Rubino’s Road Testing

Yesterday my daughter went here to take a driving test, only they moved to DEQUINDER RD BETWEEN 12 AND 13 MILE rd. Behind a church. The woman MARY who was the instructor was EXTREMELY UNKIND, rude, unclear how to back up. She would stand in the area where My daughter was supposed to back up in, cones on each side, now vision this instead of telling her to back up straight and into the area she would stay there and with both hands up directing her «back» like a man, would be flagging in an airplane. … my daughter did a great job! But the problem was she didn’t back up STRAIGHT BACK THEN PULL IT IN THE CONES like she needed to. But because the woman was a brick short of a full load!!! my daughter did as «flaged» and backed up directly to her. The woman failed her. Do not go there.

I’m guessing the people not ready for the test and failed wrote the bad reviews. I found Mary Lynn (the tester) to be VERY professional and obviously experienced. Her instructions were concise and rehearsed. Yes my daughter failed the first time, but with good reason. Passed the second time and Mary Lynn’s evaluation and suggestions afterward were dead-​on. This is the type of driver tester I want to keep new drivers off the road if they are not ready. Communication setting up the appointment over the phone was pleasant and helped us be prepared when we showed up for the appointment.

If I could give zero stars, I would! This driving school is absolutely horrible. Mary Lynn, the driving instructor, was completely rude. She WILL find ANY reason at all the fail you, & makes you feel like you’re stupid! DO NOT waste your money going here!

I called a big name road testing service and much to my son’s disappointment, the next available date for testing was a month away. Rubino’s had immediate availability, and he took his road test two days later. She had an all business demeanor and seemed very concerned that we might not show up. She called earlier in the day to confirm and again 20 minutes before our appointment to ask if we were coming and when we planned to arrive. We were there 10 minutes early. Maybe they get a lot of no shows. It was a thorough test and was slightly less expensive than other places. He passed! Warning, one more novice driver on the road!

I had my road test here and was really happy I did. The lady was very professional yet personable and her price was cheaper than others I had called. I believe she judged me fairly as well — I passed easily and she even had some suggestions to improve my driving further. All in all it was a very pleasant experience. Definitely recommend!
