Best decision to go with West Coast Driving school. I'm a bit late for writing this review as I passed my driving exam more than a month ago. Gabby was very patient, accomodating and flexible with my schedule. She did a really great job as my instructor. Before my driving exam, I had a 2-hour practice around the area, gave me multiple tips how the examiner is going to judge your driving. I'm now more confident on the road and I wouldn't have passed the exam without Gabby's help. Definitely recommended! Read Less

George was an amazing instructor for my son, and was gracious enough to give me updates on my son's progress everyday. He's very honest, and even tried to refund me and cancel 2 of my son's lessons, because he felt his driving was very good. I appreciated his honesty, but continued with all the lessons, because George taught my son things, that I would not have thought to bring up during our driving sessions. I highly recommend this driving school, and particularly George as the instructor. Read Less

I had my daughter first go with another local driving school. We both felt she didn't learn much from them after the 6 hrs behind the wheel. I decided to go with West Coast for another 6 hrs for her. I'm so glad I did. Jorge, the owner, was great. He was very patient, pleasant and most of all, helped her to become a better and more confident driver. They have a 96% driver's test pass rate and I'm happy to report my daughter is now part of that statistic. Read Less

For a first time David was my instructor I would say it went so so. The first two days he was over 20 minutes late and I know I was far (corona) but I mean it's his job to accommodate for that. Now he did give me back that time. But I feel like as a business it wasn't handled professionally enough. For the driving as a student for the first time a little more patience and less agitation would be helpful. I was already nervous and anxious so all I advise is PATIENCE AND A LITTLE MORE KINDER RESPECT. *Heed this warning! * Read Less

I was referred by a good friend of mine to try out Gabby for my niece.  My brother had paid a lot of money for her first driving instructor and did not work for her.  I had my niece to try out six hours with Gabby and she finally passed the driving test.  Recently, I have her younger sister who also took a driving lesson with Gabby and she also passed the driving test within six hours practiced.  Both of my nieces said very highly about Gabby.  She was very patients with them and taught them whatever they needed help. I have two more nieces are almost there to take a driving lesson and definitely will go back to seek help from Gabby.  Thank you very much for your help. Read Less

Gabby was my 4th Instructor and definitely the best one. She is kind and very professional. She would correct my mistake in a constructive way. She would chat a little but will go back to the scope of the driving topic which i appreciate. Their lessons are very reasonably priced and you really get quality lessons. What sets her apart is the mom's touch she injects in her teaching method. I liked that about her. I had my test today and passed. First try and i passed. Thanks Gabby! You are an awesome instructor!

One word: GABBY!!! :) During my 6 hour behind the wheel training with her, I have learned so many things about driving. I felt more confident after my first 2 hour lesson with her. I thought driving school would be awkward, but after having a conversation with her, I realized that Gabby is so outgoing and friendly. Definitely attend this school if you are looking to pass the DMV test or if you think you need improvement on the road. Today, I passed my DMV driving test at Norco. I had one of the hardest instructors (from what my friends have told me) and I didn't feel too nervous because of the immense preparation Gabby had for me. She is super chill and doesn't yell at you or anything when you make a mistake. I thought I was a fairly good driver, until she pointed out my mistakes. I don't feel nervous anymore driving and I really feel that you get what you pay for at this driving school. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYBODY!! Thank you so much Gabby for the endless amount of advice you have given me throughout our lesson. Read Less

God may always bless West Coast Driving School. Gabby is once in a lifetime heaven sent. I will be forever grateful to her patience and all the knowledges she shared to me about safety driving. Tons of tips and advices from Gabby were gifts I will open everytime I will go on the road. She open all the doors of opportunity for me because of the driving privilege I can have from this day as I passed my roadtest today. She was an amazing person, someone who is very passionate of helping others on how to be a better and safe driver. I strongly recommend West Coast Driving School. Every single penny is worth it for a lifetime priviledge. This school will never take advantage of making money from people who wants to learn how to drive. They put their heart while they teach. And as a result, you will love driving! You will definitely be a safe driver and disciplined as well. Read Less

Two of my kids have used this school and we've been very happy. Both have their licenses now. Most recently (about a year ago) my son drove with Jorge, who was both friendly and patient, and gave him a lot of confidence in his driving abilities. He passed his behind-the-wheel test the first time. :-) Unfortunately, I'm trying to get my daughter signed up and they have had some changes, which is why I'm writing this review. Their online class no longer works, but the website isn't updated so it's hard to tell (it still allowed me to pay). Their price has gone up - used to be $199 for online and behind-the-wheel combined, now they no longer offer the online class and the behind-the-wheel is $220 by itself. However, we liked Jorge so much that I'm going to try to find an inexpensive online class for my daughter to take so I can still have her take the behind-the-wheel training with him. I do highly recommend Jorge, but just be aware that they don't have the online class and the website is out-of-date. Read Less

