Driver Training Group

Awesome driving school! I learned so much within my 3 drives and it definitely showed on my test, as I passed with ZERO errors. 10/10 definitely recommend!

Took the test in their car and it was clean and good enough to feel confident. I feel like the instrctor (Phil) was fair with me, even though the test can be harsh. Overall a good experience.

Very professional and positive instructors! I truly enjoyed the course and highly recommend others. Passed with no errors!

I was a little nervous learning to drive in my forties, but the instructors were caring, reassuring, and inspiring. 2 years since my driving test, I'm driving confidently without accidents.

This was overall a very good learning experience, my instructor was very helpful and made all the instructions very easy to understand. I definitely recommend Swerve Driving School of NORTHGATE.

I've been learning to drive in this driving school for 5 years and they've helped me a lot. They gave me a great career opportunity and I'm very thankful to them. I'd highly recommend this driving school to anyone in the area.

Kirkpatrick Auto Sales are the best driving school in the area, and I know because every time I need driving practice, I go there. I've taken classes in other places, but I always end up going back to Kirkpatrick. The other ones just don't have the right curriculum. I have learned more at Kirkpatrick since I started going there than I have in the other places combined. It's also very affordable. I highly recommend this driving school!

Great instructors, they were super nice and really helped me learn to drive safely, I recomened as your instructed super chill guy and he really helps you.

The Swerve road test cars are filthy & full of mechanical faults. I road tested at both the Ballard & Northgate locations. Ballard's car had loud squealing brakes & the Tire Pressure Monitoring System was on. Every stop sign approach had to be timed to compensate for faulty brakes & one of the tires was under inflated, causing the vehicle to drift.

The gear selector was also loose & would not engage properly, often slipping into a lower gear during the drive. The Northgate car had a faulty drivers side door sensor & I had interrupt my own test to ensure the door was fully closed, to which the instructor says "That sensor is broken." This gear selector was also loose & would slip while driving.

It's dangerous & shameful that this company is authorized to test motor vehicle safety when their vehicles are so full of faults. I expected for $70 per test they could at least provide a clean, safe vehicle to test in. I would never allow a teen driver to test here as I would be too concerned for their safety. I will be filing a complaint with WA DOL & AG Consumer Protection against Swerve for collection extra payment for retesting while providing a test environment that sets students up for failure.

As an adult who had very little driving experience and a lot of anxiety Swerve had my back from the get go. From Matt at the front desk cheering me on to my instructor. Phil was patient and supportive, . He had high expectations but always gave me the tools to meet them. Giving me lots of practical tips and tricks that helped me get passed my nervousness and trust myself. SMOG for life! Thanks Swerve!

Officer is nice. School car is super super dirty(you can notice dirt everywhere). I got allergy after using school car, even I put the mask on. Hopefully, after I reviewed this they will clean cars. For the driving test I am not quite impressed. There is details that I could not tell every single ones in one review.

Ballard location is totally horrible. That instructor just fails people without logical reasoning. Rules that aren't in rule book like moving neck are cited as reasons. Narrow one way lane is chosen for parallel park when there isn't distance enough for SUVs to park. If you check their pass records you will see that they are failing almost everyone. Wouldn't recommend!

Swerve is a good school. But we have had the hardest time getting supervised drives scheduled. And communications with them are very difficult. They don't answer the phone. They respond to voice and email slowly.

Critical:Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value We're still waiting 2 months after the classes for the drives. The communication from the office is non existent and they don't have the people to meet their obligations. This is basically a scam that takes your money.

As an adult looking to get their Permit, I was excited to be able to take the Driver Knowledge Test with Swerve. However, upon taking the test on 7/11/2021 and passing it I was informed it would be available for download that evening by 5:00pm. After two emails and two calls I finally got a call back a week later explaining "they'd already submitted it and I needed to contact the DOL." After reaching out to the DOL, I learned this morning that I have to go and physically pick it up at an office. The soonest appointment is August 19th.

I got my drivers license as an adult at Swerve Driving School's Ballard location. I did my knowledge test, lessons and driving test there. Nothing but good things to say about the customer service even though they are extremely busy. I know their schedule is full because of the backlog caused by Covid-19, but Lisa went above and beyond to try to fit me in.

My instructors Mike and Michael were very professional and easygoing. They always gave me clear instructions and highly valuable information about safe driving. I passed my driving test on the first try.

The swerve driving school of Ballard is a friendly and professional driving school. I did a 30 min warmup along with the driving test and I definitely recommend!. It's worth the money, especially if you are feeling nervous or have a phobia on driving like me. This will be the best choice to be more comfortable and confident.

Swerve Driving school is simply amazing! I utilized their services for my daughters, who were both extremely hesitant about learning to drive & a few weeks later I had amazingly eager, conscientious, & confident drivers! I highly recommend Lee & Jacki to anyone looking for lessons!

I didn't take a class here but took my road test here twice. I failed the first time, but the instructor was very specific and really helped me understand what I needed to know to pass. He walked me through afterward and even though I was frustrated, I was grateful. I took the test again one week later and it was a success. The service and time they put into learning drivers is really admirable. A good experience overall.
