Transitions Driving Academy

I would highly recommend this establishment. I haven't taken a road test in over 10 years and scheduled a practice road test prior to my actual test, to get my license back. The tester was very professional and honest about areas of improvement but also very personable. He shared simple things to fix, that many us who having been driving for some time forget about and would actually cost us points on a test.

Thank you so much Transitions Driving Academy! Highly recommend them if you're looking for somewhere to take your road test ASAP. The staff was very friendly and patient with me as I was struggling with getting my current insurance info but they didn't rush me or anything and I appreciate that so much. The tester was also very friendly and I didn't feel as nervous as I thought I would. Thanks again!

Came in to take a driving test. I felt completely uncomfortable with the driving tester. He was very cold and had a negative vibe from the start. The road we merged into had construction, I asked to clarify the immediate right turn. He jumped and was very rude to tell me he will not repeat himself. That rough attitude is not called for. He makes you feel more nervous then neccessary.

I had a license when I lived in California, but between a hold on that license to due to an unpaid ticket, it expiring while waiting for the hold to release and not having access to a vehicle for the road test, it took me a bit to get my Texas license. Thankfully, Driving Schools are now allowed to give the test since I did not have a vehicle. I searched several schools and happend to find Transitions just a few miles away from me.

I took their 6 hour class which was a good refresher and I had them administer the road test and rented their vehicle. All instructions were clear even though my brain was busy reminding myself not to do certain things, a few times it took an extra few seconds to process! LOL! My points deductions were over small errors and a few, I felt after the fact I had done.

For instance, I stopped a bit too far and I realized I went too far too late. I am now once again a licensed driver! I do recommend them! It was a great easy process! Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Claiborne! --Sandra Longs

I took my driving test here and had a great experience. I brought my brother, my mother in law, my father in law, my husband and now I'm bringing my sister in law. Everything is so smooth and they make it so easy to schedule an appointment. I will always recommend transition driving academy. And no i didn't have to be PERFECTLY parallel parked like someone commented.

If you can't parallel park you won't pass that's it. Not once have I had a she said he said situation or anyone threatening to hurt me. All of the testers I've met are very professional and easy going. Like I said, 5 people have already tested at this location and I'm bringing a 6th one.

It is absolutely ridiculous what these people go through helping new drivers. The examiner was so very friendly and did everything within his power to make me feel comfortable with driving and the woman at the front desk was even nicer and more understanding. It must be nerve wrecking for them, as much as it is for you, to be driving with a newb. So glad I went to this school.

Extremely disappointed. The school was unprofessional In my opinion. The school was never open punctually, the placed smell of old water and the cars weren't in the best condition. the whole class time he would warn us about what would happen if you don't learn how to drive properly instead of actually teaching us how to drive properly. I was very disappointed, and no offense to the instructors who are nice people but I simply did not enjoy attending this school ALSO, you schedule driving sessions with the instructors and they give you a mock test after your sessions, however after 2 sessions (out of a total of 6 or 8) they just decided to gave me the mock exam and I couldnt have any other sessions scheduled. I honestly felt completely scammed It's been a year since I've attended and I really hoped they have stepped up their game. Definitely not worth the money.

I took a road skills test with Transitions and the whole experience, from booking the test, to taking the test, was smooth. The lady at the front desk was friendly and the examiner was very professional. I would have given 5 stars if not for a small mistake on my scorecard that ended up with me having to go back to get it sorted out, after waiting for ages at the DPS. Anyways everyone makes mistakes and they fixed it.

Terrible. Should have known because initial communications were spotty and they leave you hanging unless you keep calling. Arrived at the reserved "slot" for my daughter to take road test only to find out there were at least 4 others in front of us and only one tester. The promotions all say you will only be there 30 to 45 minutes. We were there 1.5 hrs in very crowded office entry.

Office was horribly disorganized and the lady working was brand new had no idea what she was doing. Most kids coming back from road test were failing which made my daughter nervous and when the instructor got in the car with her he just went thru all the things she could do wrong before the test. She failed by temporarily accellerating 5mph more than the speed limit on a dangerous and tricky city corner and he immediately failed her and had her stop and return from testing immediately.

She tested the next day at a place in Rowlett and got nearly a perfect score and the service was superior in every way from appt, arrival, test, departure. It did cost a little more but well worth it. I just got the serious sense that the instructor at Transitions knew the office was a mess and he was in more of a hurry to get back and resolve disastrous office issues than giving each kid a fair and reasonable and "COMPLETE" test and with as many as he overbooked on the weekends seemed like more of a revolving door weekend money grab then a legit attempt to evaluate driving readiness.

We also got lucky she failed because they had the paperwork wrong and had she passed and they sealed up for the DPS we would have wasted a trip. The other driving school corrected it. Bottom line: GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!

My nephew attended driving school here a few years ago and the instructor was excellent. He was by the book and expected them to follow the rules no fudging. Even my nephew liked working with him and learned a lot. It was much more than just teaching to the book and going through the motions. Highly recommend.
