Young Drivers of Canada

Fantastic experience: Great instruction from Robert Jeffers and Nicole MacDonald - G2 at first attempt - Thank you - LS

Fantastic experience: I was a student of young drivers for a period of two years. Nicole was absolutely amazing, incredibly supportive and encouraging. Learned so many important maneuvers and felt more than prepared for my road test. Thanks so much for the great head start on my driving journey.

Fantastic experience: After a long time of practice and dedication I got my G2 with the help of Young Drivers! I cannot recommend Nicole enough. I originally did my drivers ed a handful of years ago and never finished my G2. Booked lessons with Nicole to get back up to speed and she was patient, kind and encouraging towards me and gave extremely useful advice throughout my lessons. Definitely worth the money!

Fantastic experience: Definitely would recommended, worked with Brian and in the end Nicole to finish off my YD. Amazing experience, learned a lot and definitely would recommend to any future drivers as it gives you so many useful safety guides to follow on the road and some starting experience for roads you can’t practice on until you have your G2. Once again highly recommend to anyone who’s unsure, worth every penny.

Fantastic experience: Young Drivers of Canada is a great avenue to receive the proper and safe instruction and education in becoming a defensive driver! The instructors truly care about the success of their students! They are kind, friendly, polite, professional, accommodating and very knowledgeable! Nicole and Brent are the best!!!

Fantastic experience: Worked with both Brent and Nicole - everybody was very kind and easy to get comfortable with which made learning easy, and passed the G2 on the first try! Very thankful to have had such a good experience

Positive experience: My daughter went through the in car lessons with Nicole, who was very patient with her. We would request her again with our younger daughter. However, the online course takes much more time than if they were in person.

Fantastic experience: I have been with young drivers for a while now, I took my g2 in oshawa ontairo did my G in peterbourgh ontairo. I worked with 2 amazing people that I met and gave me lessons. they were both very friendly and did a verry good and through job training me. I learned all the basics of driving and soo much more, including diffrent strategies and defensive maneuvers. I rate 5 out of 5 because i have learned how to use alot of skills and to be safe. they say you get what you pay for and this is the reason why young drivers is more expensive that some of the other driving schools out there

Negative experience: The online component of this training is the worst. Extremely slow, does not always save progress, and frequent log in issues. Either go somewhere else or wait till in class lessons can resume

Negative experience: My daughter is trying to get through the painful online course. It is brutally slow. It is supposed to be a 30 hr course but I'm not exaggerating when I say this will take triple the time. It's insane! I would not recommend anyone take the online course. Each page takes minutes to load, and there is very little information per page, so all your time is spent waiting. Also, it's not easy to get a hold of anyone. I have called and left many messages that do not get returned. Not impressed at all. I wish I could get my money back.

Fantastic experience: Good quality lessons. My instructor was very nice and taught me well.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors, friendly, learned lots. Got 100% on my g2.

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend Young Drivers enough. It is completely worth it! The skills you learn will help you feel safe on the road and could save your life.

Negative experience: Terrible, terrible experience. Absolutely no customer service. Next to impossible to contact anyone from the bowmanville franchise. Strange how when I contacted the Whitby franchise to complain the bowmanville branch returned my calls that day after weeks of waiting and leaving messages. If someone who is a district manager of sorts or a part of head office is reading this I STRONGLY urge you to look into how this branch is representing your franchise. I would not wish this process on my worst enemy it has been one of the worst experiences ever. Can not emphasize more my dissatisfaction and disappointment with this branch. Also I believe I had same instructor others have complained about because I dealt with the exact same issues (horn and brake hovering paranoia, paid extra for snow and ice and was a rip-off, etc) Save your money for another school as there are plenty around, do not waste your time with these fools.

Fantastic experience: Mikes a g and so is Jody those guys are the best instructors

Negative experience: Unfortunately our experience with YD Bowmanville was not great. My daughter had to go through 3 different Teachers (1 quit, 1 went on medical leave) of which all taught differently. The 2nd Teacher redid the 1st teachers lessons. Last teacher made my daughter paranoid while driving, really focused on horn and brake hovering, marked her down so often for not hovering enough that it became all she could think about while driving. We could not get any day appointments out of Bowmanville so almost all lessons were in the dark. We paid the extra for snow\ice\gravel and that turned out to be all verbal teaching. The highway driving consisted of one time only and went only one exit and off. This is unfortunate as this is the only time they are allowed on 401. I don't want it to sound all bad, she definitely did learn, got driving experience in, her parallel parking is awesome and the road test was quick, all of 5 minutes. We also got a 13% discount on her insurance.

Fantastic experience: Definitely worth the money, my sons instructor was very kind and patient. I am so glad we went through young drivers. I like how you have to do the work on the computer before starting the class and in car.

Fantastic experience: John Dinnick is a young drivers legend, sadly he's retiring on the 28th of September, while having many lessons, I never had so much fun learning to become a SAFE, RELIABLE, YOUNG DRIVER.

Fantastic experience: As a parent I was very impressed with my daughter's training. My son went to a cheaper place and got nothing for the money paid. His instructor used his lesson time to go into restaurants to eat his dinner while my son sat in the car waiting. This place is worth every penny. Very professional. My daughter ended up getting 100percent on her G2 test in Oshawa. She has gone from a timid nervous driver to very confident defensive driver. Great job young drivers and instructor Terry
