I was just told via customer service that on top on the $500 I spent already, I have to give another $150 to extend the driving lesson portion for my son because of a faulty system they have on their end! You literally have ONE day a month (second tuesday) at EXACTLY NOON to schedule your child's driving lessons.. DONT BE LATE! If you log in at 12:05 you will have nothing available to sign up! I was told via customer service that there is nothing in the 6 surrounding towns available until JANUARY!!!! She said to call literally EVERYDAY to see if there was a cancellation open... EVERYDAY!!!! And they cannot get their license until they complete their lessons which mind you.... you are only allowed to schedule two 30min lessons a month... they need 6 hours total so it will literally take 6 months for them to complete their lessons!! ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS! Spare yourself all the money you'll spend along with the hassle and choose a different driving school. I never care to write negative reviews unless it is to warn other people and Top Driver is a rip off so I would highly advise against using them.

Ms. Sabrina was incredibly disrespectful to me when I took the driving lessons. I had her for 7/10…read morelessons I had, and each one, I felt immensely under pressure, and every move I made was critiqued even if it was correct. she often tapped the break when I was driving fine, when I asked what was wrong, she just said I messed something up without actually telling me my mistake. all of the other instructors I had were great and incredibly informativ, except her. One of my friends recently took a driving test there with her to finally get her license she has been waiting for, for so long. but she failed her because she was barely over a yellow line when turning at an intersection. This was her only mistake. You better hope you do not receive her as a driving instructor. 2 of my other friends also had her a hefty amount, ans have horror stories of how much of a jerk she was.

All the prior reviews citing the inability to schedule behind the wheel sessions is spot on. The…read moreare SEVERELY understaffed - obviously do not have enough instructors to offer enough sessions to meet the demands of the customer load they have eagerly taken on. Sessions book up IMMEDIATELY - and you'll end up having to wait another month to get a second chance to win the lottery of getting a behind the wheel session. Additionally, you will need to pay more money to reinstate your agreement when you are unable to complete all required sessions within the time period.

If I needed anything they were on it. They taught both of my sons to drive. One son got his drivers license today and the other one will be going to take his road test in about a month or so. I could not be more pleased and happy with this company. I have zero complaints and will be referring everyone I know with high school children to sign up. Thanks

Very disappointing experience with MyDrive Academy. My younger brother contacted them because he…read morewanted driving lessons and more practice with a professional instructor. He clearly communicated that he was not comfortable taking the road test yet and only wanted classes. Instead of listening to that, their response pushed him toward scheduling the road test anyway and encouraged him to purchase additional lessons. It felt more like a sales push than actually helping the student. My brother is autistic, and driving situations can already be stressful for him. He tried to explain that he wasn't ready and just wanted more practice, but that didn't seem to be taken into consideration. We asked for a refund for the road test fee since the service was never performed and was never even scheduled, but they refused and cited a strict "no refund" policy. It's disappointing to see a company refuse to refund an unused service instead of working with the student.

My child was bounced around instructors, one of them physically and verbally assaulted her. The instructor she was assigned to had no openings most of the summer because she "wasn't working."
