Had a very unsafe encounter with Mr. Young of Youngs Driving School at Anacostia Park, Washington DC. Despite riding far to the right, he sped past aggressively -- with a student in the car -- and nearly hit a cyclist. He then yelled to "get out of the road," which is ironic since cyclists are legally allowed to use the lane. It's alarming that someone who teaches new and first time drivers would model such reckless and disrespectful behavior toward cyclists. Definitely not the example you want for a driving instructor. read more

Nothing very unprofessional and talk to you any kind of way. If I could have recorded the phone conversation I would have. Please find someone else to book driving lessons with! read more

Youngs Driving School - This is the conversation I had with Mr. Young!!!! please be aware of this con artist. Mr. Young, does not know how to conduct business. - Driving Schools Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

I was calling to see what they offered and the person could not tell me anything. He told me to go to the website. That was the whole point of me calling to actually speak to a live person. So this establishment has been knocked out of the box! I would not recommend. Anyone that's in business should be able to explain the price and what to expect coming to this establishment. SMH!‍ read more

I had a great experience with Mr. Young's driving school, and with Mr. Cheeks who gave me most of the lessons. I knew how to drive but hadn't driven in 10+ years with my main experience being out of the US, and left hand driving. Mr. Cheeks got me comfortable parallel parking and driving on the road. Plus, the conversations with him were most excellent. It felt like catching up with an older uncle who had many life stories to share. Plus, he never hurried me when we were at time and was always patient with the many mistakes that I made. I did have scheduling issues with Mr. Young, but my schedule was flexible enough to permit all the changes. Other than this, I would highly recommend getting a lesson with the driving school, and particularly with Mr. Cheeks. read more

Mr.Young was really helpful on teaching me the basics of the road. A big showing how to parallel parking something that I've never tired and allowed me to pass my road test. read more

This driving school is Unprofessional and Mr. Williams continue to change the time of the lesson and companied about working with my schedule. I payed for three lessons and only had one, would not give me a refund or schedule the last two driving lessons. read more

I had lessons with Mr. Young, I never been behind the wheel of car. Mr Young made me feel comfortable enough to want to learn. I listened and I observed . I went to take my test this past Saturday and I passed with flying colors on my first try. The DMV tester said I was an excellent driver. I owe it all to Me Young's Driving school. read more

Mr. Young is a great teacher. He really helped me out a lot and was very flexible for me cuz I thought my permit was about to expire sooner than expected. I passed my test on time thanks to him and because he really pushed me and taught me well. I'm very grateful for everything he's done for me! read more

I have experienced the worst experience with the owner Mr.young, he is unreliable, disrespectful, and has lack of communication. I paid for driving lessons in a package, so I received 5 lessons for $200 with a $50 deposit put down. I only received 2 lessons that was reliable and when it came down to scheduling my next lesson I would get a date and time, but Mr.young would reschedule me and take me off the roster for someone else. After so many times of this happening I requested a refund and Mr. young gave so many excuses after even me telling him I was willing to continue, but I would like con accommodation of an extra lesson or so. Mr. Young didn't want to own up to his wrong doings, so I wanted a refund that was also his choice of giving me. After keep texting back and forth with Mr. young he started To get nasty and call me and my dad messy after telling him we will take him to court! read more

See all

I was more than satisfied with this driving school. Mr. Young was very calm and patient. His schedule was flexible. I had 6 lessons and passed my driver's test on the 1st try. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who asks. Thanks again Mr. Young!! read more

I was terrifieddddd to drive when I started. I drove with Mr. Young on my first lesson and he was just like the intro. But all of my other lessons were with Mr. Greg and he is what I needed. He pushed me past my fears. Compassionately convinced me to hit the open road when I wanted to stay in the park. He was persistent but so supportive at the same time. And I definitely needed that. There was a few lapses in communication but not too bad. I would definitely recommend this driving school to everyonee! Its affordable and you learn what you need to learn. I think I paid for six lessons. I passed my road test on the first try. Mind you, I'm 27. So a very late bloomer, but I am so happy!! Bought a car a few months after I passed my test so I am eternally grateful to them. Our meeting points were always convenient...I always felt comfortable (even though I was super nervous). I am so happy. As we all know, driving changes your life. So they blessed me with the tools to help me change my life. I am eternally grateful to them for blessing me with this lifelong skill. read more

I had a GREAT experience with youngs driving school. My driving instructor Mr. Gregg was AWESOME. Such a great instructor to be around. So positive and very friendly. Made driving easy. Mr. Young was my point of contact and it was easy to set up driving sessions. Great communication. Passed my test with ease. I will recommend this school to everyone who is searching for a driving school. read more

