TNT Driving School

My son went though the course and loved it. The instructor Bill, was great, and explained the whole process after the classroom. He did take a cigarette break but after almost 5 hours if you smoke you need to take a break. I worked with my son on what Bill taught him and he passed on the first try. It was wonderful not having to go to the RMV, for the test. They do things right.

My overall experience with TNT has been terrible.



My son attended the classroom work at the East Bridgewater location (off of Route 106). I also attended the parent class there. The class room was very dirty and had a musty, moldy odor to it. Bathroom was disgusting with profanity written everywhere.



Shortly after completing the week long classroom work, I was contacted by a rep and informed that my son was too young to take the class. I gave them my son's birth date when I signed him up, you would think they would have known that before he took the class. She said he would have to throw out his logging card and that I would have to go to the next class to get a new one, where the instructor there would fill it out for all classes. I went back to the next available class and was told he didn't have any new cards and didn't know what to do, but the instructor in the morning would know. I took the time off from work to go down the next morning and this instructor didn't have any cards and just told me to call the office. My son finally did get his logging card, however the classroom work was never filled out. Not until just before the test, and I had to call them back a third time to get it completed.



Driving and Observing work:

The driving instructor, Bill, was punctual, however my son was cut short 30 minutes on one occasion and when performing his actual driving instruction time, the instructor had my son stop at the liquor store so that he could buy some cigarettes. The cigarettes where promptly used for a "smoke break" during my son's instruction hour. This happened twice.



The instructor, Bill, uses a specific 3 step process to teach parallel parking and only 1 cone. He told my son that is how the test will be. On the day of the test there was a different TNT instructor there for practice runs and my son was taught a completely different way to park. Then the test contained two cones, for front and rear cars, which isn't how TNT teaches. My son did fail because he went 3 inches past the rear cone, what a surprise. He now has to rebook and pay the registry again and TNT wants another $75 to go thru them.



I explained our experience with them and that I was disappointed. They basically said that is how they do it and if I wanted to use them for the re-test it would be another $75. They seem to only care about the money and don't really prepare their students. I have two other children that will be of driving age and I explained we would not be back. All they said was.. "awe that's to bad".
