Reviews of Bond Driving School (Driving School)

Nikki isthebomb

I found driving schools that were SLIGHTLY cheaper but decided to go with Bond because my sister's kids had a good experience there. The instructors were prompt and really patient with my 15 1/2 yr old son. Today, Bond picked my son up from home, drove him to the DMV, and he took the test in their car. He passed with flying colors and they returned him home. Because I'm new to the whole "teenage driving" part of motherhood, I called their office a few different times with different questions and they were always friendly and informative. My son came home from each of his lessons to share a positive experience. My 13 year old will be going to Bond in a couple years :) I don't have one negative thing to say about them.

Loved this driving school so much, was very flexible to my needs and what I personally needed to work on. Very, very helpful with coaching through everything. I am now very confident on the road. I recommend this driving school I think it is well worth the value.

Absolutely AMAZING instructors!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. Right on schedule and pick up right from your own driveway! The communication was outstanding.. Email reminders on up coming scheduled driving lessons and I just loved at the end of each lesson I would get an email telling me what they went over, very useful information so we could also practice. My son had the best time with Salvador and Charan. Thank.you again for everything!! The BEST

I use B.D.S for my driver’s ed and it was nice because I could set my own pace for completion. Also when I forgot my login info for driver’s ed I contacted Bond and they helped me with it pretty quickly. When I got to my in-car lessons my instructor was Jennifer (definitely recommend her) and she was very nice and definitely made me less nervous while I was starting to drive. I had her as my instructor throughout all my three in-car lessons and when I took my driver’s test, I passed with only 3 mistakes. ????

Wish I could give a zero. We've had several children train with these people. Our latest child has had a tough time with DMV. This school wants to pay an additional $ 120 for a 1/2 hour session. They didn't properly prepare the student for the exam.

I have used Bond driving school twice for driver’s training. I first used Bond back in 2006 in high school to learn how to drive and I used them again in 2020 once I became permanently disabled and needed to learn how to drive using hand controls. I have had a wonderful experience each time and I feel adequately prepared and taught properly. John was extremely nice and understand and a calm soul when teaching me how to drive with hand controls. I would 1000% recommend Bond driving school to anyone who is looking for behind the wheel training.

Repeated spam begging for reviews is bad enough. Sending it ELEVEN years after I used the service is insane. I don’t remember if Bond was any good. But now I’ll always associate them with obnoxious email marketing practices.

My instructor at Bond driving school was terrific! Patient, clear, and helpful!

I had passed my drivers test with 0 errors the day of and I know I am not a bad driver, but the driving instructor I had assigned to me put his hands on the steering wheel SEVERAL occasions not allowing me to receive enough practice without interference, by myself. He wasn't teaching much, he even parked the CAR FOR ME in the passenger seat when I could have done it myself. It felt like two hands were LITERALLY driving the entire time and I appreciate the school, not the instructor I had.

THIS IS THE WORST DRIVING SCHOOL EVER!!! THEY REFUSE TO GUARANTEE THEIR SERVICE SO DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY UP FRONT LIKE THEY REQUIRE (THAT'S A HUGE RED FLAG- "I'VE GIVEN YOU NO SERVICE, BUT GIVE ME YOUR $"). THEY REFUSED TO CALL US BACK, REFUSED TO TAKE OUR CALLS, REFUSED TO REFUND OUR $248 FOR NO SERVICES RENDERED, & REFUSED TO REFUND WHEN WE DISPUTED THE CHARGE THROUGH OUR BANK, STATING, "WE HAVE A NO REFUND POLICY." SO THIS IS THEIR POLICY: "WE, BOND, TAKE YOUR MONEY FIRST WITHOUT PROVIDING SERVICE YET, DON'T CARE IF YOUR DISSATISFIED WITH THE ZERO SERVICE PROVIDED, DON'T CARE IF YOU DON'T FEEL SAFE LETTING YOUR DAUGHTER DRIVE WITH US DUE TO OUR NON-RESPONSIVENESS TO YOU, & EVEN IF YOU DISPUTE THE CHARGE WITH YOUR BANK WE REFUSE TO REFUND BECAUSE THAT $248 IS OURS!!!" WHAT BUSINESS OPERATES THIS WAY?! WE HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH THE BANK, & REPORT THEM TO THE BBB & WILL TAKE THEM TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT IF NEEDED BECAUSE THEY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO OPERATE A BUSINESS LIKE THIS, WHAT ON EARTH DO THEY CARE ABOUT $248 FOR?! ARE THEY THAT DESPERATE?! I HAD TO GIVE THEM 1 STAR IN ORDER TO POST, WHAT A JOKE THEY DESERVE -10 STARS!

Their driver in their Prius just ran the stop sign in front of my house doing 40 mph while my children were clearly playing in in the front yard. Way to set a great example for their students.

