This review is about their driving lessons. I paid for two lessons of two hours and a half each and had two different instructors. This review is only about the second one. While the first instructor made me feel comfortable and in charge, the second one was the complete opposite. He was unable to give me clear instructions ( for example telling me "turn there" and pointing instead of telling me turn right at the light) was more interested with his phone than helping me took control of the car way too often instead of helping me be in control. I felt like i waisted two hours and half and ended up felling more stressed than i was before i started. Read Less

I can't even begin to stress how amazing this driving school is. I have very bad anxiety when it comes to driving and it has hindered me from getting my permit and my license for years now. Once I finally got my permit at the end of March in 2018, I decided it was time to see it through and finally get my license. I talked to my mother and we both decided the best option for me was driving school. We found this amazing driving school after searching around, and the fact that I could skip the DMV at the end if I passed sold me on it. I ended up taking all four of my lessons with the absolutely incredible Paul W. He was nothing but kind, respectful, and all around amazing. He knew I was scared of driving on the freeway and he decided to kill that fear on my first drive by making me drive on it. After I drove on it, the anxiety of it passed and I felt so much better about it. From then on, I really trusted him and appreciated his approach. Paul was also extremely informative. I'd give him driving scenarios or questions and he'd have extremely thorough answers. I was so happy that on my final lesson I got a full on 100 on my driving test and got my driver's license! It was an early birthday gift in itself. Paul W is the reason I've succeeded and finally made my license a reality. It made it that much more bittersweet on the final lesson. I originally dreaded my lessons due to my anxiety, but on my final lesson I realized this would be the last time I'd get to banter with Paul and learn more about driving from him. He's such a wonderful guy and I can't praise him enough. If you get the opportunity to attend this driving school, choose to drive with Paul. He'll give you everything you need to feel confident in yourself and your driving, and he'll leave a positive lasting impression! Read Less

I cannot say enough positive things about this place and my daughter's instructor, Paul! I am so extremely grateful for him and how he went above and beyond with my daughter. From the start Paul really got to know and understand my daughter's issues and worked with her to help alleviate her fears and anxiety. He tailored his teaching and made necessary adjustments to help my daughter overcome her fears not only with driving but also the added stress of driving with a stranger. He very easily could've ignored her issues, but instead managed to address them and ease her concerns. He was always extremely positive with her and always provided encouragement to her. He exercised extra patience with her and tailored his instruction to her specific needs. I could see major improvements with not only her driving skills but also her confidence in her abilities! I attribute it to Paul and his phenomenal skills! He was extremely respectful and professional with myself and my daughter and kept me in the loop throughout the whole process. He honestly went above and beyond with my daughter and I would highly recommend both him and this school if you're in need of an awesome, affordable driving school! You definitely will not be disappointed! You truly get your money's worth and then some! They do not look at your child as a number, but as an individual and tailor the training accordingly.

Had my daughter enrolled here for her driving school. She was taught by Miora. My daughter was driving with confidence and knowledge by her second lesson. Miora was great with my daughter and made her feel comfortable. Would highly recommend this school to anyone who has a daughter and needs that extra driving experience. Read Less

Good experience! The lady driver I had a was nice and professional. They text you if they are running late and the lessons are two hours long they take you to the main office to get a snack or pee break it's up to you :) it's fun not boring and the instructor and I had good conversation! Read Less

A huge thanks to Driving Instructor Bonnie! My son has some adhd issues along with anxiety, and driving with us (his parents) didn't prove to be all that helpful. Signing up with Stop and Go Driving School was the best thing we did for our son Will. When I called to find out info they were very helpful and friendly. Bonnie was a terrific instructor who had a lot of patience and guidance while driving with Will. Also, a great perk was that Will was picked up and dropped off each session! I checked out a handful of schools, and this was the best price for what you get. Give them a call. Read Less

I ended up getting the 10 hours of driving time for my daughter to learn to drive.  I found it difficult to teach her myself and she was super nervous.  My daughter felt very comfortable with her instructor and we made sure to get the same person every time.  My daughters driver was Sherry and she was so nice!  My daughter initially was so apprehensive about driving and by the end she was a confident driver and passed to get her license!  So happy I picked this driving school! Read Less

I paid for the Gold Package and then for two extra lessons.  My son still did not have the basic driving skills mastered and was not able to get his license. When I called to sign him up they said the driving classes were for beginners and cover all areas of driving.  I called to talk to the instructor and left a message and he never got back to me. This business was not being honest with me and should give me a refund. Read Less

