Driversity Driving School

Honestly this has to best place around in the bay area! At first i was really nervous and all but after driving for 5 minutes with one of their instructors i was so relaxed and had an awesome time driving around! I really recommend driversity! Fantastic

Great customer service! I called to get the low down on how their driving school works. Stephanie was so helpful & kind! She answered all my question & concerns. She got an appointment set up within a week.
Thank you Stephanie for all your help!!!

My son had his first 2 hour In Car Driver Training with Patti. My son was nervous but after his session with Patti the nervous feeling went away. To be honest I had heard way too many negative reviews and feedback from other parents about other driving schools. After doing some research I went with Driversity. Patti was highly recommended by a friend/​co-​worker. I enrolled online. A few days before our appt Patti sent us an email confirmation. After today’s training I am confident I chose the right driving school. Looking forward to our next 2 hours. Thank you Patti!!!

Whatever you do, don’t chose this school. They just debited my account and cancelled my daughters lesson.
It started with her fist lesson with Diversity, which was her second behind the wheel lesson. The fist behind the wheel lesson was with a driving school out of Oakley CA of which went bankrupt. The Oakley School collect the full payment then went Bankrupt, so I was already damaged by the first driving school.
Well Diversity took my first payment and showed up for the lesson. It was one of the owners Rainy Robinson, she looked rough around the edges, but I thought she must know her stuff… well not true!
After 3 hours the showed up at the house, dropped my daughter off, and drove off. My daughter comes in the door and breaks down in tears, crying on my shoulder like her dog had died. She told me that the lady was so mean to her!!! She was making rude comments and gesturing after each honest mistake without explanation.
I had never seen Jacklyn this way before, so terrified and hurt. Jacklyn’s very first behind the wheel lesson with the Oakley Driving School went just fine and Jacklyn really liked the lady instructor. The only issue was that they went bankrupt, at least they had the moral compass to send us a certificate of completion.
I was angry at the instructor for treating my daughter so badly I immediately called and left a voice mail complaint, explaining how this old lady was rude and mean to my daughter. Who does that… who makes the lesson such a bad experience that they do not want to every go through something so horrible?
By the look at some of the other Unilocal reviews it is making sense that the issue is with Rainy Robinson.
So weeks go by and I had time to finally follow up to get the certificate for my daughter for the one lesson she did take. In doing so the receptionist apologized that Jacklyn had such a bad experience etc etc. So I decided to schedule another appointment as long as we did get the mean old lady!!! They agreed and scheduled the appointment. I paid today for the lesson that was scheduled for Sunday, the debited my account, then later that afternoon sent me a cancelation notice stating that Jacklyn’s lesson had been cancelled. The e-​mail was sent by Kathy. Then just minutes later Rainy Robinson sent me an e-​mail stating that they cancelled Jacklyn’s appointment because I called an left an abrasive message on their voice mail.
So the took my appointment, knew about my appointment, took my money, then went in for the KILL! Well my friends that is fraudulent behavior wouldn’t you say?
I hope before you consider this business you make sure you don’t get the mean lady. What a nightmare!!!
Thanks,
Randy

To begin I am a person who have been scared to drive enormously. Every where I go I will take taxis and my husband will drive me if he can. Literally, I know nothing about driving for a middle age woman.
I decided to contact Diversity Driving School. The price is reasonable/​affordable. They set me up with Cintya as my instructor. She is punctual, knowledgeable, friendly and a very good teacher. She will go beyond to teach me and gave some useful tricks on the road. Oh i forgot to mention they have really nice car and CLEAN. I toke 4 lessons in total and on the weekend with NO practice because my husband is unavailable. With so much help from my instructor that I felt ready. I decided to take a driving test at the local concord DMV. I toke my last driving lesson before my driving test. I just cannot believe I passed !!! I should wrote this post early to thank you Cyntia and how grateful I am. My life has been changed since then and I can drive every where I want with my 2 daughters to school, shopping, museums, restaurants, kids birthday party, water world etc… if you have a good instructor and eager to do so! You will reach your ultimate goal. Thank you Cyntia!

My son recently finished 4 «live days» (on site not on-​line) of classes and 3 behind the wheel sessions to validate his permit. Here’s our feedback:
The classroom instructor Jack must be awesome. I can think of nothing more boring sounding than sitting in a classroom learning about rules of the road, etc (anyone else having traffic school flashbacks?). Our son went happily every day and commented on how great Jack was. FYI the Concord site has a cinder-​block classroom, if it’s cold out bring a jacket.
Cintya was my son’s behind the wheel instructor. She was punctual, upbeat and communicative. As a parent I really appreciated her feedback about which driving skills were going well and what needed to be worked on. Our son enjoyed her and learned allot.
There was a minor bump in the road. Driversity was in the middle of a price change and we were mistakenly changed the new rate, a difference of $ 6. I contacted the office, and Rainy (the owner) called me herself to apologize and let me know that she was refunding the money.
Over all we had a very good experience with Driversity and would use them again.
