Great experience

Great experience, so much so, I just enrolled my son. The classroom learning was great and the behind the wheel driving coaches were amazing. My daughter had Dana, Jessica, and Alvaro and she said they were all amazing, they gave great instructions and made her feel comfortable while driving unfamiliar streets, roads, highways, and I25. Well worth the money.

Worse place to do driving test

Worse place to do driving test. They fail people for wrongful driving instruction. Please do not go there I have heard that they fail a lot of people just to collect the fees and make you pay again for retake. She also made me drive barefoot for my test. Please don't give them your money they are a scam. And not very nice

Hello, we are sorry that you feel that way. Over 80% of test results are passes, and we offer retests at cost because we do not believe in profiting from people who do not pass. Best of luck to you.

It's a scam.

I was taught how to drive by a professional chauffeur when I was 16. I've been driving for more than a decade, have never been in an accident, or gotten a ticket - however, my license is not American and it finally expired. I had to apply for a new one here.

At the test, I drove excellently, and still this Michelle M. found ten thousand things to nitpick in order to fail me. The way she wanted me to drive was not only abnormal, but dangerous, and the arguments she gave me were false. "You didn't stop at stop signs", when I clearly did. "You didn't use your signal lights", when I always do. "You didn't check your mirrors", when I really did - what? Did she want me to slam the breaks and stick my head out the window to see?
She even had the gall to let me know that if I select "reapply" on their website, I would get a discount for my next attempt!

Clearly this is a business, and failing people is in their best interest. It may just be Michelle M., but I do not endorse this business.

Hello, we are sorry to hear that you did not pass your test. Our company's pass rate for that test is over 80%. We offer re-tests at cost, because we don't believe in profiting off people when they don't pass. Best of luck to you.

The instructor was warm

The instructor was warm, inviting, and had excellent customer service skills. He also explained the process thoroughly. Most of all, he put my teenage daughter at ease as I could tell she felt comfortable with him. Great job!

The Best One

I did driving test today, late in the day. My instructor was still awsome. Very easy to talk to, listened to me even better. She was patient actually let me finish asking a question that she must of answered a thousand times. BUT Once the seat belt goes on shes all business. She is an absolute professional. Knows her stuff inside and out, doesn't miss a thing. She takes driving safety to next level and is very sincere about it. I recieved more input and knowledge from her in 10 mins than I have spending hours online. Im glad I met her and witnessed her doing her job very well. Thank you Chelsea.

Great overall experience!

I did my driving test here. The person giving the test (Rick) was very helpful, friendly, gave clear instructions, and made the whole experience go very smoothly. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone else looking to do their driving test.
