Amazing driving school.No words to describe about how incredible and very proffessional drivers training school. I failed many times because i went to other driving schools and what a waste of money but with Wallace driving school is incredible and just for a few lessons i passed my road test with Wallace and Steve Wallace himself congratulates me personally. I am glad i went to Wallace Driving School what a huge difference from other driving schools. Their advice and help was very useful. Again, thank you to Skip,John and Rick. You guys are Awesome! I can not wait for my next training! Keep it up!
Absolutely top class instruction. Wade, my instructor, was incredibly calm and patient and explained everything thoroughly and clearly. The lessons were very relaxed and extremely helpful; I always felt comfortable asking questions. The test package (especially the warm-up before the actual test) helped so much, and after the warm-up I was completely relaxed going into my test, which I passed. They'll even give you $20 for referring a friend...although I'm still waiting for my money!
I am coming up to my second medicalexam for age driving. My first was a very exciting and confidence providing experience. I;ve driven all my life with condidence, but facing an instructor made me nervous, so I went for Wallace Driving for an hour. It was wonderful, and I came thru the I.C.B.C. test with flying colours, thanks to your lesson. Muriel F.
I took six classes, a hour and a half each. The instructors are great and very informative. The classes were always a little awkward in the beginning because I'm not much of a talker, but the instructors were really kind and quickly made me feel more comfortable. The classes gave me the confidence to be able to drive places I have never been, whereas before I would get nervous to drive in unfamiliar places. The classes fully prepared me for my N test, which I easily passed! I would highly recommend Wallace Driving School. :)
I am a senior and have been driving for about 55 years. About a year ago I heard a talk by Steve Wallace to our retirement group, so I took a refresher course. The instructor briefed and corrected me on the proper rules regarding stop-signs, shoulder checks, lane changing, merging, bicycles, and a host of other items. Many of these situations never existed when I learned to drive around the farm and on single lane gravel roads. Back then, there were no lanes to change and just trees on the sides of the road. Now I am practicing my new knowledge and being a back seat driver. Brendan Holden
I did the graduated licensing program through Wallace Driving School and it was great, they would pick me up from school and we would go out driving and I would drive myself to my house at the end. The instructors are very helpful and friendly, the lessons were always fun and informative. Great tips and tricks were given on how to do things that new drivers have difficulties with like parallel parking and reverse stall parking so that you can do it every time. I passed my N test the first time and got 6 months off my 2 years needed because I took the course. All of the instructors I had are fantastic, Wade, Brenda, and Steve. I would recommend it to anyone!
As a senior and a driver for 55 years i was surprised and worried when i received a request for a retest after i had aroutine medical at my doctors I had heard about the computer tests and as i am computer illerate i was afraid to take the test--my wife is doingl this one for me. I called the company and had a road test refresher drive and recieved a recommendation for the computer training --with help from my wife and wallis driving school --i have my license safe and my perfecet drining record intact --thanks for the patience and help
My 16 yr old daughter was very nervous for her first driving session, but she had a great time. She came back so confident with her driving with all the little pointers to look out for and Mr. Wallace's confidence in her driving boosted her maturity behind the wheel. The instructors keep the young drivers calm and in control at all times.My daughter passed her driving test with an almost perfect score. i will definitely send my other child through Wallace's school when its time.
I am sorry to say I was not impressed with the lessons I took from Wallace Driving. I found it hard to understand the maneuvers the instructor was doing, and I found it hard to make myself understood. I ended up switching to a different driving school, and had much more success. I did find the office staff to be very helpful and friendly, but unfortunately I would not recommend them.
Kari, we are glad to hear that you found a school that suited you and you found success. The owner of the school heard about the sessions you found stressful and offered to give you a free lesson with personally. ( February 2012.) We waited for your call but now know that you found another avenue to completed your licensing. Thank you for your comments, which we will use as a way to find improvements.
I had not been driving for three years (after 50 years driving in various Provinces), due to a medical restriction. I am also a senior, so it was suggested that I take a "Senior's Refresher Course". In addition I had to use Wallace's vehicles not only for the training but for my driving test as well. The instructors were very courteous, very knowledgeable and very patient if I made an error. We simply did it over until I did it right. It was a pleasure being updated and taught by the knowing instructors, throughout the course. They picked up on any old habits that I had from the past. I did get my Drivers' Licence on the first try.......... thanks to Steve & Joan Wallace and their staff. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending them to anyone who needs driving training.
