elite driving academy - Brighton, Colorado

The owners/ driving instructors were very professional. It was Mrs.Pippin who was with me in the actual driving test. I was nervous but she made me feel at ease. It was a good drive. I will recommend this driving school to my friends.Thank you for the experience..God bless Mr. And Mrs. PIPPIN!

100% would not recommend. Took my permit test there and failed the first time because I had to listen to the owners bickering about taking their dogs home. Anyways- anything else was good but the woman was also extremely rude to me and my father. I recommend going to any driving schools in Westminster in which the process was way smoother. And looking through these reviews to see that any negative reviews are met with an artillery of attitude instead of taking feedback how to make the business better, really shows the true colors of the owners. Save yourself trouble and time. And to respond to your comment- I’ve had friends pass but had a friend complain about talks behavior recently. Which made me look at your reviews and see it’s not a single occurrence. And also 90% sure it’s morally wrong to be airing people’s (customers) results and testing dates online- as you’ve done that multiple times as well.

Brought our daughter in for her diving test very friendly and no wait. Have very convenient hours open on Saturday so no need to miss work or school.

My daughter was very nervous and ultimately failed her test. However, she said they treated her well and they were very patient. Seems like a husband and wife team who are genuinely nice people. We will be back after correcting a few things. I do recommend this for anyone looking to take a driving test. Just a tip, have your car registration and proof of insurance ready to show. Enjoyed meeting them. Good people.

Beware of ELITE driving academy!
I highly recommend going to 1st choice driving academy instead!
Debra,
I do NOT own wagon wheel! That is Jentel Oberhill bahahahahahahaha. My name is Kimberly. You got me dead.
BUT I AM GLAD that you pointed out her unprofessionalism as well, as you are so right.
I am not sure why you assume my kids father is my husband as it is another marked unprofessional comment. When you were called and told about the short notice and that we had mistakenly waited too long- you stated it would be no problem. You said you would have to see what the schedule was like for a class close to our call date (6/7/24) but scheduled us for Friday the 14th and Weds the 19th at 9:15 and said you would get back to us. Upon texting you , in follow up - you said nobody was available before the 14th and that when we came in, you would give us our 3rd and last class date. Upon arrival you said the student was absent from a class we were never notified of and that he wasn’t scheduled for Wednesday because you forgot to put it in and now you were booked. At that point, you became frantic and started miss quoting dates and scrambling. That is when I then “Called it as I saw it” and said that it was very frustrating that it did not appear that you had it together for the amount you charge I was surprised. You did not remain calm and started the hostility, when I came back with honesty that you could not handle, you became even more unprofessional. I clearly stated in my review that I decided to give it another chance because you are one of the only schools in our area. I DID NOT POST ON FACEBOOK- QUIT identifying my kids father as me or as being my husband.
Of course you are going to reply the way you did - Because obviously you really cannot see it how it is and learn from this instead of combating it .
I feel sorry for you business owner to business owner that you are unable to handle the blessed state of busyness that pays your bills and that you think you have the right to call it as it is but when somebody else does it, you cannot handle it. I am so glad this happened because there is another driving school in Brighton that I was not aware of that charges $200 less than you do and is outstandingly professional, and on top of their game. There is an overwhelming amount of reviews that labeled this place as hostile. Please self assess and do better.

Original review: I was called rude and venomous when getting frustrated with the unprofessional behavior and unorganized structure of this very busy school. The dogs that roam here were barking so loud we couldn’t have a conversation and then the woman said I was raising my voice. I have experienced this one other time with my daughter as this is one of the only places in Brighton to go. I tried to give it another chance but am very sorry I did.

1st Choice Driving Academy @ Brighton Pavillions is hands down more professional. They are definitely more mindful of parents wallet. It's a win win.

The person in charge was curt but polite. She was great at her job. Thank you, Elite Driving Academy! Highly Recommended by me for the Brighton area.

Such an amazing experience. The instructors are extremely sweet, and made the entire experience fun, light, and less stressful. They provide great feedback, and we’re very professional.

I get test anxiety, and they made me feel very calm. Cracked a few jokes to lighten the mood.
