This place was very helpful in getting me a my driver's training! I had Robert as my instructor and he was great! He was very helpful in showing me how to improve my driving. He was very calm with me even when I made mistakes so I was never stressed while driving. And when I finished my training, he came by and dropped off my certificate really fast. I'm really happy that I had Robert as my instructor and now I feel especially confident for my driving test now! Read Less

I looked up local driving schools for my daughter and saw Guardian and Aloha. I called and left messages for Guardian two times without a return call. Maybe they didn't need the business? I don't know. I called Aloha and set my daughter up. It was simple, she liked the instructor, and passed her test. Read Less

My son did his driver training with Guardian. Lessons were easy to schedule, without having to wait a long time. Each lesson he saw a different instructor, and they all did a great job of teaching him and preparing him for his behind the wheel test. He passed first try and were very happy to recommend Guardian.

My son had Ruth and Josh as instructors.  Ruth was gentle and confident and gave helpful tips throughout the drive.  Josh was great as well.  They were always on time and asked me if there was anything I wanted them to focus on.  They gave him very helpful tips for the actual drive test.  My son passed his drivers test, only missing 1 point.

Two words: loved it. Guardian goes extensively through all the material you need not only just to pass the test, but to become a good driver. What made the 7 hour day classes bearable was mainly the teacher. Nick Zimmer was a phenomenal guy and an excellent teacher. He was energetic enough to make it interesting but not overwhelmingly so. A very relatable, fun guy and a lot of good stories. Of course that changes if you are a jerk to him but that's just common sense. Anyway, I recommend Guardian to ANYONE looking at drivers ed. I am 100% confident that I will pass my permit test. :D Read Less

I took behind-the-wheel driving lessons under the direction of Rose. She's a super sweet lady and very informative! She doesn't make the driving experience awkward whatsoever, and is patient to any questions that you may have about driving in general (however annoying they may be). The one big complaint I do have about the lessons is that I should get what I paid for. Each lesson is about 10-15 minutes cut short, whether it's because she's late 5 minutes or that we just end early. It's not worth paying 100 or so dollars for 1 hour and 45 minutes of driving. It's like paying $5 for a 9-inch sub at Subway. Although I love the service of Guardian, I just wished that they would stick to the 2 hour lessons to ensure the 6 hour requirement. That way, I can fully recommend Guardian driving school to others! Read Less

My son lost he's certificate and I emailed them and asked if I could get another one, they emailed me back and said they will drop it off, I was shocked, my experience with companies there are very few these days that would do that. I got home this evening and there it was on the front porch, but it wasn't just that but a DMV application to fill out before we get there tomorrow, to me that is not going the extra mile but really going over that. I wish more companies would follow there example. Thanks for all your help. I have a daughter who will be turning 15 next year and you can count on us contacting your company. Read Less
