Pro Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I just passed my G2! And it’s all thanks to Alex. He’s a really great teacher, very patient and has a great way of explaining how to go about the drive tests- I highly recommend him as your next driving instructor.
Fantastic experience: Pro driving school is the best especially Alex! I passed my G2 Road test on my first try with Alex as my instructor! Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Mladjen from Pro Driving School. He is thoroughly professional, patient, punctual, and shares valuable lessons on road safety. Cleared G2 with ease thanks to him. Highly recommend him for an amazing experience.
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was my driving instructor, great guy!!! As an international student, first time driving in Canada, and I passed my G2 test with only 5 hours of Training. Would definitely recommend him, he’s an amazing instructor!
Fantastic experience: Matilda from Pro driving school was very professional, punctual, and efficient in driving sessions, I really recommend her.
Fantastic experience: Amazing staff! Amazing location! Best driving school in the city for sure!
Fantastic experience: I took the course going for my G2, now have my G just a year later passing each test first try! If you get Matilda as an instructor just know you’re in very good hands, she may be tough on you but that’s cause she wants you to succeed on your road test, don’t worry she’s very easy to get along with! Teaches very well & easy to under her teaching style! Overall very good experience & highly recommend to new/inexperienced drivers!! - Jason
Fantastic experience: Great school that teaches all the basics the 10 hour of driving lessons is very effective as it focuses on key aspects to ensure you are ready by the end of the 10 hours. I had Alecx as my driver instructor and he was very easy going but also a very good teacher cannot recommend enough
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience learning to drive with Mladjen. He was very patient, calm and professional. He made learning how to drive comfortable. I’m very pleased with their services and would recommend to anyone. I am very happy I was able to pass my test and get my G2.
Fantastic experience: Alex was amazing as a driving instructor! Got me from 0 driving experience to passing on the first try with ease. I would recommend pro driving school to get you to ready for the road.
Fantastic experience: He did it! After almost 20 years of anxiety of going to get my licence Alex taught me how to drive! He was calm, kind and extremely patient as he taught me. Alex is wonderful! I have had many people try to teach me and Alex did it with extreme professionalism! If you want to get your license I highly recommend pro driving school and ask for Alex! I can not be more thankful for Alex’s lessons, I’ve now been driving for two weeks and I can still hear him as I merge “ signal mirror blind spot.”Thank you Alex for giving me the courage and confidence to pass my g2!!!!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Alex! He's calm, patient and respectful. Passed my G2 test with his guidance, and would recommend him and Pro Driving School to anyone looking to do road tests.
Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Pro Driving school! I had a great experience with Aleksa and Jovan. I just passed my G2 driving test this afternoon! I started taking my driving lessons 10 days ago. They were really understanding about my upcoming G1 expiry date and were able to accommodate my lessons on short notice. Aleksa has spent a lot of time over the last week and a half getting me up to speed on what I needed to learn for the test. He's a great instructor! He was very calm and very easy to work with. I started off the lessons feeling very nervous, but after the 13 hours of in-car training with Aleksa, I am now very confident with my own driving. Thank you!! It was a pleasure. :)
Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Pro Driving school to anyone who wishes to learn to drive inorder to pass his/ her drive test. I have had the opportunity to work with instructor Alex. He did an excellent job. He was very calm, respectful and very eager for me to learn and understand the requirements for safety on the road when driving and also to pass my test. Great job , Alex!!! Keep it up!!!
Fantastic experience: Helped me pass my G2 test, driving instructor was Alex, would recommend.
Negative experience: I was driving on Weber and saw a driving school car driving slowly on the left lane for a long time before turning left. This made faster cars have to pass them to continue driving at their desired speed on the left lane. Please teach your students that the left lane is a passing lane and the right lane is for slower and speed limit driving. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I passed my G2 on my first try thanks to Zamir's patient teaching. I highly recommend him as an instructor. I was really nervous learning how to drive and had 0 experience before this course and Zamir really made me feel looked after and helped really build my confidence as a driver. I felt that I was in really good hands. Thanks Zamir!
Fantastic experience: good instructor and teacher
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended Zamir. Was a great experience.
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Matilda if you are a nervous driver like I was! She gave me so much useful advice to drive safely and professionally so that I passed my G test with a strict(kinda) examiner!
