    As expected, no response from the business. Reading another 1 star review most probably this was also racism.

    Learning how to drive my car safely with Mr. Suleman at the Drive Right driving school in Bellevue…read morewas a wonderful experience for me. The driving lessons I took from him helped me develop enough courage and confidence to drive on road without any issues which eventually helped me crack the road drive test. Mr. Suleman taught me the right way to follow the traffic rules and safety procedures. He is gentle, polite and very friendly with good communication skills. It was wonderful that he is able to guide and teach in Hindi and English both. I am impressed by his ability to teach in an effortless manner and would highly recommend him!

    I generally don't leave reviews, however; I felt that I should share my experience for others to…read moresee.  I needed to and wanted to learn driving, but did not know which class to take or who to work with. I read reviews for various school however; Drive Right Driving School stood out to me. I contacted the school and spoke with Mr. Suleman. He asked me a few general questions to gage what type of classes would be suitable for me. He gave me a couple different options but stated that purchasing a package would be a better option and it would save me money.  I was a bit apprehensive on my first day of class because you never know how the instructor will be if you make a mistake; however, right from our first meeting Mr. Suleman was so kind and soft spoken that I immediately felt at ease. He advised me not to be nervous and when we sat in the car he explained all the car features, functions, and driving rules.  I specifically appreciated how Mr. Suleman remains calm, and speaks so respectfully. Mr. Suleman is very professional and knowledgeable and he shares his experiences with you and provides insight on how to be an excellent driver. It was refreshing to see an instructor who truly cares about the success of their students. His aim was not just to teach but to ensure I understand and feel confident about the road, my driving, and stated that if I focused on that then I would attain my goal of getting my license and being a safe and confident driver.  I would without a doubt recommend Drive Right Driving School to everyone who needs to learn to drive or anything driving related. One of my best decisions.

    We had gone for a driving skills test for my wife. It also included a 1 hour warm up in our car…read morebefore the test. Sam did not even inform my wife before starting the test. He just evaluated her based on the warm up and failed her based on some mistakes that she had done during that time. In the end when the warm up was done, we came to know that the test was also already over. Both me and my wife were shocked since Sam never informed my wife before starting the test. Overall we had paid $320 for the 1 hour warm up and test. It was just an utter waste of such a large amount of money. During the warm up, he had also called me and asked me if I wanted to take any additional driving lessons for my wife with him. He said that there were some gaps in her driving and that it would take additional lessons to fix those. And for that I would have to again pay him $160 more for a 1 hour lesson. I had already paid him $320 before for the warm up and test. So we refused for any additional lessons. Such a sham!! I feel that if we had agreed to pay the extra money and take the extra lessons then he would have informed my wife before starting the test and also passed her. But because we didn't he had already made up his mind from beforehand that he would fail her and hence did not even inform her before starting the test and just failed her based on some random mistakes during the warm up. Also my wife told me that before the warm up, he had intentionally disconnected our car's dashcam. Now that we think about it, the reason why he had done that is so that his voice does not get recorded in it. So that later we cannot file a complaint against him with proof. He is a corrupt instructor and his driving school should be immediately shut down.

    I booked my road test at here. The instructor is friendly and skilled, he reminded me of my…read moremistakes I ignored and also teachered the driving skills I didn't learn at other driving schools. Great experience!

    Friendly people who give amazing service!…read more This place came highly recommended by a friend so I took my uncle here for his driving test. Our biggest issue was that he couldn't speak English well, but his proctor, Niykee, eliminated that barrier by using hand signals instead. She spent time going over motions and hand signals with my uncle, to make sure both parties understood each other before going out on the drive. Really great service and caring instructors!

    This place deserves 5 stars! I called last minute to book a…read moreSunday Skill test for my husband. Voila! 2 days before Sunday I was able to book an appointment with them. The agents over the phone named Ryan and Lucas are very helpful. You have to book and pay first over their website and the agents will help you through the process. For the actual test, my husband mentioned that the instructor/test agent is very nice! (Her name is Kim by the way) Though he is very nervous, she made him calm and confident. After the test, she went over the mistakes and discussed it with him. Disclaimer: My husband passed the test. Tip: If you can bring your own car (which you have been using for practice) will be the best option for the test. Remember: cars accelerates and decelerates differently. Gist: the more familiar you are with the car for the exam, the higher chance of passing! One more thing, mistakes accumulates and hurts your grade. So, practice practice practice. Goodluck!