This review is for Miss Gabby. She is amazing and the most helpful teacher I've ever met. I had problem with driving, nervous and scared of driving. In the first lesson, Gabby helped me overcome it, both emotionally and physically. Every time I made a mistake, she never blamed me or make fun of me or raise her voice. Instead, she patiently taught me how to make the movement and make me practice more times. She is fun, skillful, patient and just so so nice. I can't say enough about it.  I thought I would never pass the exam, but I pass! Yeah! Thanks Gabby Read Less

If anyone is looking for a driving instructor I highly recommend Gabby! Today I took my drivers test and passed! Gabby is so patient and attentive. She doesn't startle you or raise her voice when you make a mistake. She kindly corrects you and has you go back and try again until you get it done right! I was always a nervous wreck when others would try to teach me how to drive, but within the first hour of being instructed by Gabby I already felt an improvement and confidence with my driving skills! I took 3 classes, two hours each. She gave me the option of my last class being taken the day of my test that way I can get somepractice in and ease my nerves before moving onto my test. It really helped! Now I am officially a licensed driver! Read Less

This is a wonderful driving school! I was initially very nervous about driving, but Gabby was so patient! She was extremely helpful and informative about the rules of the road as well as the driving test!Expect to get behind the wheel right from the get go on your first session. It may seem intimidating at first, but the instructor will guide you through the process! Besides having your instructor pick you up, you may also find yourself having to drive home the student who had been having their lesson before you. This is a great way for getting accustomed to having more people inside the car.And don't be afraid to ask them any questions you might have about street rules and/or the driving test! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn behind-the-wheel! You'll get the hang of driving in no time! Read Less

I found this company based on other Yelp reviews, and am so glad that we did. My son was a hesitant driver who did not show much interest in getting his license. After just one lesson with George, he had so much confidence and was excited about learning to drive. George also communicated with us in such a professional and positive manner throughout our experience. Since my son had an appointment for his behind the wheel test at Pomona, rather than our local area, I asked if George could take him around the location prior to the test. My son opted to do this the morning of his test, and use the driving school vehicle as well. The end result...a perfect score on his driving test! And I know he is a safe and confident driver thanks to the fantastic driver traing he received at West Coast Driving School. As a teacher myself, I appreciate those like George who have a passion and talent for instructing others. I highly recommend this school! Read Less

Gabby and George were both very helpful in answering my calls and multiple questions. They happily accommodated a last minute lesson before my driving test to help boost my confidence and taught me very, very well.

I cannot recommend West Coast Driving School enough.... truly very happy with them. I hired them for a ~1.5 hour lesson + use of their vehicle for my sister's road test at the Pomona DMV for $105. George, the owner, taught my sister, and he gave her TONS of tips about how the DMV scores its points. She said that if she hadn't gotten the lesson with George, she's positive she would have failed because she wouldn't have known to look at every intersection, which is -2 points each time. Other techniques he employed to make her more aware of the speed limit and stop signs as well as when she should drive as slow as she feels comfortable with, really helped her with the road test. She only got 3 points off!WCDS also offers driver's training, 6 hours for $200, and they do offer pick up and drop off service as far west as West Covina and the Covina area. I had a great experience with them, cannot emphasize that enough, and I am grateful that I don't have to take my sister back for another road test and pay additional $$! So relieved :DTip:You should hire a car from a driving school for any road test because there are dual brake/accelerator pedals on the front passenger side. My sister's DMV road test person was able to help her during the test by speeding up or braking as needed so she didn't have any major points deducted. Read Less

He picked up my son from school took him for a couple hours showing him what to expect on the driving test and made sure my son felt comfortable driving. Highly recommend! Read Less

I had my daughter first go with another local driving school. We both felt she didn't learn much from them after the 6 hrs behind the wheel. I decided to go with West Coast for another 6 hrs for her. I'm so glad I did. Jorge, the owner, was great. He was very patient, pleasant and most of all, helped her to become a better and more confident driver. They have a 96% driver's test pass rate and I'm happy to report my daughter is now part of that statistic. Read Less

For a first time David was my instructor I would say it went so so. The first two days he was over 20 minutes late and I know I was far (corona) but I mean it's his job to accommodate for that. Now he did give me back that time. But I feel like as a business it wasn't handled professionally enough. For the driving as a student for the first time a little more patience and less agitation would be helpful.

Gabby was my 4th Instructor and definitely the best one. She is kind and very professional. She would correct my mistake in a constructive way. She would chat a little but will go back to the scope of the driving topic which i appreciate. Their lessons are very reasonably priced and you really get quality lessons. What sets her apart is the mom's touch she injects in her teaching method. I liked that about her. I had my test today and passed. First try and i passed. Thanks Gabby! You are an awesome instructor!

