I have driven with Jose. In terms of instruction, he is professional-like. However, when it comes to his attitude he is unwelcoming. For starters, he blamed my parents for not teaching me ahead of time regarding basic instruction. I agree--yes it is my fault and my parents' fault for not collaborating on this type of thing beforehand--but I do not think it is fair that he would talk about them behind their backs when he is after all the driving instructor and is paid to teach me the very thing he desired. He had no right to bash on them when he did not know why my parents could not teach me. Furthermore, he made me pay him ahead of time when the driving lesson was not even half completed. On top of that, he made me pay him after he told me to drive him to a restaurant to use a restroom. I do not know if driving instructors ask for payment during the course, but it was disorganized.What hurt me the most was that his side comments did not seem out of constructive criticism. The one engrained in my mind the most is, "Are you even sure you want to learn to drive?" How could anyone have the audacity to ask that to a hopeful, potential driver? Out of assumption, he probably said that to encourage a strong mindset for me, but I was a first time driver and was bound to make some mistakes. He does not understand that these type of words could be detrimental psychologically-speaking to others. I do not have anything against Jose, but I hope that he would be more friendly towards his students in the future. I would still recommend him as an instructor, but I wish he could reconsider his disrespectful actions.

My name is Augustine Cho, just finished my lessons with my instructor Jose and it was perfect. He taught me everything I needed to know for my drive test, I passed with only -3 points and that was for a turn I took a bit wide in the Pomona drive test. If coming to this drive school go to Jose, he is one of the best teachers I've ever had the experience driving with... He is professional and calm. Also he helped me get through the drive test even bringing me there the day of to make absolute sure I passed. I am only 16 and he scheduled the appointment for me and everything. It made getting my license a breeze.Even made extra time out of his own schedule to help me a bit more when I needed it. Overall if I hadn't gone with Jose I wouldn't have passed the first time for sure.

Jose is an Excellent Excellent Instructor! Easy to communicate, show up on time, very responsible to our child. My son first had a not so responsible instructor from other driving school which make him failed three time road test.That instructor even told my kid don't listen to your parent, they are out dated! Luckily, my girl friend referral Jose to us, who also her three kids' instructor. My son has him for 2 lesson(total 4 hours) fixing all his problems(bad habit) which he learned from the former driving school. Then he went to take another road test today and pass easily. After his lesson with Jose i can even notice his is totally change. Thank you Jose for spending even extra time practicing with him. We really appreciate it.

Thanks to drive now driving school I was able to pass my driving test with flying colors. The fact that my instructor Jose was so clear in his teachings I was able to retain ever single one of his pointers and lectures so that I could continue to practice them to prepare myself for the test itself. If you are looking for an outstanding instructor who will help you with anything u might have a question with Jose at Drive Now Driving School is the person for you.

Drive Now does not seem very professional. It seems like their contact number is someone's cell phone and not a dedicated landline to an office. Furthermore, the guy who answered the phone acted like it was a personal number and I had to ask him whether this was the driving school. He also stated that he only offers use of his vehicle for DMV's behind the wheel test for his "clients," because he "can't let just anybody drive his vehicle." Clients are those who book 6+ hours of driving instruction through him. Overall not a good vibe and it seems super selective in who they choose to take on as student drivers. Psh, plenty of other driving schools around the area, don't waste your time with this one.
