When taking the class I thought that it would be useful. Now after taking my permit test I realize that it wasnt. They teach you a ton of random things to help you past their test, not the DMV test. Safeway did not teach me one thing that was on the test. I 100% do not recommend.

I have already attended multiple lessons, upwards to about 10. I have had the same instructor, Corey Avis. And to be honest, he makes learning how to drive truly an enjoyable experience. Not one lesson, where i did not enjoy, well perhaps the first one since i was so nervous. Safeway driving has taught me alot of things, they dont just make you memorize rules, they made you practice rules subconsciously. I find myself subconsciously doing the mirror shoulder check and i think that is an excellant habit.Would 100% recommend. Would also recommend Corey Avis, he is truly a great instructor.

Kathy was so helpful. Corey will be driving with my daughter & we appreciate his knowledge and patience in preparing her for her test.

I passed my exam today! I’d like to commend Jane for starting it off and for boosting my confidence. Never driven before and took only 2 lessons with her. She’s so calm and soft spoken which really helps in us being able to think straight and upfront.

Safeway has a great instructor named Dale. He is the best! He works well with students and their families. Request Dale if you need an instructor with patience and skills. He works well with people with health impairments as well. He is a great person. We had great experience with Dale and we are indebted for his patience and perseverance. Thank you Dale!. Safeway is getting 5 stars because of him.

Safeway Driving School was the best. I didnt think my daughter would ever learn to drive! Thank goodness for Daniel! He worked with her and had so much patience with her. I couldnt believe how much confidence she has now. She was afraid to sit in the drivers seat. I now have a daughter who can drive confidently. He worked around my schedule too. Their pricing was also very competitive.

Terrible service and very unprofessional, called many times to schedule an appointment and no calls were ever answered even as they were all made during their business hours, when i finally scheduled an appointment the instructor arrived late and had NO MASK on during COVID, claimed he had breathing issues throughout the whole lesson had his mask dangling on his chin. The car was also disgusting and had empty soda cups thrown in the back and garbage everywhere. very unsanitary and very unprofessional

Safeway is a great driving school. I came to this school after having some bad experiences in driving and they were very patient and kind with me. My primary instructor was Dale and I my anxiety to drive was gone in the very first lesson. I would recommend him to everyone. The staff was pleasant and helpful every time I contacted them. Driving lessons are not cheap(thought, cheaper than most of other schools) but I passed my driving test in a first try 100%, so it is worth it.

When I called the school the person I spoke to was Ericka ! She was very helpful and nice and made me feel welcomed. I love Ericka so much and Lori and was very helpful and funny and I love that kind of positivity everytime she comes in our class and says hi and I feel so happy when she does. Now Sanders he is a very boring person doesn’t really know how to TEACH !!!!!! He makes me fall asleep all the time and I wish it wasn’t like that . But overall the services is a good .

Not sure why so many of the comments are negative. I used the school three times—8 hour lessons, 10 hour lesson, and road test. Kathy is very nice and flexible with scheduling lessons. Sam was an excellent teacher. He was very patient and actively worked with me to improve the areas I was struggling with (mainly turning). He brought his own small pillow for me to sit on in order to improve my visibility, and we spent a whole day working on turns. The school adequately prepared me to pass the road test. I earned a perfect score on the parallel parking.

Great service, easy to make an appointment. My daughter drove with Beau, who also drove with my son a couple of years ago. Beau is awesome! Daughter got 100% on the driving test on the first try and is thrilled.

They were wonderful! My son was nervous driving with a stranger and the driver made him feel so comfortable! He gave my son excellent instruction! We then had them take him out again right before his driver’s test and he passed with a 98%. I HIGHLY recommend them and will use them for my other 2 children.

As a novice driver, I have learned so much at this school. The drivers ed class was a 10/10 experience. Even got my friend to sign up for it. The instructor was funny, and made the classroom a fun, yet stable learning environment.

My son-17 with Aspergers Syndrome-just passed his driving test first go around with a 90! Totally because of Safeway Driving School. This business is professional and caring--and they deliver more than they promise. Every appointment was coordinated and on-time; every lesson came with suggestions and positive input for things we could do to assist our son. Every instructor we had worked well with our son, and because of them and their caring instruction, he has gained a critical step towards self independence. I will continue to recommend this driving school to all of my friends with teens - disability or not. We will be back in a few years with our younger son. Thank you Kathy, Sam, Dennis, Joe, Tami and Ti for supporting our son! And thanks for being one of those rare gems in Las Vegas: a local business that truly cares about their community.

