Friday, May 15, 2026 Same Day Road Test is absolutely terrible. I have been driving for 30 years and passed the tests every single time. The POINT system is a real joke, only 6 to begin with. Not to mention no one who took their test today passed the test! They have you practicing in a tiny parking lot, with no room to maneuver the vehicle. You can't even go forward during parallel parking -- if you do it's a point! The staff were very curt, just shy of nasty. The Latino girl who gave me the exam was rude. Their concept of parking, and maneuvering is totally UNREALISTIC to real world driving experiences. Every little "error" is a point. That young girl gave me ten points, for each time I adjusted while trying to maneuver into their coned parallel parking simulation. The expectation it seems, is perfection. This experience is indicative of the idea that, "everybody can't handle power". There was no grace at SAME DAY ROAD TEST. I concur that it is a money grab at the end of the day and highly recommend that one read reviews and trust them, because this was a true waste of time, money, and energy. DO NOT USE SAME DAY ROAD TESTING. read more

Run, run, run! There are many other good options in Michigan to do your road test. Tried twice at their location in Dearborn. Rude examiner did my last experience really painful to me. 15 min late, no excuses, almost yelled her commands at me, showed no respect. During the road test at least two times advised to violate rules, then failed me on going few miles slower than a speed limit. It was sad to lose money and to fail test but more sad was examiner's attitude to me as a young driver. A week later I passed test from my first attempt with different company and I think the reason was that nobody pressed me and made me feel anxious. Dear parents! Don't send your kids there, they do not need such kind of experience, all what they need to be good and confident in themselves drivers. read more

We used this company for the road test, I should have read the reviews. Rude instructors, trick questions, and generally a poorly run location awaits you at the Detroit location. The instructor was very sarcastic to my son, several times making conflicting comments which was confusing. He was prepared to not speedbut he got marked down for doing 3 under while merging onto the highway. There are better locations and better companies, I suggest you go there. Such a disgrace read more

I am in total disbelief, that a person that's supposed to be professional can be so rude and condescending ,to a person who is taking a road test.There's a way that you supposed to talk to people.I would never recommend anybody to go there or send their child there. read more

This place is a scam, they fail everyone at first to take your money. it's really ridiculous and shady, you cant even leave messages or get ahold of these people.Avoid!!! read more

wish I could leave negative stars. Felt like a legal scam. Instructor gave unclear instructions for parking portion and failed my daughter. Came back 11 days later in the same vehicle and before we even got to take the test, she said the vehicle didn't pass her inspection and we had to pay another $50 to use the rental or we were out the $80 we had already paid. So out $160 for a kid who has been driving for over a year and never even got to the road test. read more

Same day road test Grand Blanc center is an aweful place. Do not train or test here. The teaching is wrong. Teaching Teens to be aggressive in driving and hitting 0 to speed limit as soon as possibl. Also, teaching Teens to make wide turns on right turn. Horrible My Teens road test was cancelled less than 24 hours to go last week on the day of test this week, the instructor came 40 minutes late. He was an angry old man. He was very rude, no apologies. He started bullying and harrassing the Teen immediately saying he does automatic failures He failed her immediately saying she's not moving above speed limit within few seconds from entering the road. We registered immediately at Dynamic Test Flint and passed the road test 3 days after Grand Blanc same day instructor failed my Teens The instructor at Dynamic also advised us that over speeding that is being taught at Grand Blanc is wrong and can cause accidents I will never allow any of my kids train or get tested at Same day road testing Grand Blanc. Horrible If there was a rating less than 1, that will be appropriate read more

The driving skills test is a joke. It's in the itty bitty parking lot where there's a driveway at both ends. First you must simulate a stop at a red light then immediately make a t-turn. Once you finished with that you turn right immediately and go right into the parallel parking and you do not have space to straighten out or get into proper position to back your vehicle into the space. And that's mention the space it is a lot narrower than a average parking spot that you would try to back into to begin with I don't even think that the parallel parking space is even regulation. I was also told well if you fail we do offer classes what a promo. All I see is a money-making scheme at these places. When past the same company at the lakeside Mall same setup very tiny confinement spaces to work in read more

