MasterDrive is great. Were really happy at the well organized way they are guiding us through the process of getting our first teen to be a safe, smart driver. Hes already improved tremendously from the basic and advanced driving camps. And he has yet to do his on road with instructors. This is such a worthwhile investment in our childs life and safety!

My son is meeting his 6 hours of driving with an instructor through MasterDrive of Denver and it has been a great experience. The cost is reasonable, and scheduling/rescheduling has been easy. No problems.

They’ve lost it !We have had 3 of our children go through this program. They used to be good. Unfortunately, that’s no longer the case.Today, my daughter was scheduled for an 845 show up and drive. We called them several times prior to her time this morning, to confirm and got nothing but an answering machine. I had taken the day off, and it is spring break, a rare time to get this done. The roads are clear. I drove out there and the door was locked.We waited till just after 9 AM and someone came out and said her driving coach called in sick. They apologized. Sure wish they would have answered their phone or contacted us to prevent this ! Did her coach really call in a 9 AM ? They’ve lost the ability to manage their business. There are now may alternatives and I’d recommend to go elsewhere unless you enjoy a run around, unnecessarily.

I signed my grandson up to take in person driving lessons at Master drive because they are highly rated. He learned a lot from the classroom to the maneuvers out back on their course. I love that they give him 6 hours on top of that for driving to give him a little more experience. The driving instructors and teachers of in classroom are awesome and very knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Master drive to any parent looking to get there teen their permit.

So I took Masterdrives training course and 3 driving lessons. I learned a lot from them and it made me feel comfortable with driving. However, some of these folks should not be teaching. One instructor kept telling me everything I was doing wrong and I could barely think, I didnt learn much from her. My first test instructor had it out for me. I failed my first test because I was throwing her around. This woman threw herself onto the dashboard. When I arrived I was immediately shunned for asking if I could use the restroom, and supposedly that gave us a wrong start. Although, my second test (days later) was a pass. She was a kind human being (Nina I believe?) So I appreciate that.

Took my driving test here a couple weeks ago without completing all of the classes with the company. The tester was incredibly callous and unprofessional, I was failed because my turns were too tight despite never hitting a curb and drove 5 feet away from the curb rather than three. Its a scam to get you to take their classes. I am never using this service again

The camps were very expensive, and the kids were only able to try the life saving maneuvers a few times...not worth the price. The on street instruction was frustrating, confusing and stressful. My son had 3 different instructors, who all contradicted each other. On physically grabbed the wheel multiple times to show my son how to drive in the lanes, which was very stressful. We tested elsewhere as a result and had a much better experience. I encourage you to shop around.

Has anyone else paid for this service and is NOT getting a phone call from Master Drive to reschedule their appointment following COVID? I have called 3 times and have heard nothing. According to their website they are back open for teen driving sessions. This is concerning and very unprofessional. Any kind of communication at this point would be great! I just cant say I would NOT recommend this company at this point. IF something changes, I will be happy to change my review.

Terrible service. My daughter used their school and then COVID hit and the DMV closed down. By the time she got a chance to take her test and pass her Masterdrive course expired. They would not work with us to extend the course. We would have to pay for it again. Terrible customer service.

I am in the insurance industry and it is always relieving to know that the young drivers are taking their classes at MasterDrive. They always answer their phone, the customer service at all of their locations is great. Eric at the Centennial office is a pleasure to speak with. They never have trouble locating the Certificates when the parents misplace their; even if the student completed their course several years back.

Very poor communication, I have been asking for refund for months but they do not give me good response and not returning my money. I am very disappointed by their customer service.

Review №17

After paying for their most expensive program, my 16 yr old daughter was “failed” for not using their steering technique and for yielding too much at a stop sign with 3 total cars present which was a direct contradiction to their teaching. Our friends were “failed” twice so they could be sold a “test preparation” course.Interestingly enough, after the poorly worded failure, she passed with perfection at Drive Safe the second trip and faced the exact same parameters.I didn’t need a sales pitch, I expected good teaching and factual testing.

Great experience with 2 kids. Safety is their top priority and the kids seem to be engaged with the process. Very responsive to schedule changes. Would highly recommend the program because their people seem to have a passion for making the Denver roads safer.

