Mr.Adams prepared me very well for my test Edit: they tell you to give them a good review at the end of the in car sessions along with mentioning the instuctors name they also try to give you a cheat code to passing the cones test on the exam rather than actually making sure you are good at it which does not apply to real driving and parking you cant just use a combination of very specific steering angles to park in certain spots they dont actually teach you how to tell how far away you are from the cones without a backup camera. They will get you to pass the test but that does not mean they will teach you to be a good driver after the test Which is the purpose of my 3 star rating.
Thank you so much for your review!
Where do I begin, this school was the absolute worst driver's ed you could ever spend your hard-earned money on. When I finished the Zoom classes and took my final test, I was told that my answers were not counted because "the answers were not capitalized.” If you’re gonna screw over your consumer at least take them to dinner. No where on the test or website was this listed. And on the word of in-cars, my instructor was terrible, he contradicted the Zoom lessons, constantly made sexist comments to my face and belittled me for everything. Additionally, he charged my mom for gas money, which by default should be included in my tuition. His car was disgusting and smelled like cigarettes and he was late every single time. This place is horrible, do not use them, spend your 600 dollars on a place that will actually treat you like a human-being.
Dont do it!!!!! They are horrible at communicating!! You cannot call and reach anyone, only a voicemail which will never be returned. You MIGHT get a response by text but, IF you do, you have a 20% chance your concern will even be addressed in the AI response. I signed up my teen for in-cars instruction. They have a calendar in their faqs that gives you an idea of available in-car sessions before registering but, you cant open it, just see available dates. However, its a trap. As soon as you pay, you can open it and go to the calendar to select slots, those availabilities on the faq are not available to register. Once you open the calendar you see theyre not actually available but, waiting for an istructor so, you can't sign up for those days. It is nearly impossible to schedule in-cars classes. As I write this right now, there are no classes available AT ALL. Not even in 3 months from now. They barely have any slots on weekends, none before school and a small handful after school but those times never show up as available on the actual calendar. Your teen will need to miss school because that's when their instructors are available. They have Ohio law plastered all over their site that teens can miss school 4 times by law for driver's training but, that shouldn't eradicate overbeeke from having instruction outside of school hours. Their availability is almost impossible to get registered for classes and no one will respond to calls or texts. The one 2- hour class my teen actually took so far was only 1 hr and 15 min. The instructor was late and then dropped him off 30 min early. This place lacks organization, professionalism, tact, common courtesy, and most of all communication is non-existent. If I could get a refund and go somewhere else, I would, hands down, in a heartbeat, even if that meant waiting another 3 mos for classes. I have more kids who will need drivers training and I will not go back here, EVER. Trust me, anyone reading this, ignore those 5-star reviews. All the 1-stars say the same thing. Stay away. Its not worth the risk!!!!!!! Pray for us because my teen still has more classes to complete and I hope he gets his certificate after completion because I read on these reviews that's an issue as well. Dont think you'll be any different. Don't think the 1-star reviewers must've done something wrong. Don't think it won't happen to you. The risk is not worth the reward. Stay away!!!