Fantastic experience: I would recommend this place. My instructor was Matilda and she gave me proper constructive feedback to improve my driving skills.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Zamir. He was amazing! He explained everything in a very simple and easy way to understand and I was able to successfully pass my road test! He was so nice and such a fun guy to talk to while in the car. I would 100% recommend him to anyone else wanting to learn how to drive!
Fantastic experience: I took both my G2 and G test with Matilda. She is the best and helped me pass both tests with ease. Highly recommend taking driving lessons with her!
Fantastic experience: I used the Pro Driving School for taking driving lessons before giving my G test. I was a nervous driver and a previous instructor (not at Pro) always kept shouting at me for small mistakes and I completely lost my confidence. Then I switched to Pro Driving school where my driving instructor (Mladjen) was very patient with me and extremely friendly. Each lesson with him kept increasing my confidence behind the wheel. Even when I made potentially major mistakes, Mladjen would gently correct it (and would not shout at me like my previous instructor). Mladjen was never tired of repeating the necessary instructions multiple times until I do not make the same mistake again. He was always extremely punctual and very organized with his calendar. He is highly dedicated and goes out of his way to help you. Try to get him as your instructor especially if you have issues with road fear and nervousness as I did. I was about to give up on driving, but recently I passed my G test. This would have never happened without Mladjen. My heartfelt thanks to both Pro Driving School and Mladjen.
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor, Mladjen, was very helpful. He guided me throughout the entire process and was very polite when correcting my mistakes. I would definitely recommend PRO driving school to anyone learning to drive.
Fantastic experience: Still doing my hours and I am very satisfied. I 100% would promote this driving school to all my friends.
Fantastic experience: Had Zamir as my instructor, great instructor! He was patient with me, never raised his voice. Clear instructions and lessons, had me ready for my G2 by the end of my time with him. Flexible with time too, I went with his usual 2 hour sessions but you can ask to do less time per session.
Negative experience: Had a very bad experience with Zamir. His teaching technique is not great especially if you're a new driver as he rushes through the steps of parallel parking. three point turns etc. without giving you sufficient practice. He became overly defensive and short tempered when asked to slow down. The whole experience was horrible with him constantly muttering insults as I drove. Also be careful of him charging you higher rates in fees as compared to the official rates on the school site. It's ridiculous that he so blatantly tries to swindle students with a much higher fine for late cancellations of classes, change of test locations etc. Was very disappointed with the experience overall. Signed up for the package given the good reviews for the school but was extremely disappointed that I wasted money on their package with no real results to show for it.
Fantastic experience: I had Mladjen as my instructor and he was amazing He was very patient and excellent at teaching
Fantastic experience: I had Mladjen as my instructor and he was absolutely fantastic! Patient, professional, knowledgeable and above all, extremely kind. I passed the G2 on the first time thanks to him, I cannot recommend him (and by extension, this school) enough.
Fantastic experience: Ask for Zamir. He is one of the best. He teaches so patiently, gives you a lot of tips on how to drive safely. His focus is not only drivetest but everyday driving too. He is very professional in terms of scheduling the class, reminding you the timing and arriving on time.
Fantastic experience: Zamir was an excellent instructor, always very patient and knowledgeable, and was able to teach such a large amount of information in a way that very easy to understand. The price is very reasonable as well, and the only issues I had was with the website to do the knowledge training on was buggy at times, but issues were resolved. I passed my g2, so what more can I say?
Fantastic experience: Mladjen is great instructor, knowledgeable, and knows how to correct your weakness easily. Very nice to talk to as well! Made the lesson fun and prepared me well for the driving test. Will 100% go back to Mladjen if I ever need more lessons or a friend wants to learn how to drive!
Fantastic experience: I had Mladjen as an instructor, he was very knowledgeable and flexible with his schedule. No issues passing, and the price is very reasonable. I have recommended this to my friends
Fantastic experience: Great driving school in waterloo. I passed my road test in first attempt. Thanks to my instructor Zamir who is very patient, knowledgeable, nice and caring. He always reached before time for the car lessons and helped me to focus and address my driving errors with utter calmness.
