JC's Driving School: Reviews

Negative experience: DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!! My poor sister in law came home from a driving lesson in tears. Julie was careless and made her feel more anxious than she was before. She made her feel extremely uncomfortable even though we thought she’d be more comfortable with a female instructor than a male. There are so many great driving schools in the Fraser Coast and this is NOT one of them!!! Please save your children from the tears and anxiety and book somewhere else!

Positive experience: Julie has a different way of teaching but I appreciate it. I needed to pass my exam same day I had my lesson with her and she did her best. She was with me from start to finish. I only asked for an hour lesson to show me around the area but she did the extra mile. She waited for me until I am done with my exam until I got my license receipt.

Fantastic experience: Thorough advice and directly communicated issues as they arose. Excellent for Learners who want immediate direction and instruction.

Negative experience: One of the worse driving schools. And the female teacher Julie I believe her name is, is a horrible person. Would NOT recommend what so ever unless you wanna get yelled at and degraded over nothing you have done wrong

Negative experience: Maybe learn how to be a decent human being as well as refreshing yourself on your driving laws before you verbally and emotionally attack autistic people that you're supposed to be teaching

Negative experience: Anyone who is willing to publicly shame people on their reviews is not professional enough to be running a business. Also, as a driving instructor, you should probably know the rules of the road. It is illegal to accelerate to a higher speed before reaching the speed sign. Hopefully you can find some classes in tact and professionalism (and maybe a class in rules of the road) because just reading the responses to reviews alone would make me run in the opposite direction. Yikes

Negative experience: Was looking for a driving school for my niece when I came across this page. What kind of atrocious 'business person' posts the details of people's individual drives in an attempt to shame them, especially when they're *in the wrong* (you should legally wait until even with an 80kmh sign to hit 80kmh, by law; just because you can see it doesn't mean the spot you're in is where you should be driving 80, that would be arbitrary to people with different vision and unenforceable as a law). Regardless of how well the person did, *isn't it YOUR JOB to teach them to be better*? You don't teach by verbally abusing someone; teaching happens by guidance, which requires building trust and mutual respect. The "yell at them until they shape up" mindset was, for the most part, left behind decades ago. It seems much more like this is a service where you pay the 'school' to insult and abuse you. I can't imagine how taking the time to individually castigate and snidely reveal what should be personal details of a lesson is good for business. If you're unhappy with this service and honestly express that, you're likely to be personally attacked by the owner, which is *INCREDIBLY* unprofessional. Definitely won't recommend to my sister.

Negative experience: JC'S Driving School is not an ideal driving school for learners who are anxious and need a patient instructor, I was very uncomfortable driving with the instructor as I was made to feel like I was doing horrible and didn't know how to drive at all, I passed my p's test but it was no thanks to this driving school all it achieved was putting my nerves through the roof right before my test, would not recommend!!

Hi Angela, Julie JC's Driving School, l have a review from Angela about her nerves, went through the roof, pre-drive/test drive on Friday 21/01/2022, for a driving test at 12:50pm. I started the pre-drive at 11am, lots of time before the 12:50pm driving test. Doing mirror check, shoulder check area's & pre-drive check, Mirrors & Adjustment, Head Lights/Dip, Wipers/Washers, Demister/Air Conditioning, Hazard Lights & last Seat Adjustment. Next pre-drive before Driving Test. This is Angela's second Driving Test. We left QT, with a left turn, & a left turn now on the highway, entering a 80km zone. Angela can see the 80km sign , which means 80kms speed, no we were still doing 60kms, Angela said she had to wait until we got to the sign to do 80kms, Angela also missed seeing the first 80km sign, doing 60km in a 80km zone is a test fail, lucky we are only doing a pre-drive. We are now coming up to a large roundabout, l ask for a right movement/turn, at the roundabout we did a bit of the roundabout, then Angela decided to stop the driving school car for no reason, her reason was she don't know the road rules for big roundabouts, my answer was the same rules apply small or big roundabouts. Still on the roundabout we get back to trying to finishing of our right turn, then Angela decides to do a left turn to leave the roundabout, l asked why she pulled up the driving school car to a complete stop, then l asked why she did a left to exit the roundabout, both the stop & the left turn, Angela could give me no reason why. So we now have 2 more Critical Driving Errors. Finding a place to do a U turn, to go back to the roundabout to finish of the roundabout. We are now doing a left to go down the ramp to the highway, l asked for a shoulder check at the top of the ramp, Angela didn't attempt to do her shoulder check, l asked 3 times as we were going down the ramp, then at the bottom of the ramp, finally Angela did a shoulder check too late, the car that l was watching was right behind us, Angela didn't stop, just drove out in front of that vehicle that was going at least 80kms, this was other critical driving error, at this stage of this Driving lesson l'm getting a bit up tight. So l asked driving lessons, how many did you do in total 16 lessons, so l asked what did they teach you. So far all of what has happened are all critical driving errors. I'm getting a little up tight. My left Wing Mirror is set up so No need to drive next to the centre of the road but we did on a right bend, which was repeated during this pre-drive. I think this is enough, my nerves are a bit shoot by this time in the lesson. And the reason why I got the call to help Angela, the other driving school had double booked their lessons, Angela needed to find someone else. If l got a bit uptight than this is why worried about my driving school car going on a driving test without Me. After all of this l gave Angela extra time free to get her, her driver licence,. Did Angela pass her second driving test, that's a yes, with about 5 or 6 non critical driving errors, after all of what has happened, l really sure Angela you don't remember doing anything wrong, (What Me) cheers Julie & only 1 Star after all the critical driving errors, you made, on your lesson, all the extra time l gave you, you still got your Driver's Licence, cheers Julie

Negative experience: DON'T RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL Cancelled an appointment that was made in advance on the week of my daughter big test. Really low, didn't even care!!!!!!!!!!! She needed the experience in the area because we don't live in Maryborough and the lady didn't even care.

JC's Driving School
JC's Driving School

If this is the lady that rang with 3 driving lessons in one week, then with in 24 hours you cancelled 2 of the 3 driving lessons because your driving instructor wanted the work, now l only have 1 lesson, l also needed work, did you feel sorry for me, NO. that l had 3 lessons than 1 lesson, so l took it on board, your instructor could now do 2 out of three lesson. He could now do the three driving lesson in a new area, then you don't need me, all learner's if they are ready for a driving test, they are ready for all new area, regards Julie

Bonnie Allen 7 years ago

Negative experience: Would not recomend as a driving instructor. I was a nervous driver and she INFLATED that issue. She taught me a little bit, but not enough to justify the amount of money I spent with her (6 lessons 1.5hr $87). She flat out told me I would not pass and for the record I passed with a clean sheet. Advice I would give anyone SHOP around for your driving instructor and dont be afraid to sack them.

Hi Bonnie Julie JC's Driving School here, l have the dates of your driving lessons, 9 in all, 8 out of the 9 were, 1 hour 30 minutes @ $85.00, each lesson was discount from $97.50 to $85, a saving of $90.00, you also had the free keys2drive lesson which your father attended, with that 1 hour 30minute , the test time is only 1/3 in time, a 35 minute test drive, if the traffic is good, then the test is easy, thanks for the review, it isn't easy to please everyone, when you are talking about marking a test sheet, Cheers Julie
