Driving MBA

In a state that doesn't require any type of "driving training", finding your company was a true gift. I am very happy with both the communication I have had with the instructors, as well as the instruction. Thank you DrivingMBA.

Britney from this office called to tell me about the $75 fee for my son missing his defensive driving session today. When I told her that he had just been in a car accident and was very shook up all she did was go on and on about their fees and cancellation policy! She never even bothered to ask how my 16-year-old son was who was in a car accident who has been in their driving classes for months!

Note that there are cancellation fees and apparently these people don't care about circumstances - even that of a car accident involving one of their students! Good luck to you and your children in finding a good driving course

Decent place Ive heard. AZ is one of the safer states for driving, doesnt crack the top 10 list of fatal accidents per capita. We have many good drivers, better than places like California in my experience which requires license renewal every 5 years. Problem is mostly just some rude drivers here and there, they know how to drive when a cop is around so its not an education issue. Hope this places teaches road rage to the youngsters.

------------------------- I feel very confident that my son is prepared to drive safely on our busy roads after completing the DrivingMBA program. I'm very pleased with the overall program and instructors.

My daughter arrived feeling very nervous and anxious about driving. The instructor were very patient with her. The simulators were what best helped her over come and fear on the road. She left feeling confident and ready for the road

Driving mba has an amazing exceptional learners program! They are extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and caring. They would not put my stepson on the road until he was ready! They truly care about the safety of their students. I would highly recommend this program for anyone who has a child with special needs! Kathleen Ryan is outstanding in every way!

While the curriculum is excellent, they don't make it easy to do business. I can't not think of one time I called to schedule where they answered the phone. When they did return a call there was no sense of urgency and willingness to help schedule. We paid for the full program and didn't even finish because it was too difficult to make it work.

I like these people. They are funny (have a sense of humor), and as best I can tell they make a good faith endeavor to follow through on all commitments as stated. In communicating with them about the possibility of training I felt that they wished to help me optimize my skills in a healthy and nurturant manner while maintaining professional protocol.

As far as I'm concerned that's how business should be done. Current life challenges may not allow me to take up training in the immediate future, and I will also keep this organization in mind for the future.

Thank you so much Driving MBA. Two of my kids graduated from your program, and I am very happy with the results. I have 2 very safe drivers. I appreciate how well your program is run and all the excellent information you provide to both students and parents. Thank you for everything you do.

So let me start by saying my husband, Justin, wrote a review tonight. I am writing a review to provide more perspective to Maria, who apparently needs a healthy dose of it. Maria-this is aimed specifically to you. There is not a business in America that doesn't pay for their employees time when cancellations occur. Not. A. One. The fact that you think you are somehow unique in this regard is mind boggling to me.

Where do I start? Doctor? Dentist? Chiropractor? Physical therapy? Staff for all these? And I read the other poor reviews. I love how you've tried to mitigate these cancellations with doctors notes but it was too much to handle. Really? You have a staffing problem over there? You couldn't be further outside the bounds of reasonable. Like on another planet.

What you really want is for ALL your sick customers to show up-infection be damned. Covid has made EVERY BUSINESS make allowances. It is different-this isn't strept throat. I would STRONGLY ADVISE you to make sure you VERBALLY tell everyone that signs up the covid rule. I assure you that you will get push back -or just have folks show up sick-and that my dear, is on you. For not being reasonable DURING A PANDEMIC. Honestly, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Totally insensitive! I am respectful and mindful of cancellation fees although I cannot digest this one. I called Driving MBA this PM as my son was in contact with a friend whose dad was diagnosed with C-19 today. I called Driving MBA out of an abundance of caution, and respect. To be clear, my son was not in direct contact with the individual whom was diagnosed with C-19, but was in contact with his friend whom has not been diagnosed with C-19.

My son feels fine and will only be tested for Covid in the event that his health circumstances change; OR, if his friend was to have a change of circumstances. Regardless, per Driving MBA policy, my son now cannot come in for his appt. tonight per their policy and Driving MBA are going to charge me an additional $50 (above and beyond the ~$1,350 that I have already invested) for the inconvenience, I.e. a cancellation fee. Further, they offered to sell me some cancellation insurance. Are you kidding me! This is certainly a unique time and if Driving MBA want to punish me for being responsible. As a result, I CANNOT RECOMMEND DRIVING MBA IN ANY CAPACITY.

