Reviews of 405 Driving School & License Testing Center

Great driving school in the area. I took my September-October driver's ed and it went smoothly. Love the instructors Derek, Chris, and Kramer they're all nice and patient and chill instructors teaching me all of my driving lessons especially Kramer who's my examiner for my driving exam helping me succeed and pass my driving exam on my first attempt. Thanks for everyone at 405 driving school helping me succeed and be confident on my driving 👍.

Karen Scannell

I want to thank 405 Driving school and my instructor Chris .I had had an extremely bad experience with another driving school instructor which had been recommended by the DOL, which knocked my confidence. I did both my theory and practical with 405, and in contrast to my previous experience, 405 from receptionists to instructors, were courteous, pleasant , professional, and went the extra mile in ensuring I regained my confidence, and made my.experience as stress free as possible. I now have my full driving licence, which will change the quality of my life. Thank you so much..in an already stressful world, being good people and genuinely wanting your students to do well, can make all the difference. I cant recommend this school highly enough !

Jaden Williams

My main man Kramer, the single handedly greatest driving instructor of all time, taught me not only how to drive, but how to be a man. Without Kramer's undying confidence in me and his relentlessly incredible teaching, I would not be the young man I am today. I have such a significant amount of gratitude towards this handsome, 6'5, 245 pound dude. Kramer if you see this, you are the best ginger to ever walk this planet. Thank you sir.

Tigress

Very kind, and helpful staff! Was able to get scheduled fast, and complete my written and road test in just two weeks :) Highly recommend taking lessons/tests through 405 driving school.

Madison Faughn

I took this class during December 2022 and January 2023. Kramer was my teacher and he was the best. He kept the class fun and interesting, but also made sure we knew the risks and were being smart when it came to driving. Thank you Kramer!

Debor Huizinga

My third child went to 405 after the previous children having used another company . Instructors are fantastic and patient . Best to plan your drives on Thursdays when they drop the slots . Appreciate the consistency of the instruction . Shout out to drive instructor Michael!

ISRAEL CERON

I wanted to take the time to share my experience, after visiting literally 10 Driving Schools here en WA I was so happy to find one where their customer service was excellent, I took both exams there with them, they explain to you the process and everything, very professionals. You will be surprise how some driving schools treat you, they treat you Iike they are doing a favor to you, No way, you are paying for a service it is not free! I’m glad I found a place like this ! Keep it up guys, Good Job !!!

Carrie Zhang

I passed my road test with Chris, he's very nice, you can just relax and not stressful at all. the road test on the neighbor's road, doesn't have too many traffic lights to pay attention. Trevor is very nice as well. I like this amazing place. highly recommend.

Oksana Shcherbakova

I want to express my deepest gratitude to Mimi Smith. She is a wonderful person who instills in you calmness and confidence in your abilities. Thank you very much for your work. You are beautiful! She was my examiner. She was very kind and polite and explained every detail of the test to me. I passed the test successfully and she explained all my mistakes. She is a real professional! P.S My English is not very good, but Mimi was cheerful to me and explained everything that I need to do. Thanks!!!

Robert Collins

Great experience with 405!! Haven't had a license in over 24 years and the people there were professional and friendly. Helpful when they could be and very pleasant. My driving examiner was fantastic. Very personable and when he had to mark me down explained in detail what was expected, and what could be done to be a safer driver. 90 of 100 so I passed, and was informative in the next steps to get my DL! Thnx TF!!! You're the best!!

Adailson Pereira

I'd like to express my appreciation for the efficient, fair, and professional practical driver's testing experience I underwent. The staff was friendly and courteous in their greeting and assistance to me. The gentleman who administered my practical driving test, Brian, was very knowledgeable, informative, and interested in ensuring I had an effective and comprehensive test. Thank you, again.

Ronald Green

This is a great place to take care of all your driving needs. I recommend this school to anyone that is trying to obtain their license. The staff is awesome. Friendly and polite. Collin is fantastic. I would recommend you take him for your skills exam. He is very detailed and he definitely knows his game. I received my license in California. The schools down there pretty much suck. I never had such a wonderful experience. I recommend 405 Driving School 100%!.

Stan V

The driving instructor were very friendly and chill. And I believe everyone there is nice. I took the written test about 5 time to pass and only 1 time for driven test an as I can remember they were all good at what they do.

Andrea Larson

My daughter just graduated today and passed her drivers test. We loved every aspect of 405! They are very responsive to emails, helpful with my many questions and extremely positive with my daughter. They made learning fun and my next child will attend 405 too! Thanks to the amazing staff at 405!!

Tin Vo

Amazing experience with this school. Even on an online platform, the actual Teen Drivers Ed course was engaging and not overwhelming, and prepared me very well for the knowledge test (shoutout to Chris McLaughlin). For the actual drives and drivers test, I had Mimi Smith the most and they are amazing! I 100% recommend this school to anyone!

Pat Boss

Had a great experience and good conversations on all my drives with Christopher and Trevor, they both made learning to drive really enjoyable. Overall, this is a great place and 100% recommend.

Vivian N

I took the driving/road exam here with Instructor Colin Curry, and the experience went great! He does not make the exam intimidating at all, so test takers feel more comfortable showing their skills. It was quite easy to schedule an exam even during the COVID pandemic, which helps a lot for those who are busy. I also received an email about a week before the exam date with instructions regarding COVID safety and exam expectations. Overall very satisfied!

Dawit Taddele

They are friendly,professional helpful.Dedicated driving instructors.

