Road Star Driving School

"As of the time of writing this review- I have my 6th and final drive tomorrow at 9am. In my opinion, the majority of these reviews don't really accurately reflect Fishers Road Star Driving School so I thought I would add in my own input- as a student too! Most of the bad reviews stem from the lack of spots open. This is because you have to be on the website on the 1st of the month at noon for the spots to drop. In my case, I signed up for my drives on January 1st with no issue. All of the driving places in Fishers are backed up, so it isn’t out of the ordinary for this place to be in the same position. Sure- it’s a little inconvenient to have to rush to sign up when they drop. Though, every other driving school is having the same issue of not having much availability. It doesn’t make them any less of a good business because Fishers is a booming place with many teens learning how to drive. With that out of the way, I’ve completed 5 drives so far. 4 of them were with Gary Snyder and 1 was with Steve Moore. My last drive is tomorrow with Gary. Gary is awesome!!! I have really bad anxiety- I couldn’t stop shaking in the parking lot with my mom prior to the first drive. I felt nauseous, even. Though, Gary is such a laidback and welcoming guy that my anxiety (mostly) dissipated before we even got into the car together. I’m so glad I’ve done most of my drives with him- and I have nothing but good things to say about him. Every drive feels pretty chill with him. Heck, he even turns on the radio- which helps me, I don’t like when it’s dead silent. He’s a super sweet guy and I’ve had such a good experience with him as an instructor. He’s definitely one of the reasons I feel more confident on the road now. I 100% recommend trying to sign up with him if you can. Gary- if you’re reading this, I’m sorry I was always super quiet. I’ve never been very talkative but I really did enjoy listening to your road trivia- like Carmel having 158 roundabouts (1st one being built in 1997 iirc). I’m really bad at being social, my friends can attest to that. Also, I hope you got your email problem fixed and I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help you with that, lmao. Steve is pretty cool too, just not my type of teacher (which is perfectly fine). Another review described him as violent- I didn’t get that impression of him. I would describe him as a very straightforward, blunt, cut and dry instructor. He’s the complete opposite of Gary, but still gave me helpful tips and critiques on how to be a better driver (I appreciate that!!). If you’re doing something wrong- he’ll tell you straight up and tell you to improve on it. While I did walk away feeling like a bad driver (which is more me than him- I’m not the best with handling constructive criticism), I do think having that one drive with him did help me improve as a driver. Again- different teaching styles for different people. Thanks Road Star!! My driving test is scheduled for March 15th, and I’m really hoping I will pass."

"Had a good first lesson with a different instructor but instructor Steve moore or whatever his name is. He was violently grabbing the wheel from me and I was literally crying in the car. He was so scary. He gave me C that lesson. I was so nervous in car and couldn’t wait to get the heck out."

"They tell you to check daily all day if a drive will magically pop up… how about have enough employees for the students to be able to do their drives?? They’re rude, not kind nor explanatory with any of the information taught but probably just to the brown kids because I see huge smiles on their faces when they deal with the others"

"This driving school is great! As long as you communicate to them what your needs are, they will work with you. I definitely recommend talking to Amy and also getting drives scheduled with Gary. Gary has been great with me and my high anxiety. Very kind, too!"

"My son just passed his driving test last night! We are very pleased overall with this entire program. My son completed the written course online, his 6 drives, and driving test with the program. Communication was excellent. My son is on the spectrum and has anxiety so it took a little time to get him used to being behind the wheel. They worked with us to let us know what he needed to work on and spread his drives out until he was comfortable. I highly recommend the program!"
