It is definitely a driving school for freaky teenagers which teaches introductory learning by an incompetent teacher. Finally I managed to complete the class because it is easy to pass a test for an adult yet it is difficult for those who are naive and have no driving skills whatsoever. If you're an adult who already has the skills of driving in the past like mine, you don't have to learn from the lectures, you can just take the "behind the wheel" training instead. I recommend it for teens to learn the 30-hour classes while as an adult, I don't have to take all 30 hours to finish it. Thank god I have to get out this useless "30-hour" class. It is just funny that teenagers are clueless about ethanol.

Safeway Driving School is a great school for behind the wheel driving. Their cars are good and safe. Their instructor, Dennis, is wonderful and patient. Their management, Kathy, was very easy to talk with, nice, personable and knowledgeable. We were very comfortable having our 18 year old take his first lessons here. He lives in Vegas, and we live in San Diego. Kathy worked with us to arrange payment from San Diego. We appreciate that they picked up and dropped off on days of lesson, and that they offer the use of their school's car for the actual behind the wheel test at the DMV. I would definitely recommend this business.

best school. my kids love them and i feel so safe sending my kids with them.

I was very concerned about letting my daughter go off with someone i didnt know. the office (Kathy) made me feel at ease. I not only felt good about this, my daughter came back loving the teacher.. I"m not on my 4th child.I have used other schools but they just dont have it..SAFEWAY is truly the best.

I just LOVE this school. They are great and I could not say enough about them. The office staff is very professional with EVERTHING. Never nasty. The kindness you can not find with any onther driving school, believe me I have used many of them and they DO NOT hold a candle next to Safeway. I have used them with my two son's who were scared to death to drive, the teachers at Safeway made my boys feel very relaxed. Bothe my son's are accident and ticket free. My daughter is now talking lessons with Safeway and she is really loving the teacher. Clean car's, smoke free. I dont know what I what have done without this school. Believe me this school is good.. WE LOVE YOU SAFEWAY

This school is considered a member in good standing with BBB for many years. Our cancellation policy is made known to all customers seeking driving lessons: $25 fee for last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hrs). This particular student cancelled twice and complained she was never told by our staff even though our records indicated she was advised by our staff. The school opted not to charge the fee and cancel future appointments to prevent problems.

horrible

This business does not make its clients aware of any policies they have. IE: the 24 hr cancel policy. I had to cancel an appointment i made because i had to work and because of this they said that they will never take me out again. What kind of business is this? To write off a customer forever because they make a cancellation. A policy that i was never aware of? Beware! They will write YOU off too and MAKE UP a reason on the spot.
