Great experience! Grace seemed to know every DMV in the L.A. area. I only took the driving test rental with one warmup hour and passed the test with only 2 errors!

Booked a car and instructor for the driving test. 20 minutes before the test the instructor calls and says he just found out about my appointment and that he is not coming. Beware!

This driving school is awful! I tried to cancel my appointment with them yesterday and they did not answer then the following morning I received a call from the owner literally going off on me and calling me out of my name! Parents please be cautious with your kids attending this driving school....very threatening and unsafe! Read Less

I'm a Canadian who just moved to the states. Had to retake all the tests to get a California license. Considered renting a car for the exam but found out you could hire a car and driver from Allied Driving School AND also get some pointers on the way to the DMV. I passed with 99% this morning, and a big thank you to Juan who helped get me up to speed in such a short time! Read Less

Adriana gave me location specific critical instructions and without a doubt prepared me for the test. I would not have passed without her help. If you call to set up an appointment, ask for Adriana, amazing teacher! Read Less

It means, that I don't have opportunity use to car and feel it. As result I don't pass my test. AND MAIN REASON WHY I DIDNT PASS WAS NOT SMOOTH ACCELERATION AND NOT SMOOTH BRAKE. IT'S WAS IRRESPONSIBLE. THIS SCHOOL IS A CAUSE WHY I DIDNT PASS. AND ALSO THEY CHARGE ME $60. I'M NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL. AVOID THEM. Read Less

Couldn't even find my address for the road test service. My appointment was at 8am and he called around 7:20 saying he don't know where I'm at and blah blah blah. He was suppose to be here at 7am for an hour of practice before the test. I made an appointment 4 days ago and yesterday I called to confirm and they didn't even have my information. I gave them my info again and then this happens. I know its early but i got ready and all that too. Maybe double check the address the night before? They are probably good at what they do but not in the morning. Read Less

This school should get 10 stars, and have way more reviews.  I moved out to LA from NYC about a year ago. I took driving lessons from other schools and failed the road test twice .  Those experiences bruised my confidence so I took  a one month break.  Then I called this school and got a really positive vibe speaking to the owner.   After taking about 20 hours of driving lessons.  I took the road test this week and I finally passed!   Thanks to Raul, who is a very helpful teacher, funny and also happens to be the owner.  He explained step by step how to control the vehicle, and  everything that you will experience/deal with in sharing the road with traffic.   He is also extremely patient because I am a nervous/anxious adult in my forties who has not driven since I was a teenager. After my experience with others schools this was far more the best one and I highly recommend it. Read Less

I called Allied Driving School after I used the services of another school, whose instruction I found ineffective. Paul and Raul from Allied Driving School were outstanding instructors, respectful, and most importantly very involved and focused on my driving technique. I called them three days before my test because I realized I needed more practice. Although they were booked for the weekend, Raul agreed to make time and gave me a lesson at seven in the morning. Due to his emphasis on scanning, traffic check, and many other details, I passed my driving test today. I highly recommend this driving school without reservations. Read Less
