Silver Spring Driving Academy

This school was very nice although I didn't go to the driving school I need my extra practice hours here. The guy was nice very patient. Even the owner he was nice as well

Melvi Howard Bell assaulted my friend during her ride. During the driving session my friend said he would touch the wheel to help her steer and then rested his hand on her thigh. She made it crystal clear that she was VERY uncomfortable by moving her leg and moving her body away from him but he proceeded to do it again. MULTIPLE TIMES! THIS IS DISGUSTING BEHAVIOR AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESS IMMEDIATELY!

Don't recommend. You miss one class and you have to wait 1 whole month to redo it. Appointment for your in-person driving exam is a whole 2 months later since every date is booked. The communication is very poor. They never respond to emails. Also they take your money and never call you back to remind you to book your in-person driving test.

Critical: Value Finally, received my refund that was owed to me, my experience was still awful unprofessional managers and especially the owner. Glad I am finally able to cut tides with this driving school.

The classroom portion was very nice and so where the instructors but when it came to my first behind the wheel my instructor was terrible. I do not recommend Daniel at all. It started off okay at first and then through the middle of my lesson when I was turning he grabbed the wheel and turned in the other direction which almost lead to an accident I understand if he believed I wasn't doing it properly but I think that was a terrible way to handle it.

I should not be in fear for my life next to a driving instructor. Then we get to the parking portion of the lesson. We went to Northwood high school and first he made me park and asked what some of the buttons do in the car and I did not know the a few of the names which caused Daniel to talk to me in a rude tone. After that I practiced driving backwards in a straight line and while I was preforming this action his hand was also on the wheel which after what happened with the turn I did not feel comfortable with him doing that and he even raised his voice at me telling me to trust him, Im sorry but that's not how you gain someones trust it just isn't.

He then said something which I didn't hear so I asked if he could repeat it and that lead him to stop the car immediately and yell " Are you stupid, do you not understand English" which I found extremely offensive and it boosted up my anxiety tremendously. I found this behavior absolutely disgusting for a driving instructor not to mention how much he loved to talk about his dislike towards white people.

I'm not sure who let this man become a driving instructor but they must not care for the well being of the students. Now that I have acquired my license I am not afraid to speak about this. 100% DO NOT RECOMMEND AT ALL. This man should be fired immediately.

Terrible driving school would not recommend. The school failed to send my information over to the MVA which caused me to have to reschedule my driving test for a later date very inconvenient and irresponsible then when I called to address the issue Jenny tried to make it seem like it was my fault. Family ran business very dysfunctional I usually don't leave google reviews but my experience was horrible and the owner Wendy failed to even reach out so here you go.

The best driving school in MD. Instructors are very patient and teach you really well. Classroom section was really fun. You learn a lot and are prepared for the final. The people working are super sweet and easy to reach over phone call. I loved my experience here and would definitely recommend it.

I just finished my Driver's Education course with time and I have no regrets choosing them, Ms. Wendy's super fun and makes the class enjoyable. Amazing driving academy, and they have this adorable dog that goes around sometimes. Amazing experience, would give 10 stars if it were possible. Definitely going to do all my behind the wheel hours with them! Highly recommend to anyone searching for a driving academy.

I had a great experience with Silver Spring Driving Academy. Wanda is a really fun teacher, the behind the wheel lessons transformed my driving ability, and they were always really communicative and accommodating whenever something would come up. I highly recommend this program.

I had a very pleasant experience with Silver Spring Driving Academy starting with phone call yesterday. I called at the last minute to schedule a driving skills test for today and they were able to accommodate me. The owners and young lady at the front desk were very friendly and helpful. We arrived at MVA for the test and we were informed my paperwork was incorrect and I would have to reschedule.

The owner left so I could go inside to figure out what was going on. I spoke with a manager and he got all my paperwork squared away. I called the owner and he was more than willing to return, so I could take my test. I would highly recommend this academy to anyone.

Wendy was a very warm instructor and was very helpful and understanding of my situation. I had taken drivers ed before, but that school unexpectedly closed down, with no proof of my attendance. The Silver Spring Driving Academy was very nice to me when I explained this to them, and made sure that I had a spot in their classes. My time their went by effortlessly and I had a way better experience than at the previous school. My instructor Reuben was really patient and gave me some very helpful tips about parking.

I will recommend will this to others. Unlike any other place, this school makes teaching/lessons fun. They also give you helpful information/techniques that will help you get your license. if you live in the silver spring area and need a driving school, choose this place.