Both of my kids went through Masterdrive courses and I highly recommend it for any new driver. It gives students the knowledge and confidence to handle many different driving situations. In the driving portion, they are great about giving tips and pointers, so that parents can help their new drivers work on different driving elements for improvement. Parents also gain comfort knowing their new driver is prepared for the road.

2 of my sons have received their driver’s training through MasterDrive... it is a thorough & complete way to teach our children to drive safely. I’m beyond impressed & extremely grateful for MasterDrive’s commitment to intentionally teaching my sons to drive with safety, control & forethought! Now for my youngest son to go through MasterDrive training & my family will be all set to drive safely on the roads of Colorado!

We used Master Drive to teach our two oldest kids to drive and will use it for our two youngest as well. They were very well prepared and neither one of them has had a ticket or an accident since getting their licenses 4-5 years ago. They have both stated that they used techniques they learned in master drive to avoid (sometimes narrowly) accidents that are waiting to happen. HIGHLY recommend!

So glad both my teens took a course with Master Drive. I know they are much safer and more aware of all the traffic hazards because of their training. Excellent driving school!!

Fantastic experience for our daughter. She was nervous about driving after being in an accident a couple of years ago. The class work and driving course work have definitely provided a quality experience that gave her the confidence and knowledge to be an excellent driver. She still raves about how fun driving the obstacle course was.

Master Drive Rocks! I have enrolled all three of my children here. They are amazing and very good at preparing the kids for all sorts of road experiences. The driving course is such great experience for the teens. They feel much more in control and confident behind the wheel. It in priceless practice and experience! They also remind the kids of the importance of safty, and not having a phone handy in the car. My kids are great responsible drivers and the discount from the insurance because the program is so good is an added bonus! Thank you Master Drive for caring about teens and their driving - we are all so much more safer!!!!!!

We are just finishing our time with Master Drive. My daughter has completed all her license requirements and a camp which was so helpful to her. She learned a ton on the skid pad. The staff has been great at explaining everything to us and the teachers have been professional and personable. I would highly recommend MasterDrive.

Review №26

Waste of time and money. The instructors seems to invent useless items to teach just to take up time. We signed up for this program with the intention to have an independent expert to teach our daughter. We have decided that it would have been better to save the money and teach her ourselves. Too much odd opinioned based advice rather than fact based training.Gave one star since google would not allow zero stars.

I can highly recommend the MasterDrive Experience to anyone looking for a quality student driving program expertly focused on safety and building student confidence. We have sent our two daughters through this program and are completely pleased with the results.

My son did not pass his drivers test (at MAsterdrive) the first time and had to take it 3 weeks later. i liked that because clearly they were not going to let rolling stops and the such just slide. They really make sure that your kid knows what he/she is doing. Highly recommend.

All three of my children learned to drive through MasterDrive. It is an excellent program and contains all the elements of success: classroom work, on-site driving, on-road driving, practice driving test, and real driving test. The instructors are knowledgeable and patient. I highly recommend MasterDrive!

Personally I believe this place is terrible and you shouldnt go here the entire staff of driving instructors are mean with exception to a couple. But only a COUPLE! I believe the stuff I learned in the class was important but the n street verbal abuse from the instructors has drawn me to hate driving. I have terrible anxiety and tend to tense up at the wheel and it doesnt help when your being yelled at. There is one guy there that did help me with my anxiety and he will forever be my favorite instructor but most of the women there noticed my anxiety and just ignored it and mentioned it later but they didnt bring light to the situation which in the end caused me to fail my drivers test. Ultimately, I want this place to know that the staff there is horrible with exceptions to a few and I aim to fix things if I were the owners of master drive I would ride with my workers and make mistakes that students would make and let them react how they would. They are not friendly people all the other reviews were people that got lucky. All I ask is that im heard and that you will take what you will from my review. Thank You!

We sent both of our daughters there. One is 8 years older and has repeatedly said if she hadnt gone she would have wreaked on several occasions. She is constantly singing its praises. The younger one is getting ready for her drivers test now, but after the skid course she is really a lot more confident and quite vocal about all my little driving faux pas. Well worth the time and money, if I had another child they would go there too.

My daughter went to MasterDrive. She is an excellent driver. I like how Masterdrive always called us to remind us what she needed to complete to get her license. She loved the instructors too.

