Hi Geof,
I wanted to let you know that Alison got her permit on Friday, 5/16 and found the written permit test to be very easy thanks to your great classroom instruction. She barely studied but completed all of the classroom prior to taking the test.
She will be calling soon schedule her on-roads.
Best regards,
Patti Wynn

We signed up for Meadows because you answered the phone (yes it is really that simple) and I didn’t have to wait a week to speak with someone (like at your competitor’s).
A suggestion – I went to the parent class last weekend but had a hard time seeing the television and I wasn’t even in the back row. May I suggest that you purchase a piece of equipment that will allow you to support the TV from a higher point on the wall so all can see. I do not know what it is called, it is an “arm” similar to those found in a hospital room and can be installed up in the corner. Thanks—Kris Tenggren

My daughter attended your school for driving lessons. I am greatful to the instructors for teaching her how to drive safely and properly. It was really great that the Road Test was at the school. Maria and the Instructors – thanks a lot for your hard work. I would recommend your school to anyone.

hey meadow’s,
i had a fun time learning to drive with you guys. classes werent boring like i thought they would be. on roads were fun as well. the only thing i would reccomend is when there is a new driver, let them drive just with a teacher cause i got pretty freaked out at time, i almost jump out of the car(not really). i’ll give the good word about you guys to my friends. Thanks

you guys are awesome. will tell everyone to go to Meadows. theres no place thats better. see you guys on the streets.

I think your instructors should get raises!
You guys were great, the program is more economical than others in the area and provides a wonderful and highly passionate staff that makes the experience not only tolerable, but worth while.
I would suggest limiting the number of students in the accelerated to a lower number, i had to take class #15 in the previous accelerated course and it was a zoo.
I also would like to add that i believe it is really fantastic that you guys offer Saturday road tests, it is the most convenient way to do this.
I would definatelly recommend this program to anyone.
Thanks for all the help!

Just wanted to thank you guys for everything. I thought learning to drive would be a huge pain, but everything went pretty smoothly and it wasn’t bad at all. I’ll be sure to recommend Meadows to people who need to go to driving school. Thanks again.

In this day and age when customer service is rapidly becoming a thing of the past, it is a pleasure to be able to recommend Meadows Driving School and particularly Maria who is not only consistently friendly and informative but endlessly patient (without ever indicating that it might be a chore!). I am delighted to recommend Meadows Driving School.

i just wanted to say how great Meadows is! all of the drivers are absolutely amazing. they all made me feel really comfortable when i had my onroads. Maria’s great! she is the most patient person i’ve ever met. i’ll definitely be recommending Meadows to all my friends. thanks so much for everything.

Happy with onroads,not happy with communication with Maria.Very disappointed need to have better communication with parents.
Thank you for your comment. Please refer to our student/parent outline, wherein we specifically emphasize that it is our belief that obtaining a driver’s license is a big responsibility (a major step towards adulthood) and we strongly recommend our students schedule their own driving lessons. We ask that parents encourage the student to take this responsibility.
Regarding any additional information, ie procedures for parent class, road test options, etc., our students are repeatedly informed of this information during the 30 hours of class and/or during their driving lessons. It is their responsibility to take this information with them to pass on to their parent.
However, in the event these things do not happen, we still are happy to speak directly with a parent. If a message is left, we return the telephone call.

I would just like to send my sincere thank you out to everyone i met at meadows. especially Maria who was there to answer every question i had about driving. I would also like to send my sincere thank you to Neil, Bob, Joey, Tony, and Jeff for all their help teaching me how to drive. I couldn’t have done it without you guys. Thanks again and see you on the road!

Okay, our second child just came through Meadows Driving School!
I would like to say that Maria and Geoff have been very helpful in all aspects of the licensing process. We received personal attention that most other driving schools wouldn’t provide. They went above and beyond to help our son become an educated driver and because of this, we feel comfortable with him behind the wheel.
Many thanks for your time and effort in teaching both of our children to drive properly and safely!

Maria, I just want to thank you for a great driving school experience for my son, Eric. Being able to take the week long class last August was helpful to us and it certainly helped him to obtain his permit in October. He had on-roads with a number of your staff and was very comfortable with them all. The instructors were attentive, calm and personable and they really know how to connect with the kids. Also, I was happy with my choice to have you sponsor Eric for his road test. He was familiar with the vehicle and instructor. The Westfield site was great, he passed the test, got his permit stamped and drove home. No returning to the Registry – his license arrived in the mail a week later!
I would definitely recommend your driving school to our friends.

My daughter had an excellent experience learning to drive with Meadows Driving School. She felt at ease with the drivers and gladly took any constructive critisism that was offered. During one of her drives, a deer ran in front of the car and she hit it. She was obviously shaken up by the experience but Joe kept her calm and explained to her what to do in that situation. It turned out to be an exceptional learning experience for her and I was relieved that she was with a member of the driving school when it happened.
Maria and her staff have been very accomodating with guiding me through the proper steps I needed to take with scheduling appointments and setting up the road test. I only wish Meadows was able to provide their clients with the road test as well. These teens spend hours driving with the Meadows’ staff and form trusting, secure relationships with them. It’s ashame that they can’t complete their final endeavor with Meadows Driving School instead of going through the registry.
I have two more children and will, without hesitation, send them to Meadows Driving School as well!

Maria and Geof, Thank you very much for making Jordan’s experience with your driving school a memorable one. The excellent on roads and instructors made for a very good learning experience. Even when he broke his thumb you were so helpful in rearranging his on roads without a problem. Although he was nervous going for his test, he knew he was well prepared and passed with out a problem.
Thanks for being there to answer all my questions (and there were many).
