Academy Driving School

The woman handling the appointments is extremely rude and condescending. She’s no help whatsoever with questions. Paul, the instructor was wonderful teaching the students. Our Daughter passed the written portion of Segment 2 with flying colors, but due to that woman being so unprofessional, we scheduled her Driving/Road Test somewhere else.

I took my road test here and the woman that did the test was rushing it. She was telling me to go at a yellow light and then it turned red. I was barely over the white line and I failed. I felt really uncomfortable but I tried to stay calm. She was really negative from the beginning. Even when I scheduled the test she wanted me to give my card information over the phone. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

After experiences w/ 2 other well known driving companies near us, we are sooooo grateful to have been recommended to Academy Driving School in Lapeer!! Paul was very understanding, easy to talk with, and relaxed which helped our daughter feel most comfortable. He took time with us, explained the instructions, & what to do. So glad we invested in a switch of plans, and went with ADS. We'll be back when it's time for our son!

This is a top knotch place. Paul was a great instructor that created an atmosphere that was professional but also relaxed enough to help ease my son's nerves as he took his driving test. Thank you for a great experience. I highly recommend Academy Driving School.

Paul is great! My son was very nervous prior to his test, but Paul’s approach to teaching helped him relax and just focus on driving. I definitely recommend Academy!!! Paul also posts videos on YouTube so new drivers know what to expect which really helped my son prepare for his test. If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would!!

My road exam was administered here with friendly professionalism, I recommend Academy Driving school.

I was super nervous to take my road test and Paul was very helpful and kind. Passed the first time, highly recommend

The instructors at Academy especially Mr Paul are very experienced and knowledgeable. They are the best at the business. He helped me not only to pass my driving test but also to become a prudent and careful driver in real life. Any amount of praise for him will fall short as he showed patience and trust that all new drivers need. Going anywhere else than to Academy will be a mistake.

Very relaxed learning environment, but the instructors Paul are very on top of their students. They don't kid around during the drives nor in the classroom. If you are looking for a strict no-nonsense environment, this isn't for you! The downside is the classroom is small and a bit messy, as well as the facilities, but nothing too awful. Cheap, good, and a very efficient way to get Segment 1 out of the way.

I would definitely recommend this place for your drivers test. Paul was excellent with my daughter during her test. Helped put her nerves at ease.
