I was living in Japan where transportation is never a problem before I came to US , so meaning to say at age 33 (2015) didn't know how to drive . I had experience with other driving school but didn't work out for me due to lack of their professionalism so I tried to find another driving  school when I found Mr. Frank of EXPRESS DRIVING SCHOOL. Very good price! Excellent service !He is just AWESOME! kind , punctual , honest , very professional ! I passed the actual driving test the 1st time ! I am very grateful that I have found him .I tried to contact him again , this time for my daughter but he told me he is retired. But luckily his daughter Doreen is taking over now and she is just as AWESOME as his father! My daughter is currently taking lessons and she is enjoying it! in a few weeks she is taking her actual driving lesson and I have no doubt she's gonna make it ! I recommend this driving school . 101% satisfied ! Read Less

For a while I had been putting off getting my drivers license. Friends & family tried to help me, but I got too nervous. I decided look up some good local hands on driver training to get me prepared for my behind the wheel test. I came across "Express Driving School" and signed up for some lessons. Doreen was my instructor and was always one time for our appointment. She made me feel really comfortable with driving, and after to two days of 2-hour driving sessions with her and took my behind the wheel and got my driving license a few days ago. Totally with the price and Doreen is an excellent driving instructor. I'm 28 years old, Express Driving School definitely helped me, and got me over my fear of failing at driving. Read Less

I wanted to teach my partner to drive for first time; age 42, and from Mexico. I was terrible at it, and then found Express Driving School, WOW. After three separate two hour classes, my partner was driving EVERYWHERE, including on the freeway, and everywhere else. EDS arranged for everything at the DMV, including driving test. I was told, "I made him extremely nervous, but not Doreen." After last lesson, my partner took the driving test, only losing FOUR POINTS, when you can lose up to FIFTEEN.We were very satisfied!!!

I was browsing the web for a driving school coz I  desperately need to have a DL ASAP  & found this, reviews are great & so without hesitation I inquired & talked to Doreen & arranged a sched the earliest, I took the package with the  DMV test. I never thought Doreen will also be my instructor, I really had the instinct that she is heaven sent( having the same name with my baby girl) & she really is! Doreen is really awesome, accommodating,her patience is inimitable, I overcomemy fear of being behind-the-wheel and gain confidence through her encouragement & I WAS ABLE TO GET MY MOST COVETED DL with my first take. Thank you so much Doreen! May your business continue to grow... Keep it up Read Less

Frank is a very good driving instructor. He is very calm, very professional, and really teaches well. I booked a lesson with him and asked him to arrange my appointment at DMV. He was very patient too when we had to wait almost 2 hours at the DMV just to be tested on behind-the-wheel, didn't even charge me for that. I passed at first try with just 2 mistakes from driving maneuvers. I highly recommend him! Read Less