Negative experience: A Pro Driving School instructor in his car, no student present, decided to read his cell phone at a red light, holding up traffic for the entire cycle of the green light except for the one car that was in front of him when that red light turned green. Not a great example for potential students. This was yesterday afternoon at Westmount and Northfield. :-(
Fantastic experience: I had a 1 hour lesson with Mladjen over a year ago in preparation for my G2 road test. I have since completed both my G2 road test and my G road test (both on my first attempt) thanks in part to Mladjen. I am grateful for Mladjen's patience and teaching aptitude.
Fantastic experience: I had severe anxiety with driving - Mladjen was very patient with me, took it a step at a time and never made me do anything I was uncomfortable with. He was very accommodating and knowledgeable I would definitely recommend! ...also I passed, so that's a huge plus :)!
Fantastic experience: Had a very good experience with Pro Driving School Waterloo! Mladjen was very patient with me over the course of my 10 lessons and made the road test a mere formality. Highly recommend him, and the centre in general!
Fantastic experience: Mladjen is a perfect driving instructor!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely incredible driving instructor named Mladjen, if you get him, you'll be passing your road test easily. Nicest guy, and an absolutely thorough and safe instructor. This is the place to go if you want to pass your road test and be safe on the road.
Fantastic experience: I had great and really accommodating instructors! They were very supportive and helpful in learning how to drive, and it wasn’t stressful even though I had a fear of driving. I was able to pass my G2 test on the first try, so I’m quite thankful!
Fantastic experience: Mladjen is a great instructor
Fantastic experience: Best driving school and Mladjen is a great instructor I believe.
Fantastic experience: honesty cannot complain about any part of my time here. although a slightly confined space for in class lessons the teacher was very accommodating and very well engaged. Great guy who went through very thoroughly all of the content. When it came to the in car lessons my instructor Maldjen was amazing. Nice, caring. he corrects you on every mistake you may make and even taught me the tenancies and common things about other drivers. always on time, and always contactable via text. had a great experience and recommend for new drivers
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was a very good instructor for my G test, was always very calm and constructive! Would highly recommend him!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing instructor (Mladjen). Very patient and gave concise and clear instruction. Did many lessons with him in preparation for my G license and could not suggest a better driving instructor! Highly recommend :)
Fantastic experience: I have been driving for many years, but felt I needed some "refresher" lessons in order to negotiate the increasingly busy K-W traffic, including unexpected lane changes, mergers, bike lanes and the rules of roundabouts. I believe that I am extremely fortunate to to have been assigned Matilda as my instructor. She is a true professional, with a relaxed presence that she combines with a vigilant focus on the traffic and timely, clear and concise directions for the learner. She handles the inevitable mistake with genuine empathy, while at the same time providing constructive advice on how to avoid such in the future. As a result, after only two lessons, my confidence in driving has increased considerably. I would recommend her most highly
Fantastic experience: Very safe, friendly, but will catch you on every mistake. Always on time, and they text you reminders. I never drove outside of pro driving and within 2 years and under 15 lessons I got my full g license. Mladjen is the best!
Fantastic experience: Mladjen is a very good driving teacher. He is patient, very professional and arrived to every single class on time. He not only explains the rules and technicalities of driving but also the reasoning behind the rules. He is observant and can point out to mistakes you can make, why you made them and teaches you techniques on how to avoid them. This helps first time drivers to learn the correct driving methods and helped me clear my G2 driving test in my first attempt. I would recommend Mladjen especially to anyone who is learning to drive for the first time.
Fantastic experience: I took lessons from Mladjen and I would recommend him to anyone I know. He was always willing to work around my schedule, he helped me so much I can’t thank him enough! If you can request someone I definitely recommend to ask for him!!
Positive experience: I enjoyed my my experience with Malden. He was very down to earth and calm. I ended up getting my g2 on my first attempt.
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor. Mladjen was my instructor and he was very nice and friendly. I would 100% recommend anyone who would like to take there drivers test and needing a instructor.
Fantastic experience: I've been taking lessons with Mladjen to prepare for my G2 road test. He was on time for every lesson and he really takes his time making sure you understand what you're doing. He is also very patient with his students and made me feel very calm while driving. I recently just passed my G2 road test and I would definitely recommend Mladjen!
Fantastic experience: It is a very good experience to take driving classes with Mladjen. He is very patient and helpful. And I passes G2 at the first time.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with Pro Driving School and especially Mladjen who assured me every step of the way. He made me feel confident and ready for the test from the beginning and I passed on my first try. I definitely recommend Mladjen to anyone, especially people who've never sat behind a wheel before like me. I will definitely be going back for my G test with Mladjen and Pro Driving school next year!
