Defunct Driving School
The first review, from G. Flores, is a concerning one. The reviewer states that the driving school is permanently closed, but for some reason, the owners have not taken down the website or notified Google. This has led to customers wasting their time showing up for lessons that do not exist.
Positive Reviews
On the other hand, many reviewers have had excellent experiences with Plaza Auto Driving School. They praise the instructors, particularly Charlie, who is described as patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Students have reported feeling calm and focused during lessons, which has helped them pass their road tests with flying colors. Many reviewers recommend the driving school, citing positive communication, quality instruction, and a sense of value for their money.
Negative Reviews
Unfortunately, not all reviewers have had positive experiences. Frank Vignola had a terrible time with Charlie, who was late, cursed, and made accusatory remarks about his son's medication. As a result, Frank's son failed his driving test and did not learn how to parallel park. Another reviewer, who did not provide a name, had a similar experience with Charlie, who was late and accusatory.
Consistent Feedback
One common theme among the positive reviews is that the instructors are patient, professional, and knowledgeable. Many reviewers mention that they felt prepared and calm during lessons, which helped them pass their road tests. On the other hand, the negative reviews highlight issues with Charlie's behavior and professionalism.
