Reviews of Driving 101 Driving School

Hal

This has been a great driving school for both of my daughters. They have a very organized system and great instructors. Thank you DRVN101!

My daughter had an excellent experience. I didn't get the instructor's name but she was awesome. She demonstrated patience and understanding. I really appreciate the instructor taking the time to find out why my daughter failed the first exam (which was taken at a different school) and offer ways to be successful this time. She asked my daughter to get in the driver's seat, take a deep breath and then make adjustments and get familiar with the inside of the car. Before they started the exam there was conversation that my daughter said helped her feel more relaxed. My daughter said she felt the instructor offered positive non verbal cues that made her feel confident while she was driving. It was an awesome experience for both of us. I hope the instructor sees this review and if there was no covid I would have given her a hug 😊

Had to take the written exam and drive test. They were very kind. And even though I was bummed I didn't pass my first drive test, I completely understand why. The lady doing the test was thorough in explaining what I needed to work on and encouraging as well. They really make sure you understand how to be safe on the road.

I relocated here to Washington and never expected I would have to take a driving test, but that happened, and made me super nervous! At Driving 101 I had Kathy for my Examinor, and she mad me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and ready to drive. Everyone at Diving 101 was super friendly, and made my experience successful! I took my test with ease, passed with ease, and all my anxieties are gone! I highly recommend comming here for your drive test!! These peeps are wonderful!!

the staff is incredibly sweet & they show much they care for their customers. Perfect place to get your testing done & feel comfortable & welcomed while doing so :)

Wes Forgey

This has been a very good experience for my son in preparing him for his driver's license. I highly recommend them!

Really nice teacher. They thought me what I needed to know and let us out mostly at the right time. Enjoyed this class.

Took my written exam failed 2 times not reading the book just online studying, they actually give good advice and how to pass. They tell you to read the book and they let you study the driver book it’s a binder with highlights of questions to study. I followed there advice read the book 5 times, until I understood everything thing. I passed only missed 4 questions 36/40 on the 3rd try. Passed the skill driver exam 80% on the first try. I was really nervous I haven’t driven a car in 10 years in Oregon when I had my license there. The examiner said I passed with 80% I made a lot of mistakes I felt. At the end she told me to work on the things I made errors on. I’m confident now and a safer driver. I’m slowing getting comfortable with driving. Also there are some situations where the book doesn’t mention on what to do correctly. Like streets roads you got go 15 mph where there are houses and the book says 25 mph it’s a street the book never mentions 15 mph anywhere. Anyways at least I passed. The bad thing is if you are even few minutes late you will have to reschedule and pay again no refunds. they tell you to be here 10 minutes early, witch I did, I had to wait 30 minutes because the driver examiner was running late she was still with the other client before me. The cars they let you use are really wide and it’s difficult to turn your head to see to the left when driving. Anyways Great place, great service, great staff.

Everything for the most part went very well and it was a nice place to go being a first time driver. The instructor I had for my last 2 drives however really stressed me out and it was irritating to be praised one second and then be told "why would you do that? That's not right" the next without giving constructive criticism iinstead. I feel like I would've made less mistakes if I wasn't feeling so stressed and tense the entire hour of driving.

Christy Larose

Scheduling was fast and efficient. My driving instructor Kathy was calm and clear in her instructions, professional and very friendly. Office was clean, front desk was very nice and the office was decorated very cool. Highly recommend.

I am not going to lie, it was one of the nicest experiences I've ever had when it came to driving. It took me 20 years to get my driver's license, and these fine ladies helped me get there. I did fail the first test, but Kim my instructor was very detailed in what I had failed on so when I retested I passed with flying colors. I highly recommend them for testing and for driving education. They have the option of using their cars for the driving exam which is helpful if you don't have access to one.

I'm lucky to have a driving instructor Larry, who taught me in whole ways of driving. I'm not saying that the rest of instructors are not as good as Larry, each one has its own way of teaching to drive. After getting my permit and got inside my brother's car, I drove around the neighborhood two times. For the first time driving got me anxious! (Plus made some errors) I never wanted to go inside the driver's seat again, and because I feel so anxious I was wondering how am I going to drive on a freeway!?! But since I got a permit I still need to practice driving. At first I thought why not sign up for driving school? They'll teach me to drive. And so as I already signed up, I drove the instructor's car with the instructor. It took one hour until we got back to driving school. I was laughing myself, it wasn't that scary at all. As time passes by I still learn to drive, sometimes I still feel anxious to be prepared to drive again, but still kept forgetting that it's not scary at all. (maybe I should rely to practice driving with family members than just driving in driving school) As I'm coming close to the end of school, I passed the final test got 97% score (it wasn't the official driver's test.) After passing driver's education, taking my driver's test at last! The test I took wasn't that great as the final test, made few errors. But the examiner let me pass, got 86% score. She also gave me a future reference to work on some errors that I made. But after getting my license, I will do my best to work on it. Anyway, I would like to thank everyone in Driving 101 for helping me get through for becoming a safe driver.

