Central Texas Driving School was amazing for my teen's driver's test! I definitely recommend them for anyone looking to take a driving test for their license! Super nice and helpful!

Paid $70 and was not told that it was non refundable. Was told that they go through a script saying to look online for what you need and they did not tell me that. I did not receive a receipt and was rudely told that I couldn't get my money back because it was her time as if I didn't spend time and gas to get there. On top of that I couldn't take my drivers test because I was told I needed a learners permit at the age of 21.

It wasn't the best experience, but it got the job done. They release drives once a week at 10am or 11am? Turns out after you keep failing to get any times they tell you that they actually do it about an hour earlier and some people in the know grab the good spots first. The driving instructor always seemed to be having a bad day and at least in one case took a phone call during the drive.

By the sounds of it is was not work related. Although they open at 10am, it doesn't mean anyone will answer the phone for another half hour or more, my guess is understaffed. Last comment/suggestion is when you send out the things you need on the day of the test, just put a note on the items that the customer doesn't need to worry about if they did the lessons with you and also put what your license number is as you have to have that to do the DMV video before you can test.

We waited to do the video the weekend before the Monday test, but didn't have the number, could find it nowhere online, so called at 10am Monday morning (nobody answered) they called me back around 10:45 with the information. We had to do the 2 hour video, print the certificate and literally run to the car to make the 12pm appointment. It is a small thing that really would go along way.

The best place to do your driving test if you don't have a car. Even if you have a car, I still recommend this place. Highly recommend the driving test prep before the test. You can finish the test without any hassle. Very friendly staff.

We found the prep tests very helpful and thought the testing process was very simple. We appreciated knowing exactly what to bring with us and having it all in one place once we made the trip to the DPS.

We could not have asked for a better experience. The pre test run-through helped calm her nerves and was worth every penny. I would highly recommend this to anyone who may have an over thinker like mine.

Great staff! My son had no issues and all the information was very clear. I wish the instructors during drive time would give advice and even teach some quick information instead of just "evaluating." Also add more spots on Saturdays for kids in school, even if the price needs to increase a little more ($10 for a Saturday). My son mentioned that the breaks for the car would need to be push almost all the way in in order to get the car to slowdown and to come to a stop. Other than that very satisfy with the staff and service.

Received an email regarding what documents where needed prior to test day! This was a huge help with making sure we had everything for the driving school and DMV after. Signed our son up for the pre- test before the one that counted towards his license. Huge success. It was great having him go into his real drivers test with feedback from the instructor prior to the actual test.

Well worth the money. Instructors took time and had patience with him. Really settled his nerves. He passed his drivers test 20 minutes later! So happy! All 3 of our kids have taken their pre-test and actual test with CTDS. They are the best! Highly recommend! Thank you!

We went to the DOT office lat week and after a horrendous experience and my daughter being unable to test I decided to schedule her test here. This was definitely a good decision. It was quick, calm, and professional. Thank you for a great experience.

I am SO thankful that we chose Central Texas Driving School! Our daughter had taken an online course, and we'd been driving around our little country town for months. Almost a year actually. I just couldn't get her to take that final step and drive in the city, or on the highway. I am so thankful I made the right choice when I called Central Texas Driving school. Autumn put my mind at ease on the very first call.

She is so kind and helpful. I told her what our daughter needed, and she set up a driving plan for her. The driving instructor put our daughter at ease right from the beginning. She actually looked forward to heading into town each week for her lesson. The owners are such wonderful people, as well. I could tell that they truly care about their students and their success. All around great experience, for both of us! A HUGE thank you to everyone at Central Texas Driving School!

After so many times of being rescheduled with DPS, we finally decided to give CTDS a try, in order for my daughter to test for her license. It was the best decision we ever made. This place was super nice, helpful, and she was able to complete her driving test and get her license in the same day.
