Exceptional and thorough but unpredictable scheduling.
Pro: Our instructor was owner Charles. He carried white board to diagram concepts first; taught driving on various road types: crowded neighborhoods, narrow curvy roads, interstate; devoted day to teaching parking: parallel, slanted, and regular; and even taught things like how to make three-point turns and pump gas. Very little silent "dead time," always giving safety advice and sharing stories.
(5+ stars for lesson content and quality)
Con: You must have ultra-flexible schedule, be willing to not know exactly when lessons will begin and end until last minute. Pay first, find out later, and have even that repeatedly changed, even on same day. We lost count of how many times lessons were changed. Extremely frustrating.
(At most 1 star for professionalism in scheduling... Almost an overstatement to use the phrase "scheduling" because there essentially is none.)
Tip: Be advised that though hours say open until 9, office can close several (4+?!) hours earlier and all you can get is an answering service that does nothing more than take message and promise call back next day after office opens at 9. This gets to be a problem when two of the three possible lesson times promised are before opening next day and you haven't gotten a confirmation call before office closed the day prior to the lesson. Have the mentality that you are "on-call" for your lessons, and you'll have set your expectations appropriately.
Note: Called office to praise them for lesson quality, encouraging them to not "shoot themselves in the foot" by being so haphazard and unprofessional in scheduling and commitment to word. Not convinced anything will be done or changes made to remedy this. Hope it will though because my understanding is that Charles is a driving instructor far superior to any others out there. Other driving schools don't even teach parking, and instructors just sit next to student as they drive around standard roads, hardly say anything. All companies recommended by daughter's high school friends were fully booked. We chose Aapex because "first choices" were taken. I'm convinced Aapex would become the first choice if only they could better manage scheduling, and our roads would be safer for it!
