When I first called up New Santro Motor Driving School in Feb end, to join the class, Mr Imran, the school principal, was very prompt in coming to my office. I was rather impressed that he brought the forms to my office and thought "Wow what service!"
When Imran asked me to pay up the entire amount(2300+500) upfront, I got a bit wary. So I agreed to pay up a certain amount(2300) and he agreed that balance could be paid up after 8 classes.
I started my class in Feb beginning and unluckily for me, my pregnancy developed some complications, becoz of which I was not able to continue the classes after the first class itself. I spoke to Imran that my medical condition wd not allow me to continue my classes at that time and checked if I could resume my classes a little later. He agreed.
After my miscarriage & hospitalization in March, I called him againand told him that I wd like to resume classes in April. The other problem was that I did not have my Learner’s as these guys had wrongly sent my LL to a different branch.(I had originally joined Koramangala branch and they sent the licence to Airport Rd branch)
From March end onwards started my problems. At first I did not realise that Imran was just trying to evade. Each time he wd tell me he’d send my licence to one branch or another, but it wd never be there. I spent quite a bit of my time running to Koramangala office & then to their Airport Rd office. Neither were my classes resuming nor was my LL with me.
I genuinely believed him each time he told me he missed out or forgot.I’ve been following up with him now for 3 months.
My class was finally supposed to happen this Sat & Sun but again the instructor didn’t turn up.
The situation is such that Mr Imran does not even pick my calls! I’ve told him & smsed him as well that its just gotten too much now. Mr Imran just avoids my calls!
Today morning I had to literally go around looking for cars of New Santro Driving School, flag one down, request the instructor to call Imran, and only then did he give me the instructor’s no!
After this instance, all I can say is beware of New Santro Driving School and whatever you do DON'T PAY THE AMOUNT IN ADVANCE!
