This is not a legitimate business. There is a national advertising platform which receives payments, but no goods or services are provided. It is virtually impossible for students to book lessons via telephone with 1 hour wait times or longer and this is after they have taken the money. All appointments must be made through the national office by telephone with no direct contact with the "local" instructor. Seems crazy that you need to give one star to get review posted!

Driving instructor was really rude and intentionally fail me so I have to schedule extra lessons. (How do I know it’s intentional? My instructor from other driving school told me I’m ready for exam).
They charge me $95 extra for missing the lesson though I already paid for the lesson. Its so much more expensive than other driving school. Service is bad too. Do not recommend. I would give 0 star if that’s an option. Any other driving school is better than this!

I am posting as a parent of a student to say how incredible her instructor Mark Halliday (Mississauga) has been. He is kind, supportive and a great instructor. Also, the staff in the office have been outstanding in setting up lessons to fit the very limited availability in our daughter's schedule. Thank you YDC!

Almost a year later after paying fee, I still dont have appointments for all my in car lesson. Instructor promised to get back with time slots and it’s been 6 months since my last lesson.
The first instructor was incredibly awful and borderline harassing me on my first lesson. He got so impatient that he was tapping repeatedly on my body saying “you need to listen! ” And it was my first time behind a wheel and I told him that right from the first minute.
Second instructor promised to get back with time slots for next appointment and never did. It’s been more than 6 months. Called multiple times and asked to speak to a supervisor and got “my manager will call back”. Never received a call back or a voice mail.
Almost $2000 is a hefty price for such a horrible experience.
Edit: so shortly after I posted my review, the instructor sent me an email to remind me of lessons I still have lol so yeah instructor did have my email and despite promise to get back to me with his availability multiple times, he never did since maybe October 2022. And all of sudden he remembers me after 6-7 months? No coincidence! Just because I gave a review.
Here’s the fun part. I reached out again and it went MIA. Although he sent me an email, he advised me to book with “the office”. I do remember after 3 lessons, office has nothing to do with booking, it is between student and instructor. What a mediocre service and instructor.
