I am so happy with Don Tre driving school. My initial meeting was with Don the owner and he was so humble and pleasant. My daughter recently completed her 6 hours with instructor, MaryAnn. MaryAnn was perfect the perfect fit for my daughter. I wish my oldest daughter would have had the opportunity to learn from an instructor like MaryAnn. MaryAnn was stern when necessary to ensure safety but most importantly she was patient, caring and encouraging.

I've taken my daughter on the road since she has completed her hours and I am very comfortable with her driving. The cutest thing is when my daughter recites MaryAnn's instructions as she drives. She couldn't have had a better instructor. I highly recommend MaryAnn from DonTre! Thank you!

My son just passed his road test today on the first try after knowing the instructor only two days. I give MaryAnn of Don-Tre all the credit for giving him the confidence, knowledge, and "pattern" required to execute all aspects of the driving requirements. Moreover, MaryAnn is very kind, a skilled instructor, and dependable.

Terrible experience with them. My daughter had a road test today and nobody showed up. She called them and left a voicemail and I sent them an email in the morning. No response. When I finally got through to them, they were defensive and unhelpful. Don told me that the instructor who made the appointment with us had left the company. He said we should have called a week prior to the appointment per contract.

He hadn't received my email and he also didn't receive my daughter's voice message - because it was someone's else's job in their company to track messages. It was an unproductive call. From the moment Don heard about the missed appointment he seemed interested only in defending his school with the sole objective to have me agree that it wasn't their mistake. No suggestion whatsoever on how to handle the missed appointment. I'd called to reschedule the session with them but decided not to.

My 16-year old just completed her 6 hours of driving experience with Don-Tre, and we are happy customers. Her instructor, George, was kind, patient, and helped her feel comfortable behind the wheel. Starting out can be scary for a 16-year old, so we are glad that we were in such good hands!

My daughter just finished her 6 hours behind the wheel. What a great experience from start to end. I spoke with Don directly about my daughter. The paperwork process was easy and fast. My daughter was paired with the perfect instructor for her. Her drivers test is set for next January and we will 100% hope to have Mike, the same instructor, take her to her test (after a small refresher). You have to hire a company you can give your trust 100% to and we did. Feel safe engaging with Don Tre for your child's six hours behind the wheel.

We used Don-Tre for my daughter's behind the wheel training and drivers test. They worked around my daughter's busy schedule, and would pick her up at school for the lesson. After the lessons, she was well prepared to practice with me. When it was time for the driving test, we realized that we had misplaced the permit. Don-Tre quickly replaced the permit in time for the test. However, when my daughter arrived at the testing site, she realized that she has also lost the score card from the written test and could not take the test. Basil arranged for her to come back later in the day and drove my daughter out to her school 30 minutes away to get a new card. Basil kept my daughter calm and focused and she was able to pass her driving test.

We appreciate Basil going above and beyond in spending almost six hours to ensure that my daughter got her license on her 17th birthday; and more importantly, for making her an excellent driver.

My son Nick just completed his 6 hours of training with Ash. He was very comfortable with Ash and coordinated his schedule with Ash directly. Upon driving with him after the course I can see he is a confident driver with his permit and all the key skills are there. We are very grateful and my son had nothing but good things to say about Ash and Don Tre.

I was raised in the city and never learned to drive until I finally moved to the suburbs. Driving has always terrified me and I thought I would never be able to do it. I took Ashley for the 6 hour package and he helped me set up my foundation for starting. I then had Gerry for one hour lessons and the brush up for my road test. Parellel parking was a struggle but Gerry helped so much and he helped me pass my road test today! The instructors are amazing at Don Tre and highly recommend them! If I feel like i need additional practice, I will not hesitate to call them again!

Don Tre Driving school is an amazing school, the instructor by the name of Mike was very helpful and kind to my son while helping him brush up on the requirements for the driving test as well as driving in general, being so kind as to lending us cones for the month of the test to practice parallel parking section. I would highly recommend this school to any parents looking for a good school to teach their kids, the rules of the road.

Our experience with Don-Tre has been fantastic. My son finished his 6 hour behind the wheel instruction and received his permit about 2 weeks ago. Peter was a pleasure to work with. My son loved him. I was totally comfortable driving with him after he finished his 6 hours. He was even able to do a great job parallel parking in Summit which proves Peter taught him well!
