Good driving school, they taught me a lot of tips that I didn't know even after driving for so many years. They helped me with all the pointers one needs to pay attention to in order to pass the drivers test. It's was very quick for me, I took a two hour class and actually took them to the driving test. I passed Read Less

Best driving school! Very friendly staff and teacher. They prep you well before putting you behind the wheels, they have a cutout of the drivers side of the car in the office so you can get used to the structures and motions of handling the wheel, brakes and etc before being out with nerves on the road.I passed both the written and driving test on the first try!The driving school teaches in both English and Mandarin.

Took my driving course here and I have to say their instruction is spot on. Helped me learn everything I needed to know to pass my driving test on the first try. High recommendations to this place

Worst driving school ever. Can't understand a word any of them are saying. They could care less about you passing your driving test, they just want your money. DO NOT GO HERE.

Thank you Henry.  He passed his driving test with flying colors and said he didn't think he would have done as well if he didn't take the 6-hour driving lessons with you.  You gave him a lot of pointers.  I recommend this driving school highly.  Henry showed up on time for all three appointments.  Thank you!!!

First of all, if I could give zero stars I would. They do not teach you anything, and there are no refunds. It would be one thing if my sister was taught for the entire 6 hours and still did not feel comfortable. If this was the case, we would gladly pay for more lessons. The thing is my sister paid for 6 hours worth of lessons where half of it was wasted on the instructor asking her personal questions rather than providing instructions on driving. At first, the instructor was making small talk with her, then after about an hour he kept on mumbling about his family and personal life. He then proceeded to ask about her personal life. When my sister told the instructor (who happens to be the owner of the driving school) that she preferred that he focus on teaching her instead of making small talk, the instructor was not too happy and started implying that she would not be able to pass the DMV road test because she was not able to multitask like other drivers on the road. According to him, "there are many people who can apply make-up or eat food while driving, so how come you can't multi-task while driving?" Come on, really!? What kind of driving instructor says that?? If he focused on teaching instead of chatting and giving the wrong directions (i.e. telling my sister to make a left turn while pointing to the right), she could have actually learned something and not wasted her time and money. If you are looking for a decent driving school, this is not the right place for you. If I was in my sister's shoes, and I pay you $40/hr for driving lessons, I expect driving lessons. I don't need to hear about your life, or have you asking me about mine. If you're that desperate for someone to talk to, use the $40/hr that you get from the lesson and go to a strip club. Those girls will be more than happy to listen to your sob stories. I called the driving school the next day and spoke with the wife about what happened. Her response was that the $40/hr. lesson (up to a total of 6 hours) is a package deal and that there will be no refund. She said that if we insisted on a refund, there would be a handling fee. My sister would have learned more from Forza or Gran Turismo than she did from this driving school. If you actually want to learn the rules of the road and how to drive, find a real driving school. Avoid this place like the plague. They're only here for your money. Read Less