I had training in 2014 and received a request to review their company. I had forgotten all about this gem and wasn’t on Google yet. Glad to hear from them today!!! 8 years later haha! I didn’t need the driving lessons, but I decided to take them because I didn’t want to have the same habits as my parents, and I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing any new laws (something is added each year) and had professional training. I took three 2-hour lessons with 3 different Bond Driving School teachers. All of my experiences were amazing because they all had different personalities. I really received the best of 3 worlds! I got a very relaxed trainer, the next day was a standard trainer, and the third was very uptight. But I needed that. I enjoyed having different personalities because they each taught me something different that may have gotten missed and helped me be comfortable on the road. I even told my sister that if she received good grades this semester (yup, 8 years later!), that I’d pay for her driving lessons. I aced my behind-the-wheel test the first time. I speak when I drive, and that helped me so much when testing. It helped me pay close attention to my surroundings and be extremely prepared to act quickly to prevent any accidents. In my 8 years of driving, I have been the family van driver on road trips, the designated driver for friends, the one who gets to drive new cars home for my parents while they drive the old one, and have only been in 2 accidents (both of them not being my fault and the other parties admitting guilt). I have been a delivery driver handling U-hauls, FedEx, and Amazon trucks. I really thank God and Bond Driving School for teaching me the proper road etiquette and knowing when I have the right of way in certain situations. Thanks for reaching out to me. I had the best learning experience!

I'd like to give Bond Driving School major kudos. Was not able to find a certificate needed for a new driver in the family taking his test in an hour. Called Bond to see if the could FAX or email a copy. Was told the DMV will only accept an original. They knew we were under a time crunch and found an instructor to courier over a replacement document immediately. They met us off HWY50 and Sunrise on our way to the Folsom DMV. They went the extra mile for their customer! In this case miles :-) Thank You Bond Driving School

Rachel Songer

My daughter had a wonderful experience with Bond. She was extremely anxious and her instructor was so kind and understanding. She was transformed after her first lesson. She had the same instructor every time which was such a plus. Thank you, Bond. My daughter got her license yesterday and is so happy that she was so well prepared.

My daughter completed her training with Bond ...great choice! I recommend Bond as a mom!!

Jackson Law

I signed up for the 8 lesson course. My 2nd lesson I got assigned Rebecca. She was the best instructor ever. She gave me very detailed notes, and helped me face the things I was most scared about while driving. She was so amazing. I also had her for my last lesson. She was so helpful and all around the BEST instructor I had. My other instructors where ok but no one was better than her. HIGHLY recommend Rebecca G.!

Brianna Carlos

Bond driving school was so helpful and was able to put me in for my 3rd lesson right before my drivers test. I passed with the help of Rebecca. Definitely recommend this school.

Brian Litton

My son used Bond Driving School and enjoyed the training. It worked because he missed zero (0) on his DMV driving test.

Shahin Rahimy

A very welcoming office manager with very helpful instructions!

Zach Bonney

A very amazing experience learning how to drive in 2015 with Bond Driving School! My instructor John, that I had for all my lessons was fantastic. If I ever have anyone that needs assisted driving I will 100% recommend them to Bond! My experience with Bond is from a few years ago, so I forget precise details, but I’m 23 now and filling out a review for them! They helped to give me the confidence, skills and training to drive using hand controls, and for that I owe them a debt of gratitude!

Brandon Buck

these people refused to teach me how to drive a car and so their for you should not go here to learn how to drive a car

Refaat Reme

Be careful There is no refunds when you pay. I scheduled a lesson $199 for 2 hours lesson. Next day morning I called and asked for cancel it and refund. They refused to refund.

My driver instructor (Robin) was excellent! She was very nice and taught me everything I needed to know to pass my driver’s test! I definitely recommend Bond Driving School.

Caroline

All good !

Jennifer William

They were very accommodating despite me reaching out to them on such short notice (a few days before my test). The instructors (Salvador and Ragain) were very patient and their suggestions and feedback were helpful for the driver's road test. Their tips and techniques are both practical and convenient, and come very handy on the actual test. I took a 2-hour lesson and a refresher session prior to the test, and passed! They go the extra mile (pun intended) to help their students be confident drivers. Excellent customer service as well! I would 100% recommend Bond Driving School.

Homeless man vandalized this 2,000$ window for no reason...was told by the cops..." not to do that again" ????

Sally Kalt

I wish I'd seen Emma's review before calling these people. What a bunch of shysters. I called for information and before hanging up they had a credit card number and I was scheduled for the whole package. At no time did they mention a "strict no refund policy." In fact they only sent that info AFTER I cancelled. They are now billing me an extra $130 for cancelling. Grand total from credit card $1455 just for the pleasure of driving around for 2 hours with an instructor--in my own vehicle! Instructor's report on driving ability showed "within normal limits" !!! I agree with Emma, Small Claims Court here we come.