If you see a little red Prius on the road with bold white lettering that says, "Student Driver" get out of the way!!! Okay, I'm being dramatic, because by the time these student drivers are on the roadway, they will have already received their driving permit 6 months prior, and had a good amount of time practicing their driving skills with their family and instructor. Oh! And the fact that all of their vehicles are equipped with GPS, dual brakes and mirrors, and safety sensors helps too!  Wouldn't want to send a new driver off in a car with a stranger without some type of safety restrictions in place!My husband and I chose Stop and Go Driving School for our 16 year old son because they have certified MVD instructors, a road test waiver option, and a hands on program that includes freeway driving to boot. Another great perk of choosing Stop and Go is that the instructor will even pick up and drop off your student driver for each lesson!  Our son's instructor Barry, was straightforward with our son from the start and he let him know what the expectations were going to be during his driving sessions. He promised us he would teach our son how to parallel park. He even promised to have him perform this in his driving test because he had such a great success rate with his previous students.  Let me tell you how great it felt to let someone else help us sharpen our son's driving skills. It was the best decision to do so, and it really helped to lighten the stress levels for Mom, Dad, AND son!After each lesson, Barry provided us with a recap of his progress and gave us skills to practice with our son which helped us to focus on what he really needed. On his last lesson, he scored 100% with Barry and was able to get his license that very same day! We are happy with the results and happy our son feels more confident on the road. Putting a safe driver on the road was our top priority, and thanks to Barry and Stop and Go, we know we did just that! Read Less

They are responsive and answered all my questions quickly. My ticket was dismissed within five days of my completing the course. The course was $40.The course itself was long and tedious, since it is timed. It took me aver 4 hours to complete. There are 29 chapters, each timed on average 8 minutes. After each chapter there are two questions related to the material, on which you must get 80%, and every other chapter has a personal question, which you must answer with 100% accuracy or fail the class. Being able to stop and continue this course of the phone is a welcome feature. The course contains multiple grammatical, factual, formatting, and logical errors and inconsistencies. Here are some examples:* "There were approximately 250 million registered vehicles on U.S. roadways in 2009; they drove approximately 300 trillion miles." It is actually 3 trillion miles, not 300 trillion; they are off by a factor of 100 here. If Americans drove 300 trillions miles, that would mean that each person drives 1.2 million miles per year. * "30,000 are killed each year in alcohol-related accidents." The actual number is 10,497, 28% of all traffic-related deaths (CDC 2016). * "What is your the first letter of your FIRST NAME?"* "A law was passed prohibiting a driver was entering this area."* "In an effort to reduce crashes, cameras have installed at numerous intersections throughout the state."* "If you're under 21 years of age, your minimum BAC must be 0.00."* "What is the legal blood alcohol level for someone under 21 years old?"* "Ignorance of the law is no defense. Having an empty container, being a passenger, not drinking, and not thinking are not a defense." Should be "defenses"* Video tells you to not "tune the radio" yet they say that in order to avoid getting worked up by an aggressive driver to put on your favorite music. * Different words are bolded and capitalized often in the same sentence, making intended emphasis unclear.* They say you must never exceed the speed limit, yet you must always drive at the speed of the traffic, even when it exceeds the speed limit. * They say to keep a distance of 3 seconds while driving, and one and a half car length when stopped at a light. This is impractical and is more likely to agitate other drivers and create unsafe situations. * Inconsistent Oxford Comma use. * Some of the videos are pointless, like the RENO 911! - Drunk Catwalk. Others, like those that included actual officer commentary were informative. These inaccuracies is why traffic schools have a reputation of being a waste of time and not teaching anything useful. I had not learned much that I already did not know, even after reading every word that they wrote. I doubt that taking this course will make anyone a better driver. If I am to spend four hours actually learning the material, the least they can do is hire a competent professional to proof read and fact-check the material. They probably do not have much competition, but I wish their standards for providing educational materials were higher. Read Less

My son did driving school a few weeks ago and overall it was a good experience.  I would caution to make sure you check your schedules when you sign up for the classes.  There is a fee to change driving appointments if not done in a timely manner.  I had an emergency.  Overall would definitely recommend and thank you for the reminders of scheduled drive times.  Instructors were great too! Read Less

