The staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating, making me feel at ease before the test. The examiner David was professional and calm, creating a comfortable environment so I could drive without being nervous. The whole process was smooth, and I'm thrilled to have passed my road test here. I highly recommend Riverbend Registry for anyone looking for a successful and stress-free road test experience. Thank you for helping me achieve this milestone! read less

I went in and asked them to look over my car about a week early to make sure that it was acceptable to use for my test, which gave me some peace of mind. The cost of the test was less than expected, only about $93 (I had read that some locations charged about 150 for the test). For the test itself it was about 20 minutes long and was pretty straightforward, mostly just following directions as they're given and then you make choices about right of way and navigating to follow the directions. I practiced driving in the area several times before the test to get more comfortable and know what to expect from the roads and found the neighbourhood to be beautiful and have lots to play around with. The neighborhoods around the registry have good curbs and lots of good spots for parallel parking practice if you want to practice beforehand. The hills in the area are a mix of fairly shallow and steep in terms of hill parking, so you will have options to practice different kinds of slopes. There is also both angle parking and perpendicular parking spots in the parking lot so you have some good options before and after the test. In the debrief discussion after the test, the point deductions that I received seemed fair, and the examiner gave feedback for each of the deductions and listened to my explanations as well. The examiner explained what to expect from the test process, answered all my questions before we started the test, and did not seem rushed, so ask as many questions as you need so you feel prepared to start. The registry was a bit busy (but comparable to other registries that I have been to, so this is as expected) and the staff all were very nice and friendly regardless. After you book your exam the system suggests you arrive half an hour early to your test time, and I do suggest doing that as you will need to wait in line and don't want to be stressed about starting late. Overall I had a good experience, and it was one of the registries recommended by my driver school instructor in terms of being a good location (lots of residential areas and not too many major roads). read less

Recently, I went for my full class 5 license, and the experience was great. David, the instructor who took me for the test, was good, firm, and great with explaining the concepts about driving. Anyone who gets him as their instructor should consider themselves lucky. read less

The registry has plenty of seating for those that cannot stand for long and the staff was courteous in helping us quickly with our paperwork. They worked efficiently, all while catering to my grandmas needs. I would definitely recommend this location, thanks! read less

I took my road test here and I can say I am not a fan of the instructor. I chose this location because his reviews were pretty good and I live near the area, but from start to finish my experience with him was not great.
If you are looking for an instructor who will make you feel at ease during your road test, and not make you feel stupid, then this is not the guy for you. read less