Very professionally run, felt like my daughter had an excellent basis for her driving. Such a relief to have help with this important learning skill.

Great driving school that I would highly recommend. My daughter really learned a lot of great information and skills that will help to keep her safe on the road. The instructors were excellent and my daughter enjoyed all her driving lessons. She completed the hours we signed up for with the school and also practiced a lot with my wife and myself and then passed the driving test administered by the school feeling very confident. I am very happy we had my daughter attend Driving MBA.

Overall, we were happy with our experience at Driving MBA. They employ several female instructors, which made our daughters and us feel more comfortable. The girls liked all their instructors. The instructors have high expectations for the kids' driving ability. When my daughters' 16th birthday arrived, the instructors told us they needed more driving experience before they were ready to become licensed drivers.

It was a disappointment for sure, but the instructors were right. We practiced for another month on our own, then the girls passed their tests w/ MBA. After the tests, MBA uploaded the info onto the ADOT system, and it was easy to go there immediately after to obtain their licenses. Communication could be a bit better. Would have appreciated someone ahead of time letting us know what to expect of the testing and licensing procedure.

We received some conflicting information from employees, but it all worked out. Also: My suggestion to parents would be if your kid has a half-decent amount of road experience before they start at MBA, they can probably skip the lessons on the simulators - those lessons are really for true novices.

Learning the vital lessons on road safety and the do's and don't while operating a vehicle - is going to be with your teenager for life. The team at Driving MBA truly take the time to ensure they deliver on these critical lessons to your child. I was truly impressed with the quality of their lessons, the responsibilities of driving class (theoretical), their simulation labs and the on-road instructions.

Their instructors are ALL truly amazing, every one of them. They making the learning a lot of fun. The experience from the time we called in to enroll, all the way thru a few months later when our child got his on-road test completed - was above-par. Driving MBA exceeded our expectations. Yes, there are other, perhaps cheaper driving school around the valley. But, if you are truly vested in teaching your child the good habits and lessons of being on the road - look no further! Driving MBA is really good!

This school is amazing. The instructors are fun and knowledgeable. I really liked the sim lessons. It made it easy to practice Driving knowledge before going on the road. Kathy and Dev are amazing. They motivate young drivers like me to learn and practice the safest rules on the road. Thank you MBA. Looking forward to becoming a good driver PS. The school has a lot of resources for parents. And the process is flawless. They really care. Great communication. Alex Dana and Bogdan.

We love Driving MBA. I couldn't imagine getting driving lessons from anyone else. They not only have lessons for drivers of all ages but also support drivers with anxiety or special needs. Their simulators are top notch, they have a parent class and an optional high risk simulation class The staff is amazing and supportive. Students may graduate their program when they are deemed competent drivers.

Their 1.5 hour road test really evaluates a students readiness to get their driver's license. It is well worth the investment to make sure your loved ones have the best chance on the road. We are so grateful to them.

I've had 2 students go through the Driving MBA program and we were very satisfied both times. Excellent instructors, thorough feedback and complete skills teaching. While costly, we feel it is a high quality program worth the price.

I had two sons in the Driving MBA program and I couldn't be more pleased. I believe my teenagers have been given the skills they need to be safe and conscientious drivers on the road! I highly recommend this program for students AND parents (the parent course was a terrific refresher for me).

This school has so much more to offer than any other school in the valley. My oldest daughter attended and is a fantastic driver. My second daughter will be starting soon. Yes, it's more expensive but hard to put a price on safety. Wish you still had the Gilbert location!

Driving is dangerous. Handing car keys over to your teen before they are really ready for the responsibility to get behind the wheel could have very dire consequences. If you love your son or daughter and want them to be as prepared as possible to be a competent driver this is driving school to choose. If you're considering a driving school and your goal [as the parent] is to find a driving school that will teach your teen to drive, in as little time as possible, with as little involvement from you as possible, move along and choose another driving school. Driving MBA doesn't run their business that way.

As the parent of the teen driver, should you choose Driving MBA, you will be required to be involved in the process of helping your teen with practice drive time (approx 100 hours) and reinforce what Driving MBA is teaching your teen about safe driving practices. Driving MBA in my opinion is top notch. They take the role they have in helping teens become responsible drivers very seriously.

