I got my license in high school, but after city living when it came time to renew I didn't feel at all confident I could drive. So I got a state ID so I would have to take the test again before driving again. I started by calling the number on the website and (3 separate times/people) was always met with kind, helpful, clear service. They scheduled me at the closet location and was able to schedule back to back. Super easy! I had "Coach" for both drive lesson and test. He was super clear and informative. He was simultaneously relaxed and motivating. When test time came he was very clear about the expectations, how it would be different (practice talking and lots of help, can ask questions versus test, not allowed to answer questions and required to remain silent). Excellent teacher! Overall I highly recommend DriveSafe. They are very professional, supportive, knowledgeable, and easy to learn from. Fair pricing, excellent customer service.

After two tests at the Westminster location, I was told I would need to go to a different location to continue testing, which was frustrating and inconvenient. I ended up taking my test at a different school and passed on my first try, which showed me that the environment and examiner really matter. I hope DriveSafe can improve consistency and communication for future students, because it was not a positive experience for me.

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!

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.

As someone who has been a corporate trainer for over 20 years as well as an OSHA trained safety…read moretrainer, I was appalled at the Commerce City locations CDL training. Orientation consists of the students sitting around a conference table as each instructor comes in and tells horror stories of things that can happen on the road. There was no class schedule or agenda for any given day. We did not know what we were going to be doing until we were doing it. There was no overall plan conveyed. No feedback given. One day after lunch my group stood around for 2 plus hours waiting for our instructors to figure out what we were doing. We were told to be there at 6:30AM every day, but didn't leave the office until 7:30 or 8:00. Every instructor taught everything differently. I was taught the Pre-Trip inspection 3 different ways from 3 different instructors. I watched them move students from 1 truck to another, no consistency. Had one instructor that insisted on smoking while teaching us. At one point, our class of 16 was mixed in with another class of 9 halfway through the course. There was 10 students spread between 2 trucks and 2 instructors at the backing yard. I watched as 1 student, who was in the middle of performing his first successful offset backing, get stopped by his instructor and pulled out of the truck to leave in another. Everyone in my class had their tests rescheduled if not once, but multiple times. Students were forced to test in trucks that they were not familiar with and the even had different length of trailers. Spent a grand total of 5 minutes in their simulator. Instructors tell you that 95% of the trucks on the road are automatic transmissions, yet Excel has a grand total of 1 in their fleet. They insist on trying to train people how to drive a standard transmission that have never even done so in a car. Now lets get to the safety aspect or lack thereof. We were forced to perform pre-trip inspections while parked along a busy frontage road. No signs anywhere on the truck that says student driver. On day 2, with zero drivetime behind the wheel, I sat in the sleeper cab and watched as a 23 year old that had never even driven a standard transmission before, be required to drive in rush hour traffic on I76 to go to the backing yard. Our instructor got us lost numerous times while a student was driving, once having a student drive through narrow residential streets. Instructor having us turn right when he meant left and vice versa. At one point even had a student turn down a dead end road. Had a tire blow out on the trailer in the middle of nowhere and had to sit on the side of the road for 3 hours. After the course was done I reached out to some of the students in my class and found out that 13 of the 16 students failed their 1st test. That tells me its not the students, its the instruction.

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
