Sharon went out of town so that my daughter's last drive was after the class program officially ended, again we were charged an extra $40 fee. When it came time for my daughter to take the written test Sharon would not return calls or texts to schedule the test. We ended up paying 911 Driving school to take both the written and drive test to get her license. I do not recommend 1st time Driving Academy in Auburn as long as Sharon is running it. Side note: Sharon also talked about her personal preference of organ donation. she told a class with parents and students that her husband did not want to be an organ donor. She said she planned to donate his organs anyway. Inappropriate discussion in my opinion.

It could have been MUCH better! I have put 4 kids through driver's ed and this was by far the worst…read moreexperience. Unreasonably unorganized! Took almost a year to get through this program. Communication is horrible! Getting through to someone on the phone is almost impossible, classes are canceled last minute, or without notice. My daughter rode an Uber to class one day, only to get there and find a sign on the door that the class was canceled. When I reached out to the school to learn why I was not made aware, they advised that they had sent a notice to the students' email. Say what? Communication had always been through my email and phone. So that was $40 in Uber for nothing. More than once, this has happened. We are charged a fee of $40 if the student is late past 15 minutes, doesn't show, or does not have their driving permit with them, but when they are late, don't show up, or cancel last minute, they take zero accountability. The very last appointment that we had for the skills test, we waited over an hour past our appointment for the driving instructor to even show up. The office staff was unapologetic, and there seemed to be no sense of urgency. It took everything in me not to reach out to the DOL and AG to lodge a complaint. The only thing positive that I can honestly say about this business is about the drive instructor Clayton (Not the one that didnt show up) He always answered questions, was very patient, and personable. Other than that I can not in good faith recommend that anyone enroll their kid in this driving school until they tighten up. It is not right or fair for the people who spend their money in hopes of getting their driver's license! 1/10 I would not recommend.

He was patient and kind, he offered great feedback and was very positive. That goes a long way for a brand new/teen driver. She passed her physical driving test the first time with flying colors and we owe that to the instructors that taught her. She is a terrific driver now and very confident. Where she learned makes a big difference and we would definitely recommend defensive driving school of Kent.

We wish to share our experience in working with the I-5 Driving School to other parents who are not…read moreonly concerned about getting a quality driving education for their first child but also to establish a positive lifelong learning experience with the institution for their future driver education needs. We enrolled our oldest child (16 yo) in the teen class at one of the driver training schools in town. The reason for this choice was because it was located near our home. The 30-hrs class itself was fine and so were the 6-hrs road training plus 1 hr of observation. However, my child was consistently reminded during drive sessions that he could and should go a bit faster above the speed limit, i.e., 28-29 mph in a 25 mph zone but not slower than the limit to avoid folks tailgating him. After having attained nearly 50 additional hours of driving with me, he then took his first road test with the school & applied the " a bit faster" practice to the test which failed him for not observing the posted speed limit despite having attained a mid 80% score on other criteria in the test. Needless to say, we were very disappointed, especially at the end of the test, he was not briefed with details on the scoring, what he did wrong, nor how he could do better. He was given the scoring sheet and told he exceeded legal speed limit, need to do some more practice, and schedule another road test. We then decided to look for "a second opinion" test center for his second try. Our search came upon the I-5 Driving school which immediately interested us with the school's mission and the story of the founders that started I-5 Driving School. We contacted this school yesterday and our call was answered in less than 3-rings! We then was hosted by a gentleman, with first name Nick, who patiently explained to us about the test, the student's needed preparations, and what we should expect when the road test conclude. Due to our son' swim meet schedules, Nick was extremely patient in looking for an appointment/location that worked for us and it was at another location 34-miles away. An appointment was made for the next day and no payment ($35 road test fee) was even necessary! This I-5 Driving School's was so professional and they treated us with trust, fairness, and respect. At the other school, we had to call, left a voice message, then waited for their call back a day later. Once a test was scheduled, we were asked to make payment immediately ($49.95) and there would not be a refund if for some reasons we have to change the appointment in less than 48-hrs. On the test day with I-5 Driving's, we showed up 15-minutes early and we were greeted very warmly by the front desk lady with the name Brandy. She was very polite, gentle, and poised in interacting with us especially she knew how to make my child at ease and in a stress-reduced manner. Brandy then introduced us to the examiner, Sarah, who in a very calming and pleasant manner walked us through the test procedures and even gave us some quick refresh of hand signals and basic rules of the roads to make our son at ease. My son then took the road test and walked in the door after 25 minutes later with a broadly smile and a confident nod that he has earned 83% score and PASSED the road test! I-5 Driving School's service did not just ended there: Both Sarah and Brandy shared notes and spent the next 20 minutes to explain in details what our son did right, wrong, and what could be improved for even safer and COLLISION-FREE driving. We then learned that Brandy is one of the owners of the school. That explained why she was so passionate about helping us in making sure our son get properly trained and become legally qualified to drive. It was a very positive experience for us; we were very delighted and so gratified that we made the right choice in taking the road test here with I-5 Driving School's Mapple Valley branch. We only wished that we had taken our son here for the teen driving class. But at least now we know where to go to, and refer our friends and neighbors to, for the critical driver education & tests, especially for our other 2 kids. We share our experiences herein, with I-5 Driving School, as an input to other parents in their looking for the right institution to rely on to develop their teenage children to become safe drivers. I-5 Driving School is indeed a treasured asset to our Puget Sound community! T. N Woodinville, WA
