My instructor was awful. He showed up a half hour early, denying he was early even thought i was going off of the text he sent me. He and his car smelled so bad the entire time it was hard to concentrate. He constantly ridiculed me, saying i would never last the DMV test. He would aggressively grab my hands or the wheel no matter how fast i was going. He told me to speed constantly, saying things like, "Speed limit here 35, aim for 40." He made claims that i told him i already knew what i was doing and that i knew how to drive already, when the only contact i had had with this man prior was the making of the appointment itself, and laughed at me when i made mistakes. DONT waste your time or money, i felt unsafe and on edge the entire two hour session and immediately cancelled my others.

Worst experience driving of my whole life. For starters the guy had the heaviest accent I've ever heard which isn't inherently bad but generally when someone is teaching you something it's nice to be able to understand them. He also smelled awful and made it incredibly hard to focus on driving. The whole time, he was insulting my driving telling me I would never pass the test, and being needlessly aggressive about everything. I told him which DMV I wanted to test at, but he told me no, I want to test at the other one, and took me, someone who has never had a driving lesson in their life, to super busy streets near it at 5 o'clock. He also was encouraging me to drive recklessly, saying to go over the speed limit and change lanes immediately and when I took time to look over my shoulder he called me stupid for being too slow. Absolute nightmare, didn't learn a single thing. Don't waste your money, at $80 for the first lesson I will never do business there again and want to make sure nobody else has to go through that awful experience. Would give 0 stars if I could. Garbage driving school.

Just past my driving test today! Allen is the best driving coach. Very patient and dedicated. Always on time and always give very clear instructions. The brush up lesson before the test was so helpful! I definitely recommend anyone want to pass to do the package with the brush up class before the test. Allen even gave me an 30 mins extra class before the text without charge.

Just passed my driving test today with ZER0 mistake. This school taught me well, the owner was so patient, flexible and accommodating not to mention they have the best package in town. I will have my kids practice driving with them. Awesome instructor!

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!! I did a lot of research on many driving schools and this one was by far the best. It was 100% more affordable than the rest. They pick you up from your home and drop you off as well. It took me about 6 hours in total to learn how to drive. I went to the DMV to take my test and only got 4 small mistakes! The Examiner told me I was a great driver. If you are looking for an affordable, dedicated, hard-working driving school I 100% recommend this service.

This school was by far the best driving school and super affordable too! I got the 6hr package and the DMV service and managed to pass on my first try when taking my behind the wheel test. My only mistake was stepping on the break too hard at a stop sign but everything else was perfect! Thanks to Al now I know how to drive safely and got my license in less than 2 weeks!!! He’s punctual, nice, patient, and most importantly the best at teaching you how to drive!!!!! If you’re looking for a driving school this is the one for you even if you have zero driving experience like I did!!!! Call and make your appointment now!!!

My husband and I went to Blaze Driving School in Northridge to inquire about their driving lessons last Aug 27. Shaba explained to us the details of the charges and their rules. She also answered all our questions. Ali, the instructor, is very nice and detailed. He wants to make sure that his students will learn how to drive and pass the DMV driving test. He is very particular that we learn all traffic rules. My husband, Federico, took driving lessons with Ali for 4 hours last Aug 28 and Sept 1.. Just today, Sept 2, my husband took the driving test at DMV and passed it. Our thanks to Shaba and Ali. You're the best!

I learned everything I needed to learn to be able to pass the test at the DMV in three lessons. I had an hour of practice right before the test too which I think helped me. The price was pretty good too. I think my dad paid $200 for the training which is a lot cheaper than the rest of these driving schools charging $320 and higher. I have nothing bad to say about my instructor and this driving school.

My daughter took driver's training with a popular driving school (I won't drop any names). I paid over $350 and my daughter didn't learn much. So I decided to try to this driving school. Their price was fair. I had my daughter take three driving lessons and go to the DMV test with this driving school. She passed! The service was great!

I was not happy with my driving lessons at all. I had the same driving instructor as the previous reviewer. He has a tendency to complain and yell a lot which is not what a first time driver needs when he or she is driving. He was good at explaining my mistakes and helped me improve to some extent. However, I was incredibly disappointed and nervous when my instructor started to fall asleep while I was on the wheel. After seeing that, I never went to him again. I'm not kidding. Also, its sometimes hard to understand what he says because of his accent. It took me some time to understand what he was trying to say.
