That's wonderful to hear! Thank you so much for your review, our driving school team truly appreciates it!
Stressful experience—Poor communication and a "not our job" attitude
I’m giving two stars because, while I was eventually able to test, the lack of communication here is unacceptable. I had my permit validated days prior to arriving, yet no one told me I was required to provide my own vehicle with an interlock device.
This oversight caught me completely off guard and forced me to call out of work last minute to deal with the mess. When I brought this up, the woman at the desk told me it was the "DMV's job" to tell me, which is a ridiculous response. Even if the DMV is supposed to mention it, what would it hurt for this school to inform their own customers a second time to ensure they’re actually prepared?
The only reason this wasn't a total waste of time and money was because they had a last-minute 4pm opening and gave me a number for a rental. Thank GOD that man was available to help me on such short notice, or I would have been completely out of luck. They need to do a much better job of being transparent with their requirements. Also the extra cost of those requirements (another $100 on top of their $95 fee, which the DMV told me - my first test was free. They obviously are not on the same page.)

Thank you for your feedback. For an interlock-restricted drive test, the customer must arrive with a properly equipped interlock vehicle. This is not a standard drive test, and that requirement is part of the testing process.
That said, we understand your frustration. We agree that clear communication matters, which is why we worked to help find a same-day solution and provide a contact so you could still complete your test. We are glad that effort prevented the appointment from being a complete loss.
Regarding cost, our drive test fee and any vehicle rental fee are separate charges. We understand that can be frustrating, but those are not the same service. We do our best to help customers understand what is needed before testing, and we appreciate the feedback.

Everyone has been very helpful and patient throughout my time with Americans Driving Academy. I’ve done the 30 hours of in class learning and three BTW lessons and I plan on continuing BTW lessons with Randell until I feel confident enough to take the driving test. Thanks Ally and Randell :)
