When I called to get a refund they kept arguing how it was their day off (even though I called during when they said they'd pick up the phone) and how they called me back (there is NO RECORD of them calling me back). And then tried to give me a life lesson of how I'm just trying to go too fast. Well I guess people should just pay $400 and not being able to get the service now? This is the worst business and the most entitled customer service I've ever interacted with. Can't imagine how their instructor will behave if they can't even handle their scheduling right. It's like they're allergic to responsibility LOL update: They have since sent me a message "I'm sorry you got impatient and jumped the gun". Sounds like someone never learned to take responsibility and apologize. Does it sound like your abusive family member trying to blame you on their fk ups? It sure does. I have to block their phone number from the harassment.

It has made me a confident driver my entire driving life. I have definitely driven over a million miles and would trust Safestway with my grandchildren. There are always reviews only giving 4 stars, as they believe nobody deserves 5, then the ones who are never happy. They get 5 stars from me, even if it has been nearly 50 years. Mike G.

Lisa was terrible. She is not professional at all. My daughter came home sobbing from frustration…read moreand not being heard. My daughter had told Lisa she wanted to go back to practice in our neighborhood because they were around a school area and school was about to get out.Lisa then rolled her eyes and went, "Oh my god." She claimed that my daughter needed to learn this anyways (which is true), but my daughter felt uncomfortable because she's new to driving. Lisa kept trying to push her to drive in the area, but my daughter had told her that she wasn't listening/understanding that she was uncomfortable, and Lisa then claimed that my daughter wasn't listening to her. My daughter even pointed out that Lisa had said her turns aren't great, so why should she be driving in a school area with students getting out if she's not ready? Lisa then called her manager and told her that my daughter wanted to end her session early and wasn't listening to her and was "shutting down on her." At first, my daughter didn't even want to end her lesson early; she just wanted to continue practicing in our neighborhood. But after that, she didn't want to deal with Lisa's behavior. Even during the session before Lisa's tantrum, my daughter claimed that Lisa was belittling the way she drives. Lisa said my daughter was shaking the whole car and wobbling and even told my daughter to go into the passenger seat so she could demonstrate and extremely then she proceeded to exaggerate how she was driving. Like I stated before, my daughter is new to driving; she's not going to be perfect; that's the whole point of having a driving instructor. I talked to the owner, and he said that maybe the conflict happened because she's going to graduate soon? Unbelievable. Had absolutely nothing to do with the lesson. He immediately took Lisa's side and didn't try to consider my daughter's feelings; he just made something up. Also, there's a review from someone claiming that Lisa was being racist, yet she's still with this company? We are people of color, so maybe that has something to do with this behavior of hers. This company is extremely unprofessional, and I would not recommend it to anyone. However, if you do stick with this company, I would recommend Andy. My daughter had her first session with him. Very sweet, has patience (unlike someone), and is understanding.

I booked lessons for two 19 year olds with this school. I was going to pay for 3 lessons each to…read morehelp prepare them for the road test. I have a set of twins I let them know I wanted lessons to be kept separate bc I did not want them feeling more pressure. They were both already a bit nervous. Jerry was the instructor. They each had a lesson with him then my daughter went out on her second lesson and after speaking to her she told me he made her uncomfortable because he spoke of politics the entire time" Trump will fix everything" I have no issues with people having an opinion about politics I just would have preferred he kept it professional. My daughter and I do not share political views so to be clear his views did not offend me, they offended his student. Then she came back from the lesson I started asking her if they had worked on the things they needed to know for the road test. I am not a professional driving instructor so I as a parent I can get in the car and drive around and tell them to turn left. I expected the instructor to tell them what they would need to know and practice it with them. Parallel parking, the proper distances between cars, whatever they might be tested on. I called the office and voiced my concern that I was paying 1.50 a minute to have someone do what I could do. So My son went on his 2nd lesson with Jerry, (in between these lessons I was driving with my young adults) there were a few issues in the parking lot of target, Jerry had to slam on his brakes. He got my son to park went in to the bathroom, got my son a water to calm down, no issues so far. But then his twin sister had a lesson following him. Jerry proceeded to tell her that her brother scared him told her he almost hit a woman in the parking lot and he had to slam on his brakes, did dangerous maneuvers and would be failed immediately if he drove like that on the road test. He was speaking to another student and his sibling. I called Jerry he said "no I was not scared it was ok book another lesson for him next week." As a parent I was concerned when my daughter came home telling me all this bc my son had not told me this happened during his lesson. She teased her brother, my son now refuses to get behind the wheel of a car. That was 2 weeks ago. I just found out that was why he was not booking his next lesson with Jerry last night. I could not get him in the car to practice with me he always made excuses until I cornered him and had him talk to me. SO I called bc I was angry that Jerry was so unprofessional as to speak about my son's lesson with his sister. He said " I did not know your family was like that" attacking me and my family yelling at me telling me not to book another lesson they do not want my business bc he was unprofessional and I called to speak about it. No I am sorry, I should not have spoken to your daughter about her brother's lesson. No taking any responsibility for that at all. I am just disgusted with the unprofessional behavior. If you have multiple children I would not advise paying this school or Jerry for lessons as he seems unable to understand what professional behavior looks like offending first one of my young adults by discussing his politics for over an hour not taking social cues when she tried to change the subject then violating my son's privacy by discussing how he drove with his sister and instead of calming my son...letting him know if you drive long enough we have ALL had moments of near misses and helping to build his confidence back up and calling me to discuss what happened so I could coach him the same way. He opened him up to teasing by his sister and then attacked my family. I paid this school entirely too much money to be treated that way. Go somewhere else before you spend over 1,000.00 with this school.

On the plus side, her instructor Jonathan was excellent: patient, friendly, knowledgeable about the subject matter, and a terrific teacher. 5 stars! On the minus side, scheduling an appointment was a major annoyance. Her first appointment in January was canceled with a phone call an hour before it was supposed to start, due to instructor illness. The following weekend the instructor arrived an hour later than the scheduled time. The second lesson in February again was canceled due to instructor illness. It took at least a dozen texts and several phone calls to nail down a firm day and time the following week. This is an area where the business really needs to improve. One star.