One word: GABBY!!! :) During my 6 hour behind the wheel training with her, I have learned so many things about driving. I felt more confident after my first 2 hour lesson with her. I thought driving school would be awkward, but after having a conversation with her, I realized that Gabby is so outgoing and friendly. Definitely attend this school if you are looking to pass the DMV test or if you think you need improvement on the road. Today, I passed my DMV driving test at Norco. I had one of the hardest instructors (from what my friends have told me) and I didn't feel too nervous because of the immense preparation Gabby had for me. She is super chill and doesn't yell at you or anything when you make a mistake. I thought I was a fairly good driver, until she pointed out my mistakes. I don't feel nervous anymore driving and I really feel that you get what you pay for at this driving school. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO EVERYBODY!! Thank you so much Gabby for the endless amount of advice you have given me throughout our lesson. Read Less

God may always bless West Coast Driving School. Gabby is once in a lifetime heaven sent. I will be forever grateful to her patience and all the knowledges she shared to me about safety driving. Tons of tips and advices from Gabby were gifts I will open everytime I will go on the road. She open all the doors of opportunity for me because of the driving privilege I can have from this day as I passed my roadtest today. She was an amazing person, someone who is very passionate of helping others on how to be a better and safe driver. I strongly recommend West Coast Driving School. Every single penny is worth it for a lifetime priviledge. This school will never take advantage of making money from people who wants to learn how to drive. They put their heart while they teach. And as a result, you will love driving! You will definitely be a safe driver and disciplined as well. Read Less

Two of my kids have used this school and we've been very happy. Both have their licenses now. Most recently (about a year ago) my son drove with Jorge, who was both friendly and patient, and gave him a lot of confidence in his driving abilities. He passed his behind-the-wheel test the first time. :-) Unfortunately, I'm trying to get my daughter signed up and they have had some changes, which is why I'm writing this review. Their online class no longer works, but the website isn't updated so it's hard to tell (it still allowed me to pay). Their price has gone up - used to be $199 for online and behind-the-wheel combined, now they no longer offer the online class and the behind-the-wheel is $220 by itself. However, we liked Jorge so much that I'm going to try to find an inexpensive online class for my daughter to take so I can still have her take the behind-the-wheel training with him. I do highly recommend Jorge, but just be aware that they don't have the online class and the website is out-of-date. Read Less

This review is for Miss Gabby. She is amazing and the most helpful teacher I've ever met. I had problem with driving, nervous and scared of driving. In the first lesson, Gabby helped me overcome it, both emotionally and physically. Every time I made a mistake, she never blamed me or make fun of me or raise her voice. Instead, she patiently taught me how to make the movement and make me practice more times. She is fun, skillful, patient and just so so nice.

She doesn't startle you or raise her voice when you make a mistake. She kindly corrects you and has you go back and try again until you get it done right! I was always a nervous wreck when others would try to teach me how to drive, but within the first hour of being instructed by Gabby I already felt an improvement and confidence with my driving skills! I took 3 classes, two hours each. She gave me the option of my last class being taken the day of my test that way I can get somepractice in and ease my nerves before moving onto my test.

This is a wonderful driving school! I was initially very nervous about driving, but Gabby was so patient! She was extremely helpful and informative about the rules of the road as well as the driving test!Expect to get behind the wheel right from the get go on your first session. It may seem intimidating at first, but the instructor will guide you through the process! Besides having your instructor pick you up, you may also find yourself having to drive home the student who had been having their lesson before you. This is a great way for getting accustomed to having more people inside the car.And don't be afraid to ask them any questions you might have about street rules and/or the driving test! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn behind-the-wheel! You'll get the hang of driving in no time! Read Less

I found this company based on other Yelp reviews, and am so glad that we did. My son was a hesitant driver who did not show much interest in getting his license. After just one lesson with George, he had so much confidence and was excited about learning to drive. George also communicated with us in such a professional and positive manner throughout our experience. Since my son had an appointment for his behind the wheel test at Pomona, rather than our local area, I asked if George could take him around the location prior to the test. My son opted to do this the morning of his test, and use the driving school vehicle as well. The end result...a perfect score on his driving test! And I know he is a safe and confident driver thanks to the fantastic driver traing he received at West Coast Driving School. As a teacher myself, I appreciate those like George who have a passion and talent for instructing others. I highly recommend this school! Read Less

I cannot recommend West Coast Driving School enough.... truly very happy with them. I hired them for a ~1.5 hour lesson + use of their vehicle for my sister's road test at the Pomona DMV for $105. George, the owner, taught my sister, and he gave her TONS of tips about how the DMV scores its points. She said that if she hadn't gotten the lesson with George, she's positive she would have failed because she wouldn't have known to look at every intersection, which is -2 points each time. Other techniques he employed to make her more aware of the speed limit and stop signs as well as when she should drive as slow as she feels comfortable with, really helped her with the road test. She only got 3 points off!WCDS also offers driver's training, 6 hours for $200, and they do offer pick up and drop off service as far west as West Covina and the Covina area. I had a great experience with them, cannot emphasize that enough, and I am grateful that I don't have to take my sister back for another road test and pay additional $$! So relieved :DTip:You should hire a car from a driving school for any road test because there are dual brake/accelerator pedals on the front passenger side. My sister's DMV road test person was able to help her during the test by speeding up or braking as needed so she didn't have any major points deducted. Read Less
