If you are looking for a school to get your class ...
If you are looking for a school to get your class A stay away from this school, there are way better options for schools around the LA are. I attended this school about two months back. What caught my attention and made me go for this school was that they offer one on one training with an instructor. The price also did not sound bad at the time. I ended up going with their 20 hour deal and two attempts at the DMV. I completed my 20 hours and failed both times at the DMV. After my two tries at the DMV you have to pay additional $250 so they can take you to the DMV again something I did not do because of all the negative things I found with this school. At the end I talked to one of the girls at this school and seemed sorry and worried about my complaints and told me she would send all my complaints to her boss but never got a response from them, or a sorry you had a bad experience, seems like they took what i had to say and went straight to the trash.
Yes this school does have one on one training with instructors but for limited hours, I found out a bit too late that there are other schools that also offer one on one training but for unlimited hours, until you pass and for the same price, something I highly suggest. I found a school that offered to take me to the DMV for my third attempt (passed) for half the price and also the next day, not a month later like this school does. Every time this school has to book you an appointment it s always a month away and in that month you can easily forget the little you have learned.
Here are some pros and cons I personally experienced with this school.
Pros:
-They offer extended hours.
-They offer some payment plans.
-They are Bilingual.
Cons:
-Their instructors are not all on the same page as far as what the DMV expects. For example one instructor told me that I did not have to mention the pedals on the pre inspection trip and a different instructor told me that you do, they contradict themselves. This happed with many things that you must do or say on the behind the wheel test.
- If you decide to go with this school I extremely recommend to stay away from their night classes since their yard has very little light, I was pretty much doing maneuvers in the dark.
- Instructors tend to do or waist time, time you are paying a pretty penny for. Example I was taken out to drive and the instructor told me to park while he went to go buy coffee and doughnuts, on time I was paying for.
- their material is not updated, instead of them taking the time and money to change and update material all they say is oh you don t have to mention this or this or this so on and so forth besides the material you have to memories there is also material you have to remember you don t have to learn making it more difficult for students.
- Their trucks are not in the best condition. I almost failed my air break inspection because their truck was losing more than 5 PSI on one of the test, when you cannot lose more than 4 PSI.
- The instructor that takes you to the DMV is the worst of the worst rude, unprofessional careless and very negative. When I went to the DMV I was asking him questions before my test so I could refresh my memory and he told me rudely told me if you didn t bring me breakfast you cannot be asking me any questions much help!
-I noticed that if your hours are up and you look like you will not have a chance to pass the behind the wheel test they do not care and will take you anyways instead of telling you, hey you don t look good for the test its best if you practice some more instead of them taking you and wasting one try at the DMV.]
- There are way more negative things that I found with this school, I think I got my point across. Ill mention it again if you are looking into getting your class A save your money and go pay a school that will truly care for your future. There are way better schools with better deals. I highly recommend to get a school that will take you to the DMV until you get your license.