I highly recommend Wallace Driving. I came late to the world of automobiles, and I am sure that due to the instruction I received here, I am a more aware and conscientious driver. I have driven with friends who have far more experience driving than I do, and I see their unsafe decisions and habits. Since I recognize these, I can avoid them (the habits, not the friends), and this is thanks to Steve and his direction of intelligent driving instructors. Besides being a driving school intent on providing proper training, they are also good folks, and really care about your success as a driver!
I had wonderful helper from the company. helped me by telling me that I am going to pass my driving test . She told me in 15 minutes saw me how I'm driving . felt I was talking to one of a friend that I new. very friendly, reliable and patient. teach you what you want to know. I' m glad I went to them before my driving test. I DID PASSSSSSSSSSSSS. THANK YOU WALLACE FOR GREAT STAFF AND GOD BLESS
I had a very positive experience with Wallace driving school. My instructor Brenda was the best! She was patient, knowledgeable and full of encouragement. She prepared me for everything that was on my N test. The class lessons were outstanding, and I would highly recommend attending either the car or class lessons to anybody who would like to become a more confident and skilled driver. The instruction I received at Wallace driving school gave me the ability to pass my driving test with ease in a low stress, fun environment. Thanks Steve, I love driving!
After 20 years of driving automatic, I learned to drive manual transmission with Steve Wallace. Not only did I receive expert and experienced driving instruction; but I benefited from the generosity of Joan and Steve Wallace who went out of their way to encourage and support me. Their advice and example improved my self-confidence; and also, I trust, the safety and courtesy of my driving.
Short but simple response from me; both Brenda and Steeve were amazing. I now feel confident on the road and went into the test feeling very prepared. Highly recommend Wallace Driving School!!
Wallace Driving School taught me a lot about driving inside and outside of the car. I found the in class lessons very helpful and I learned a lot about the rules of the road, and I felt confident when I proceeded to drive after I finished the classes. The lessons in the car were also very helpful, as I learned a lot about using the car and actual driving. The instructor I was working with was very patient and helpful, and I left those lessons feeling confident about my ability to drive.
I found the instructor very nice and personable, great company! I took 4 lessons and passed my N driving test easily. They make it so you are not nervous and you know exactly what to expect on the driving test. I highly recommend Wallace. (My instructors name was Wade)
Everyone was very nice and actually care about improving your driving. As a 16 year old, they've made me feel more comfortable driving and hopefully will pass my N test!
I would recommend Wallace Driving School to anyone.
Excellent! I had a great time working with the instructors from Wallace Driving School. The lessons were always interesting, informative and fun. I felt confident going into my road test and I got my N on the first try! I would definitely recommend Wallace Driving School!
I was over 80 years old and approaching my first medical driver's examination. I felt that I was a relatively careful and good driver, but constant criticism from a daughter gave me doubts. A friend had told me how good Brenda was as an instructor for Wallace Driving School, so I signed up. My Senior's Assessment Class was one of the best investments I have ever made. It gave me new confidence, many helpful tips, and was a thoroughly pleasant experience. I highly recommend a driving class for everyone. After my class I became aware of the huge number of bad drivers in Victoria. Steve Wallace's weekly column (Times Colonist) on Fridays is a must.
I am 29years old and have never had my drivers license, I finally got up the courage to take lessons and I am so glad I did it with Wallace driving school! My teacher Brenda was so amazing! She made me feel calm comfortable and confident! I had my license within 2 months of starting my lessons and I know I'm a better driver than I would have been thanks to her! I highly recommend this school~!
Excellent experience. First rate instructors and service. I even talked to Steve and told him I read his column every Friday in the Times Colonist. My wife passed her driving test without a hitch.I would definitely recommend the school to anyone who wants a stress less positive experience. Adrian Rees
I called the school to see if they'd help me adjust to my new, shorter, car because I was having trouble getting used to distances and parking properly. I ended up with a full lesson that was extremely valuable, refreshing my skills and providing me with lots of parking tips. Most helpful was the suggestion to purchase small stick-on mirrors for my larger side mirrors. It made the world of difference in parking. I highly recommend them.
I am an 80 year old that wanted a driving tune up - Wallace Driving School provided excellent feed back and a few tips to make ma a safer driver. As a positive side affect it also made me a more aware pedestrian. Thank you to the exteremly well trained instructor.
I attended a lesson from Wallace to shake off the rust for my class 5 road test. They were able to answer most of my questions. The questions they couldn't answer right away, they were able to get back to me eventually.
Reasonably priced, and good service. My wife attended a full instruction course and she also enjoyed the teaching here.
I would fully recommend this school for anyone who wants to become a capable, safe, and informed driver.
