Reviews of Faulkner's Driving School (Driving School)

Excellent!

Faulkner's Driving School is the best driving school to trust with your child. They set wonderful foundations and their driving lessons are customized to fit your child's ability and comfort, while still opening their eyes to the possibilities and capabilities of other drivers on the road. My daughter greatly enjoyed her time driving and taking the class.

This driving school is way over priced. It is so expensive and not worth it. I went there and honestly we didn't do much of anything. They give you a test with answers to memorize and then the final is the same questions. Find somewhere cheaper if you want to actually be educated.

My son took drivers ed over Spring Break at Faulkners driving school. He enjoyed the class portion and really learned a lot. Mr. Faulkner did a great job keeping all the kids attention. A few weeks later my son took the driving portion with Mr. Faulkners father , also Mr. Faulkner. He was great. I'm was very impressed by his teaching techniques. He really stressed the importance of how serious driving a car is. My son has walked away with so much knowledge thanks to this driving school. I would recommend Faulkners driving school to anyone.

According to their website, Mr. Faulkner's Driving School can accommodate 40 students. Even with 40 students, it would be a tight fit in the small facility. He enrolled 53 students the week I registered and paid for my daughter to attend. She said it was awful and that they were on top of each other. I called Mr. Faulkner after the first day and he offered to give me a refund because he could tell I was not happy. I told him that I would appreciate that because I didn't feel comfortable sending her back there. This was on July 6, 2015. My last interaction with Mr. Faulkner was on July 11th. He called me to say that he would bring my refund to my house on Monday, July 13th. It is July 19, 2015 and I still haven't received the promised refund. After involving a third party, Mr. Faulkner finally gave me a refund on July 27, 2015. On a positive note, I found a fabulous driving school for my daughter in Monroe, NC. She had a great experience. She was one of 22 students.

Just dropped of my last teen for driving school. This is our 5th time Mr Faulkner. All of our experiences have been positive. All of our children have passed and are safe and successful drivers. His staff are flexible and easy to work with.

God where do I start. Let me just say this, you are paying over $400 for a piece of paper. I learned NOTHING while I was there. The only reason I’m giving this two stars is because the son is wonderful and really helped me in the driving portion and at least tried to teach. The father however is GOD AWFUL. I don’t care if you have an A from the BBB, that doesn’t teach kids how drive sweetheart. Anytime he came in the class he interrupted his son and then started spewing about how he was the best driving school in Charlotte and about how nobody else compares to him and what he can do. When he took me out driving, keep in mind this was only my second time, he took me into the heart of downtown Charlotte, proceeded to yell at me when I left too quickly after the light changed or too late afterwards. He also then took me to a gas station where HE WENT OUT AND GOT LUNCH WHILE IT WAS STILL MY DRIVING TIME. He is one of the most unprofessional people I have ever had the displeasure of meeting and if you send anyone here just understand you are paying to get a piece of paper. You will gain little to no real knowledge of driving and will be talked down to the entire time. He didn’t give the kids the time of day and cared only about himself. The son should really be the only one there, he’s the only one that cares.

This person and facility should get a 0 star as he is not professional, rude and disorganized. Keeps giving run around. Signs up too many students and can not offer services. I would stay away

Mr. Faulkner was my high school driver's ed teacher at Sun Valley. About 21 years ago I took my lessons with him and still to this day I still remember his advice when driving always look ahead of you and not in front of you. Also remember the times he was really patient with the students more patient and I could be LOL and he always took us out to lunch nobody ever did not eat. He always really wanted you to succeed and is such a cool nice guy. My goddaughter in two more years will be doing her driver's education classes I will only recommend mr. Faulkner

Highly recommend Faulkners!! They have been a pleasure to work with. When my son had already done the classroom portion with his school and they are so behind on the driving part that it would be a month after his 15th birthday before they could get to him, I looked for a private agency and found Faulkners. Mr. Faulkner was able to work in his 6hours driving time and my son will now be going on his birthday to get his permit. I couldn’t be more impressed. They were very thorough and answered all mine and my sons questions. Mr. Faulkner is very professional and a man of integrity!

I learned a lot and glad I went here instead of taking it in school

Faulkner promised to refund our fee after we decided not to use their service. After three promised dates with no payment and no proactive communication, we ultimately had to enlist a third party to secure resolution. Beware.

Mr. Faulkner is an exceptional teacher! I have a special needs son who needs a little more help than the average student. Mr. Faulkner did an excellent job with my son. I was surprised by the cost but heck I'm over 40 and don't remember drivers ed being expensive. I feel he was well worth every penny I spent and I am sending my other son there next. Not every school is for everyone. Due to their busy schedule it did take a few times of contacting Mr. Faulkner to get what we needed. Persistence is the key to anything!

Great experience! Mr. Faulkner taught my EXTREMELY reluctant teen to drive. He taught her how to handle all kinds of traffic situations and all kinds of intersections. My husband and I were just not getting anywhere on our own, and Mr. Faulkner took care of it. Well worth the money!

My daughter took the classroom portion of the driving class in September. I have called numerous times and left numerous messages to get her scheduled for the driving portion. I called again today and now the mailbox is full. I feel like I have now lost $450 and have no way of getting it back.

This is a great school and Mr.Faulkner uses fun way to learn that stick with you and it is very helpful. 10/10!!!

After over a year of driving in some of the worst traffic in Charlotte, be it red eye or rush hour, I've never had to floor the brakes and pray for the best (Despite the best efforts of the seemingly suicidal who infest 485 and 51) This is near entirely due to Mr. Faulkner. A ton of knowledge, delivered just gradually enough that you're soaking it in without being overwhelmed. You learn to see dangerous situations coming up, and avoid or prevent them before they become a problem. Well worth the time and money.
