    I have 4 kids and am so happy we went with Safeway for the last 2. They do a wonderful job and are very thorough.

    I took lessons with Paul 5 years ago. I was 30 years old. I had never driven and I was as scared as…read moreany new driver could be. Paul helped me from day 1 where we didn't even use the gas pedal, just coasting, to my driver's license exam. I did pass on my first try! He gave tips and tricks that would help for the exam as well as driving in real life. He was firm/assertive when needed but I also felt safe and comfortable as a terrified driver. He made me step outside of my comfort zone. He loaned me his sunglasses when I couldn't see. Because of Paul's help, I am able to work jobs that involve driving. I can now drive giant diesel trucks and haul trailers for work. Yesterday I drove 420 miles in one day. While I will never be a carefree driver, I attribute my driving success to Paul and First Pass Driving. I am eternally grateful for his help.

    Changing my rating to one star just because of how the owner responded. It seems he would rather…read moregrasp for straws rather than just take criticism constructively. Also the fact that he refused to address any of the points I brought up, but instead decided to shift blame onto me in a somewhat generic manner. He gave typical responses for why someone wouldn't do well, but can't bring up specific examples. He didn't even pick pronouns when addressing me. It seriously makes me question if he even knows who he's talking to. Also how many students have had similar experiences. Is the problem truly them? Or is he just making up excuses to cover his rear?

    Review from experience years ago…read more - disagree with Jim's post * Honestly it's been 8-9 years since I paid for drivers ed as a 15 year old. I paid for a 2 week class plus 3 behind the wheel, i registered with a friend & we talked to him before hand & gave us a great back to school discount, my parents were very happy. My class had 3 others, 4 people total. If you make the experience fun, it will be fun. I can tell that he liked our group because we were actually answering his questions and being attentive. Great videos & discussion with Mr. Abdul, I still remember he was great with explaining driving techniques & safety. He enjoyed our class SO much that he bought us pizza & I think we were actually the only class he did this for because we were so kind to him. At times he can be hard to understand but it's easy if you actually listen. Behind the wheel- he scheduled with me 1 at a time & picked me up. I still remember to this day those experiences! Caution* He has a brake on his side and will stop you in the middle of an intersection to tell you what you're doing wrong... which is fine because I was more in a rush to get out of the intersection (residential neighborhood). Another day he took me to practice downtown early on a Saturday morning, it was perfect for practicing one ways without anyone around. He is so friendly and really wants his students to do well. Funny thing is my significant other and I both took drivers ed with him as kids (a year apart) & we both remember to this day, 9 years later, "smog" for lane changing, do's and don'ts from Abdul! He's a great guy. My younger siblings are of age to practice driving now so I am looking to get them in with Abdul

    Can I rate less than 1? This is the most unorganized driving…read moreschool you can find. They offer on-line reservations, however, he will never call or email you back. So when you get annoyed by waiting and decide to call him and ask if he received your message. He tells you that "I don't have my book with me, you need to call back when I am in the office." If you actually get hold of him and take his class. YOU BETTER BE SELF TAUGHT! Because unless you speak extremely broken English, you will not understand a word he says. He takes the entire payment in full up front. Not a big deal, however, he takes 6 months to get back to you about behind the wheel. He does that, because if he can string you alone then he doesn't have to refund your $100. When I set up my "refund" appointment, he was 45 minutes late. It took another 40 minutes to argue whether or not I needed to call the police. Finally, got $100 returned to me after he accused me of only wanting my money back because I am a racist. (I knew he was Muslim before I paid him and I still signed up for class)

    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.
