Cheap, Good Service, Recomended
I obtained my D-Z licence with this company in June of 09. After researching about 5 other schools in the Mississauga/Etobicoke area, I picked these guys because the price was the best, it was close enough to home and they spoke english. Their lesson times and days are very flexible, as they let you do it when you want, but I found it hard to do training only on Saturdays(the only day I could do training cause of my dayjob) Their equipment is ok, the trainers and office staff I found very helpful.
shady company
I wanted to share the experience I had along with another fellow student that attended this school for our DZ license. First off their packages are misleading. They tell you that included are 6 half-hour road lesson in preparation for your road test. But what they don't tell you after you attend your first lesson (which lasts 1.5 hours) your remaining 3 lessons are used on the day they attend the road test with you. So in fact you only get that one 1.5 hour lesson. Secondly, that 1 lesson could be sufficient if you are an experienced driver and know a bit about the pre-trip circle check. But if most of this is new to you there is know way you will remember everything that they quickly run over in that session. I ended up having to purchase 2 additional lessons at $130 each to feel more confident. The student I met on the Ministry location on test day only attended that one class because they told him that is all he needed. They didn't even take him out on the road with the vehicle; they just made him drive around the parking lot a couple of times. When I was going over all the pre-trip stuff with him, he was missing a lot key details that had he missed, he would have failed for sure. He also indicated that the school's attitude changed towards him when he advised them that he was ready for his road test. They turned from this customer friendly company to being very cold and unwilling to give up further information. I also felt the change in attitude when I decided to schedule my road test and not do additional classes. When they scheduled me for my final lesson before the exam they gave me a new guy that was a complete jerk and seemed like he was trying to do everything possible to confuse me. I had asked the company to give me my final lesson a day before my road test but they said that they didn't have openings. When I did my final lessons two days before my road test, the new instructor advised me to buy another lesson because he didn’t' think I was ready...he said that he had an opening the following day...surprise surprise, the day before my road test. I would be surprised if this company hasn't been reported to the better business bureau. I don't agree with their practices. Instead of trying to scam people why don't they increase the cost of their courses and create a more decent program. Stay away from this school. There are other things that I am leaving out here but I'm sure you get the gist of it all...The other student who I met at the road test thanked me for all the help I gave him that day, he said that if it wasn’t for me he would have failed for sure. I’d hate to see this happen to other people!