The in car training was good for my child, the cost was a bit high was he took the 'gold' class for $550 but I didn't have to deal with the DMV. he also took the 'alive at 25' for a discount. My only real complaint is RAY the instructor kept calling to change the scheduled time to fit his own schedule. So if we booked 3-5 for driving Ray would call the night before to confirm and say 'my schedule works better if I show up at 230- ok?' well no not really because we booked for 3-5- then Ray would want me to explain why. Really? simply because I have it scheduled for 3-5 thats why!. So I finally caught on and said 'YEP- your new time is great' and and he didn't know how to respond to that. All and all it was fine, my child passed the test, received the license but there really are not any insurance discounts for this program or the 'alive at 25' class. Its a matter of convenience and me not having to teach driving or keep track of hours etc. Read Less

Google wouldn’t let me delete/edit my old 1 star 👎 I previously left a 1 Star as this place didn’t accept credit cards in their physical class but they did for their online course? So that would be my ONLY recommendation for this place but VERY NICE teacher who was a retired policemen for many years 👍🏼 If I knew his name I’d write it! He single handidly changed my feelings towards this place......That being said, I still never want to see you guys again 😉 Read Less

The receptionist Maria always has attitude , they never have any openings and they say they can work around your schedule but she didn’t even try, The owner called me afterwards though and set me up for times I needed which was great ! Read Less

I passed my road test today and wanted to give a special thank you to my instructor Christine. She is very good and helped me in improving my driving skills in regards to defensive driving. I would definitely recommend this school and christine as an instructor for all first time drivers. Read Less

Stay away from the online course. The in-person classes may have high ratings, but stay away from the online course.When I registered for the online course, I was up against a court deadline to get the class completed. After completing their registration and paying their fee, the system told me that I had to fax a copy of my ticket and driver's license before access to the online class would be granted. As I not have a scanner or fax machine, this was an issue. Why didn't the system tell me ahead of time that this was going to be required; that was my first issue.  So I called the local office and asked why this was being required of me? I was simply told that that was the process. When I expressed my dissatisfaction, I was then told that I could take a photo of these items and email them as attachment. I finally found a friend that could help me with thisThe next day, almost 24 hours later, I still had not been granted access to the course and time was running out. So I took my ticket and drivers license and went to the local office. When I gave the gal my name, she recognized it immediately - I didn't even have to show her the ticket or drivers license - and she said, "Oh yeah, we received that yesterday; I'll unlock the class for you".  She clicked a couple of buttons and that was it. What took so long?!? My guess is that I had "upset" them yesterday by expressing my dissatisfaction with their process - so they dragged out the process as long as they could. Whatever the case, it was unacceptable. I almost missed the deadline for completing the class, which meant I would have had to make a court appearance. Not acceptable. Read Less

I did a lot of research comparing driving schools in the Valley, and it paid off! You really get your money's worth with stop and go. It is so convenient that they pick up and drop off, and the instructors are amazing! I had Hector for my 1st 2 lessons. He was really patient and qualified! Then I moved across the Valley and changed to Ben, who was amazing! He really pushed me through years of driving anxiety I had developed and went above and beyond in so many ways. This place is convenient, trustworthy and awesome all around. My near-decade journey towards a license finally worked out thanks to Ben! Thanks for everything! Read Less

Attempted my permit 4 times and never got it due to anxiety. After this place I was finally able to feel more comfortable in the testing area! If you have severe anxiety with tests like me I for sure recommend this place. Read Less

Stop and Go has been a wonderful experience for our three teens. Our one son has been driving for two years, accident and ticket free. Our other two have just started driving and we feel confident in their skills! Thanks for all your hard work and kindness through this stressful time. You have eased our minds (and calmed me down). � Read Less

I had a fun and very educational experience at this driving school.   The instructor was very well-spoken, had an amazing amount of experience, and was very nice to everyone.We started on time and ended on time even with a little bit of technical difficulty.I would definitely recommend Stop and Go driving school to anyone who needs to take a class. Read Less