Fantastic experience: Had a very good experience taking driving lessons Mladjen. He was very accommodating with scheduling driving lessons and taught the fundamentals of defensive driving very well.
Fantastic experience: Very good experience !! Mladjen was a great instructor, very patient, and makes sure you are doing things right and you know the rules. Would recommend taking lessons.
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Mladjen I passed my G2 test.
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was a great instructor! Super helpful and passed the test first try - highly recommended
Fantastic experience: Mladjen is a great driving instructor. He's super reassuring and helped me correct a lot of the bad habits that I picked up before from other instructors. During the road test all of Mladjen's advice helped me to keep calm and pass. Thanks Mladjen!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Pro Driving school. My instructor was extremely patient and kind, he was also available for lessons at convenient times for me. I passed my full G test on my first attempt thanks to Mladjen.
Fantastic experience: I took "G" 5 hrs Package. My instructor was JOVAN. He is really good. He knows exactly what matters for the road test (All the routes, small small things). Sometime he may get angry on you if u repeat the same mistake but he explains everything in very detail. His car is little old so be aware of that. But for road test having old car is good because as u accelerate it will not quickly go up in speed (Easy to mange speed).Otherwise his car is in a perfect condition. This was my straight G from G1 as I had the past experience in my home country. I passed it on my first attempt. Thanks Jovan !
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was a pretty great instructor! I passed my test, not bad overall
Fantastic experience: The best instructor. Find MATILDA She lead me to pass G at one. She knows how prepare the students I would not make it if she wasnt my instructor. I didnt make my job, she made it. Thank you so much Matilda!!!!!
Fantastic experience: The in-class portion was good, but Zamir is the main reason why I'm giving 5 stars. Dude is a great driving instructor! I was super inexperienced and nervous when I started out, but I'm much more comfortable on the road thanks to him. He's informative, patient, observant, and very considerate to his students. He knows how to help you fix your mistakes and keep you both safe the whole time. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who's looking for a teacher.
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was a great instructor! His instructions were very clear. Overall, prepared me very well for my G1 and G2 tests. He taught me to also be confident when driving and was always diligent when I was driving to make sure I was doing a good job. He was always available and would work with my schedule to accommodate me as best as possible. Overall, great experience!
Fantastic experience: Great experience from instructor Mladjen!!!. Recommend!!! Patience, super nice and professional!!! I recommend prodriving school and this instructor!!
Fantastic experience: Mladjen was a great instructor. I chose to take lessons with him after not passing my first test. After the 10 hours with him, I was able to pass and get my G2. He pointed out what I may have done wrong in my first test. He is very professional, responsible and is very calm in different situations.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. Easy to work with and my daughter was well prepared for the test. Ilie took care of all the details for booking the drivers test.
Negative experience: Mladjen was my instructor, and I had an unpleasant experience overall with him. He was very harsh. And he gave me wrong instructions once and later refused to acknowledge that he had done so. I failed the G2 test despite 3 practice sessions with him, and he was not patient with me. He was quite short tempered. I do not recommend this driving school. For my next Road test, I asked them to schedule with another instructor. The other instructor called only one evening before my test to confirm the appointment - too late for me to wait for this. I had already booked with someone else. This driving school is unprofessional and they are not prompt or proactive in serving potential customers
Fantastic experience: Great instructors both for in-class and in-car. Also it was great timing to get it done as instructors relatively have more time slots available in winter time. Quick responses and kind instructors. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Has amazing experience with Matilda! Passed both G2 and full G from first attempt. Would recommend to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Yasser was a awesome instructor. Very friendly personal guy. Made my driving experience Great as I could talk to him like he was a friend and not a instructor. Making my experience worth while and passed my g2 first try. Would definitely recommend Yasser as a instructor
Negative experience: I would give less stars if i could. Pro driving school is not only ignorant but also incompetent. I called the office after seeing one of their cars with student and instructor speeding through a school zone and increasing speed at the end of the school zone in order to keep speeding. This was while students were leaving the school! When i called i was told i was wrong. Then i was hung up on and repeatedly ignored after when i tried to regain contact. Voicemails went unanswered.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school ever! I passed all my three class driving tests with Matilda and she is the best!
