A-1 Driving School

"Our son came to use this school for the driving test. The instructor failed him for “running a red light” while turning left on a yellow light, while the intersection was clear and safe to do so, the instructor stated he does not know what the handbook says on it and that the light was NOT red. If you do not know what the handbook says or what the laws are with a yellow light in an intersection, you should be educated, to clearly pass or fail someone. For the record the law states, so long as the intersection is clear and it’s safe to turn, you are able to make a left hand turn, when the light is yellow."

"My daughter had a drive with Margene, who repeatedly grabbed the wheel, then hit the break while yelling at my daughter to hit the gas…. Which doesn’t work well for obvious reasons. Then while Margene was driving my daughter she pulled out her own phone and STARTED TEXTING WHILE DRIVING! I am furious! Per my daughter she swerved into the other lane a few times and also hit a few curbs. The fact that this instructor would text while driving is so beyond inappropriate. Thankfully when I called management they seemed to understand and said they’ll make sure we have better instructors- but I’m still so upset that this would even happen."

"They need more drive instructors. We cannot schedule drives for our daughter. She turned 16 a couple months ago and can't get her license because they won't give us drive times. Time to hire more people."

"We’ve been trying to schedule drives for my daughter for 3 months now, but the schedule opens at 10am on Wednesdays and fills within 5 minutes. This is a ridiculously poor method of scheduling and frankly subpar service for the cost of the program. Calling A-1 is unhelpful as they just refer you to the website. It’s to the point I’m considering just enrolling her in a different program. I’m telling everyone I can to avoid A-1 at this point."

"I would totally recommend this Drivers Ed School. My daughter Kailani drove mainly with Margene. My kid felt comfortable, she enjoyed the 2 hour drives, and she got all her questions answered. Margene also did the complete Road test with my daughter before her drivers test which she passed at Drive Right in Midvale. Besides the scheduling of Drives, I highly recommend this place and advise all future students to complete their drives 4 months prior from when their school registration expires that way you don't need to worry about the scheduling. AND To log in Wednesdays at 10am to BOOK a drive if you do end up procrastinating like we did. I will definitely bring my others kids here in the future."
