      Status:
      Answered
      I purchased a teen driver education bundle for my 15, now 16 year old daughter. It was advertised as you pay for both classroom and then the in car driving. You could not schedule the in cars until they had completed the in classroom. At the end of the classroom they issued a code to enter a part of their site to schedule in car driving. The only problem is there are no openings because they say they do not have enough driving educators! They took peoples money without having the means for these drivers to have in cars in a reasonable amount of time. To me this is tantamount to fraud. They took peoples money for something that they cannot provide. I have been trying to get my daughter in and it has been over a month and I have only been able to schedule 2 in car sessions in August AFTER she goes back to school! If they could not provide the service they should not have taken peoples money. They also should have been very clear up front about their in car shceduling in that you are now at their mercy to at an undetermined time to get the in car. I also have to continue to visit the scheduling site all day every day in the hopes of capturing a time slot, while I am fighting with everyone else to get a spot. If it isnt resolved soon I will be asking for a refund and if one is not provided will be seeking legal means. I would prefer for them to get our child in to the in car and schedule them instead of making us jump through hoops due to their poor business practices.

      If I could give zero stars this place deserves it . Do not go here . They will take your money then you will have to wait months to get scheduled . They tell you to schedule online when is impossible because they have the dates booked from people calling in to schedule and they don’t tell you that up front to you have to find that out that hard way . They also will cancel in car driving on you then bump you out a month and half . My son had one in car class left then he could go take his driving license test and they canceled on him . We called the very next day and they said they can’t make up the class for a month and half …….. so my son had to wait for one last class because of the driving academies incompetence… they don’t care they will take your money and make you wait . There are lather driving schools they cost a little more but they are way more professional and up front and honest. One of the places is called Queen Coco , which n know that name sound not real but that’s tha name of the place and they are professional and gets you in and out . Also there is a place on me Albany that if good too .

      In reviewing this student's record his original in-car sessions were as follows: April 02; April 11; April 22 and April 25. Due to the threat of severe weather (tornado watches) on April 02 we cancelled drive sessions for the period in which this student was supposed to have an in-car session. The student was rescheduled for that session on 4/27 and his Certificate of Completion was processed on May 01. This student completed the program 2 days later than the original completion date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Feel free to contact me at 614-866-1882.