You will not be let down choosing Stop and Go for your driving needs. I came in as an adult driver, i was very scared and had severe anxiety when i tried to drive. I purchased the platinum plan plus an extra 3hrs and im telling you, they are the cheapest in town! From the permit instructor to the different driving instructors i had were very professional and helpful. I started back in March with my driving permit class and then had my first drive with Mark L. I 110% recommend Mark, he is very patient and pushes you enough so you can get out there and face your fears (not to the point where u want to quit). I had severe anxiety my first drive and didnt think i could do it (i had previously driven years ago but was too scared to try again due to an accident where i was a passenger). We started off slowly in residential areas and took me out to the main streets where i was the most nervous and i did it, all in 2 hrs! Fast fwd until now beginning of May my luck was i had him again for my final drive (driving test day) again he did not let me down, he calmed me down and i drove from where i live in Mesa to the Phx office on the highway! He does ask if you want to drive if not he will drive you to the testing area. I couldn't be any happier! I passed my test and got my license, (the only thing is i couldn't get my lic from the 3rd party, i had to go to the dmv an issue with my name attached to someone else), that just took extra time from me to take from work. Other than that, if i can do it so can you! Ask to be paired up with him you will not be disappointed! Can someone please tell him in just a couple days (now a week) of being licensed i am driving on my own! Stop and Go has my business forever!! Read Less

I am British and I moved to America nearly a year ago, I took a break from driving and I struggled to find the confidence to get going again and here driving on the right was very strange to start with. I found StopandGo online and found the Gold driving course was perfect for my needs as I'd done some driving but wanted to find a school that would help build my confidence. I found that being able to do the waiver at the end of the course made me feel less nervous and took t...he stress off having to go to the DMV to do the road test, my instructor Chris was a great guy and really helped build my confidence! He was patient and always early for my lessons. I'd recommend this school and its courses for anyone moving here who wishes to build their confidence or just learning to drive in general. Thanks StopandGo Driving School! Afficher la suite Read Less

We really appreciated Mike C. taking out our son Spencer for some driving and providing feedback to him and us.  He really enjoyed the instruction.  Thanks again Mike and congrats on this chapter in your life.  Also, thanks Stop and Go for the great classroom time too.  We will see you again in a couple of years.

I took a driving lesson here and the instructor was amazing � he taught me so much on this refresher course made me confident on driving on the road again after my car � accident �� Great school also when I called the office they were very polite �� Read Less

My son has been though driver safety classes with Paul and behind the wheel instruction with Volker at Stop & Go. Both instructors were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. My son commented on how much he learned and enjoyed the driver safety class and that's REALLY saying something coming from a teenager. I have recommended Stop & Go to friends any time they ask where my son received his drivers instruction. Read Less

I have to say that I have been pretty underwhelmed with the services we received, especially for the cost. The first day, the instructor was over 15 minutes late to pick my daughter up. The second day, the instructor asked to move the time half and hour to an hour earlier, but then actually showed up later than the originally scheduled time. My daughter completed her course almost 3 weeks ago and we still have no received the certificate of completion for our insurance. W...hen I called to inquire about it, I was told that it should have been given to her on her last day and that they would make a new one and havr the instructor sign it and email it to me. That was 2 weeks ago and I have heard nothing since. This company does not seem very organized or professional and I would and have recommended to friends to look elsewhere for drivers ed for their kids. Afficher la suite Read Less

My son just passed his driving test with a 100%! Driving instructor Mike C. was very patient and professional with my son. He even picked him up from his high school and then dropped him off at our house so I didn't have to make any extra trips. When my younger son is ready to take this class I will definitely use Stop and Go Traffic again. Read Less

AWESOME EXPERIENCE FOR MY SON!  OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE! Angel was an awesome instructor and worked with us to get my son his license when the deadline was approaching. He even came in on his day off!  That is superb customer service!   This is worth the money (every penny)  and I would recommend it highly to anyone who is just learning how to drive or for a student driver.

It a really responsible and reliable driving school. Every appointment and schedule goes smoothly. They also really care about every student and listen to every feedback. If you meet any problems during course, don't worry talk to them and they will try their best to solve it. My first instructor is Naya,unfortunately I didn't go very well with her and I think she miss many important part during class. Then I communicate with manager at this driving school, he is really patient and solve my problem perfectly! He offer me extra free class and send me the best instructor ,Angine, at driving school, who I would like to highly recommend!Angine is the best instructor at driving school. He is really experienceful and helpful. What's most important is that he can figure out what's most important things and key limitation for student driver and can emphasis this information at very beginning in a comfortable way. Then he will lead you practice again and again to ensure you be a good driver ! He's pace and arrangement is really reasonable, which could make you get everything during your learning program. After his one class as make up lesson, I got my license! If you want to learn quickly and safely, please go for Angine. Read Less