Their goal is to teach drivers the rules of the road and to be competent, as well as, learn to drive defensively to avoid accidents and handle unexpected situations that could put the life of your teen and/or others at risk. The owner and the instructors at Driving MBA have a passion for teaching your teen to be as safe as possible when they are behind the wheel.

As the parent of two teen drivers, I don't take the responsibility of allowing my teens to driving lightly, and I'm thankful that this driving school doesn't either. Driving MBA expects parents to be engaged, and they expect parents to spend a lot of time with their teens driving (approx 20 hours between each lesson they give your teen).

Why so many hours behind the wheel with you before your teen takes their road test? Because ultimately you are the parent and it is your job to teach your child to be a safe driver. There is no replacement for for your teen to have real hours of experience behind the wheel with you assisting your teen driver and evaluating their progress before you allow them to take their road test at the MVD. Driving MBA is a support system in the process of helping your child learning to drive, but ultimately this is your teen learning to drive and you the parent are the one responsible for them being the best possible driver on the road.

Absolutely horrendous cancellation policies. My son broke his foot, we canceled as soon as it happened and they still charged me $75.00 for a cancellation fee. So disgusting that a business owner would do that over a health issue. Poorest customer service I have ever seen.

I really feel the training my son received at Driving MBA was very beneficial and definitely prepared him to drive safely in our community. I feel confident he was given the tools to be a safe, confident, and defensive driver. I enrolled him in all the classes they offered as well as took him driving as much as I could when he had his permit. I will definitely enroll our other son in Driving MBA when he is old enough.

Horrible Our instructor must have been new not even listed on website After $1500+ failed my daughter and we have had to so all the instruction. Final drive instructor talked the whole time and distracted my daughter. Now we have to do dmv all again which is why we paid for "professionals" Waste of time & money!

Really disappointed. First quoted a rate of $130 for a single session with a specific instructor and after completing a large number of forms, upped the price for the same service to $200. PRICE GAUGING! REALLY DISAPPOINTED! Thus is inpite of having used them in the past!

Very thorough, comprehensive and top notch program. Extremely satisfied! Highly recommend to anyone and everyone! Yes, it's pricier than others but if you want your teen (or any loved one learning to drive) to be the absolute safest driver, this is the only school you should consider. Worth every penny for peace of mind that your teen is getting the best training around. All driving schools should be like MBA!

I would highly recommend this school to anyone. My son was a very nervous driver because he had a bad experience when he first started learning to drive. At one point he said he just didn't want to learn to drive, he even walked to school for months when the vehicle we bought him sat in the driveway because he was so nervous. I hired Driving MBA to come out and attempt to get him past his fear. Angel was AMAZING!

He completely turned my son around and helped build his confidence. He passed the driving test and I am happy to say he no longer walks to school and is cruising around town like a normal teenager! Thank you Angel!

My daughter just completed her training with DrivingMBA and passed her road test with flying colors. She now has her driver's license : After putting in about 100 hours of practice behind the wheel and with the training that she received with DrivingMBA, I feel very comfortable to have my daughter behind the wheel of a vehicle and I know that she will be a safe driver.

She has learned the skills that are making her a very good driver. I think that DrivingMBA has the most complete driver training program in Arizona and I highly recommend them. JuanG, proud dad of Angelica.

Both of our daughters took the course and benefited greatly. I believe that my husband and I also gleaned a lot of benefit from their training, especially how to be a better ride-a-long parent and ways to improve the safety of our own driving. The instructors really care about having a new *safe* driver on the road and are willing to go the pace of the student. They have instructors that can be especially mindful of the issues facing anxious drivers so that is a plus.

I have had two teenage drivers go through Driving MBA, highly recommend them! I thought one daughter would never make it out of our track, but they were amazing. The driving simulators, coaching and defensive driving, invaluable! Both teenagers are now confident driver. I've seen them navigate through some accident-worthy instances, I credit Driving MBA with those skills and confidence. Thank you!

Left three messages for them to call me back to enroll my daughters with no return call. guess they don't need the business

I have also posted a review of this business at the Gilbert location (my daughter attended sessions at both). For more details, see review at that location. Pros: Comprehensive program with classroom instruction, simulators, and on-road instruction with excellent instructors. Cons: Poor administration and customer service skills. A lot of "scare" tactics about how dangerous driving is--depending on your child's personality, this can be good or bad. By the end of this program, my daughter hated driving. We are trying another driving program now to help her gain the confidence she needs.