Fantastic experience: 2 years ago, I took my G2 lessons with Matilda and we practiced around the test center to get familiar with the roads. She was very nice and patient. She knows my mistakes and correct them so that I don't make them again. I passed my G2 on my first try. Today, I just passed my G test on my first try. I took 5 lessons and it was all it needs for me to get enough practice on the highway and pass the test. I learned a lot. Thank you again to Matilda and Pro Driving School.
Negative experience: Below is the first edit after i got the response from this school. *** To the school. Instructor number last 4 digits -5039. And you do not need to ask me all those questions. I took the course in your school, have instructors full cell number, and don't mind to post that and my receipt and everything else if u want :) What makes you think I would like to talk to you, when you "believe i am from another school". And what makes you think I would like to provide u my real name and once u know that u know my address and everything. I am not writing this review for you, I am writing it for all ur future potential customers to let them know more info about this school b4 they actually pay for the course. *** Not recommended Shawn, not responsible. Didn't teach very well, in-car hrs package not efficient and helpful for me. I spent a lot extra hrs with my friends who have cars, and learnt the skills to pass the test! INSTRUCTOR FORCED ME TO PAY FOR EXTRA 4 COURSES (BARGAINED, BUT I STILL PAID PARTIALLY), OTHERWISE REFUSED TO LET ME USE THE CAR FOR G2 ROAD TEST (WHCIH IS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE AND I ALREADY PAID FOR)!!! Instructor should not have the right to do this. Also instructor needs to let drivers think, and handle situations by themselves, instead of simply telling them what to do, otherwise its totally useless. Shawn did a rly terrible job on this!! 0.0001 out of 10. True story Try to avoid him if u can maybe his good and helpful for some new drivers but definitely not me :)
Dear Ji Pipi, we are very sorry to hear that you had a very bad experience with one of the instructor called Shawn. We DO NOT have any instructor with this name and also we searched in our records and we don't have your name. We believe you were with a different school. It will be great if can talk, please do not hesitate to call us at 519-954-8541 or call/text 519-998-2481, we really want to hear from you.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pro Driving School and instructor Matilda. I took 1.5 hr class with her to prepare for my road test and got my G license on the first try. I had 20 years of driving experience in Brazil and had to adjust/learn very particular aspects of the test in Canada. Matilda masters all the nuances of the test and gives thoughtful insights into how to tackle it. If you have the chance, take classes with Matilda.
Fantastic experience: You are not gonna regret .
Fantastic experience: I recommend this driving school for everyone. Unfortunately before I know about this school, I went to another driving school, which I didn't like their teaching methods. But one of my friends introduced Mr. Elvern (instructor) to me and we just practiced for some hours which was very useful for me. I passed the test and got G2. I recommended this driving school to my wife and son. Thanks Elvern and Pro Driving School.
Negative experience: If possible, AVOID this driving school, I went to this driving school in early 2016, and am just now finding the right words to describe my distaste to this company. During the "20 hours" of class we had to do (I put 20 hours in quotations as I think my class got maybe 15 hours of in class lessons due to the teacher having to leave an hour after class started one day.. and never making the missed class time up) we spent most of the time watching Facebook dash-cam videos, or listening to the teacher bash how women drive -- when the class was mostly female. The teacher could barely speak English and had a VERY heavy accident making it nearly impossible to understand what he was saying sometimes. The only reason this in class time was decent was the Tim Hortons across the street. The ten hours of driving is a completely different story, my instructor never cancelled any appointments, she was never late, a complaint I've seen a lot, which I don't understand how, my instructor came to the high school I was attending at the time to pic me up after school, knowing the time that my school was over, I agreed to meet 20 minutes afterward so I was not rushed out of class, and didn't have to deal with after school high schoolers, my instructor knowing this would arrive 30 minutes early to our pick up location and be upset when I wouldn't be outside immediately, besides that, my instructor was very heavy on her brake, causing us to stop in the middle of flowing traffic for no reason - REALLY quickly - when learning how to go through roundabout's and going on and off the express way my instructor would grab the steering wheel and hold it so I couldn't move it unless she was - meaning I had no control of the car - She was good about bringing me around the drive test practice area, but on our final practice when she was suppose to test me she constantly laughed at me and put me down on every error I made asking me "what the heck is wrong with your head?" causing me to have to pull over (making a proper roadside stop facing downhill) and have an anxiety attack, that she laughed about and told me to continue driving. When I finished my classes it was late May, I was unable to take my G2 test until early September, meaning I had 3 months between my final "practice" and my test - this was due to her being busy in the summer... I was left on my own to book my appointment for my G2 with no instructions on how to do that. Truly, this school is not worth the time and energy, there are schools around KW for around the same cost that gives a better education and cars about the driver. I honestly get nervous driving around a Pro Drivers car when on the streets around here.
