I had a good experience with the driver instructor Jose. He really is the best man to pick when you take your road test. Thank you and may GOD always bless you and your family.

I had been practicing driving for so long and I was very excited to finally aquire my license. I walked in so nervous. I used their walk in drivers test service. No wait. The man at the counter was very friendly and helped me relax. He gave me many helpful tips and some water. I met my proctor Ben. He was incredible. Super friendly. He could tell I was tense and quickly destroyed my fears. He was super amiable and helpful. He talked me through the whole test and made sure I knew where I was going and all the maneuvers I had to perform. My first try I passed. I would recommend this highly to everyone. Especially Ben. He was incredible. $70.00 well spent. Read Less

I went to this place twice and failed both times. I understand I still need some practise to become a safe driver but I would like to leave my review about the expirience with this company. First test the instructer who tested me was a nice lady and she made me very comfortable and confident. I actually could not pass by just a point and over all was so happy with her that I booked another try in a week. It is more expensive than the DMV but they are open on a Saturday AND you dont need an appointment so I went for it. However my 2nd expirience was bad. First I was told that I did not pass my parallel parking last time- which was not true because the lady instructor told me I did a good job on it. Second I did not get the man who was going to test me but he was very unprofesional. He looked at my papers and made a comment about me not passing the first time. Then because I was using my personal car he made a comment about it not working well in reverse- his comment was that the car must not like me. When he inspected my car he did not do the same sort of inspection as the lady did the week before. On the parralel parking he did not ask the same requests as the lady did the week before. I do believe that the test needs to be performed the same way and not have changes in what you are asked to do. Also when we were leaving the parking lot he asked me to do a left turn on road. I waited for a proper gap in traffic and when I took the turn he yelled that i did not wait long enough and grabbed my wheel off my hands making me loose control over the car. I deffiently used my mirrors and also did not hear anyone blowing their horn at me but lets assume it was my mistake. From that point forward he basically did not perform the test. He did not say I failed and ask me to go back but he made me go trough the same rout like the lady did except I know he was not paying attention at my driving because I was going trough a school zone and I slowed my speed and he asked me why I am slowing down. He also did not take any notes of my driving at all. When we returned at the office I got out of the car he did not even take the time to look trough the score or tell me why I failed (although I know he failed me for that turn). All he said is- try again next week and also he tried offering me their short class with a road test in the end for $300. Over all it made me feel like he did not do a good job explaining to me. Did unecessary comments and tried to basically sell me their services in the end. I already spent $150 so i dont plan on spending $300 more with the same place. Thank you very much. If you decide to choose this company I would reccomand you book your test and request their female instructor for it. Otherwise you may end up with a rude employee who fails you without explaining much. So 3 stars from me because of the female instructor otherwise it would have been one. Good luck to all of you.

I stopped by to do the road test with no prior appointment and was on the road in 10 minutes! The girl who was testing me was very nice, easy to talk to and gave me clear directions. The test took about 25 minutes and I passed! Even though I ran over a curb while trying to back out of the parking lot due to being extremely nervous - I still passed! I definitely recommend this school to take your road test at because I had a great experience with them! Be careful on the roads! ;) Read Less
