Reviews of Blue Ridge Driving School (Driving School)

Clayton Padfield

Instructor is engaging and accommodating. i prepaid and signed up in one quick phone call, showed up on Saturday and got this chore out of the way. Very professional. Any bad reviews are probably from frustrated DUI class registrants that failed to do the right thing (again).

Very friendly environment. Always clean and welcoming. The owner seems to know exactly what he's talking about. Highly recommend.

AJ Speed

One of the most knowledgeable instructors in the state. Super understanding and not to mention an instructor with a great sense of humor.

Just gave a call to the driving school and the gentleman who answered the phone was rude! I felt like he didn’t have the time of day to answer any questions that I had for a new driver in the family. I wouldn’t recommend calling this company if they are going to be this rude over the phone, also I wouldn’t want my daughter driving with him behind the wheel if he were to have the same attitude!

Mr Hutson makes the Driver's Improvement Class seem much shorter than it is. You don't want to be sitting in his class all day Saturday. The court/DMV required it... Now it's where you are. But, Gary makes it go by quickly. He's very knowledgeable and friendly. This class could be quite painful and boring, but Gary breaks it up with friendly conversation and relates class subject matter to real world scenarios. I entered into the class with low expectations, but was very pleasantly surprised. Gary's website is a bit dated. The class is $65 (prepay) or $80 day of class now. Structure wise, you get a couple "smoke breaks" and a lunch break. It's equal amounts video/conversational setting. I'd recommend Blue Ridge Driving School to anyone in need of any of their offered services solely based on Gary's personality and knowledge. Thanks to Gary for knowing how to connect with his students.

The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, good sense of humor and down to Earth. I was dreading having to take a defensive driving class to avoid points on my license but he actually made it fun and I truly did learn a lot. Highly recommended, I hope he’s still teaching when my boys are learning to drive!

I called for assistance with a unique situation with Behind the Wheel. The man was RUDE and unhelpful. I'll never understand those in the service industry who are rude. This man will NEVER get my money with any of my 4 children.

This guy is a joke! He told me I could prepay for my class and then I could go to any class I wanted, got forced to work and called him let him know I'd be attending the following Saturday. He told me no I lose my money and got very rude and hung up. So he got my money and refused to let me to to another class. I ended up going to another school and had to pay again! GO TO ANOTHER SCHOOL HE ISN'T WORTH YOUR STRESS!!!

The instructor is hilarious and accommodating. I'm taking an 8-hour class, and it doesn't feel like any time has past!