I sincerely wish there were a 0 rating option because that's what they deserve! Reading the reviews, now I know our road-test experience at the Rochester Hills office was actually widely shared. Indeed, we tried them twice over the summer, largely due to its proximity and its relative straightforwardness in booking a test, but it has turned out to be such a total scam tricking people into paying more by failing you again and again for greed and profits. They could fail you for using back-up camera in the car during parking (Genie). They could fail you for slowing down in a school zone (the male instructor who must be feeling so miserable working there with his big scowl and frown). They could fail you for slowing down when switching into the left-turning lane because you were cut off by two delinquent cars behind you (again that sullen-faced guy). Worst road test place ever!!! What a waste of time and money for all the innocent and gullible customers!!! The people working there must be so truly unhappy that they seem to genuinely hate the customers who are there to provide them with job opportunities. Rather than being grateful, they just predate on their customers who they think are so dependent on their mercy for getting a driver's license. After I called to complain, I was given an online form to fill out the details. You know what? As expected, I never heard from them again! At the end of the day, I am just grateful that my credit card companies are having my back in helping me dispute all the charges! There is still recourse for customers who are rigged by such unscrupulous businesses. Still, a huge waste of time, but a good lesson learned! Please take your business elsewhere! read more

HORRIBLE...HORRIBLE...HORRIBLE...HORRIBLE JUST TAKING MONEY AND FAILING PEOPLE. Worst company, They fail you on purpose so you come back and when I booked my son back they forfeited his money because he was 10 minutes late. He called to mention he was running late due to a flat tire and never mentioned anything, when he showed up they requested payment again. I should have scheduled my son's test and looked at the review, but wanting him to learn responsibility, I asked him to book himself, and he never looked at the 1.4 rating. and to add insult to injury, the attitude of the young lady at the counter of 8691 N Lilley Rd, Canton, MI, 48187 was horrible, I will make a point to let my friends and family know not to use this company...........HORRIBLE read more

Same Day Road Test - Driving Schools Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

My son took two road tests at the Lansing location. Prior to doing the parking test, he was given no information about how it is scored and what he could lose points for (the other company we ended up going with for his third try showed him a nice video explaining all of this). He did not pass the parking portion. The second time, he knew more about how the parking is scored and did fine on that part. For the road portion of the test, the evaluator was quite abrupt and unfriendly. She had him driving in a very busy and confusing area with a lot of one-way streets and lane closures due to road construction (as if trying to make it as difficult as possible). She ended the test early and claimed he failed because he went straight from a left turn lane. I was in the car and paying close attention, and neither my son nor I saw him do anything like this. I went back and drove the same route myself several times the next day, and I could not find one spot where his supposed "violation" would have even been possible. We asked for, but have not received, a written report and details about the specific location she claimed this happened. We have not even gotten a call back after filing a complaint. We ended up scheduling a road test with a different company, had a friendly and helpful evaluator, and he passed with flying colors. I would NOT do a road test with Same Day Road Test. read more

Very bad experience. Instructor was very rude & her directions were very unclear. She asked us if we needed a translator though we had not asked for one. She made my daughter super nervous from the minute we started and then failed her in the first 5 minutes. Would mot recommend this place at all - its super expensive & HORRIBLE service. read more

Canton Location. DO NOT TEST HERE! If you have a young kid trying to get their license avoid this place. They should be called "30 Second Parking Lot test" instead. They will take your child to the back of the lot first and do a parallel park test and parking test. If they hit the cones at all they will not pass them or do a drive with them. I have other children who ran over the cones at other places and the road test was still done and they passed. This place is a scam and will fail your child just so you come back and pay another $129. Read the reviews. . . don't go here! read more

I was very disappointed. The instructor was very rude and mean. Her directions to my teen regarding where to go and what to do didn't make any sense. Do not waste your money. it's very expensive, even which your own car $95, and are not returnable . read more

I wish I could say that we had a great experience with Same Day Road Test in Rochester, but that is far from the case. I've read on other locations that SDRT is a "fail fast" company, since they don't make money by passing students, but rather doing as many tests as possible in the shortest amount of time. This matched our experience - the "test" was about 10 minutes. We had a very poor instructor. She started off by removing decals from my vehicle without my consent and got snippy when I questioned her about it. At one point later in the 10 minute test I was accused of cheating (while standing outside the vehicle and she was monitoring the current exercise). She then ended the test directly after that interaction, which I suspect was influenced by our previous one concerning the decal. We have already booked with a competitor and will direct our friends and family to avoid at all costs. read more

