My girlfriend planned her test out 3 weeks in advance. An already named associate has received 1 star ratings for poor attention skills decides that she can't wake up in time for our driving test. Not only did my girlfriend out of work for this , she had been planning it for 3 weeks!! Hello. So many reasons not to go here: 1. No call a few days before the test or even the day before confirming appointment 2.only after we called did we receive a response saying : umm our car's brakes are worn and our associate has a hard time getting up in the morning appointments. Everyone has life to deal with. Sure I've missed work too - but do not be in this business if you are unreliable. It is different calling out sick for a job than one where another person has their entire days/months plan put on hold depending upon you to be there. This establishment - despite being less expensive than others has shown to be unreliable. Hopefully you are reading these reviews clients before booking. And to management- i hope you are reading these reviews and taking them seriously to improve your poor poor customer service. Read Less

However the owner saw that I had called (caller ID) and returned my call.  While they do not do traffic school she was kind enough ask what city I am in and to refer me to city hall!!

I still remember the driving instructor used her phone all the time if im not mistaken her name was Ana. Not paying attention to me. I almost hit a car while shes busy using her phone also on that entire class she went somewhere to buy lunch. Why i enrolled in this driving school in the first place. Its bec i wanted to learn how to drive safely. I really felt that i wasted my money enrolling in this school. Sorry to say this but everytime i think back on those day that is what it reminded me.Read Less

I sent my grand-daughter to this school. The driver on two of the 3 days had her run his errands and get himself food.  He told her "you are ready, no problem"She failed three times, first time was her faultBut she was not ready, they didn't teach her anything she needed in order to past the driving test.  No smooth lane changes, not how to determine she is behind lines she should be. To keep looking in her mirrors etc.SAD so much money and all i have is a crying grandchild Read Less

I liked my instructor Jason, he made me feel confident about driving and was laid back so it didn't really feel like I was being yelled at or lectured, so it made me feel relaxed and learned more that way. But that's the only good thing I can say about this school. Emily is very kind and all, but very unorganized and unprofessional. My last driving practice was canceled and rescheduled with another instructor who was rude, sarcastic, and discouraging. On the day of my test, they didn't even call to make sure I was renting their school car and we called a week and days prior to my exam and nobody was picking up. Why would the customer be held responsible for "double checking" if we're going to rent out the car or not? Are you kidding me? Next time, if someone tells you they'll rent out your car and told you several times when and what time their driving test is, YOU double check. We aren't responsible if we told you were renting it out and didn't say that we weren't going to, YOU check that. NOT US. Save your money, go to a school where they actually care if you pass or not.

All three kids went to Emily's school (E&M) and all three passed the test the first time. One more kid to go who will definitely be going back to Emily. She makes sure that they LEARN and understand what will be on the test. And it is very reasonably priced - cheaper than other places around. Read Less

This place isn't worth the time. I had to call 4 times to finally get an answer. I said I was interested in booking a lesson and renting their car for the driving test, and the lady just said "aaaah....no." followed by silence. No explanation, nothing. When I finally said "Excuse me?" she just said "I only have 1 instructor. He doesnt live in Torrance, so no drivers tests."What's the point of having a driving school that advertises car rentals when you're only instructor doesnt want to do them? Read Less
