Reviews of Nelson Driving School LLC (Driving School)

Jackson Snyder

Excellent teachers to ensure you pass your exam!

Bethany Hanson

The guy with the mustache giving the drive test is horrible. Horrible attitude, very unfriendly and the front desk lady even said his attitude sucked.. Probably not the place to go If you don't pay them for driving lessons first.. Hope a new drive tester is hired soon and be rid of that guy please!

Thank you Nelson Driving School, for such excellence in customer service, and making the experience welcoming. I went in, took my knowledge test, very quick I told the lady I was here for the knowledge test, and I was working on it, within minutes.

Sinag

I highly recommend Nelson Driving School. I took my knowledge and driving test here and I passed it all in just one try. Ive got no experience in driving that is why I took an 8 hour driving lesson, and I would like to commend Don Whitney-my instructor for being so relaxed, informative and very reliable. He's such a pro! I feel so comfortable while driving, and i would say it was such a great and fun experience learning with him.❣????Thanks a lot!

Nelson driving school a good place to study your permit test and getting your license. The lady is nice and helpful. I recommend this place to people I give it five stars because of these reasons.

Drew Beam

Easy enough process to go in for a knowledge exam. Good social distancing and sanitizing. However, receptionist was rude to me and short with me despite me having just arrived and only being there for a maximum of 10 minutes. It was also unprofessional for front staff to speak about a different customer/student unkindly after they had left while other customers/test takers were in the vicinity.

Gena Phair

So I had taken both the written and driving test at Nelson's. I passed both!!!! It was such a great experience. It was such a NO stress environment I was able to relax and drive.

People give them a bad review but you have nothing to worry about if you are a good driver.

My daughter got her license today ???? We were in & out within a half hour, including drive time! Very nice driving instructor also. Thx Nelson Driving School

Kayla Fields

Very friendly staff. Came in for the drive test and was assisted immediately and within minutes the instructor took me on my drive. And the driving course they use was very easy to follow. Overall great experience.

Valentyn Tsakhniv

Will never take a test here again. Unpolite and rushed taking my drive.

Mayra Ruiz

Ty was very professional and friendly throughout the drivers exam. The receptionist was very patient and friendly as well! Definitely recommend this location.

Christina Babb

My kid missed several classes. Pam was able to get them rescheduled for me no problem!

Kara Smith

100% impressed with the service, professionalism, customer care, and generally great attitude of the team at Nelson Driving School. They made the need to take both written and practical driving exams a virtual pleasure for myself and my husband (when transferring our non-US licenses to WA state).

Jim Anderson

I cam in the other day and spoke with a older woman about my license issues. She was very nice and helped me get through all the steps I needed

I was a student here once and the staff was rude and racist toward me and my friend/partner.

Amazing driv ing school, the driving lessons are really helpful for the test!

Ashwin Aloysius

I recently got my driving license and I had a great experience at Nelson Driving School. Starting from knowledge test till I got my license the process was smooth, professional and enjoyable. Especially my Instructor/teacher Don Whitney. It was professional but still a very fun experience learning driving from you. Thank you for being patient and accommodating me. :-)

Jo Mackey

Great driving school for my student. The classes were excellent and having to take the driving and written test for license was very easy and well done.

Very knowledgeable and professional staff that makes the process streamlined. Will recommend to everyone I know in the future.

I highly recommend this place. All the staff are super friendly and helpful.

Adelaide Connelly

I just took both of my tests yesterday and it was actually kind of fun! The people who work there are very friendly, and they helped me log on to my account when I couldn't find my Washington ID which was such a relief! Oh, and it was just nice to hear them talking about Stephen King books in the background while I was taking the written test, helped with my nerves a bit. Haha :) The student driver car is so fancy and it was really fun to drive and that also helped with my nerves! Clyde was really cool. Anyways, overall a very positive experience. And now I can drive on my own!!!

Samantha Renee

Kim was an absolutely phenomenal driving examiner. I took my test with her Saturday 9/18/21 and was extremely nervous as this was my second test. Her presence in the car was very calming and she made me feel at ease. She gave clear directions, was extremely professional, personable and had a glowing, warm personality. This world needs more people like Kim! I am so pleased with my experience and highly recommend this driving school, the staff is top notch and their website is easy to navigate and book appointments.

Michelle Kellogg

Used there services to take my driving test for my license

Michael Taton

Clean and practicing good health safety

Maude Lebowski

Be cautious if you live on King street. They take their noobies to King street to practice their parallel parking. My husbands truck was hit twice and I lost track of how many times my neighbors blue ford pickup truck got hit ( they used this truck multiple times daily to practice ) . I would walk by and there would be a notice on his truck weekly. If I park on the street I park so that no one can get in behind me......

DO NOT RECCOMEND! RUDE STAFF!

Nolan Jones

The worst driving school in all of Whatcom County. It is my belief, and the belief of many others who I have spoken to, that this place is run and operated by scam-artists. I wonder how many competent drivers have been screwed over by the man with the mustache like I was. Not only is his presence in the car completely unpleasant, but he took me to a stoplight that was obviously used to trick me into a critical error, which according to the WA drivers guide, they are not supposed to do try and trick you in anyway whatsoever. Out of every stoplight in Bellingham, this was the only one with the left turn signal arrow at the very top of the light. Totally unfair to take a new driver to a stoplight like that and I have heard countless stories of others who failed because the exact one. If you think that your son or daughter is ready to pass the driving test, DO NOT take them to Nelsons.

Rick Sande

My son totally enjoyed the driving instructor.

Nikita Ramoji

I took both my knowledge and driving tests here. I was absurdly nervous for my driving test, but my instructor was incredibly kind and understanding which made it much easier! The whole process took maybe 20-30 minutes. I ended up passing on my first try despite all my fears, and I can’t recommend this place enough.

Jocelyn Marshman

The experience here was much different and more professional than 1Bal. Tester was informative, patient, thorough, and prepared. And because of this the results were much better for my son's driving test.

Victor

Patient, knowledgable and friendly staff.
