My entire experience was great. Sara and Jessica at the branch location made the start of my journey smooth and we're very informative. Chris, Dave, T and Nick gave me a world of knowledge, were very patient but also made the experience seem much easier for someone coming from no driving or manual experience. The only thing that rubbed me wrong was the regional manager on his visit treated everyone like nothing for the fact I paid a lot of money out of pocket to 160 and the description said about 4 students per instructor and that was never the case, it was always 6 or more but the team in the yard did everything they could to get us what we all needed to be successful. Would definitely recommend 160 driving academy to anyone.
I have a ton of great things I can say about my experience at 160 Drive Academy St.luois,but I'll keep it short and to the point. I've never meet a better team of professional men and women, I am extremely proud to express my gratitude. Thanks to Jess, Sarah, Chris, Nick, Dave, Miss Tee, and the examiners Dave & Deborah, without your training I wouldn't be where I am or where I'm going.
This place was greatest. Came in listening to what they had to teach me. In school Sarah and Jess were the best. In Yard Dave, Chris, Miss Tee, and Nick and showed me they way of doing it. I put it all together and it gave me a one and done. So glad I came to this school and not Roadmaster!!!!
I want to thank Mrs T. for helping me. I never drove or been in a Semi truck. She helping to drive it, maneuver it, and help me pass my one and done test. Thank you Mrs T.
