Exit Scam. Customers who paid with credit cards or checks should get in contact with their banks and request a charge back. Meanwhile law enforcement should be investigating this as a criminal matter.

My son took 1 lesson with Stanford Driving before they closed and it was clear something was amiss with the company. It took a painfully long time to schedule the apppointment and when the appointment finally rolled around, the instructor was very unprofessional. It was a terrible experience for a young driver.
After Stanford Driving School closed, I am grateful to report that my bank refunded our credit card payment in full. We have shifted our business to Bay Cities Driving School. My son had his first lesson with a first rate instructor a couple of weeks ago.
A good example of market forces at work!
