Maverick Driving Academy 9901 East Bankhead Highway, Aledo, TX 76008

"Booked in July ‘23 for the October ‘23 session. Woman and website stated 6p-8p. Get there the first day and are informed classes changed to 6:30p-8:30p. No notification before hand and no apology for the inconvenience. Daughter needed to make up 2 missed classes for after school activities, was told to come the following Monday and Tuesday. Get there today 10/9 and it’s closed. Website shows as open and again no notification or communication the facility would be closed."

"EXTREMELY RUDE!! We had an appointment 2 weeks ago and I called to notify that we would be late and left a message. When we got there, the secretary notified us they don’t answer the phone on Saturdays & said she would have to ask if we could still test. There is no door on the office, so I’m standing less than 5 feet away, I hear the conversation and the man never looks over and ignores us, while saying that we were way too late, although he was obviously doing paperwork. We had to pay $30 for a reschedule. Came back I. Today, and he was short, acted like we were putting him out, and was extremely rude to me and my son. Rude to me, whatever. Rude to my son - we’re done."

"Come Monday morning 9/18/23 I will be calling the dps complaint office in Austin Texas on (M.D.S) in Aledo. I don't recommend this driving school to anyone."

"The classroom part of the school is fine although my son said how the instructor would go off on tangents about things that had nothing to do with driving at times. But my biggest gripe is trying to get his drive time scheduled. You have to pay $350 for the school and then pay $10 just to use their website. You have to be ready at 4:58 p.m. every Monday to even get a shot at getting a drive time and then you can only book one a week. If your kid isn't a homeschooler and available during the school day then getting a slot is like trying to get Backstreet Boys tickets in 1999. They have very few open slots for parents whose kids are in school. If you're lucky you might get the lovely 8p-10p option but you better run out and play the lotto if your lucky enough to snag a 5p-7p. They are as elusive as Big Foot. Maybe they should put some of their resources into those evening spots and less into the mid-day ones. Glad this is my last kid. I don't think I would go this route again."

"Waste of time, gas and $300. At the Aledo location they give out packets to the kids of extremely poorly photocopied driving manuals that the kids aren't allowed to write in because they reuse them with every class. You would think for the money you pay each kid could have their own. The "instructor" barely covers the basics while going off topic and rambling. If your kid goes to public school or has a job it's almost impossible to schedule the "academy" required 7 driving hours due to all the times that are ever available are midday from 11am-3pm during the week with a session MAYBE popping up on a Saturday if you're lucky which is usually 2-4pm. The parents are left to do the rest of the state required 30 hrs with the kids. Trust me save yourself $300 and just use Aceble or some other online class. The kids will be better off."