Fantastic experience: We totaly recommend this driving school. My husband and I passed the exam from the first time. We just did a few hours with an amazing, patiant instructor: Matilda. Thank you for everything! Alina and Lucian
Negative experience: The guy who gave me his contact number to set up some driving lessons never answered my calls.
Negative experience: I do not recommend this driving school to anyone as I almost got t boned in a parking lot by the driver and it wasn't a pupil . First she tried to blame me then realized she was driving too fast and it was her that should have stopped then did the stupid holding her hands up and saying sorry.
Fantastic experience: Best place to get driving school lessons at. Ask for Zamir as he'll give you the best tips on how to drive safely and he's really chill to talk to. He is also understanding of your uni life and can fit into your busy class schedule.
Negative experience: I would NOT recommend this driving school, and DO NOT get their Premium Package!(10-hr driving+20-hr in class). I paid for my package and took the 20hr in class in June and ended up finishing my 10hr driving by end of October! The instructor either ignore my text message or said that he was too busy. I know that it's a busy time for them but it's really unreasonable for me to wait for 4 months in order to have my driving lesson completed. Also, I texted the instructor saying that I really needed to complete the 10-hr driving since I wanted to get my G2 in October, and when I finally could have my second driving class by the end of September, the instructor said, "Wow are you telling me that you wanna get your G2 by October when you drive like that? I don't think so." It really blew my mind that he would say that when he was the one who "claimed" that he was too busy and wouldn't take me to drive. lol Also, he didn't take me to practise near the driving test centre. Stay away from this driving school, you can get better options. I want to add on that, after I commented, my instructor sent me a passive aggressive text message (the first time that he responded to me that quickly!) I really had a bad experience with them.
Hello Kathleen, We apologize for answering a week later but we had to talk with the instructors and we had to look in to your file. We understand you are complaining about the time you had to wait for an instructor. Your first appointment was on July 18 (1 hour) the second one was August 10 (1 hour) September 29 (1.5 hour) October 8 (2 hour), October 15 (1,5 hour) October 17(1,5 hour), October 21(1,5 hour ). There is a gap between August 10 and September 29. We give you the policy, and we ask you to call the school if you have any complain. If we would knew about, more likely we will speed up the process, especially you wanted to have the road test by October. We understand that you passed the road test, congratulation for that. The instructor over reacted with those words on your second driving lesson, we apologize for that. We also had the chance to see the text messages between you and him after you posted the review, the communication wasn't passive aggressive, but if you feel that way, again we apologize. About practising around the drive test area, the Drive Test centre, doesn't allow driving schools to practise there, and the truth is, students needs to know how to drive, they don't have to know the routes. We thank you for your review, we love to hear about the students impression, this is the only way we can improve to make our school a better one. Be safe on the road. Pro Driving School team.
Fantastic experience: Outstanding service from this school. Instructors pay attention to your driving and recommend personalized tips and training that fixes bad driving habits. Passed my G2 on the first try
Fantastic experience: Great experience, the instructors are very professional and experienced. I passed my G2 test at the first try. Thank you Pro driving school, I couldn't have done it without your help.
Negative experience: I was so impressed with my driving instructor and how quickly she worked with me to get me ready for my g2. But the instructors at this office misinform the students they are instructing in terms of the g2. They knew I would pass the test and still not have enough time between my g2 and g to properly get my license and still took my money and told me that I would get a renewal notice in the mail and have another few years extended. In fact they were wrong and I have to start my license from square one, so thanks for taking my money!
