Daughter went here a few years ago. Instructor seemed ok, price was reasonable (don't currently know cost) daughter didn't get in a wreck before leaving the state a few years later...so I guess a decent class. I do wish more(as I don't think this course does) places taught students how to drive a manual transmission car...they are relatively rare on newer cars BUT if you ever run into one you need to know how to drive one without wrecking, etc.

I don't have to much to really say besides as a student, this place was and is a good alternative and over all school to go too.

The folks here are awesome! Very friendly and helpful, I was welcomed walking in the door despite the fact they were quite busy at the time. No BS, just decent, REAL people. I was kind of nervous about testing and they put me at ease with genuine conversation, smiles and good attitudes. Great prices and the customer service was way above and beyond, making this place stand out compared to the other driving schools I considered. I wish there were more than 5 stars I could give them!

i took both my written test in my drivers test today I just walked in and they were able to take me. I PASSED! all the staff were so so sweet I didn’t feel nervous they made me feel more confident and when I went to take my drivers test The instructor was so good at making me feel calm and he was so funny so sweet and I was really able to focus without feeling nervous! I am 100% recommend big johns driving school because they were more than amazing!

This review is reflecting back on a some years ago when I went here and they had a different owner. Very nice staff and instructors, only 15 classes If I remembered right. What can I say got through it with no problems of any kind and got my license, and they seemed to teach most everything a new driver should if I recall correctly. Sucks to hear that recently they have been becoming really unorganized since under new management. Don't know how true the rumors are but have heard it from multiple people. None the less a good place last time I was there.

I am a current student here! I love the people, they're all so nice and sweet. The fact they take so much time to teach so many kids is so nice. And they have their own cars to drive with breaks on the passenger's side of the car if the student doesn't stop soon enough. It's $400 to start which is actually kinda good in my opinion.

When we entered into Big John's we were greeted with smile. Mr. John was very friendly and very truthful about the tests they do. I had taken my child to 2 other schools and both the other schools told us that the test was really hard and made us feel very uncomfortable. I totally recommend that other parents and teens go to Big John's because it was inviting and less stressful. Thank you Big John.

I went and got my license today and when I saw the older lady who was to administer my test i got nervous because of the negative things I'd read, but I honestly cannot understand what the other reviewers here were talking about . She was pleasant, polite, and made my driving test experience an absolute breeze. Would recommend to any and all people needing instruction classes or tests.

My daughter and I had a great experience at Big John's. All of the instructors, save one, were patient and kind, informative and helpful, all around great teachers. The desk staff was equally helpful and kind. However the drive test instructor is abrasive and rude. She did fail my daughter by four points, and that's fine, if she didn't make the grade then she deserves to have to practice and take it again. However this woman told my daughter that because she failed (by 4 points) she would get in a "really bad accident and hurt someone". THIS is not OK, this is rude and unfeeling, and this woman has no business being around young people. I know it's not nice to call names but she is a... Professor Umbridge, to put it nicely!!! Her demeanor is condescending; her passenger manner is dictator like. With my youngest daughter, I would use Big Johns again, but I would make sure she never had to drive with this woman and she will take her test at the DMV.

Really?? All these negative comments? I generally don't like people and I just met the most genuine and straight forward instructor and staff by far. I would gladly recommend this school/testing site to all my family and friends. And I don't send them to just anyone. All these negative Nancy's that couldn't pass their tests and are bitter leaving bad feedback out of spite. A++

Big Johns has been a wonderful environment for me and all my classmates. I'm happy I got to learn from some of the best instructors. Many people complain about them on here but what they might not understand is they take everyone's safety on the road seriously and wont pass you unless you truly are ready. Thank you again Big Johns for all the great time.

Thanks for all your help. I do love to recommend big johns to my friends and family. Their team are so helpful and care about us. Hillary was sitting down with my dad to explain why he was failure the test. My dad tried the second time. My dad passed the driver test.

Great place, friendly environment. Thanks Matt.Don't listen to the negative feedbacks as if you come prepared and you ain't stupid, you'll pass. Thanks to Steve who did the driving with me.

While I went here as a student several years ago, I remain close friends with the staff. They are amazing teachers and instill responsibility in future drivers and make it clear the responsibilities of the road all while being friendly with students and promoting a healthy environment for all students to learn, be safe, and be confident in their driving.

A amazing driving school, all of the staff and Matt, are very nice and funny and helpful. I just wish that they will start up some sort of a phone call remember about appointments. 4.9 out of 5.

This is the best driving school out there!!! Matt the teacher/owner makes the classes really interesting and he makes sure that you are taken care of. On our last class he did something super amazing but I can't tell you, you have to find out yourself!!! 10 out of 10

Go Big John GO! No idea why anybody needs to go to a driving school it's not that hard....OH WAIT drive around Vancouver and you realize that half the town needs to come here! All you dummies not using turn signals, jacka**'s coming across 3 Lanes of highway to take their exit AND DOPES ON PHONES ALL OVER many of you should come see Big John! Thank God there are driving schools like this to help you!

Matthew Francisco

Everyone was nice and helped answer all my questions. My experience was easy - nothing felt difficult in receiving any sort of information. Highly recommend! Remember to study / practice well! Good Luck.

The instructor is a very nice guy

My daughter had a wonderful experience here. She drove with Steve and he put her at ease and she was able to stay calm enough to complete and pass her drive
