Very nice experience, but confusing. 6/23/2012

I have loved how much i learn in my class sessions as well as on my drivfe, but it is sometimnes confusing and not well explained to its fullest. Information or commands are given kind of sporatically, but still great learning experience in the end. Class instructor:Rick, Drive instructor:Gayan. more

Very comprehensive overview of certain driving techniques. 6/23/2012

I thought the instructor (Gayan) was very patient and helpful covering the different parking techniques. He was also very thorough in the end-off-drive overview. more

A worthwhile experience 6/19/2012

--Forwarded Message Attachment-- Hello Gayan, I wanted to again thank you for allowing me to ride-along with you during my daughter Amys last two instructional drives. It was very helpful as a parent to hear and see what you, as an instructor, are looking for with students who are learning to drive. I appreciated the way you gave Amy positive reinforcement in areas where she was successful and guided her in areas where she needs more practice. I feel it was definitely a worthwhile experience for me to watch you work with her in building her skills. I want to encourage other parents in the program to plan on riding-along with their children. In fact, I wish I would have come along earlier, perhaps during the second or third drive, rather than waiting until the end. There is so much for our children to know, and understanding what the expectations are and maintaining consistency in the instruction will make our children safer drivers. Thank you for all you do to help our young people become safe ticket free for life drivers. Sharon Wall Second Grade Teacher Apollo Elementary 425 837 7573 walls@issaquah.wednet.edu more

One of the best and reputable schools I have seen. 6/19/2012

Instructors are just way too professional, particularly Gayan I have seen to be nice and very accommodating. He knows his work. Our two other teens also graduated from Gayan's class a few years ago more

Very positive experience for parent and newly permited driver 6/13/2012

Natalie was great giving tips and processes to help navigate the perils of learning to drive. parent(s) are encouraged to ride along at least once. low stress. my son reports classes were interesting. time of day wasn't stressful to either of us (after school twice a week). testing was helpful and reinforced material. highly recommend this school and west seattle location in particular more

Great program - all three of my kids went to DDS 6/12/2012

I really like the program and the commentary driving system at Defensive Driving School. I feel like it gave my kids the skills they need to be safe drivers and helped me to know what they were seeing as they learned to drive. I recommend it highly to other parents. more

Great school 6/12/2012

when i first take the class, i thought it's going to be very boring. well i guess i was wrong. the teacher's very funny and the lessons are very helpful. every time i need something, the staff was friendly and answer back very quick more

Defensive school is the best it really helped my driving. Go to mi more

Their service is good! 1/9/2012

My daughter used Defensive Driving School. They took her, drove her, and had her do the driving. She had a problem at school, and she had to switch days. It was fine with Defensive Driving School. We hda an overall good experience with Defensive Driving School. I would tell people about them. Their service is good! more

Do research - don't waste your time! 1/8/2012

For us, the best part of our defensive driving course for adults was when we walked out the door at the beginning of the first break! We cannot rate this exit strategy highly enough. (Our good manners were all that kept us from not leaving earlier.) Pros: null Cons: null more

It was a lot if fun! The classes were good and gave me a lot of information. 12/23/2011

Everything was great! I really enjoyed it and will recommend this school to friends! more

Friendly and accommodating! 12/19/2011

I would say that the people at Defensive Driving School are very easy to work with. They were very accommodating for a schedule. It was all around a great experience! We decided to choose this driving school because the owner is our neighbor! Defensive Driving School is friendly and accommodating. Their Skid Monster training was a great bonus! more

Really nice. 11/8/2011

I always recommend Defensive Driving School. I had three children go through, and one of my children was training as a classical ballerina, so her schedule was hit or miss with all the dance classes. Fortunately, Defensive Driving School has driving times and classes on varied days, so they'll work for anybody's schedule. They're really nice. more

The class wasn't boring and the instructor was nice! 10/11/2011

I definitely recommend this class because it kept learning about driving interesting! more

Offers hand control driving classes! 10/11/2011

I wanted to take a driving class that offered hand control driving and Defensive Driving School offered classes. Out of the instructors I had, Jay was the best! He was wonderful to learn from. He is very honest and straightforward, and I, for one, appreciate that type of feedback. The only feedback I'd offer to them is to be a little more knowledgeable about hand controls, where to order them, taking the test at DMV, and anything else relating to hand controls. more

Educational 10/11/2011

Defensive Driving School is an excellent school with great instructors who teach how to drive and what to do, in a fun and educational manner! more

Great so far! 8/13/2011

I like how they are involved with every student. Swag. more

I learned a lot from Defensive Driving School even though the classes were a little boring. 8/11/2011

The classes themselves were boring. Only because it's a lot of information just being handed out at once. My instructor made it bearable though so it was at least interesting. The drives were frustrating but useful as well. more

Very exceptional service and quality. Can't say enough good about our experience!! 8/4/2011

Defensive Driving School is really convenient because they're close to our house. JC and his staff are very willing to answer questions and take time to explain all the necessary details on your child's progress and how the parents can contribute to your child's success. They don't want you to drop off your child, so they spend time talking to the parent in the whole experience too. They're in the car for a limited time with them whereas the parents are driving with them for the larger percentage of their time. Defensive Driving School made it like an education and I really appreciated that. JC has taught my other two daughters and we had a really good experience. I have five children so I'll definitely be using them in the future. We trust Defensive Driving School, and they work with our kids rather than do everything for them. They're very hands-on so you need to participate too. Defensive Driving School has very exceptional service and quality. We can't say enough good about our experience with them! more

They must know what they're doing! 8/3/2011

I've had four boys take driver training over the years with Defensive Driving School. I've also assisted them with advertising campaigns, as I work with an advertising agency, so I've worked with them pretty extensively. My boys were very pleased with the instructors, and they seemed to have a good one-on-one with them all. They seemed to enjoy the training, and their all good drivers now who passed their tests, so they must know what they're doing! Doug Crandall more