Glaydia was a great, calming person for our daughter to finish her last 2 lessons after a year break.Thanks for making it easy for her to get her license after being really nervous at first. Very helpful! Read Less

Mike at Stop and Go did an excellent job teaching my son to drive and build his confidence. He passed his driving test at 100%! The MVD made an error on my son's permit and he was unable to actually obtain his license that day but Mike was kind enough to follow up the next day to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend them for your teen drivers!!! Read Less

If I could give 10 stars I would.... not only is this place affordable and actually helps you be completely ready to not only pass the driving test, but to drive in real life . My instructor RYAN! was the best teacher I've ever had in life . In two 3 hour on road instructions he turned me from a nervous person who knew how to drive but made mental mistakes to a person 1000% ready and also confident that I am ready to pass the driving test . He was amazing !!!!! With a capital A!!!!!! He listened to what I needed , helped me on everything and helped me get confidence with driving .. AND THAT WAS JUST 6 hours of driving with him.. anyone looking for a driving school .. this is the place and request RYAN O. If possible because he was amazing !!!!! Thank you so much stop & Go !!!

GREAT SCHOOL, GREAT TEACHER, GREAT PEOPLE!My wife had her drivers licence in Bangkok Thailand for 8 years before she moved here to the UNITED States and I am proud to say she never had an accident with another driver. I won't even try driving in Bangkok Thailand. There are NO RULES when it comes to the road. Nobody signals, people cut each other off, thousands of motor-scooters like locusts flit around city traffic.The biggest challenge people from Asia experience is driving on the other side of the road. I am totally confident with my wife driving in Thailand but I was always a bit apprehensive to climb into the passenger seat with her driving in the United States so I signed her up for a course to enhance her driving skills and bring her up to USA standards. I hunted for 2 days researching Arizona Driving Schools and found STOP AND GO DRIVING SCHOOL of MESA, ARIZONA. They not only had a great rating but they also offer it to ESL people which is an added plus since my wife is not 100% fluent in English.Joe and Jan run a tight ship. They both have careers as teachers, so teaching at a driving school is second nature. My wife had a great time with her teacher as you can see in the video. Her teacher was patient and positive. My wife will continue with STOP AND GO for the full 6 hours. I highly recommend them!!!I have posted a shortened video of my wife's first drive that I wanted to document and Joe and Jan so kindly allowed me to accomplish. youtu.be/i07lCW0IRfs Read Less

Paul was such a great instructor! I've never had to take a traffic class but he made the most out of receiving a ticket.

After 1 full year of driving with 3 parents on freeways & busy streets we enrolled our daughter in the Gold program. She has test anxiety and we felt it would be a good idea to try and have the program test her over the MVD. She was successful in all of her trainings and even received 96% on her practice exam. She was then failed on a technicality that we cannot even find the answer to in the exam books. We emailed the company for answers, but never heard back. It was one and done. After spending $650 we were very disappointed and now her test anxiety is back. No thank you!!! Read Less

Great services, but I honestly could have just gotten my license through the MVD. I paid $700 and really think I could've done this on my own with studying the manual. The day I took my test was horrible. The lady had her foot on her passenger breaks the entire time I was driving. I literally was stepping on the gas as hard as I could and only went 20 miles an hour, and in the main road where the speed is 45 mph. She docked me for that and it was not really fair. Either her breaks were not going well or she stepped on her breaks while I was driving i don't know. I loved my instructor though, she made learning very fun, her name is Eileen and I recommended her to anyone!!! Read Less

This place is literally the best!!! I had gone to another driving school when I was 17 and they completely messed me up with driving and made me terrified of it. The other place was rude and put me in a defective car. Stop and go is the reason I was able to get my license and overcome my fear 4 years later. First of all they had pretty great customer service when I scheduled my drives. Then my driving instructor, Hector, was literally the best thing to ever happen! He was patient with me and eventually tricked me onto a freeway since he knew I had a huge problem with them. There was also a steady progression of the lessons, it wasn't like they forced me on a freeway my first drive. I learned so much from Hector and am a pretty good driver. So ya Hector is pretty much the best!!!! I super appreciate having the freedom of being able to drive myself!!! Read Less

I took a road lesson at a different school prior to calling Stop and Go Traffic and Driving School and what a huge difference. The prices are also awesome as they offer packages for just road lessons which is what i needed. Freddie was an awesome instructor, he gave me great tips on driving and taught me to drive better. Definitely reccomend this place!!!! Read Less
