    The process for scheduling behind the wheel lessons is beyond frustrating and extremely…read moreinefficient. For reference I had two other children go through their school's behind the wheel program. They were contacted and all 3 behind the wheel sessions were scheduled at once. They communicated with us when one of my children hadn't scheduled yet, to let us know they'd expire soon. However, at Safeway they let my sons expire, without communicating this. I had to call and pay $50 to extend it. I then tried to schedule these lessons online but as soon as they're released, they're gone. I called to explain how tedious and inefficient this process is and was told he could get on the schedule for a Tuesday at 12:15 during school. I explained how ridiculous that is and was offered one more appointment for a month later a few cities away. I took it and then wanted to schedule the other two lessons. I was told no, I would have to wait until the end of the month again and try to get in when everyone else is and the appointments are gone fast! And then I would have to do that again the next month! I requested a refund so I can do behind the wheel lessons elsewhere. Supposedly I'll be getting a check for $150 in the mail. I will be reporting this scam of a business to the better business bureau as well. Not only do they have a ridiculous process: they also don't apologize for it and just repeat the same information without hearing the issues for what they are. Do not go here for behind the wheel lessons! Save yourself the hours I spent trying to get what I paid for.

    This isn't a location specific review, but a review of how the company operates overall,…read morespecifically related to the scheduling and completion of behind the wheel "lessons." We had no problem with the classroom portion, and I would consider that route again for my next teen when she's ready to begin. The company takes on far more students than they have driving instructors for, which ends up requiring you call to try to schedule a lesson, then drive an hour to a lesson site. If you need to reschedule a lesson you are required to give at least 24 hours notice (which doesn't include weekend hours, so you'd need to cancel Friday for a Monday lesson) or pay an extra fine. However, they can cancel last minute without hesitation. We received a cancelation notice 2.5 hours prior to a lesson. If you don't want the inconvenience of driving an hour away for lessons because your area fills up, you will be charged a fee for extending the time it takes to complete the three behind the wheel sessions if it takes longer than a year from the day you sign up for the classroom portion. One might think a year is plenty of time, and it may be for families with two parents, one job, one kid, and no after school activities. However, if you juggle multiple kids/jobs/schedules/sports/after school activities, you may be putting a LOT of time into trying to make it work with Safeway. Also, know ahead of time that the lessons are evaluations, there is no instruction happening. Make sure your driver is proficient and able to pass their behind the wheel test before you start scheduling the behind the wheel sessions. All they do is go down a list of skills and check off whether the driver is proficient yet or not. I'm told by the person in the office that it's left to the individual instructor how they conduct a session, meaning there is no consistency, and no expectations from the driving instructors--may the odds be ever in your favor. If you have ANY other option for driving lessons, I would choose those. If you have no other option, love frustration, and you're ready to make getting your teen their license a part-time job, go with Safeway.

    I highly recommend this school. The receptionists are very polite and nice on the phone…read more I had Bob for my instructor. He was very patient and helped me with reverse parking and parallel parking. I was unable to do this before, despite countless nights practicing with my family. After one 2hr lesson, I was successfully able to park.

    I called to scheduled my appointment and spoke with a male (Tony)- sounded like the owner. He was…read moreso kind, talked to me about the process it was amazing. On the day of my appointment (9:00) no one showed up, it was snowing so I though, maybe they are late. I waited until 9:30 when the office opened and said "I had an appointment and no one is here yet, just wanted to check in". The women on the phone had a very rude tone and said. "Well your payment didn't go through so we weren't going to send someone with our payment. We called you and your husband and left you both voice messages." I let her know that I didn't have any missed calls or voice messages and that my husband did have a missed call from them but no voice message. She said "well I know there were messages because I personally left them, so we weren't going to send anyone over. We gave you until yesterday to call us back, and because your payment didn't go through, we aren't going to schedule anything with you" I responded saying,"I can see why you would think I wasn't interested if you said you called and left messages and didn't hear from me, however, no messages were left so I had no idea you still needed payment or what you cancelled my appointment". [I was trying to be understanding, while still being confused about these so called message]. I continued and asked if we can move forward with scheduling something in the future. She said "Well you would need to pay the missed appointment and pay for a new appointment and because your card didn't go through, I REALLY doubt you would want to do that". I said, "I was willing to pay for both appointments but because your tone was rude and condescending and the customer service your providing me is uncalled for" I added "when I called and scheduled my first appointment, the man I spoke with was wonderful" then she said, "yeah, he called and left the message with your husband" so I responded "BUT you said you personally left both messages". She continued to be rude to me and speaking to me as if I didn't have the funds to pay them so how could I possible be interested in them. Midway, do yourself a favor and get a new "office manager"! Who by the way when asked for her name she said it was "office manager" and when asked to speak to her supervisor she continue to say that she was "the office manager". She is loosing you business.

    on git, loki, a legit school, w rizz, no skibidi type, fr, got me into OP colleges, no cap. Full…read morereview:Bro this school is actually the Sigma Skibidi Institute of Ohio Academic Rizz, because the homework spawns like I'm trapped in a level 9999 Skibidi Toilet boss fight. I walk in feeling like a normal civilian and instantly get Ohio-NPC jump-scared by four new assignments and a pop quiz doing the Griddy on my sanity. My brain be buffering like a Duolingo owl trying to understand taxes, but the school so goated I keep coming back like a TikTok filter with no shame. The teachers? Certified Sigma Gyatt Mentors. Peak. Fiction. They got the kind of Ohio aura that makes you sit up straight instantly. When they explain a concept, it feels like a Skibidi Toilet just bestowed forbidden knowledge upon me. One "class dismissed" and boom -- I'm walking out like I just leveled up my brain's GPU from Wal-Mart clearance to NASA-certified. Their rizz is educational. Rizducational. But the homework? OH BROTHER. It hits like I'm getting tag-teamed by Skibidi Toilets doing backflips while the Ohio Final Boss plays the Subway Surfers theme in the background. I'll be doing one assignment like "I got this " and five more spawn behind me Fortnite-emoting. Yet I stay because the school is actually him. The vibe immaculate, the teachers giga-brained, and the learning makes you ascend into a Sigma Academic Entity. 10/10 would recommend if you like knowledge, pain, Ohio energy, and developing scholastic rizz.

    So everyone who comments for this school on Yelp is either a kid who's probably flunking their…read moretests or a mom getting angry, so let me clear this up for the parents who are worried: this school is actually really good, speaking from experience. The teachers are super nice in Middle School, can't say the same for Elementary though, and the high school teachers are pretty strict but still kind-hearted. The education is pretty top-tier, and kids who go to this school probably have higher chances of getting into Ivy League schools. Sure, the food isn't that good, but it's decent and edible, and the same thing you'll find at any public school. They give us a lot of homework, which, I'll be honest, made me crash out at the start, but I've gotten used to it, and it's actually made me more open-minded and active. And the uniforms are a bit expensive but the material is super nice, lasts long, and looks super classy. The school has a vast community of scholars from various communities and ethnicities, and everyone is so accepting and funny! Sure, there are some bad kids, but name one school where there isn't. The teachers really care about their students, and the school nurse is super professional and friendly. Overall, I'd say it's a pretty decent school. Better than public school, that's for sure! (I took time out of my day to write this, and I think the way I wrote it should give you a little first impression on how writing class changed me)
