Chuck Evans was my driving instructor and it was an excellent experience. Chuck was always on time and he was willing to stay after class if you needed help. Chucks classroom was a learning environment. I also did behind the wheel with Chuck and was impressed by his calm, sensible, and collective attitude behind the wheel. I would recommend Friendly’s Driving school to anyone who needs either class room or behind the wheel instruction.

I wish I had read these comments before I took the time to set my son up for classes at "Friendly" driving school. Nevertheless, I did not even let him take one class because the instructor that called my home was rude, unprofessional and lacked all communicative skills. But I was still going to give Friendly a chance. The day of the first class, the instructor was late and when I called to verify the time, some man answered for her and abruptly told me that she was running an hour behind and a courtesy call to me wasn't necessary because I needed to understand that "things happen" (his exact words) I can't believe this instructor is still working with this company and it says alot about the company to hire people like this. I will be happy to tell anyone who is looking for a driving school to use any school EXCEPT Friendly! Ugghhhhhh!!!!

I took this class on Saturday and it was a very good class!I was expecting it to be very boring .. BUT I learned SOOO much! haha I don't know what these people are talking about .. they probably slept through the class that's why they didn't learn anything! things happen and sometimes and there are consequences (taking an 8 hour class) for stuff we do (getting a ticket) .. so just try to enjoy it coz u can't avoid it rather than making it sound so miserable lol we watched videos and he made everything very clear and simple to understand. I really liked the facilitator; he was amazing and funny :) I am really glad I took this class with him. + I def recommend him!

Never Again. Had 3 classes, the lady ranting the whole time about random things not focused on what I could do to improve, even once told me and the other person in the car we would die in a crash, while we were at a red light. I just wish I would have seen this before I gave them my money and suffered with the remainder of my classes

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I was beginning to gain confidence as a new driver and the lady managed to destroy it over two hours. She was unprofessional, was on personnal calls, texted, and was very rude. She also showed up an hour and a half late an was lost the whole time. I was warned of her but decided to try it anyways because i was already signed up. I WARN YOU DO NOT MAKE MY MISTAKE!

My granddaughter just finished the course. During that time, her instructor sent text messages, put on makeup and looked through her portfolio while driving - all things you shouldn't do. She also went way over the speed limit and was often very rude. My granddaughter said she felt safer with the students driving than with the instructor. This person was teaching the students all the wrong things to do. In my opinion, she should be fired. I can't speak for the other instructors, but she was terrible.

Has anyone ever wondered why Friendly driving school has not gotten a bad review in ten years? Perhaps itâ??s because majority of their clients are children that do not realize when they are being giving bad service. I paid 333.00 in cash for ten behind the wheel classes 60 min each after four and a half I realized nothing productive was happening. My instructor trashed the teachers, the owner and would chat about her love life to me. After ending the classes I tried to get my money back this took three months! Finally, he charged me 25.00 fee and told me it was in our policy that they did not give me, so how could it even be valid?

If you want to go to a Drivers Ed Class and learn absolutly nothing for 3 and a half weeks than this is the class for you. im scared to see some of the kids in my class drive. We arrive at 6.30 start class at 7.15 go on break at 7.20 get off break at 8.00 she tells us what to put on our test (shocker all a's) then we leave at 8.15, half an hour before were supposed to!!!! absolutly ridiculous. i wouldnt trust anyone driveing from Friendlys. PS my behind the wheel instructor told me while driving if i couldnt do it it didnt matter he would give me my license anyway AND THIS WAS ABOUT BACKING UP a major skill

This is my second time using this Driving School and once again I am pleased with the services. I received my license through this school. I feel by taking this improvement class I will learn more about driving. I really like how we get ti talk our different situations that we have been in, sharing important information.

It was a very good class. It inspired me to take precautions when I am driving - Driving violation is not worth your life. I now know there are many different ways to get out of a serious condition. I would recommend everyone to take this class with Friendly Driving School if you have not taken it before.

My instructor was the best.There was some miscommunication at the beginning with the person who answered the phone. I was told that they were booked for the month and then I received a call the next day and then i received calls just about,twice a day Asking if i had a learner's permit.But other than that i had a great experience.I took the adult driving lessons so it was only behind the wheel practice and it was 35 dollars for 50 mins.

Friendly is a very advance course and fast, I had a test every week and was one of the top students in my class my teacher was great. I also messed up and got a ticket and when I called they were helpful and I went Sat. morning, spent all day, and I was done and they again was helpful and understanding. Great Program, and my sister went also.

this driving school is terrible! it is too much money to pay for such a poor service. It is practically impossible to schedule time to go driving with your instructor and all you do is watch videos! you dont have to know what your doing to pass the class, which is the only reason why i did aha

The owners are very good. However, the office staff and personnel who schedule and talk with the public are terrible. The staff's demeanor towards customers is unacceptable. They leave your child on the "list" for months and claim that they can never leave messages to coordinate for driving. VERY unresponsive. I would not recommend this company!
