Lane County Driving School, "LCDS"

"Tina is the truly the best instructor out there!! I felt so confident during my test thanks to her she has lots of helpful tricks that make driving feel easier and makes you feel comfortable during lessons. Scheduling was super easy and lessons always felt very thorough. Loved my experience 100% recommended!!!! Thank you so much everyone at LCDS :)"

"Highly recommend for any teen driver! My son is now prepared to drive on his own. Thank you for giving my son the tools to be a great driver! I will be signing my daughter up when she's 15."

"My overall score reflects my whole experience with LCDS. While I think they did a good job of teaching my teenager how to be a responsible driver, I feel the business wields it's no tolerance policy like a weapon to their benefit. The reason for this statement is based on my experience. LCDS really drives home their no tolerance policy, which is meant to protect their employees from rude and aggressive customers and parents. They really drive home their attendance policy and charge people for being late. They really spent a lot of time explaining how important it is for everyone to be on time and that their time is very valuable, which I agree with. Imagine my shock when the school was letting kids out up-to 30 minutes early, which is a violation according to the state representative at ODOT I spoke to. The school is supposed to provide three full hours of instruction a day. I was very confused about this, so I emailed the staff at LCDS to ask why our kids were being let go early. Before I even started a conversation with their office staff, I knew I had to do my best to use positive language and smiley faces to communicate positive intent and to make sure I wasn't sounding rude. Well, the owner told me I was being passive aggressive (is that what positive tone and smiley faces represent these days?) Which violated their no tolerance policy and I was being threatened to have my kid kicked out, which would have resulted in a loss of $500. All I did was inquire about why kids were being released early. I'm guessing the owner doesn't appreciate being questioned. Once the no tolerance threat was made, I stopped communication with LCDS and called ODOT instead and they told me that the kids should not be allowed to leave the class until the full 3 hours were completed. After my call, LCDS announced to the kids that they wouldn't be allowed to leave early anymore. So my advice and warning to all parents is, do not even communicate with the owners if you sign up. If you do communicate, make sure it's over the phone, record the conversation for your protection, and do not even appear to challenge or question the owner. Don't show any emotions that can be used against you, and if you have any issues, reach out to ODOT for help. Other than that, I'd recommend using them for their services as long as you protect yourself."

"I 100% recommend this to any teen that will be driving soon. LCDS is a warm and inviting place!. They have helped me so much learning how to drive and overall how to be safe with operating a motor vehicle. There was a lot of things that I didn’t know until I came here. Dan was an amazing instructor. He made class fun and exciting. Thank you so much LCDS!"
