A rude and condescending customer service experience. I was not greeted or acknowledged by secretary Waverlyn until payment was required. When asked if there was an ATM, she responded, "I don't know, check next door". It would be helpful if they had more information about ATM machines if the only form of payment is cash. Despite her rude behavior, she continued to behave this way until I left. Their business model is to take your money and treat you like they're doing you a favor. Customers deserve respect. read more

I would only rate this like this because the in class teacher Mr.Freedi was the best. He knows how to teach and get all the information to stick. He is also very honest and straightforward and i really enjoyed taking his class. only stupid part is that there is a wait list to take the 8 hour driving to get my license read more

I went to the 3rd party driving test here. The tester was friendly and the line moved very quickly. I love the lighthearted atmosphere and the availability of cars to rent for the test. read more

I recently just took a 38 hour driver education course and a 8 hour behind the wheel course and felt very comfortable throughout the whole class. My classroom instructor was Fredy and my driving instructor was Christi. They both made me feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident throughout the whole course. If your looking to bring your child here, I highly recommend, it's quick and easy! read more

My first son went to the location in Harvey, La during the pandemic and was over 18 and took his courses and had a pretty positive experience despite many obstacles. I personally didn't appreciate Victor Manning driving school wanting my son to drive in dangerous weather conditions like a tropical storm but they did. I also think this whole thing is a money scam because they know that people have to go through a full course in order to get your drivers license and they are taking advantage of this in every way. Especially when they put another fee (cash) for the 3rd party person who has a separate car and fee for the last portion of the driving test. This is nothing like when I was a teenager and your parent taught you to drive and then you either bought or borrowed a book and went to take the written test and bought a drivers license. Now you need a tip card and then have to pay for a license on top of that. Anyway.....this is the experience with my 2nd son......he turned 18 and was going to be going to college so I decided to sign him up for a Victor Manning driving school and he went in for the classes and passed the written test and passed the driving test and the 3rd party driving test........but............he refuses to drive because he was traumatized after taking the driving portion. He was yelled at!!!! The instructor went into the store and purchased beer! I am livid!!!! Also the 3rd party person this time was non other than one of the other driving teachers!!!!!!!! I had to have a separate envelope with cash in it because they told me that a 3rd party person was going to make sure that Victor Manning driving school taught my son how to drive. It was the same people this time?????!!!!!!!! Yes......this is a scam and I was taken......my son doesn't drive because he was traumatized!!!!!! I'm sure someone will read this from Victor Manning and will reply but I am telling you that this did happen. This is a disgrace!!!!! read more

I just finished my Pre-Licensing course on the Westbank campus with Ms. Daphne. She ensured that I wasn't nervous as she knew what she was talking about and telling me to do. She's been doing this for 13 years and is very experienced. Instead of there being an awkward silence in the car while I drove, Ms. Daphne kept me entertained the entire time all the while making sure I was focused. She took the time to explain what I was doing wrong and she didn't yell once. We practiced the things that I had difficulties with over and over until I improved and she felt that I was ready to move one. You've got a total of 8 hours behind the wheel split into 2 days (this is the case for adults, I'm not sure if it's the same for the teen 38 hour course) so that's plenty of time to get comfortable behind the wheel. I had a blast in the car with Ms. Daphne! I highly recommend this course and driving school because they don't just teach you any kind of way, they treat you the right way! read more

Victor Manning Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Harvey, Louisiana

My daughter just finished Vm course she had a great time and is an excellent driver now. She said teachers were nice and patient.