The teacher was not understanding, she was rude. I really want to learn how to drive but she is causing me to lose my desire to drive. Classes are not cheap so I think they should teach with more patience and dedication. I did not like my experience at this auto school. I believe when we are learning we are prone to make mistakes. This teacher definitely needs to learn that we are human. her name is JAYNE BROOKSBANK :(((

They were wonderful! We hired them for our daughter in February and were very pleased with her instructor, Tammy. Tammy was friendly, patient, and gave our daughter excellent instruction, in so much that she ended up scoring a 100% on her driving test! We would highly recommend this driving school if you are looking for a nice and friendly courteous staff with excellent, patient, and knowledgable instructors!

Witnessed a driver of this company get upset with a motorcyclist on the road who was lane splitting and the lady purposely watched the motorcyclist in her mirrors and swerved her car into his way when he approached her car. I dont know if she was going to trying to scare him or really thought about hitting him.This is definitely NOT who you want teaching ANYONE how to drive.Had that motorcyclist been hit its an attempted murder charge.

Review №23

The owner called me all rude and condescending over her billing error. She accused me of being someone else that had been rude to her office and driver and told me I was yappy. She said she was sick in bed and could not deal with her business error. Furthermore she stated she didnt have to talk to me about the billing error since my son was 18 even though hes not the one that paid. She told himWhen she first called on his phone to not put anyone else on the phone and sounded threatening to him. Shes a total psycho and Soo unprofessional! The driver was 2 hours late the first session because of her error not his then the second session the driver was instructed to ask my son for $100 which is a surprise as we were advised BOTH sessions have already been paid for. She has zero customer service skills and blamed the customer for everything. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE!!

The women who owns this school location is disrespectful to her students, not helpful, rude, horrible costumer service, and accused me and insulted me as a dumb young adult compared to her as a sophisticated 60 year old women. She cut me off in every sentence. I was shocked on how they do business here. You should STAY AWAY from this place and go to a different location. They do not show any genuine care. The thing is all I wanted was to see if they still had on file my certificate that I lost from 3 years ago.

The instructor has a bit of an attitude but if you can get past that then the experience is all around pretty good

Sam is great. He does not sugar coat anyhing. He is honest and recommeneds loads more driver training. He is courteous and allows her to make her mistakes then discusses those mistakes with all of us. I love how he tunes into confidence levels and looks for nervousness. Slow and steady will ensure she passes her test. Our baby will be knowledgeable and informed before we turn her loose. Mommy and Poppi are very proud of our angel baby. 3 more sessions with Sam and she will be ready to pass her drivers test without a hitch. The rest of our kids are chomping at the bit wanting for Sam to be their instructor.

I was completely thrilled with the driving school, which is one of the few that is in a classroom and not on the internet. My daughter has a learning disability and they did a fabulous job teaching her and she did pass her test for her learning permit, which is difficult for her.Not only was I completely satisified and will have take behind the wheel from them, but she enjoyed it and learned alot!

I agree with joe 100%. I took one behind-the-wheel lesson there and I will never go back. What a waste of money. I dont know how these people dont have complaints against them with the DMV and BBB. I didnt even get what I asked for. In addition, the instructor belittled me, told me I was a terrible driver and I would never pass my road test, and was very patronizing to me - and I am a 31 y.o. woman. Also, the only reason I made this appt was so that I could gain their permission to use their car for my road test, 2 days later. That didnt happen because the instructor told me I was a terrible driver and there was no way I could pass. He tried coerce me into buying more appts. I just borrowed someone elses car instead. I passed with 93/100. When I spoke to them on the phone a week later, I said I was dissatisfied with what I had received and that I was supposed to have the instructor observe that I was a safe driver, not treat me like a beginning teen driver who didnt know anything. First they told me that he needed to treat me that way because according to his notes, I lacked any skill and need to buy more lessons before they would let me use the car for my test because I was not ready for my test. When I revealed that I had gone ahead with my test anyway, despite what their instructor had told me, and I passed with 93/100, their story changed completely and they told me that was because of the instructor, because he was SUCH a good teacher, that he had taught me soo much in my one hour with him, that is why I passed. Then why did I need to buy more lessons if, at the end, I was prepared for my test? When I tried to raise a complaint, they told me I was a bad driver with no experience - they have all the experience. That is why I needed to buy more before they would let me use their car for my road test. I took my road test with someone elses car instead, and I passed because the instructor is SOO gifted that I started out terrible and learned EVERYTHING I knew from that one hour with this special guy. Does that make any sense to you? It just sounds like circular logic to me. They also told me, when I made a complaint about what I had (not) received, that they know what they are talking about, and that I dont know what I am talking about. Bottom line : the instructor was demeaning, patronizing, and belittled me. The owner acted like a bully towards me, and the other staff I spoke to(Kathy?), were rude, coercive, and manipulative. I got the impression that they are just out to get as much money out of their customers as they can. Terrible service. I WANT A REFUND. I seriously want my money back.