I booked 6 sessions and paid up front. My experience was good in the beginning. I was terrified to drive at first but I did overcome that with my first few sessions. However, my instructor Mr. Young canceled our sessions many times, which caused an inconvenience for me. It took me almost 2 months to complete 5, 1 hour long sessions with him. My 5th session that I had I was not even behind the wheel for a whole hour only about 20 mins. I felt ripped off. Lastly, I never completed my 6th session and do not plan to. The day of my 6th session he called cancelling again letting me know that he had to get his car inspected and will give me a call to schedule something I gave him 2 weeks and did not hear anything so I reached out asking for a refund for my last session and he responded saying they do not do refunds. I would not recommend this agency. Now I have to spend more money to take additional sessions with another agency because I am still not prepared to take my road test. read more

Thank you Mr. Young for teaching me and helping to pass the road driving test. Recommend to working with him!

Mr. Young and Mr. Greg were the best driving instructors I could have asked for. I was working a full time 10-6 pm and they were very flexible in accommodating my schedule unlike any other driving school. I had never driven before and needed to get my driver's license ASAP for a job. In two weeks they prepared me for the driving test, which I passed from the first time. I would recommend them to my friends and everyone else. Forever grateful. read more

Young driving school is the best. I had no driving experience prior to attending. I scheduled 6 lesson and a road test. Let's just say I passed my road test on the first try after working with Mr. Young and Mr. Greg. Both of these gentlemen were very patient and professionals making sure I kept focus on the areas I needed the most improvement. I would definitely be recommending Young driving school to my family and friends. Aurelia Jarmon read more

This driving school is awesome. They make sure you are prepared for life on the road. They are great and affordable. Thanks to them I passed my driving test on the first try. Thank you!!!! read more

My experience with Young's Driving School can be summed up in a few words: * Value-Driven All of Mr. Young's decisions and actions while teaching students are driven by his knowledge and many years of experience. He understands the mentality of a first time driver and is patient with them. He goes through all of the do's and don'ts of driving in an urban environment, as well as teaching you how to control the car. * Affordable / Adaptable While searching for a driving school I compare prices and values. Compared to the other driving schools in the DMV, Young's school gives you the most for your money. While most driving school set the rate and hours, Mr.Young will work with you if the schedule you set with him becomes conflicted with something else, as long as you do it in a timely manner. Taking the course from Young's Driving School was well worth the time and money. I would highly recommended it to other students. read more

I was very nervous learning how to drive but Mr. Young made it really simple for me. He's a great teacher and I passed my road test in the first try. I definitely recommend this driving school. read more

Took 10 lessons from Mr. Young and Mr. Greg from July to August 2021 in order to get my provisional license before I go back to college. It was a really great experience and prepared me well for taking the road test. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking to learn how to drive or prepare for the road test. read more

Just finished my last class and I can't thank Mr Young and his colleagues Mr Greg and Mr Michael enough... they gave me the confidence I needed to get on DC roads. You get great advice and tips on how to approach parking, highways... I started the first two classes in the car they provided, then the rest with my car, so that I could get the hang of it. I am now a pro at backing in, parallel park, the road signs and all in just a few classes :-) They were all so nice, I can't recommend youngs driving school enough. Dr.Kane read more

I would definitely recommend Mr. Young's driving school, especially to start learning as a beginner. Mr. Young takes beginner students to a really quiet spot; it's a great way to learn in a very stress free way! I passed my road test after having taken classes for just a week (about 10 hours total). Mr. Greg, who was my primary instructor is very nice and extremely invested in his students. I really enjoyed having him as my driving instructor! I would only recommend taking a final class with an instructor who also acts as a third party road test examiner (I took one such class on my test day with an Ethio Star driving instructor, which was greatly helpful) in order to get the minute details/mistakes that an examiner would remove points for (Mr. Greg had pointed out most of them but not all of them). read more

Mr. young was very patient with working with me and my schedule. Very dependable and consistent.

Mr. Young and Mr. Greg were such great instructors to learn from. I had a tight schedule and they worked around my timing. They made me overcome my fear of driving in traffic, on the highway and at high speeds. I had never driven before and they made me so comfortable behind the wheel with letting me take full control of the vehicle. I liked that they trusted me and let me make independent decisions on the road while working on my weak areas. They were very patient, helpful and considerate in making me from a non-driver to a comfortable, safe driver. I will strongly recommend you to try them whether you want to brush up your skills before the road test, or learn from scratch. Thank you and I am extremely grateful as it was worth my time and money. read more

Highly recommend. I took 6 lessons with Mr.Greg and Mr.Young with the 6th and last lesson occurring 30 minutes before my driving test. I passed my exam and it's all due to the patience they had with me every lesson leading up to that point. read more

I had an amazing experience learning with Mr.Young & Mr.Greg! They got me ready for my road test in 5 days and I passed on the first try. I am now a licensed driver thanks to these kind & patient men! I highly recommend using their services to get you ready for the road! read more

