. She responded by telling me that I should use the "proper greeting' when texting her. Then she texted again and said there was an issue with my daughter's account. I texted and told her it was rude of her to act as if she was the victimized one here and that I would like her boss's phone number. She did not reply, but then called a little while later to inform me that she was raised to give a proper greeting before asking a question, implying that I was not raised properly. I informed here the issue here was not my texting style (I was never once rude or even angry before this), but that I have been very patient with this for over 2 months now and no one responds to me, and she herself has been rude by not answering my questions. She continued to try and talk over me and when I told her that was rude as well she hung up on me. This has been a terrible experience and I would not recommend this company to anyone if their present state. I sympathize if they are short staffed, but if you can't meet the demand then you shouldn't take on new customers and you certainly shouldn't be rude to the ones you do take on for getting frustrated with this. I am giving them 2 stars because I believe the 2 classes that J did give to my daughter went well and she instructed well. I also do not blame her for most of the issues I have had with scheduling and a lack of response to my calls or emails. I was extremely disappointed in the end though. I have never written one negative review of anyone or any business in my life, so for me to do this should let you know how dissatisfied I am. I do not take this lightly. v/r M. Smith

    Incredibly rude and unprofessional. Contracts posted online were unclear and inconsistent with what…read morehe says on the phone and in person. When we arrived early (meeting location: Circle K at 3804 Garcon Pt Rd Milton, FL) to speak about the terms of the contract (he even says in the preliminary email to set aside 1hr 45min to allow time for meet and greet when the lesson itself is 70min), he refused to answer questions about the prices and claimed we were on the clock starting from the second we met. We were wasting our lesson time, he said. He then compared our meeting to a ride on Disneyland while patronizingly refuting he wouldn't "argue with a teenager" when I attempted to clarify the contract. The concerning rebates/discounts did not match what he was telling us verbally. He began to pack up his belongings without warning and then threatened to leave if we wouldn't stop asking questions. I, baffled, repeated, "The online contract is unclear." He stood up and just left. Just like that. To be clear, online agreement says each lesson will be $125-$145 per lesson. This includes a discount for 10% if payment is not electronic (Visa, Mastercard, etc). Additionally, there is 18$ worth of discounts for three lessons. The discounts are as follows. In section 2.2 of the agreement, it is stated: "A price reduction of four dollars ($3) per lesson ($9 total) for scheduling three WEEKDAY lessons (lesson one and two more) by 7pm the night prior to lesson two and prepaying all three WEEKDAY lessons not later than the start of lesson two." And section 3A reads: "Prepay for three scheduled lessons, do not miss any and receive a $9 rebate at the start of lesson three." When he only mentioned the rebate and the 10% reduction, I attempted to bring up the other $9 discount. This is when he began to get upset and attempted to deflect by saying we were wasting our lesson time. Keep in mind he charges $155 (without discounts) for 70 minute lessons. Compare to lessons in more populated cities where they will charge $300 for FIVE (5) 90 minute behind-the-wheel driving lessons. I had come with my mother and we both left in horrified awe, astounded by the lack of professionalism and lack of basic manners. Save yourself the trouble and do not waste your time. Definitely DO NOT waste your money.

    If only "0" was possible. STAY IF YOU ARE PART OF THE V.R. Program! Mr. Collins,…read more All of your correspondences both in person and in writing clearly show a lack of respect, understanding, and compassion for working with individuals with disabilities. The complaints you address, show a blatant disregard and lack of understanding of individuals with disabilities. During this entire experience, you have continued to overstep your boundaries as a driving instructor. Many of your comments had nothing to do with progress or areas of concern but seemed to focus on personal traits and attributes of the student. I have outlined below some of the remarks experienced during these 5 sessions: He talks too loud People won't understand him; therefore, making them uncomfortable Making him read a card (Not related to anything with the lesson) so you can determine his reading level Suggesting he sits with your secretary for 3 hrs for a reading comprehension lesson Pushing for the use of my personal vehicle, instead of the school vehicle (never heard of this) which is equipped for teaching In regards to your suggestions to the Vocational Rehabilitation Program (V.R.) to not continue funding for driving courses unless he can obtain a driving license first, is beyond absurd. It is my understanding, that the purpose of driving school is to prepare the individual for road readiness. He has previously taken courses in South Florida and was encouraged to continue lessons to build his awareness and comfort on the road. Who gets their Driver license, before learning to drive? It has become very apparent you lack the necessary education and basic fundamentals in working with individuals with disabilities. You and you're organization are more of a detriment and a hindrance to any individual participating in the V.R. program. It concerns me that other individuals that have been previously referred to you and your organization from the V.R. program have been treated in the same manner, but afraid to speak up.
