Reviews of Easy Method Driving School Inc (Driving School)

Anonymous

Worst Service! Val, the manager, is horrible. They hide fees after you pay in full, and get additional monies for rescheduling appointments. Driving instructor was 45 min. late to pre-scheduled driving time. I wish I had looked up the reviews before going with the service I saw on the school's website, I would of found an alternative program.

My son did his 60 hours of mentoring with Frank. It really prepared him for the test I feel okay about him driving on his own or with his friends.

I learned more then expected about being safe behind the wheel. I recommend this school for anyone getting license for the first time. I don't text and drive based on what I was taught here.

The teachers are friendly and professional. I took the sat and sun class and it worked great since I am busy after school and working in the evenings.

Management is horrible took my drivers ed class last summer and I came a year later to the mva in Easton reminder I live in Annapolis and my mom took off work to take me and a whole year later and they never sent over my form that says I completed driving school. This management is horrible and apparently this is a reoccurring issue with easy method and the lady Reminded me there is also no way for me to find this out till I take my test. Never come here if I could give 0 stars I would

**** PROSPECTIVE DRIVERS PLEASE BEWARE **** I am in the process, still, of finishing my driver's ed and road skills commitments before moving on to complete my test in Maryland. I didn't pay much attention to the negative reviews in place already and just thought that there would be a basic standard for driving schools and "why shop around, how bad can it be?". I couldn't have been more wrong. Positives: - Price - Easy method is relatively price competitive and they build 6 hours of road skills into their fixed price for new drivers [although in hindsight this is commonly offered by other companies in the area]. Negatives: - Their 30 hour class room session [in Ellicott city] is held in a run down, beaten up and uncomfortable old building and it is poorly heated so beware committing to this in the winter. - Despite assuring you that you can schedule your behind the wheels component easily when you are ready to do so this is not true. I am taking mine through September and October and was told by the rude customer representative [Ashley] that they only have two instructors on at this time of year and this means that you can be waiting weeks to get slots that are actually conducive to your schedule. - Customer service is non existent, the office is a joke and managed very poorly. I asked Ashley to speak to the manager, which she then told me was her even though the week before when I made the same request she told me it was someone else [apparently that person left that same week!]. This was in response to a last minute reschedule by me [less than 24 hours notice] for being ill. I was told that their policy didn't accommodate changes within 48 hours of the lesson even in the event of illness and I was then forced to pay $30. I pushed back to say, "wait, you need to know you will be sick 48 hours before?" and was told there would be no budging on the policy. Unfortunately in order to take the test and pass the mandatory state components I had to pay the penalty in order to book a lesson otherwise I would have told them where to shove it. I am told that Tony Maxino [her boss] will call me back. Tony "looks after things at Easy Method" so I am sure he is the right person...[sarcasm]. - The cars. I am not sure about all the instructors and can only speak about my own experience but the instructor's car was filthy, smelt terrible and was badly worn down. Driving a boat would have been easier. Unfortunately you are hence forth obligated to spend six hours with this person in their car which is compulsory so do yourself a favor and go with a company where the instructors take pride in their work and vehicles. - Finally, my instructor in all of my sessions made sure to wrap up the sessions within 60-75 minutes instead of the paid for 90. He was always in a rush to go to his next session, turned up early, finished early and cut the lesson short. Even though I was delighted to get out of the filthy vehicle I felt I was being ripped off on my professional lessons which were paid for in the cost of the package. All in all, there are plenty of better managed, better equipped and frankly more pleasant options out there. This is not an irate review, it is a warning, don't make the same mistake I did as you will end up giving up 40 hours of your life to this company and hard earned money for a very poor experience. I never write reviews online but felt compelled in this case due to the extremely negative experience. Avoid at all costs students and drivers. Aaron

My driving instructor was amazing, his name was Mr.Blaha he did a magnificent job and is very commited. Today I went into the MVA to take my skills test though and they said I could not because Easy Method did not electronically send the form that says I took drovers ed at this school. The managment did not take it seriously at all. The school said I could take just the paper copy for my test, also the school says this is a common problem so iIdon't understand why they fix it. Now I must wait another 1-2 months to take it again. To sum it up again, the driver instructor was amazing and well educated during the driving and class portion, but the management is horrific.

The manager Tania was so helpful in working with me on the payment plans so my child could get in to the class right away! I went here 17 years ago and now my child is there!

Jenny Agenda

I recommend the 3pm to 615pm class the teacher is great. I saw they also had a Sat class but I play sports and could not go then. I like the free pick up and drop off.

Tom Lobi

The class that goes 3pm to 615pm was perfect for my son to take after school. He was a little nervous and I know he felt better about taking it with his friends after school. Another parent picks up and I drop them off.

Saeid Makou

My son completed the 30 hours classroom it went very well. He took the in car lesson where you get the option to meet at the classroom or pick is also available. He passed the test and got the license today. Very Proud Father here.

Susan Smith

My instructor was very helpful and patient, and I didn't feel rushed like I was expecting. There was plenty of time allowed for in-car training. My instructor was kind to all of us and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. I would recommend Easy Method to everyone that need help getting over their fear of driving. Peace and Love.

Olivia Libby

I was so nervous about driving but the teachers here made it easy and fun. Now I can't wait to drive to the beach this summer! Easy Method has an option to meet at the class for the in car lessons or get picked up at home, school or work.

My daughter drives with two feet, the instructor insisted using only one during the last driving hour, he would not give her the certificate, or return my calls, and a month later the phone was disconnected. This is a fly away at night company.

Julie Posner

Warning...The customer service provided by this company is HORRIBLE! If you have another option you will want to use it. I would not recommend them to anyone! If you need to Call the Ellicott City location be prepared to be treated with rudeness and deceit.

Derrick Massey

This school is well known in the area for being the best and I can see why. The office staff and teachers go out of their way for you. I thought I would not like being in the classroom but it was so fun I was bummed when it was over. Some of my teammates took the class and we car pooled. We all have our license now and will be driving our dates to prom.
