Reviews of Excel Driving School (Driving School)

Stephanie Rand

Excel driving school was an amazing experience for me. The in-class lessons were good, a decent mix between videos, worksheets and collaborative learning. The in-car lessons were fantastic. I had Linda Smith as my driving instructor and i couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. She was patient, well-spoken, professional, and she always tried her very best to calm my nerves as i am a very nervous driver. A big thank you to Linda and Excel driving school, i will recommend:) !

After checking out many reviews on driving schools we chose Excel for our son. Highly highly recommend. Gerry (The owner) is great to deal with. Their payment plan is terrific as well. My son's instructor Tom was fantastic. He always showed up on time and let us know if he was running late. Highly recommend Excel Driving School and will be using them again for our daughter.

Gerry gave me a private lesson for my G road test and he was amazing. He's a great instructor, made me feel confident and calmly explained everything to me. Definitely recommend!

Ann Chen

Excellent instructors! I didn't have a car to practice with outside of driving lessons and still managed to pass the G2 road test on my first try. Highly recommend to everyone.

Gerry was an AMAZING instructor. He answered every single one of my questions and had the patience of a Saint. Very calm and friendly. I highly reccomend him! I owe passing my G road test to him. Thank you again Gerry!

Couldn't recommend this school more. In class lessons were very informative. Gerry laid things out in an easy to understand way. Linda was my in car instructor and she took me from being terrified to drive 40km/h in a residential area to taking on the 401 with ease. Tom took me out for one last lesson before my G2 and he is awesome as well. I passed my test with flying colours and I couldn't be happier! Thank you to the awesome staff at Excel, I couldn't have done this without you guys. :)

I never got to take my lesson with this school because I coudn't even book a lesson. I needed a couple hours to practice right before my full G test, and got the number for Audrey directly. The only time I could actually talk to her, she was busy and said she would call me back a bit later. When she finally did call me back, it was so late at night, I had to let it go to voice mail. The next couple days I called several times, she never picked it up, or called me back. When I started texting with possible times, she replied in short messages, instead of picking up or calling back. This way we couldn't get any further. That's when I called a whole new driving school and booked :D The only reason I give 2 stars instead of 1, is because Gerry replied very quickly for my initial inquiry.

I took an hour-long lesson with Tom to prepare for my G2, during which he was grumpy and unclear in his instructions and suggestions. I also had to ask him to put his mask on when we were in the car together. It was useful to know what the course would be like, but otherwise, not useful.

Alexis Pemberton

This was awful the instructor lied to me and told me I was able to book the car for my test. He repeatedly told me to « slow down » and slammed on the break while I was going 25 in a 40 zone. Waste of time and money. Edit: the owner's response to this is appalling, if I did not have a lesson with your company then I would like to be refunded the 40 dollars I payed. If I am not in your records then clearly someone is not keeping track of clients very well. Disappointed beyond belief.

I highly recommend Excel driving school . As a mature student with no experience the classes were very informative and Gerry was a great teacher. Linda was my driving instructor and she was extremely patient, supportive and professional. She went above and beyond to ensure that I was road worthy and ready for my g2 test. I passed first try ????✔ thanks Excel driving school..especially Linda ????

I took my beginner driver course there. The instructor was pretty helpful and knowledgeable. He helped me arrange my road practice time to fit my schedule, and the indoor course was fun as well. During my road practice, he always showed up on time and was very patient with me, though I didn't really make many mistakes. :P All in all, I am very happy with my experience with Excel Driving school.

Jennifer Gor

I took a few lessons with Excel preparing for my final G test. My instructor Gerry, was very patient, approachable and an excellent overall instructor. I highly recommend this driving school, for their great prices, availability and amazing instructors!

Erin Dickson

I can't say enough good things about this driving school! My in car instructor was Linda and she was amazing. She took through all 10 hours of lessons and then took me for a refresher lesson the day before my G2 road test, which I passed with flying colors! I never would have been able to do that on my own without the help of Excel. Learning to drive with them was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Keep up the good work guys and keep on making new generations of good, safe drivers.

Kaitlyn Blakney

Great driving school! I completed lessons with Linda in December 2019 to prepare for my G2 test and I also completed an additional private lesson with her this March to prepare for my G test. She is an excellent instructor who gives clear instructions and is quick to answer my messages. I don’t remember who taught the in class portion when I did it but they did a good job of making it interactive and interesting. Good course to prepare for road tests and reasonably priced compared to some other driving schools!

Harley Caron

Dave was my driving instructor & hands down the best one out there. Absolutely amazing.

Kiki Simpson

My instructor, is Karen and she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She makes me feel so confident about my driving and has helped me to become such a better driver

Sierra Vidal

Linda.S did a great job preparing me for my G2 test!

bob horton

The driving instruction was good, but the girl in the office is useless. Do not expect them to return any of your calls. Not even the ones where you are going to give them money.

Response from the Owner: Our apologies to Andrea for her bad experience with Excel. We try our best to provide excellent service unfortunately we didn't in this case. I spoke to Audrey and yes she did respond late to Andrea's message but it was simply a case of forgetting to do it sooner which can be attributed to workload from our Beginner Drivers Ed course students that day. Since then we recognized the need for additional help and have hired another driving instructor to alleviate workload and hopefully free up more time to accommodate those looking for private lessons. Again our apologies to Andrea.