Hello Sarah, According to MTO rules, you are not eligible to go for the G road test unless you completed the 1 year waiting time from the day you passed the G2. Your driver license its valid only for 5 years, in this time you must go through the graduated licensing system. But if you didn't pas the g2 only on your fifth year they will renew your G2 license for another 5 year, because you don't have the 1 year mandatory waiting time to apply for your G license. In order to renew your license, you must visit the Drive test centre and there is a fee that you have to pay, its the licensing fee. More likely you missed that info. we did explain this to you. Also on the first page of the Driver Handbook its says ,, Driving its a privilege, not a right" which it means its your responsibility to keep your licence current, by watching the expiry date and do what you are supposed to do. MTO also will send a letter to remind you if your license its about to expire, as long as you provide your current address. Pro Driving school team.
Fantastic experience: Liked it. The best driving school in Waterloo.
Fantastic experience: Great experience, scheduling the lesson times/dates were never a hassle. I had 5 lessons with Annie. She was a fantastic teacher, patient, and always told you exactly what you needed to do to improve. When I took the g1 exit road test I passed with only 1 minor mistake.
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend this driving school for anyone who is trying to get their license. I had prior experience driving and was aiming to get my G license within a month. My instructor was very patient, attentive and very approachable with any questions I had. The $280 package was more than sufficient enough for my needs as it included the car and 3 lessons on the highway as well as refreshing any skills I needed. I remember during the driving test my instructor assured me that this was the first and LAST time I would be doing the G test. I eventually PASSED with flying colors!
Negative experience: I have two other children that require drivers education and I will not be sending them here. It is ok for drivers to cancel but not students. My daughter cancelled with notice as I was standing right there when she did it. They said they never received it and charged her first $40 and then $80. After this incident they were supposed to change instructors and they did not. They are all difficult to understand as they have thick accents. All in all a terrible experience. Save yourself the headache. Find another school!!!!!!!!
Negative experience: Not worth the money. They are nothing special and they charge too much if you need extra lessons. Much better options out there.
Fantastic experience: I went to Pro Driving School to learn how to drive and then again to prepare for my G road test. I passed both my tests thanks to Matilda's great instruction. She is very patient and gives good detailed advice. She helped me feel prepared and confident for the test and has taught me the fundamental skills to be a good driver.
Negative experience: Unfortunately I can't speak for the quality of instruction, as I was never able to book an appointment. I tried to book a lesson for 2 weeks before giving up and going with a different school. For the first few days I expected to get a phone call from the number they have online - the same number I called. I get a lot of telemarketing calls, so unless I recognize a number I don't answer. After a few days I called back and explained this and specifically requested the instructor text me. Four days later I still hadn't received any texts from them. My phone rang, and I answered thinking they must have ignored my request. Sure enough it was the instructor. They couldn't book me for the times I said I was available a week ago, and asked if i was available mornings, or that friday. I told them I was completely unavailable that friday, but would look at my schedule and let them know when I could do a morning lesson. The next day I texted them the availability they asked for, like I said I would. They asked again if I could do the friday I just told them I absolutely could not do. When I again said no, I could not do that day, they stopped responding. A few days later, beyond frustrated, I had enough, and booked an appointment with dominion driving school very quickly without any problems. I emailed Pro Driving School, politely letting them know why they had lost my business, but they still never responded! I am extremely disappointed with their lack of customer service, they should have apologized, or at the very, very least acknowledged me. Had they done so I would have been happy with how they handled the situation and not given them a bad review.
Fantastic experience: Best ever driving school in KW area, Wort for the money what we pay for. Based on few friend’s references, I contacted the Pro driving school- Matilda, I too only 4 classes from her, And they were really very good in teaching us. I really found a major difference between the two schools. Their positive encouragement was really a boost and ended up clearing the exam in the immediate attempt I will greatly recommend the PRO driving school to any new driver’s. Please don’t fall in to the assurance school based on the cheapest price, which I did. intially i went to the diving school which is near charles terminal, which was worst in all aspect. But PRO is really professinal driving school.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff and really fair price for driving lessons. I called all driving schools in KW and chose this school because of price and school's location.
Fantastic experience: Exceptional instruction. Annie's mastery of the road is very impressive. Her style is precise yet friendly and approachable. I felt that every minute of the lesson is focused and well-spent. Annie told me exactly which points to stress and where to pay attention -- excellent preparation for the full G road test. Thanks to her instruction, I was able to pass with flying colors. :)