I passed the test in Russian. Then driving with an instructor. I had some mistakes. Now I'll explain: It is very important to make two complete stops if traffic can not be seen after the STOP sign. It is very necessary to look around, not only with the help of mirrors but always turn your head to the right and to the left. Always check for safety!!! Well, the second time I successfully passed the test driving! Both times the exam was taken by one instructor: Calm, polite woman with long hair and a pleasant smile. Sorry, it's still hard for me to remember American names. Of course I wanted an excellent result the first time. But now I'm very grateful to her for the fact that I still trained and successfully passed the exam. Now I know all rules and I know all the points. Girls who take applications are very cute, punctual, always remind in advance. Thank you, very much!!! And my instructor is the best I ever met! Polina M.

They were quite nice and welcoming. They warned me about studying online wouldn't work I insisted on taking it .I failed the first time they suggested I use a highlighted hand book which they created on what to study . I glazed through it within 15mins retook it and pass . Did the driving test as well within 45 mins after the written test. Nice people .

Thomas Burke

My visit today was a great experience, the staff was super friendly even shared some good laughs. It was a non judgmental environment, even learned some new things about driving I never knew in 18 years. For a superb learning experience I highly recommend driving 101.

Vikereo

I was very nervous starting out and on my first drive they made me feel very comfortable and it was a breeze. The testing was about as you'd expect but retaking it is easy, I would definitely recommend

Glenn Taro

Honestly a great place for teenagers and adults, experience was fun and really helpful in my life and safety too. I totally recommend driving 101 to any of you who live in Vancouver and want to attend driving school. The best driving school by far 🔥💯 Thank You Driving 101!!!!!!! …

We have had four children attend this driver school. I would not send my kids into our dangerous roads without proper training. The price seems expensive, but when you consider the driving hours, class time, and testing, it is a value. I have always been satisfied with the courteous customer service.

Jim Gonzales

This school was amazing - we have 6 kids and Emma is our last to obtain her drivers license.....she scored a 96% on her first try and is by far the best driver in the family! In her own words, "I liked that school, they made it fun and interesting!" Five Stars rating in our book!

Cole Haxton

Very great experience I took my driving test with the instructor named Cathy she was very nice and offered great tips and some advice I ended up passing thanks to her giving very clear and straight forward instructions overall very happy with the service offered definitely recommend!

AZ

My daughter loved her time with her instructor (Nena). Dedicated instructors like her make a huge difference with newbie drivers that are very fearful. Being able to form a bond with a teenager that quickly is really something amazing.

Michaela Oehler

Staff were super friendly and very accommodating. Had an out-of-state license that was expired so I had to take the written and practical tests. I'm so glad I chose to do it here because it was so easy to come in and out and get my tests done. Very pleasant experience!!

Russell Brent

My daughter did not want a license when she was in High School. She became a master public transit. Now a junior in college wants a license. I tried to teach her, but quickly realized it might be better for a professional to do it. The folks at 101 are awesome. I am no longer afraid to be in the car with her.

Devin Taylor

Hi I actually did everything to get my license like 3 years ago except the final drive through your driving school I was wondering if I'd need to pay again to do that I asked the DMV if I'd have to redo the written and they said no. Very good driving school didnt finish and get my license for personal reasons.

Kate Starz

Did a brush up course online and then a few practical lessons before taking my test.. Great school to learn with.. Nat was awesome.. thank you for helping me to pass... definitely recommend this school 😁 …

Ryan Mason

I took and passed the course here, the staff were beyond helpful and always thoroughly explained the curriculum the first time. The owner “Nikki” is a amazing person she has no clue how big of a impact her small act of caring made on me ....haha

Cheyenne Keller

Took my permit test here AND both my drive tests. . . Failed my first drive test. A week later passed with flying colors! Got a hug from the instructor! Thanks guys! See ya in the road!

GamingVlogs T

Very helpful driving instructor lady. I would recommend this place to anyone trying to get a license

Mike Bolle

Most of you drivers in Vancouver should sign up for Driving School here to learn how to use your turn signals....... it's that little stick that protrudes from your steering wheel usually over on the left side! Come on in these guys will teach you. Don't forget to hang up your phone

Tanya Pylypovets

Loved this driving school. I had amazing time and staff was always friendly and accomodating to my work and school schedule Thank you guys for making a difference and making this learning lesson a pleasant experience!

A few days ago I arrived in the United States. Since a local license is needed for long trips, I turned to this driving school for delivery. The staff here are very nice and always ready to help. The instructor who took the driving test is the kindest woman. When passing the driving, no one once again drove and was not nervous. Everything was very comfortable. Very important - they have tickets for the theoretical exam in Russian! With 5 years of driving experience in the CIS countries, I passed the theory and driving the first time. I am very grateful to the staff of this driving school. I recommend!
