Absolutely not. If you want to waste hundreds of dollars and your time, don’t send your children here. They don’t pick up the phone, barely teaches you about driving techniques, and very dismissive with parents. Go somewhere else.
My twins attended the Spring Break class. The classroom portion was very thorough and the instructors in the cars were great. Highly recommend Maxwell Driving School
Its a great school I took years ago. For those of you that said the school doesn’t do much. Like teaching freeways and all that. I mean that’s something you can learn on your own. Parallel parking too. My first day of work years ago I was still a little rusty driver but I just did it and it became the norm. It’s just something you practice. Good school all in all
The office manager, Michele reached out to me personally to rectify all scheduling issues. She was VERY friendly and helpful. She was also understanding of our concerns and received my constructive criticism with grace. She was more than willing to help.
Did not teach how to drive backwards; example parallel park and even not teach how to back out of a parking spot. Driver lessons where suppose to be a hour each driver teacher came back in 50/55 minutes and even when they were late leaving because of the teacher they still shorted our time. I would have did a better job teaching my child myself vs spending $550 for a half job.
While I did like being able to schedule and change my sons driving lessons online the content of the lessons was severely lacking. As my 3rd child to take lessons, I have some prior experience. It never occurred to me that he wouldnt receiving instruction in reverse or parking of any kind. He drove around the area without any actual instructions. He was told his braking needs improvement but not told in what way. Overall, the experience was only to check the block with the insurance company for a discount and not for any skills he actually learned. Other child used another local driving school a couple of years ago (currently closed due to Covid) and they actually taught parking, reversing, and a fuller spectrum of skills.
I have had 2 of sons attend Maxwell Driving School and would highly recommend this experience for all youthful drivers. It prepared them in many ways for the many occurrences one can experience as new driver. Knowledge is power and this school gives a great amount of knowledge and teaches skills that one cannot achieve on their own or without professional guidance. I recommend all parents of new drivers to get this training for the children here. Thank you so much. Henry Todd, retired police officer.
This was THE WORST experience i’ve ever had. $550 plus TAX for them to teach you everything that was the in the DMV manual. I only learned one thing which was the alcohol level. You only drive around in 3 different areas for an hour. No backing up, parallel parking, or anything. They teach you everything your parents can teach you at HOME for FREE. On top of the $550 dollars you spend, they don’t tell you that the TN ROAD TEST ISN’T INCLUDED. They charge you an extra $60 JUST TO DO THAT. And please don’t get me started on the RUDE receptionist. Every time you call, she has an attitude. Also, after you take the road test, you have to wait an EXTRA 10 days to for the test scores to even be put IN THE SYSTEM. They swore up and down they told me that, but didn’t tell me ANYTHING. Now after taking this class for almost 2 MONTHS, & 5 TRIPS TO THE DMV, i still have not received my license. TOTAL waste of money, and would NOT recommend.
I have had a great experience with Maxwell Driving School. Very detailed information is explained during the classroom instruction. Technical aspects of driving are explained in extreme details. Absolute wonderful program with very professional and experienced on the road driving instructors that encouraged my student to build on his driving skills. I HIGHLY recommend this program.
I was a student at the school and it was horrible. You drive in 3 different areas for 1 hour which is not enough time to learn. They only teach how to switch lanes, drive in your lane, stay the speed, and turning. The very important things they should teach is merging into a freeway, backing up, and the MOST IMPORTANT parking. It’s overpriced and they teach you things that you should’ve already read in the driving manual.I recommend going somewhere more professional and somewhere you’ll get more experience cause I can’t get my driving license cause I can’t park a damn car.
Thanks for everyones help at Maxwell Driving School. I periodically take these classes to keep my driving skills honed. I drive alot with work and my personal travel and the driving school keeps me on my toes. It also helps keep my car insurance rates more affordable. I highly recommend this school for everyone. It could save your life and save you money. Thanks again.
Super kind people who know exactly what they are talking about. Very helpful and patient with everyone and care about students personally. Highly recommend!
Learned so much about safe driving and driving techniques, I am so glad I had the opportunity to attend the adult driving program.
Terrible experience with my son. He completed the course, and for a month, we could not anyone competent enough to send his test scores electronically. Maxwell dropped the ball and failed to make it right. After two times at the DMV, the scores never transferred. Memphis is the only place that can take technology and still act like its the dark ages. If you use them, stay on their behinds! Make sure they do what you paid them to do. They know How to collect the money, but unable to deliver on services in a timely fashion.
My nephew attended this class. Great, great job by the instructor. I am very pleased. Thank you .
Dont waste your time going to this school. They dont keep any record and this so called Michelle was very rude and Ignorant stating that they dont keep record of who passed and who failed in their school. What an illiterate set of individuals working @ Maxwell or the owner must be illiterate too. How can you own a school but dont keep records. You are not worthy of training a dog or cat to drive.
My daughter attending Maxwell Driving School and the education she received was right on point. She drives us everywhere at home and while traveling. Thank you Mr Maxwell for this very much needed experience for a new driver.
Have not used the school yet but my first impression after talking with lady on phone to get info, was negative. She seemed rude and impatient. Talked fast and seemed frustrated when asked to repeat. Glad I read these reviews. Will not use.
Great program. These people do it right.
Let me give you a little backstory before I start typing my unpleasant time at this place. I am over the age of 18, so this applies to my adult private lesson drivers. I never really got the chance to drive when I was younger because of family issues. I also lived on a busy intersection, so my guardians were always fearful to teach me how to drive. Therefore, I was always stuck on how to learn how to drive growing up.Now on to my experience..I really didnt learn anything from this driving experience here at all. There was an instructor named Ginger at this location that was really slightly annoyed while teaching me how to drive. However, keep in mind that this was my first time EVER being behind the wheel of a car in my life. The instructors kept saying that a simulator that I took before lessons were supposed to help me, but we all know that you need actual driving experience to really get a grasp on it! I didnt even get to drive on the simulator because they didnt give me the proper directions on what to do while on it. She didnt even know If I drove with her before, which was fine, but dont they have the paper to tell you that with some of my information on it? She also wanted to take me out on a highway to before even knowing if I drove before with them, which is dangerous! She also gave up 30 minutes in because she thought It was to hard for me to learn and got a new instructor to help me. Who does this to somebodys on their first lesson?I mean, dont get me wrong, I know that everybody is human and we all make mistakes, but this was unacceptable.This is so unfortunate because I hate giving bad reviews. I was so excited to do my first lesson, but I was extremely disappointed/unsatisfied and wont be coming back.
I had a very good experience with this school! They are wonderful and well-educated!
Great way to hear about max maxwells life as a stuntman. Terrible program
Wonderful people to work with and such a pleasant experience! Very professional !
Yeah, he sucked.