My husband and I are from Australia and wanted some help in getting used to driving in the US. Mr Young was absolutely fabulous and we felt able to head off on our road trip feeling safe and well prepared. Mr Young was very accommodating and put himself out to help us at the last minute. I would highly recommend! read more

I drove with Mr. Young and Mr Greg both. Mr Young is stern but honest. If you're looking for someone to baby you, he is not for you. He teaches you the proper techniques and did not harshly criticize for mistakes I made. Mr Greg is a bit softer and also very knowledgeable. I passed my test with no issues and I feel good going out to drive in DC/MD. I recommend Youngs driving school and when my daughter turns 16 and we think she is mature enough to drive, we will definitely use Youngs again. read more

Mr. Young was very patient, gives critic when needed, and definitely very flexible unlike the other driving school instructors who are rude and think they're better than you. The rates are reasonable. I passed my road test on the first try. I have no bad experience with Mr. Young's help. If you want a good instructor with good/fair rates? Go to Mr.Young!!! read more

Mr. Young and Mr. Greg are absolutely amazing driving instructors. I had 3 driving lessons, which helped me break bad habits and become a more confident driver. Their patience made me more comfortable and easy to follow instructions. They helped me learn about the regulations of the road, since DC roads can be a bit tricky at times. I recommend Youngs Driving school to everyone! The professionalism was great plus Mr. Young and Mr. Greg makes sure you become the safest and best driver. read more

The school has top notch driving instructors. Each instructor will teach you the basics mechanics of driving on your first or second lessons in a safe environment to give you confidence, but after that they just let you drive on the open road to get a feel for it. Each instructor drives a different car which allows you to hone in on your skills to make you a better driver. I had some driving experience coming into my lessons but I had never really been on the live road and after my third lesson had no fear of driving on the open road. The prices for lessons are a really good price and they will work with anyones schedule. They are always on time for lessons and if they are running late or need to reschedule they are great with communication. Both me and my brother went through this school and we both passed our driving test on the first try. I would recommend this school to anyone that needs to work on their driving. read more

The best driving school in the DMV!! Mr. Young was awesome, great guy and overall great instructor! Mr. Greg is the heart of the company. A great driving instructor & amazing person. I enjoyed the lessons! Got me relaxed and comfortable on the road. Gained tremendous confidence because of them! Nobody not even my own my momma could teach me... I was nervous and scared until Young's Driving School! Best package deals and awesome company overall! The best in the DMV if you ask me! Flexible and reliable!!!! read more

In 2016 I was in a car accident and subsequently diagnosed with PTSD. I vowed I would never get back on the road. Mr. Greg and Mr. Young got me back on the road with ease. I had 6 lessons, and am officially a licensed driver. Thank you so much Young's Driving School!!!! Im foreve grateful and thankful for you! read more

I passed my test which I'm very grateful for. But I didn't feel awesome throughout the process. Mr. Greg was a kind and invest instructor, and who I worked with mostly. That was good because Mr. Young was impolite when I struggled with some aspects of driving. Certainly the most affordable driving school, but you get what you pay for. read more

Young's Driving School is one of the best experiences for people with no driving experience and/or experienced drivers. Mr. Young is professional, flexible, and patient. Those are key traits when looking for a driving school to attend. He is cost efficient out of all of the driving schools I compared, his package deals were the best. When I first started I had no prior driving experience. He was very knowledgeable with all the technical tips he gave. I easily was able to adapt to his teaching methods as he changes them to suit you as the driver. He never raised his voice or showed panic when I made any type of mistakes he kindly corrected me and made sure I had everything right and downpacked. He worked around my schedule to make sure I had all the lessons I needed. He made driving very easy for me where as I was nervous and he gave me the confidence I needed to take and pass my road test within 3 months of receiving my learners permit. I would definitely recommend Young's Driving school to others within the DC area. He emcompasses the concept that everyone learns differently and he doesn't disappoint. read more

Best driving school, patient and professional instructors, thank you i can now drive with confidence.

I appreciate all the guidance Mr. Young has provided. He has been a big help to me and I could not ask for a better instructor! Thanks again Mr. Young! read more

I have never written a review but the experience that I have had with Young's Driving School needed to be sad because of the affordable price. The reviews belong are from family members and friends. They don't even have an office and unreliable. This company takes you around where you are going to take your driving test and know where else. It seems more to me like he needs to be a Giant or Safeway holler transpiration. He doesn't show up on time no kind-of schedule what so ever. What I paid for I should have been on a once a week schedule. I am still waiting to complete my lesson. He is not willing to give me a refund. If you don't call and let me know what is going on and when I call you give me all kinds of excuses why you couldn't show up for three weeks this is unacceptable for a so call business. So write the truth and let other know they should if they are paying their money. read more
