DUE TO AN INCREASED DEMAND, ANY PERSON SCHEDULING A TEST THAT DOES NOT ANSWER THEIR PHONE FOR CONFIRMATION/DEPOSIT, OR DOES NOT HAVE A VOICEMAIL BOX SETUP, OR THAT IS FULL, WILL HAVE THE APPOINTMENT CANCELED.
We charge $60 for an Auto Skills Test. Your examiner will contact you to collect payment prior to the appointment. Please be sure to leave a valid phone number with a working voicemail box. If your examiner cannot reach you, your appointment will be cancelled. 48 hour notice is required for any cancellations or changes to appointment. Bringing a vehicle that does not meet state requirements, or failure to produce all required documents will result in forfeiture of payment, and a test will not be conducted.
Please review the information below prior to booking an exam.