Agree with many of the commenters here abour the Rochester Hills location. $85 to find out my grandson struggles with parallel parking? That's it. 15 minutes and no road test at all (I've been driving for 60 years with no tickets and I still can't successfully parallel park!) Will definitly find a diffent test site. read more

My son had a horrible experience with this company. The lady assigned to us for his test (red hair, at the Lakeside Mall location) was rude and intimidating. She made him so uncomfortable, he was a nervous wreck by the time he started his test. When he made a mistake on parking, she said "I don't know why he keeps doing that, when it's wrong". She had a snarky comment for everything - we had a paper driving log printed out and she commented that we should have just pulled up the app. I rolled down my window to talk to her and she rudely said "I'll talk to your son, he's the driver". My son had all of his paperwork in a folder, and attempted to hand her the folder and she said "I don't take folders, I take paperwork." She was annoyed that I had made a copy of my registration and insurance, and acted like I should have known that she needed an original registration (which I also had, I was just trying to make it easier by giving her the copies in case she needed to keep anything). She seemed to take joy in the fact that she failed the kid before us, which she told us about. That person was practicing in another area of the parking lot after they failed their test and she commented that "That won't even help them" while smiling. I have heard the same feedback about this woman from other parents of kids who have gone here. I hardly ever write reviews but felt the need to write this because I wouldn't want other teens to have the same experience. I see many other posts about this same lady and the way she treats driving students, it's a shame this company is allowing her to stay employed and continue treating their customers this way. I will be telling other parents to steer clear of the Lakeside location testing site with this company, to avoid this woman specifically. read more

Went to the Rochester Hills location. Horrible. Felt like they purposely want to fail students by not providing clear direction to make them pay again. Take your business elsewhere. read more

No one answers the phone and then it disconnects after 7 min. hold, unable to change/cancel appointments online, unable to schedule retake online, Contact Us feature on website doesn't not work - gives error message. So hard to get in touch with anyone for help! read more

Instructor is rude! They cancel on you and reschedule for weeks out. I do not recommend them.

We went to the Canton Branch. Save your money and go somewhere else. They failed my son in parallel parking, for a minor alignment. The tester was trying to explain her point by lying. read more