Raul Alchinov

Hello! I want to thank all people in this school. I was really impressed by service. Firstly made an appointment for knowledge test, but there was something wrong and my appointment was cancelled. When i came in( without appointment) they made an appointment for me in 5 minutes and i successfully passed the test. Secondly i want to thank Chris. He was my examiner. He was really kind and polite, he explained me every detail of the test. I could ask him anything. I successfully passed the test and he explained all of my mistakes. He is a real professional! P.S my english is not very good, but all people were kind to me and tried to explain me everything what I needed. Thank you!!!

I passed my road test today with Chris! He is super nice and patient, answered all my questions during the lesson and gave clear instructions. All staffs here are very friendly and responsive. Awesome experience:)

Cornel Perde

I recommend 495 Driving School to everyone out there. Good incitement and good people 👍👍 …

L Minion

I was a student there for there classes and let me tell u. They are incredibly caring and all the session instructors make it fun to learn about the road and how to stay safe. They are super duper flexible with your schedule. Because I'm in school that is really close to the place I was able to get picked up from school and start my drive with the instructors from there. If u are 15 and a half and looking for a great driving school with great people and want people that are flexible with your schedule and the weather here in Washington. This is the place to go! Thank U 405!!!

Dip Slip

The school is one of the best driving schools out there and the staff is just absolutely amazing and very fun at that too. Emily at the front was very caring and provided me with the absolute most careful care and helped me whenever I had an issue I am really thankful for her help.The teaching in this school is very fun and engaging making the content easy to remember. I come back here with friends and they welcome us back with open arms. And parents absolutely bring your children here because these are the best people for the job to teach your children how to drive and learn the rules of the road. They'll definitely take care of them with top quality care. Absolutely amazing school. The coolest staff ever. -from ya boi Anthony P. Le Maxwell Curry Collins and Shawn Johnson and the rest of the gang you guys are the best and some of my coolest adult friends.

I took knowledge test and driving test here with Collin. Passed both with my first attempts. The staffs are helpful and kind. I would recommend to people are looking for a good testing experience.

Ethan Weisbrod

This is the absolute best experience I have ever had. All of the teachers and instructors were friendly and funny and taught in a fun and engaging way.

Chris Hughes

Just passed my test first time at 405 Driving School today. Awesome experience. The examiner Trevor who is also the owner was very chill and it made the test a lot less stressful. The girl at reception, Alex I think, was really friendly and gave me tips while I waited to begin my skills test. Couldn't recommend them enough. Thanks guys!

Ana Cláudia Abreu

Workers are really polite; easy to find available time; really good prices. They always will tell you what you should improve or study better. I had a really good experience. When I had issues trying to find my app just emailed them on weekend and I got an answer real quick.

Nico Paolo Cargo

Everyone I had the chance to encounter was very accommodating. I’d like to give my kudos to Ms. Mimi Smith, she was my instructor. She was clear and concise with her instructions and she was patient with me. I would definitely recommend this school.

kathryn

kramer was the best and was super helpful with everything.

Michael Fedorsha

I highly recommend going to this driving school. First off the front desk girl is super cute!!! She reminds me of Tania Raymonde from lost 😁. Very nice girl too . My driving instructor was super rad. I believe it was Collin. Very thoughtful, professional, and just made the whole experience very comfortable. A+++ …

Han Xia

The instructors that teach in the classroom are very funny and nice! Got my license here and their driving exams are very fair. This place is cheaper by a few hundred dollars compared to Munros' Driving Instruction and other local driving schools. I definitely recommend it!

Eye of the Storm

The people there are very friendly and patient with you.at the end they also have me advice and moral support on what I needed to work on and get better at and I appreciated that.

Jeffrey Walker

They have cars you can use to take your drive test. I used my second chance to take the written test on the same day as my drive:) very kind and accommodating staff. Allowed for me to get my license back during the pan dang it, thanks a ton!

Ella Lie

Pablo Noia

I highly recommend 405 Driving School & License Testing Center; Collin was an exemplary driving instructor, calmly and clearly guiding me through my driving lesson, patiently answering all my questions and ensuring I was well informed and ready to pass both my written and driving exams. Kim with her super smile, was super-efficient with processing my details and providing advice on 'what next' after completing and passing both my tests. All in all, a AAA experience ... Thank you Collin and Kim.

Both safety that was guaranteed and the good welcome create a appropriate environment making this center the best place to take test.

Jolan Vu

+5 extra stars, They are super chill and really good at teaching especially during the drives. Can even be used as a hangout spot since I’ve been coming in here for months now just for fun. 1000000/10 recommend this place for Hazen High School students and others.

Naomi Solam

My daughter went to 405 driving school. She had a really great experience. Not only did they teach her to drive, they also prepared her for her driving test. Everyone who had contact with her was so patient and positive.

chernel abu

Took and passed my written test here on the 1st try and it was the most stress free environment ever highly recommended to anyone, only thing I wish they do is offer you a driving test the same day you pass so you can get it all done in one day if you wanted to you’ll have that option :)

Emmanuel Assumang

Staff was very friendly! I would definitely recommend here.

Rufina Bai

maryam eyvazi

I had a road test with Christofer, and he was polite and welcoming. So I wasn’t stressed out. I highly recommend them.

keiamarra murphy

I passed my drive and written at 405 everything was great, but when it was time for me to get my license my test scores haven’t been put in the system, when you call you never get a answer, I’ve called about 30 times and still no answer, they did this when it was time for me to get my permit too, I had to email my teacher and he was the one to put it in the system for me last minute, I have no clue why it’s always so hard to get In touch with them, I’ve left a voicemail many of time and they said it’ll be 24 hours till I get a call back, yet that’s never happened, I find that very unprofessional, and when I went to take my written and passed they’re system was saying that they didn’t see my payment or spot for the test, but yet I had got a whole conformation email, please update your systems because this isn’t very pleasing.
