Lambton Driving Academy - Sarnia, Ontario

Lambton Driving Academy is hands down the best driving school! Their website is clear and well-structured, and the professionalism they showed was impressive. I had the pleasure of learning from the excellent instructor, Erwin Pavliscak, whose guidance and patience were exceptional. Thanks to their top-notch training, I aced my G license exam on the first try! I highly recommend Lambton Driving Academy to everyone. Thank you for everything!

Had a great experience with Lambton Driving Academy. My son’s driving instructor was Jamie and he was great! My son felt very comfortable. Jamie provided a lot of feedback and really boosted his confidence.
I felt communication was open and my emails / questions were always answered quickly.

Highly recommend

I had a pleasant experience here.After failing my G2 drive test twice with classes from a different driving school it became impossible for me to pass my G2 drive test.

With just 5 drive classes (10hours) at Lambton driving academy and a very patient instructor I was able to regain my confidence back and I passed my drive test.

Sean was very patient and understanding. He prepared me not just for the road test but to be a good driver in Canada. He took me to the 402 even though it’s not part of the G2 test and answered all my questions whenever I had any.

I would recommend Lambton driving academy coming from someone who has used a different driving school.

My son's experience with the second instructor has significantly improved from the first in car instructor he had. I realize that if students and parents don't communicate issues with an instructor, it will be difficult to address issues. I believe there are one or two more sessions required to complete his program, it sure has been a long ride. Most of the delays were completely out of any of our control.

I will say that I can now confidently recommend Lambton Driving Academy to anyone who is interested. Our overall experience wasn't perfect, but you have stepped up as you were able to address issues. Therefore, the 4 out of 5 stars.

To date, our experience with Lambton Driving Academy has not been great. The "in class" portion was done online due to Covid. Our issues are not with this.
The instructor that is assigned to my son does not communicate well. He is also not very engaging. We are far less than pleased with the progress so far. I am hopeful that we can sort these issues out with a different instructor assigned to my son. The response to this review as well as the email being sent shortly will determine whether I give more stars at completion of the course.
I have more children that will need drivers ed. At this point, we won't be choosing Lambton Driving Academy. Let's get this resolved and put your school back in the running.

Reponse: Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comments. I have adjusted my rating. I hope to be able to end on a good note with a higher rating yet.
All the best to the first instructor, Covid has certainly made some things difficult and those difficulties only seem to be increasing.

My experience with my instructor was nothing extraordinary as the bulk of the rules of the road were told to me after a mistake was made and never how to prevent a mistake. Unfortunately this was a constant occurrence. Some of my lessons were during my lunch break while I was at school and on occasion my instructor would not show up and would message me later in the day that they were busy with other students. I would also like to note that on other occasions, I was asked to start my lesson hours early, and when I would explained my situation, a reply message would be sent to me after my lesson should have ended. I would also like to address the constant harassment I would receive after I completed my ten lessons (which seem to take forever when they book you for one lesson every week) to pay a late fee which I gave more than 24 hr notice for. Even though the in class experience (simulator) was decent, I would like to stress to anyone whom is looking to make a decision on driving schools that the in class is not what you are paying for. Overall, this post is not a recommendation for anyone choosing a driving school, but my experience with the school.

I would also like to add that I passed my G2 test on my first try, but was thanks to practice with my father, not the driving school.

Absolutely loved my experience. From the in class content that covers everything you need to know to not only just pass your test, but to be a better driver, and eco friendly driver and actually give you good tips on owning a car. The simulation is honestly one of the best components of the course as it really helps with real world scenarios, like a tire blow out, snow, rain, pedestrians who don't wait for the light to change before crossing and more. As for the time in the car, they'll even take you on the 402 to get you acquainted with it, even though it isn't a part of the g2 road test, and they do it just to give you a brief on how to be a better driver on the 402 without any hesitation and help you when you're tested for your full g as they take you on the 402. 10/10 would recommend it to everyone. Absolutely worth it.

Definitely made the right choice with this driving school. Wonderful and kind instructors with so much knowledge to share. I learned a lot in the in class instructions that many of my peers didnt learn at other driving schools in our area. The simulator was fun and realistic when it came to actual practice. Absolutely reccomend.