I was hesitant to come here but it was the only area with open road test slots for this summer. I should have known that there is a reason for that and should have checked the reviews beforehand. I do not usually fight back against defeat and I can accept when I have done wrong, but truly as others have said, this is a fail-first company. Do not come here. I have been driving for well over three years on the road, including highways and parking, however my car is incredibly beat up and after trying to get it fixed for too long, I just caved and rented a car for this test. The total cost of the test was 124$. They told us to come 15 minutes early for "signing", made it seem as if they needed us to sign multiple long documents. Basically said that if we did not, we would have our appointment canceled, no refund. I came in early, at 12:40PM. All she had me do was make two signatures and look at my state ID. My appointment was set for 1PM, the instructor did not come until 1:15PM. The instructor herself had a very soft voice and seemed okay. We got into this car, I started it up, adjusted it and all. She told me to head to the back to this parking area. Measured the cones to the car good. The parking lot was bad, it was bumpy and hilly, and I was in a new car, but I could handle it. I couldn't understand her verbal directions that well but I did not think too hard of it. I did the front parking as normal. I was a bit confused by the horn bit but I did it and she told me to move forward, I'm not on the line. I did so. Note that these cones are not following the yellow lines on the parking lot. I come to the reverse parking bit. I did a little mistake, I admit. I moved forward to reverse better, and then reversed to the parking lot. Again, she told me I need to move further down. I tell her that I believe I'm good. She tells me that I need to move further down. I'm confused because I am certain there are cones behind me, and I don't want to hit them. I know I can't look out the car window. I ask her if there are cones behind me. She suddenly hits me with "I am not allowed to tell you anything." I'm confused. I ask her, "Then why did you tell me to move further down?". She tells me, "I'm only supposed to tell you if you are not in the right place. You were supposed to learn this with an instructor". Okay... I ask her, "Well, do I just follow the yellow lines?". She nods. I genuinely knew that this shouldn't have been the case, because the cones themselves did not follow the lines, but I couldn't find out any other reason for her to tell me to keep backing up. I back up. I hit the cones. I knew I would but she literally kept telling me to back up so of course I would. I told her that I'm sorry but there seems to be some miscommunication here, and I just need more information because she's not making sense. She keeps repeating to me after that, "I am not supposed to be helping you. I cannot tell you anything.". Okay, sure, then why did you keep telling me to back up?! After the whole reversal issue, I asked her if I could just read the instructions myself for the parallel parking because I clearly was having communication issues with her and did not want to mess up the parallel parking either. After she gives me the instructions for me to read, she tells me that she is not supposed to even be doing that and that this isn't allowed. Okay... so why did you say that AFTER giving me the instructions to read? I did the parallel normally but I was so anxious at that point that I ended up doing it a bit clunky. But I did it, it was fine. She tells me to park back to the place we started. This whole "test" was only about 8 minutes in total. She says I failed the parking part and cannot continue. I am genuinely so distraught because, again, the whole issue was because of her verbal instructions. I tell her there was a major miscommunication, she told me to back up. She suddenly says that she never said that. She is literally playing in my face and I want to genuinely cry because I spent so much money on this. I tell her if I can at least get 50$ back for the car rental because I didn't even get on the road. She doesn't even answer me and emphasizes to me that I can pay again and redo the test tomorrow. I'm realizing at this point that this whole thing is an outright scam. She's trying to get me to pay again for a second test because I "failed" the first. I walked out of the car, 124$ out and a waste of two hours. There is a reason that this company always has open slots. They do not expect, and will literally orchestrate failings, to fit in time slots. Your entire fate literally relies on whether or not they want to actually do the road test during your time slot. At all costs, DO NOT COME HERE. read more

Detroit location. DO NOT TEST HERE! Rude instructor, my granddaugther was told she barely touched the line and the parallel park test wasn't perfect, so that was the end of the test. She didn't even get a chance to drive which she has been doing for a couple of years. SAVE YOUR MONEY. I spent $85 to 5 minutes. read more

Ronnie was very patient and encouraging. He was the best part of the whole process. Trying to call the company was frustrating, but they did return my call a few hours later. read more

My fiance scheduled and appointment at the Same Day Driving School to get his only do the Driving part of the test for his license he wad to be there at 10:30 he gets there and they said his appointment was 9:30 am and he has to reschedule and pay again.

*** RUN!!!! DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! AVOID THEM AT ALL COST!!!!! THEY ARE A SCAM!!!!*** I would give them zero stars if I could. I absolutely do not recommend this company. I paid for a road test and realized that my son was a day or so to early. I tried to get the test date moved to another date and this lady in the office was extremely rude. She said their are no refunds, I informed her that I was not asking for a refund I was simply asking to change the drive date. she refused. I will never use this company again. The Customer service was RUDE and they do not allow for reschedules!!! $115 wasted and he still has to spend money to take another test. This was at the Canton facility. read more

LOCATION IN ROCHESTER HILLS IS A SCAM!! Do not schedule road test there. They want your $75 dollars + another $75 to retake it next day.

Stay away by all means! read more

My son had his road test this morning at the Sterling Heights location. I normally do not write reviews, but his experience with the instructor was horrible. We had a 8 am appointment. When we arrived for at 7:33 am, we saw the previous person was still in the middle of the parking section. Since I was in a walking boot my son dropped me off at the curb, then proceeded to park near by. At which time we were yelled at to get out of the testing area. We then returned to the testing area at 7:45 am. The previous person was still on the road test. We waited until 8:14 am for the instructor to start the test. She instructed my son to move the car to specific spot with no instruction regarding opening the windows. Then with hand gestures only, she attempted to guide him into the correct position. When we opened the windows, she made the comment "now you open the windows". My son proceeded to hand her the needed documents. She noticed that the registration was expired. But since the tabs were current she allowed him to continue. She also asked me twice if I had an account with Secretary of State because my husband was listed on the registration. I informed her that both names were on the title. She then a small issue with the taillight saying that it was weird. It seem to go downhill after that. Ending in the road test being cut short. They were back at the lot 8:40 am. She told my son that it was her job to make sure he was a safe driver. While she was still belittling my son, a father and his daughter walked up to the test area. The instrustor then demanded that my son lower the driver's side window. She then proceed to rudely yell at the father to stop interupting the test and to leave the testing area. My son was so upset that he was unable to drive home safely. Since I had the walking boot on my right foot, I had to call my husband to bring me a pair of supportive shoes so I could drive home. When we got home I checked the reviews on yelp and with the Better Business Bureau. Both of them had this company listed with a 1.3 star rating. read more

