Melvi Howard Bell assaulted my friend during her ride. During the driving session my friend said he would touch the wheel to help her steer and then rested his hand on her thigh. She made it crystal clear that she was VERY uncomfortable by moving her leg and moving her body away from him but he proceeded to do it again. MULTIPLE TIMES! THIS IS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY!

Don't recommend. You miss one class and you have to wait 1 whole month to redo it. Appointment for your in-person driving exam is a whole 2 months later since every date is booked. The communication is very poor. They never respond to emails. Also they take your money and never call you back to remind you to book your in-person driving test.

Terrible driving school would not recommend. The school failed to send my information over to the MVA which caused me to have to reschedule my driving test for a later date very inconvenient and irresponsible then when I called to address the issue Jenny tried to make it seem like it was my fault. Family ran business very dysfunctional I usually don't leave google reviews but my experience was horrible and the owner Wendy failed to even reach out so here you go.
