I learnt driving with Sorin and passed the drive test after 2 months from the first time I sit behind the wheel. I was not good with my decision, I thought I could pass the test in a very short period of time, so I made drive test appointment only after 4 times of practice. Of course i failed the first time. Sorin was very patient and will always arrange time for me to practice and go test again. Being so desperate for a license, I was making drive test appointment every 1-2 weeks, and failed many times. I am not good with tests and usually cannot perform my best. But Sorin is the guy who will always believe in you and make you ready for the license. Read Less

Thank you for your service. Chase did a great job with my son. They picked him up on time and set up the appointment for DMV. They picked him up an hour early to practice and he passed his driving text. Thank u and great place to sign up for your teen. Read Less

Signed up my teenage daughter for driving instructions (6 hours) since I value my own life and sanity and was not about to get behind the wheel with her. The instructor was very patient and on time every driving session. After the first 2 hours she became very comfortable and less anxious about the driving experience and after the 6 hours I have the confidence to sit next to her as she drives. Thank you Chase!

It's a great place with a great price. I've had a driving instructor before that charged 75 dollars for 2 hours, compared to the 40 for 2 hours at Chase Driving School. The schedules made were organized, and Soren was always on time. He also always made sure to use the full 2 hours of driving, while also giving a small your of Glendale for those that aren't locals (me). Haha. I was able to pass after my first try! (: Read Less

Awesome service and awesome instructor. I was referred to the school by a friend who also used their services (teen driving). They picked up my son and within the allotted time each time (total of 3 times for 2 hours). The instructor Sorren was patient and my son actually said he was funny and the time went by relatively fast (two hours of learning to driving can be daunting). Thank you Chase for the great experience and doing the work that most parent do not want to do - that is get in the car with their teenage son! Read Less

My bf was urgently moving to another country for work and I had to get driving license within 1.5 months. I never drove before and never wanted to drive = worst driving student. Soren was such a good instructor: he was patient, made me feel comfortable (BC I was freaking out first 10min while was trying to memorize where the stop and gas pedals are), was giving very clear explanations what to do, was cool and funny - which is a plus when you have no idea what you doing, and last class I told I had to take a driving test - so he explained me everything what to expect there and we worked on tasks that are at the test. Long story short - I could take only 4 classes BC of my busy schedule and traveling - and passed from first try! He also managed to do a class that I scheduled last minute on sunday on Xmas break (luckily I live not too far from him so it helped too)And it was the cheapest classes too in the whole area.Highly recommend!

Very poor experience. Not only did they show up late for the first two appointments but, the (extremely old) instructor was talking negative about our neighborhood. He continued to degrade our neighborhood to our kid during the driving lesson. This was not much of surprise knowing the caliber of people that tend to live in Glendale. In addition, the instructor would play the stereo and pay very little attention during the driving lesson. It got so bad, the instructor even tried to get our kid to read while driving! When we called to ask for extra driving time, since the instructor continued to show up late for appointments, the extremely rude receptionist argued with us.Just another experience with disrespectful Glendale'ians who barely speak english. STAY AWAY, STAY FAR AWAY! Read Less

Three weeks ago I came to Soren with a mission; I needed my license before I went back to college. I had to pass on my first try since it would be hard to schedule another appointment in such short notice. Fortunately, he not only helped me pass, he did it at such a great price. I've had other instructors who were more expensive, wouldn't even pick me up at my house, and muttered disappointment as I, a first-time driver, drove at the busy streets of Glendale. However, Soren was completely different. He was friendly, encouraging, and funny. I felt relaxed and confident whenever I drove. I definitely recommend him to anyone learning how to drive, experienced or inexperienced. Read Less

all my high school friends took driving and traffic lessons at chase and they all passed with one try. Soo finally after years of contemplating I finally set a schedule with chase. I only have one month before my permit expired and Soren made sure that I was actually ready to take the exam[he won't make you an appointment if he knows you weren't fully ready to take the exam]. the company itself was very organized, and I like the idea of them picking you up at your place and also dropping you off where you want to be dropped off. I paid $330 for 6 hours lessons + using their car on the actual test! I know it a little bit pricey but it was totally worth it because he would make sure to help you pass the test, PLUS some of the driving school that I know charged you $500 for 6 hours and that is without the car or $250 for 4 hours and again without the car anyways you get what I mean ? sooo I would recommend this driving school! he may raised his voice when you are doing something wrong, but he is waaaay calmer to an asian parent trying to teach you how to drive LOL. ohh and I passed my driving exam with one try, on the day that my permit would expired soo yeah im really happy with this driving school.

they do what they said they do, i had an alright teacher, i did pass my test but i was in a very uncomfortable situation the day of my exam, i paid to use the instructors car, turns out he was a bit of a racist... so i wasnt sure if i should review it or not but i decided to because i mean i did pass, but there were some situations that i was uncomfortable with. Read Less

I was afraid of driving, always nervous. But my driving instructor, Soren, really helped me a lot in learning the skill, and eventually passed the actual driving test! Soren is very professional, very patient with new drivers like me. Soren was introduced to me by my uncle whose son also took the driving class. I highly recommend Chase Driving & Traffic School for those who want to learn driving the right way! Kudos to Chase! Kudos to Soren! Read Less