I wish I would read the reviews before I selected this company. I honestly wasn't worried since my 17 year old daughter is an excellent driver. I thought this was simply a formality and she would pass with flying colors. The instructor literally yelled at her before the test started because she was early and told her she could fail her already because she didn't follow directions. This woman continued to literally berate, and insult every single thing my daughter did. She was honestly cruel, continuing to insult her after she failed her and my daughter was in tears. My daughter is an honor student with a tough personality, but this woman made it her goal to break her and fail her. I don't know how some people sleep at night treating others so cruelly. We will reschedule with another company in as soon as the 24 hours passes and I guarantee she will pass. Please do all new drivers a favor and SKIP THIS COMPANY. read more

Would give zero stars if it were allowed.. We scheduled the road test and the test administrator was just rude and not a nice person in anyway (speaking to a tree stump would've been easier). My child did mess up and did fail, that was on them, however the way the instructor explained it was unprofessional and unacceptable. The entire experience was sub-par at best, girl at the desk was ok, instructor was awful. I would recommend going literally anywhere else. read more

0 STARS. ZERO!!!! we used the crappy little parking area with the cones and flags behind Kroger parking in Grand Blanc lot at there place . Trying to practice for my 16 year old son for his driving test. An old man as RUDE AS ONE CAN BE! He comes out. doesn't say hello or explain anything but proceeds to ask "can you read?" like we are stupid!!! Mind you there is nothing really marked anywhere but there's a rusty bent sign almost to the ground in small letters...... guess saying it's government owned and we can be there. I'm sorry I went off so the guy started writing my license down. Where is common niceness or courtesy any more?? It does not exist! So rude. He made my son feel bad. I wish I could post this hourly. I would never choose them as a company. Wish I hadn't chose there crappy lot to practice read more

instructor was disrespectful, loud and ignorant. She likes To yell as If her job pays her extra to do so. How Wasteful.

What can I say about this company is amazing. There instructor name Ashley O, is awesome. The time and attention she gave my daughter Gabby was phenomenal. She made her feel comfortable and at ease the whole time we were with her. They were polite, friendly and totally into the experience with your child. I give Ashley 0, an award for best instructor of the year. Look her up in Ann Arbor, Michigan next to Briarwood Mall. I really A+ !!!!!!' read more

This place is a scam and honestly I recommend anyone and everyone to avoid this place, they use scare tactics and intimidation to keep you semi distracted from the road, I did not have a pleasant experience with this place and I truly recommend anyone to go anywhere else. read more

I'm writing this right now while my son is taking the road test so no one will think I'm bitter because he did or didn't pass. The lady who just took my son out has NO business being in ANY customer facing customer service position. Anywhere. For ANYBODY. Let alone for nervous young people about to take a road test. She has one of the worst attitudes I've encountered in a long time. I mean I'm wondering why she uses her energy to be such a rude and nasty person. This seems like a franchise so I have every intention of taking this review to their corporate office because she should not be in this business at all. I'll continue the review when my son tells me how it goes but I had to get this part documented immediately. I realized pretty quickly, just from looking at her, that she was the person people are talking about in the negative ratings. The woman that took the driver out before my son is probably the one that is responsible for the positive reviews. If I didn't want my son to have his license before I left town I would've left and disputed the charge. Find anywhere else. read more

Biggest Scam on earth... They were 20 minutes late to take the exam and the purposely fail you.. They want your money and that's it.. They hope you come back and retake but nope we are not fools.. Should have read the reviews before I went to this location . 1.5 stars tells the story:. read more
