I learned to drive with Robert at ABC Driving School in 2008, and I still think about what that…read moreexperience gave me - over 100,000 miles later. Before that, I'd had some rough experiences: An instructor in Dubai who yelled at me and ran errands during class time--then called me "bathmeez" (rude) when I asked her to stay on task. A Craigslist instructor in Austin who dropped me mid-lesson for calmly asking not to be shouted at. Being a young woman who looked even younger -- and dared to set boundaries - meant I was often treated like I didn't belong behind the wheel. Then I found Robert. He was calm, patient, and never once made me feel small for learning. His steady presence helped me rebuild confidence and feel safe behind the wheel. I passed my road test on the first try--and more importantly, I've been driving confidently ever since. I didn't leave a review back then, but I'm writing one now--because sometimes the things that shape us most don't get acknowledged in real time. Thank you, Robert. I still drive with the confidence you helped build.

Aceable has a policy to…read moreautomatically subscribe you to their roadside assistance service if you sign up for a class but very quietly. I consider this as fraud to sign someone up for an unrelated service (just because it has to do with cars?) just because you signed up for their class. If you don't catch it on your credit card statement you'll be paying it forever because of how they charge it. It'll follow your credit card account even if you cancel that number and get a new one issued.

I enrolled in this driving school expecting to learn how to drive. What I got instead was an…read moreunsolicited sermon. Apparently, the curriculum here is designed around praising Jesus. I am not a Christian. I did not sign up for a religious experience. If I wanted spiritual guidance, I would have gone to church, which I won't, because that is simply not who I am. Teach me to drive. That is literally your one job. George is also arrogant, acrimonious and loves to moralize at you like you are sitting in his congregation. It was unprofessional, uncomfortable and frankly offensive. Keep your religious views to yourself, this is a driving school not a place of worship. The cars are another story altogether. Ancient, dirty and falling apart. Every single lesson I was just hoping the car would survive long enough to get me back. It was embarrassing honestly, let alone unsafe. I walked away after spending so much money having learned absolutely nothing about driving. Not one useful thing. I joined Coastline Academy shortly after and the difference is night and day. Being there has shown me exactly how much this school dropped the ball and how little they actually care about teaching you anything. Avoid this scrapyard of a place. Seriously. Go anywhere else.

Overall, I highly recommend Wilco Driving School to anyone looking for a supportive and professional learning environment.

Terrible customer service. Susan at the front desk clearly needs additional training. This facility…read moredoes not send confirmation emails for classes or tests, nor do they provide clear instructions on what is required for testing. I had the necessary paperwork but had to search for it on my phone because I wasn't sure what to bring (which I had mentioned beforehand). Instead of being understanding or helpful, Susan insisted on rescheduling my appointment and dismissively said, "I'm not calling you a liar, but we know what we send to people"--completely unprovoked and unprofessional. She showed no empathy, just rude and condescending energy. Thankfully, this was a one-time visit, but it's disappointing to see people in customer-facing roles who lack both courtesy and competence.

I thought I would come back and write an update of my entire experience with Austin Driving School…read more We signed my Son up and they would pick him up from school and take him for the class rooming learning class. That all worked out just fine and at the end of the 2 weeks he got his permit. The gal at the front desk made sure we had all of the paperwork, etc. in order to go down and get his drivers permit. My son then completed the behind the wheel training. They would even call us to remind us to book his next lesson. Be sure to call around 3pm or later for the South Austin location, we had no trouble getting through and they were always very helpful and friendly. Once my son completed the behind the wheel training, they gave him his completion certificate as well as a note attached with what he needs to have in order to get signed up for his behind the wheel test. Over all I was very happy with their service and I recommend using them :)

To learn the basics of stick shift this class is awesome! My instructor Alex was amazing. I left…read morethe course thinking (yes thinking) that I knew how to drive a stick shift. Now, the reason for the three star rating is because the course is designed to teach you the basics of stick shift, however, there are no follow up opportunities to practice. There is also no time with the instructor on the open road. All lessons take place in a parking lot. Since learning to drive stick is something I really wanted to do, I went out and bought a stick shift car. I learned very quickly that there were MANY things not covered in this course. I managed to learn them by just getting in the drivers seat and figuring it out. In summary, if you don't know how to drive stick at all this is the course for you. Keep in mind you will only know the basics upon completion and are likely not prepared to take the drivers seat on the open road. You will need some type of follow up driving lesson on the open road and more practice before you actually can drive by yourself.
