From booking the test to going in person, everything was really smooth. Registry agents are very helpful and highly efficient. Driver Examiner David was an awesome guy and gives you relevant feedback after your test as he wants you to be a perfect driver. I failed the first attempt but I have no regrets because the feedback that I got from David was relevant to the mistakes I made, however, I went again confidently and cleared it on the second attempt. He is a perfect examiner and makes you feel comfortable during the test. All in all, this registry is highly recommended. 😊✨✨ read less

I went to Strathcona registry office the day before visiting this office , I left their office because they were impolite and not caring at all.

But, he was awesome! He makes you feel comfortable and the whole process was great and he marked extremely fair. Huge props to this guy! I appreciated every single minute of it. His directions were clear and concise. And he made you feel super comfortable, easing any anxiety you have about the test. He explains things exceptionally and provides good feedback at the end. The other place I went to was Windermere Registry and it was awful. If you are deciding between the two, definitely pick this one!

The Filipino lady on the reception desk was also super good! She provides exceptional service and talks to you and asks about regular everyday things which is really kind to do.

I enjoyed my time at this place, it will be go-to registry! Great from start to finish! Professionalism and courtesy is top-notch in all factors. 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