Review №34

We did Master Drive with all 3 of our kids, 2 girls and 1 boy. They all learned to drive well, and I think it helped to have the Master Drive course practice, as well as the on-street driving. Its a bit pricey, but worth it!My kids preferred the classroom course for the permit test (as opposed to the on-line classes). They can then take the permit test on the last class day and once they pass, they take their confirmation slip to the DMV to get the permit. Hint: They can take the permit test 30 days before their birthday so you may be able to time the classes over spring break, Christmas break, or the summer- which is what we were able to do to avoid conflict with high school classes and homework.

We paid for my son to go through the program and then paid for him to take his driving test, which he failed. All but one of the items she marked against him are the complete opposite of what he does with me and his father. This course was very expensive and to have this happen makes me question their business motives. I will not be paying for another test and my youngest daughter wont be attending this program.

Review №37

I was really disappointed in my experience. I was really excited to gain defensice driving skills and get more confident on the road after a traumatic car accident. I felt this was really more of a drivers education class than anything else and I was repeatedly belittled by one of my instructors. I should have left on my first instinct after about 10 minutes of being there after I was asked what I was doing there. I stayed to try to give this program a shot, however when I was requesting a refund I was only able to get half back because I did not immediately leave. I live paycheck to paycheck, like most people my age (25) and I really don’t have $450 (now $250 since I was partially refunded) to spend to get verbally abused, especially after the thousands of dollars I’ve spend in therapy after my car accident. I think this program was started with good intent and I really enjoyed speaking with everyone except the one woman that was rude to me in my vehicle, but I would not recommend this for anyone over the age of 16. Especially if you don’t have a spare $450.

Review №38

My son failed his driving test 3 times at this place. Each time, a different reason was given for the failure. They even suggested he take the practice test for an additional fee, which he had already taken after the 2nd failure. His experience with them severely impacted his self confidence. Frustrated, he then took the test at DriveSafe 5 days later and passed with no violations. Go figure....

Review №39

Both of my son and daughter have gone through this program and I have actually gone through a shortened program myself twice. They have an actual driving coarse on their property so students get real world experience in skid control and emergency maneuvers.My son has been driving for well over a year now and is doing really well. Our daughter just received her learners permit and I have already seen what the program did for her. I took her out to a snow covered parking lot a few weekends ago so she could practice breaking and turning in icy conditions. She did great!The program gives them much more confidence starting out so they fine tune their driving skills much quicker. I would recommend this program to everyone.

Review №41

Master Drive (Bandimere speedway) was an immense waste of time. After spending over 12 hours at the defensive driving camp, I learned virtually nothing. All but a few of the employees were socially inept and made learning new material very difficult. Throughout my whole experience (Defensive Driving, 6 hours driving, Drivers test) it was realized that master drive is a waste of money and time.

Review №42

From the Fort Collins program.... all three of my children have now completed MasterDrive’s drivers ed programs. While the combination, cost and arrangement of classes changed slightly with each kid, all three ended up taking first the “in class” drivers ed (not online), then the 2-day defensive driving camp at the old FoCo airport, and last the on street training once they’d obtained their permit. (You can enroll them in the defensive driving course before they have their permit if it’s within a certain number of days - check with them for details.)I’ve been very pleased with the quality of instruction, the friendliness of the driving instructors and the overall program. It’s pricey to do the whole package as we did. But we’re talking about teaching kids to be safe drivers who will 1.) drive safely so as not to endanger the lives of others and 2.) drive smart so they will notice and react to the dangerous driving of others, hopefully without getting into an accident. It is worth the cost.Doing the driving camp initially gave my kids an immediate boost in confidence behind the wheel. And it taught and reinforced with repetition how to react in accident avoidance situations.I’d say my children are doing very well as new drivers. The oldest is 20 now. I recommend MasterDrive to all my friends whose children are turning 15!

Masterdrive gave my son - and equally important, me - the confidence to be a good new driver. While the courses are not inexpensive, I highly reccomend Masterdrive. Why would one ever let a child attend a 2nd rate driving program - this education is vitally important.

Review №46

We had a great experience with our older son. Mike was so helpful with all of the explanations and scheduling. The experience with our younger son has been a hassle. It has been very difficult to schedule the camps and trainings. We now have to drive across town to the Vandemere location for 2 of our trainings. This program is VERY expensive so I have an expectation that I will at the very least be able to schedule the trainings and driving test. My son is now taking his driving test at Drive Safe (They can get him in on May 17th instead of June 22nd!!).