Sadly I cannot review lower, I can't reiterate enough how much I loathe processes and also how I highly value my time. I did my best to follow the sadly outdated UI (this schools website) only to find information regarding adult classes seemingly unstructured. So I decided to formulate my questions (so I don't waste my time going in a circle nor do I waste their time with an unstructured question) and go ahead and give the ol'telephono a ring....well little did I know I'd be giving that telephono several rings and it proved unresponsive time and time again. (Strike 1) This was the start of an unseemly process and I HATE processes. The schools website says I can walk in, register, and start classes that day so I figured easy-peezy-lemon-squeezy, I'll just walk up and start my classes that afternoon and be done with it the following day (nice and planned out), ha. I arrive to the Manhattan location only to feel my heart drop as I witness people standing outside in a line IN.THE.HEAT (hello?) Was inside the building sacred ground forbidden to peons such as I and all who have yet to register? I don't know, so I stay in the car bc I'm early nor was I about to stand outside in the unforgiving heat until the allotted time for my class, but as I'm sitting there I'm seeing people pull up, get out, and turn around in disgust. I figured bc the line was so long and even though they were in the shade it still proved to be too damn hot to say the least. The time is 5 minutes 'til registration, so I get out and stand in line only to be greeted with a salt shakes worth of attitude regarding class capacity as if I were supposed to know this could happen before hand. So I promptly asked when the next class was, only to be told that it wouldn't be until 2 weeks from now and I was asked, " If I was up to the task of taking the course". Oh wow I didn't know I was Ethan Hunt and this was mission impossible, yeah I accept. HORRIBLE business structure. Don't advertise walk in if I literally (a) can't walk in for some strange reason & (b) if you actually have some sort of class appointment system but don't advertise that. Doesn't it seem counter-intuitive to advertise walk-in if the person that walks in is refused and put on a waiting list bc of a class capacity? And if you have a class capacity due to Covid then you can most definitely update your website to say so, my point still stands on this structuring being tore up from the floor up. (Strike 2) You wasted my time and you don't seem to know what business structuring 101 is but imagine a not so distant future where appointment based classes exist.... too far fetched? All the while talking to this woman I couldn't help but feel as if she thought of me as a nuisance and she came off with a slight superiority complex, it really solidified everything when she rudely dismissed me as if I didn't know what to do after we finished talking. Yes ma'am, I'm aware that I can go home since our conversation has concluded and I obviously have no further business here and nor will I ever. R U D E, don't waste your time on the Westbank, trust your intuition and just go somewhere else. read more

I was extremely disappointed in the quality of instruction and the rudeness of the lady who teaches the classes. Not only did my child tell me this all week, I experienced this first had when I asked her about giving my child a zero because of a missing name. (There was only one so it had to be his) she came out screaming at me and my son. When all we wanted was for him to have the opportunity to re take the test. She continues to scream at us after I brought it to her attention. Overall spend you money elsewhere, unless they hire someone knew. read more

My son had a great experience. They are excellent instructors. Passing the test to get his permit was no problem as he retained everything taught in the classes. Loved the driving instructors too. They made sure my son was road ready. My son has had no mistakes on the road while driving with his permit. I like how clear the instructions on requirements and schedules. They are always on time. They are always very helpful. Will come back here when my other children are of age to drive. Would go nowhere else. read more

This driving school , in my opinion. is just a money scam! My son is 18 and is looking to get his license. I was told by them that he was"on the line"! When I asked what that meant, I was told that he needed to take the 38hr course instead of the 14hr course.... This my friends is UNTRUE! I was aslo told that after he conpleted the 38hr course, and took the road test.... I would have to pay a $40.00 cash fee for the road test and pay an additional $50.00 to use their vehicle! When all was said and done, I would have spent a total of $540.00 R U KIDDING ME! I DON'T THINK SO ! DO YOUR HOMEWORK. .. THIS PLACE WIL NICKEL AND DIME YOU TO DEATH! There are many other reputable driving schools out there who are honest with their fees ! read more

I took the 30 hours in classroom a month ago. The teacher, Mr. Vernan, is probably around 70 years old. Most of the time, he told stories that have nothing to do with driving. With little aid from the school, I got a 90% on the written test. They said to call the Thursday after the last Sunday. It's been a month now, and I have left around 10 messages and they still haven't called back. Every time I call, they say, "sorry, we're really busy right now, we'll call back later!" Well, it's been a month and still no call. Every time I call they either say that or don't even pick up during hours. I decided to have my parents go schedule the hours around 1pm and they weren't there. My parents waited for an hour and still nobody came. 1 star because of their awful customer service. Thinking about call in the credit card company to cancel the $450 class... Spend your money elsewhere where you can get your driving hours done a week later, not half a year. It's insane. read more

My daughter took the course in May 2015 at the Westbank site. We had no problems registering or with the classes. I see all the negative reviews but we had a good experience. The teachers were informative and she took alot from the classes. She's in the driving part now and was very nervous but the instructor (Jeff)put her at ease and helped her get through it. I would definitley recommend this school. read more
