Reviews of Brown's Driving School (Driving School)

Ian Dean

They teach kids to kill animals. They tell them if an animal runs in front not to avoid it. Instead of teaching them how to handle their vehicle properly they say to kill the animal.

Wow! We had such a positive experience and it is very clear that they truly value your business and genuinely care about the safety of their students. Instructors are friendly and want students to feel comfortable. Communication was great and I would highly recommend taking the driving exam through Brown's as well.

My experience with Brown Driving School was great. The instructors are very good at preparing students with the necessary information to pass their tests. As well as teach them the proper and SAFE Technique. Instructors are very friendly and genuinely care about your comfort and safety. I learned so many tips and tricks that I know will benefit my driving. 10/10 highly recommend.

I helped my girlfriend pay for the coarse, it was $300 dollars (not including the cost to take your test there) and I just want to tell everyone DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. Browns *might* put inexperienced drivers on the right path, but she learned much more and gained more experience just driving with me off and on every weekend. This is the way to go, these three hour long sessions won't do anything, keep your money and put it towards gas. I also want to throw this out there, we paid the 40 for her to take her test there and she failed it, siting that she turned into the wrong lane (something she's never once did while driving.) After they failed they were extremely quick to offer us another training session (a mere $150 dollars.) We saved the money, turned around and went to the local dmv the next day and she got her licence. She passed with flying colors. This could be them being scandalous, or it could be her just being nervous and making a mistake, point is overall it was a waste of money. There are cheaper courses you can take to help lower your insurance premium.

Absolutely awful. They use the video "Red Asphalt" which, for those unfamiliar, is basically a video of dead children and mangled bodies telling you not to speed. It's disturbing and extremely unnecessary. Further, the instructors got worse every drive. They would get pissy when you became confused and yell when you needed help

I have never left a review but I was very impressed with this school they are great! My son learned to drive from them.

The first instructor wouldn't stop talking and was riding the break so hard that he may as well have been in the driver seat. The second instructor was too busy yelling to actually teach anything. The guy he was training who was sitting in the back seat actually helped way more and he only ever said anything after the drive. This isn't how you teach someone to do anything. He was rude, condesending and destroyed any chance of me learning with his attitude. By the end of the drive I kept messing up because of the ridiculous way that he was acting. I learned much more by driving with my dad in a relaxed atmosphere. Don't waste your money.. Unless you just want to pay somebody to yell at you/your kids for an hour.

I took the class and it wasn't too bad. The driving instructors need to be on the same page. The first two drive instructors we okay. The third was a nightmare. His teaching methods were completely different and he was not patient. He was condescending and yelled a lot. He rode the break so hard. When it came to parallel parking, he tried to teach me a complete different method and was frustrated when it confused me. By the end of that drive, I was almost in tears, and had not learned anything AND I was confused by the requirements on the test because his information was contradicting. When it came time for the test he sent me to the car and when I he got it I went to start it. We have a jeep and you can hear it start, but I couldn't hear this car start, so went to turn the key the make sure and he smacked my hand and told me to stop. When we got started, I quickly realize that there is NO SPEED LIMIT SIGNS on the test course! So, being cautious, I was going a little slower because people tend to speed. In the neighborhood, there was a mother getting her toddler out of the car and I stopped because the 3rd instructor said that if the right wheels leave the center it's an automatic fail. He yelled and said he's going to fail me. So by the time I had to uphill park and parallel park I had completely shut down. When I called the main office they said "yes, there is signs" when my cousin and I drove around the course and there was NO SIGNS. I do not recommend. Also I would like to thank the driving instructor Kurt because he was the one who really helped me.

Scheduled a motorcycle course with them and was unable to get the class date I originally purchased so i had to reschedule my class and couldn't get a refund. arrived at their next class about 10 min late and they turned me away and told me to come back another time after i drove all the way from Tulsa Oklahoma. I asked if i could just get a refund since i could use the original date i signed up for and they said they were unable to give me a refund. So after wasting two round trips to Oklahoma City i gave up them. They kept my money and i got nothing but anger and and a headache in return. Ended up just teaching myself to ride instead of having to deal with these people which is what i recommend to anyone. I deal a lot in customer service and this is not how you help someone. Worst experience i have ever had with any business.

Sent my son here for school and it was flawless! They were on time picking him up for the driving time, worked with his schedule for the drive times, did a great job prepping him for the driving test. They communicated very well on everything parents need to be aware of in helping their kids get a permit and license. I will be sending another kid in 6 months. For those that complain about the video and grumpiness of the instructors, 1) If it's one less body that someone has to pick up because of reckless driving it's worth. You are getting a license and people are depending on you not to kill them because you think you're invincible. 2) The drives are to help you gauge where you are as a driver and part of that has to do with listening. Pay attention, actively listen, and be polite. I can't imagine the number of times they have had close calls because some in distracted.

They helped with all the logistics as far as paperwork and what we needed to do down to the letter.. The last instructor for the final session was superb with a very nice attitude. You'll need to practice in between yes, but the instruction was good.

Brown's Driving School was an excellent learning experience and Instructor Savage was phenomenal! He was very kind and patient with my son and made the experience fun for him, putting his mind at ease. Needless to say, my son passed thanks to Brown's Driving School. We will use them in the future and I recommend requesting Instructor Savage.

Unethical business!! Would not refund money due to their mistake. Owner very condescending and spoke harshly to me. Do not use this business!!

Gina Mitchell

Absolute 5 star experience!

Joe Johnston

Took the motorcycle class here just recently. My experience was awesome and I learned a lot. I went from no experience to being able to get my license and a bike to practice on. The instructors really work with you and have a lot of experience. Class sizes make it a maximum of five people per instructor which is perfect. I would definitely recommend taking this course versus trying to take your tests at DPS w/o much experience. Take the class seriously and it will be an awesome time and more than worth it!!

I wouldn't suggest going here...