I have never driven a car in my life. I grew up in NYC and after 10 months of living in Los Angeles I decided that it was finally time. I scheduled an appointment for 4:00-6:00pm with I believe someone named Mar over the phone. She told me I'd be picked up at my home and could give a check to the instructor for payment.At 3:21 on the day of my first lesson, I received a phone call requesting that I start my driving lesson at 3:30 instead of 4:00. This irked me but I was just relaxing at home so agreed. I meet Soren who is immediately extremely patronizing. Soren utilizes a dual brake car which was some relief. I discovered also that he had an appointment at 5:30 with another student. I was confused about this since I had scheduled my appointment for 4:00-6:00pm. Apparently there is some lapse in communication in terms of scheduling. Soren is very brusque, does not explain things clearly (his instructions are limited to, "GO!", "More gas," "Less gas" and "Listen to me!") As someone who has literally NEVER, EVER driven a car in her life (which I made extremely clear), he did little to make me feel relaxed or comfortable. He berated me the entire time with comments such as, "You drive like a 15 year old," "Don't you see my job is so dangerous with drivers like you?" and "You do not listen to me!" He would give one instruction "More gas!" immediately followed with "Take your foot off the gas!" then would get frustrated when I took a second to respond. I understand driving is extremely difficult to teach as much of it is intuitive, but basically putting me in a car, telling me to go, assuming I know how everything is going to react to this or that amount of pressure, and then yelling at me when I DON'T know is not helpful. I spent almost the entirety of the the lesson apologizing to Soren and trying to hold back tears.The worst part came when I did not know that one had to entirely release pressure from the gas pedal during a turn AS HE DID NOT INFORM ME PRIOR. I did this which resulted in the car moving very quickly. He yelled at me to take my foot of the gas, which I did, but then he proceeded WHILE MY FOOT WAS OFF THE GAS PEDAL, TO SWAT MY LEG AS ONLOOKERS WATCHED. I was completely humiliated. I would like to reiterate that this was a dual brake car and he had absolutely no reason to touch me in the first place, but especially not after I had already taken my foot off the pedal. This was not the only time he swatted me -- at another point (in which we were in a completely pulled over, safe position with the brakes on) I could not maneuver the hand brake because I have literally never touched one before in my life. He swatted my hand away. Later, we went to pick up his 5:30 student -- a male. Soren was much calmer and patient with him which I can't help but feel like Soren's verbal and physical abuse of me was partially related to a most likely sexist view of his female students/drivers.At the end Soren said to me, "It won't be so bad next time." It should not have been bad in the first place. I felt completely dejected after my lesson and like I would never learn to drive. I hope that I can find a driving school with calmer, more patient teachers the next time. Read Less

timely and reliable service all around!  I realized my traffic school completion date was approaching quickly, I called this school and they were able to squeeze me into their class the next day!  I obtained my certificate, and was given detailed instructions on exactly what I needed to submit to complete my obligation.  I would highly recommend this school.  I have attended other schools and the service I received here was second to none!

I don't know how to rate 4.5 on the mobile app :|Soren was my driving instructor and he's a super cool dude. He's funny and he knows what he's doing. He also let's you do a lot so he's a good instructor. He just gets confusing sometimes because when he says "brake" he doesn't mean "stop" so that threw me off a couple of times, but you'll get the hang of it. He knows a lot of languages, I guess, because he kept trying to speak to me in Tagalog and Spanish a few times which was humorous. Chase is the way to go. Read Less

My Mom told me about this place and I didn't really believe that the this driving school would help me in my driving, but after 8 hours behind the wheel (considering that I have NEVER driven a car before), I passed my exam. I definitely recommend this place to learn how to drive. Thanks, Zoran. Read Less

I highly recommend this place for those looking for a behind the wheel lesson. The instructor was very kind and friendly. With only two driving lessons in a span of two weeks I was able to pass the test with only five errors. Read Less

Great place! Soran, the driving instructor I had was really cool. He's smart, he knows what he's doing, and he actually doesn't baby you and he lets you drive. He takes you to gorgeous neighborhoods and he'll really teach you how to drive. I'm 16 and I passed my test the first try. Highly recommend this place! Ask for Soran! Coolest foreign dude you'll meet Read Less

The most important way to start this review is by saying, after taking 3 hours of behind-the-wheel lessons with Chase, I got my license!In reality, I really only needed a few pointers and practice because I'd already driven 40+ hours in my lifetime... but I got what I came for, so I'm pretty happy. I'm also pretty sure it has the best prices around.I wouldn't call it a super duper pleasant experience..mostly because my instructor wasn't exactly super duper concerned with my well-being (he hummed songs as I was trying to concentrate, spoke abruptly like "GO!" "More gas now" "what are you doing?!", spoke to his friends in a language I couldn't understand and ignored me for the hours we were waiting at the DMV, told me to read from the handbook out-loud like I was in 6th grade...).Luckily, he WAS concerned about me passing the test, and did a good job of preparing me for that. We drove around the DMV's neighbourhood and he knew where the tester would take me and where all the different turns/lane switches would be and how to handle them- and he had lots of good tips to help me pass.So overall, the actual experience wasn't one to celebrate... but who needs a good time in the past when you can drive in the present?!

I've been told that I am a very skilled driver. I have never been in accidents but I do make mistakes.  This school is a great refresher course for experienced drivers who need to attend traffic school as well as excellent for people learning how to drive to prepare to get their license.  The reason being is this little gem right here on the edge of Glendale is a traffic school that does not bore you to death, and...get this...you might actually learn something!  When I went here I was refreshed to hear good and realistic traffic examples that didn't insult my intelligence, and taught me some pointers that I thought I would know before coming there but actually ended up not knowing.  The test wasn't horrendously difficult either, but I attribute that to the teacher setting up examples in a way that was easy for me to visualize.  The price was very good too.  It's really a win-win if you have to go to traffic school.  To sum it all up, I recommend this school because of their prices, customer service, and method of displaying information/curriculum.
