I called behind the wheel driving  for my sonGreg and Henry were great very professional.It worth the class.This is my 3 time with them First time was 10 years ago with my two older Kids. And 10 years later I use them again. And I probably be back for my youngest Two years from now Read Less

Please use another service for the behind the wheel training. Greg is awful! When I was learning how to drive, my mom actually had to enroll me in this program twice because the first guy never taught me anything. He would be late to pick me up, would have me take him to run his errands and wait in the car for him (like getting coffee, chips and other snacks from the gas station or even going back to the main office for him to do paperwork) and would come back early. He told me that he would take me on the freeway and never did. Huge waste of time! The second time around, the trainer actually told me that my previous instructor had taught me wrong and specifically asked if I had Greg because of it. He was still late picking me up which cause my times to be shortened but he didn't have me running around town to sit and wait for him in the car while he bought snacks. This second instructor (can't remember his name) was definitely nicer and helped my driving a lot, but for the price you pay and the fact that they continue to have someone teach that is clearly known for his shortcomings, just go somewhere else.

I am in disbelief with what happened to my daughter during her second session with "Mark"!!! The car got rear ended by another person who wasn't paying attention while on the road. Mark asked my daughter to pull to the side to switch information with the other driver. Lord & behold...this accident turns into a hit and run! Driver takes off so "Mark" tells my daughter to go after the car! Who in their right mind sends a teenager that's learning how to drive on a high speed chase?!!! This chase put my daughter in danger of having a major accident or worst by having the other driver take retaliation against her & attack them with some sort of weapon. During the chase my daughter was terrified as she was handling the steering wheel but Mark had his foot on the pedal driving 60MPH on a 30 Mile speed limit. During the chase he told my daughter not to call mom because "I would worry"!! Really???? To top it off when she finally got dropped off he didn't even have the decency to get out of the car to explain to me what happened instead, he told my daughter to explain to me what had happened because he had to rush home. I contacted their office right away and spoke to the owner Ricardo. No help what so ever! This "Mark" person still works for U-drive. Her final session was with Henry...talk about making someone insecure for her DMV test. He kept on telling her "you failed" for every little thing she would do. She has lost her self confidence behind the wheel with the experience she had with Mark & now Henry telling her "you would fail". My daughter is an outstanding driver but U-drive has taken that away from her. Please use another driving school for your children. Don't let them have the same nightmare my daughter went through. Always check your Yelp reviews and Better Business Bureau review as well. I learned my lesson the hard way. I give this driving school a minus 1! Read Less

I had a great time learning how to drive with my instructor Greg, answered all the questions I had for  him and now I feel very confident in taking my drivers test. I would definitely recommend him to a friend. Thanks Greg, keep it up! Read Less

My son had a great experience with driving lessons. I would recommend Ricardo he was very patient and nice but, I believe he is not giving lessons anymore and is getting ready to retire! When you have a student driver who is focused and ready to learn they do great and pass their test... I didn't want to go cheap on lessons they were reasonable, reputable and had good instructors so that's why my daughter now will be going there! Read Less

I went here back in 1999 for the driving service test where they teach you how to drive and pass the same day of the test and let you drive their car- I passed! Listen to the instructor. Mind you- I had alot of practice driving. I dont recommend for someone who has no concept of space around them or no concept of where or how the wheels are turned. Read Less

Greg Romero is the GOAT!!! That guy is a great instructor, he's funny, safe, and has taught me so much. Most of my friends have had him and they all passed. He's patient and makes you feel welcome and confident. Greg helped me understand signs, my lane changes, turning, and so much more. It was a great 6 hours and I'm glad I was able to learn it with Greg as my instructor. Good Luck to all other who join and remember to ask for Greg Romero! Read Less

Horrid! I would never recommend this to anyone. My expirience there was awful from the receptionist to the instructor. The receptionist was rude to both my mother and I , she did absolutely nothing to help me with a problem I had with my instructor she claimed he did nothing wrong and if anything my mother was to blame which made absolutely zero sense. In addition to the incident with the instructor he was also extremely chatty trying to make conversation with me about driving unrelated things , looking at his phone while I was behind the wheel , he didn't even give me the time I payed for . I payed for half of 6 hours and no refounds are given dispite the horrible service. And as if that where not enough my instructor cut my time short and didn't even sign my permit that says I completed 2 hours with him . Honestly , I urge everyone considering this place to spend their time and money wisely and go else where Read Less

Wish I could rate it a negative...... My niece used this service and driver instructor (Greg Romero)  was  using inappropriate/sexual language during her lessons. Beware if you are thinking about sending your teenager to this driving school. Read Less

I scheduled a session a day before my driving exam. I've been practicing with my dad for months but just to be ready and my brother said (which by the way just had his lesson with them 6months ago) that we'll go around where I would be probably driving during the test and give more tips and tell me where should I improve more.  Its $95 for a day so why don't give it a try and what do I Get ? 1. instructor was 15mins late. 2. we drove from my house to the u drive office then3. For 15-20mins He(instructor) drove around the block of DMV while discussing the road rules4.When it was my turn to drive I was expecting we drive more around same vicinity so i can be familiar of it But no. We drove away from the vicinity,  I once did the parallel parking and backing.5. then picked up his next student back to the office and its done.We started 12:45 and back in the office 2:15. He went straight at the restroom.I was waiting and thought that we are just dropping the student at the office and we drive back again around the DMV.He came back 2:25. And that was It! So I was hoping I get to drive back home. (maybe thats the 30mins left of my 2hrs) But no, the new student was the one who drove us back to my house. That was  my $95. To be honest I didn't gain anything not even a confidence. Was it worth it? No. I felt I wasted my money. I should have gone shopping at sephora I would be happier. Read Less

Both of my kids took driving lessons with this company.  Never had an issues with them.  They accommodated my kids with their driving schedules, schools, etc.  They'll pick them up from school or home.  Worth the $ to teach them instead of me.  Thanks Greg for helping my child with driving.  Would recommend. Read Less

I had Greg Romero as my driving instructor, he is super friendly and most importantly funny during my 6 hours. He told and taught me what was exactly on the driving test and what I needed to work on.  I was honestly kinda bummed on my last day because I wouldn't be able to hear his corny jokes.  Highly recommend Greg as an instructor. Read Less

I'm not the type to write a review on yelp, it's usually my go to for reading reviews only. But I feel like I have to share my great experience with instructor Greg Romero. Not only did i feel comfortable enough to ask questions to Mr. Romero, he made me feel comfortable to drive. I know that's Mr. Romero's job, to teach and instruct people to drive, but I feel Mr. Romero did a superior job of handling situations where I felt a little nervous to drive. He takes you on your own pace and doesn't rush anyone, he waits until they're comfortable to proceed. Mr. Romero has such a great personality and good heart. Seeing how he treated me and other students learning to drive I would like to say thank you to Mr. Romero for teaching me to drive. It was an absolute pleasure being instructed by him. I would without a doubt recommend my friends to be instructed by him. Read Less

I am more than happy with Henry from U drive for all the patience and encouragement you had with my son Jesus . I would highly recommend Henry from U drive to anyone that is a bit nervous, Henry not only gained my sons trust he also made him very comfortable at every lesson. Yes thanks to Henry's hard work my son is a licensed driver. I am very grateful Henry, God bless you Read Less

I don't type out reviews as much but as a person who has alot of anxiety issues and gets nervous at the drop of a hat, I would recommend this school. Henry, my wonderful and very patient  instructor, Henry has helped me alot with learning how to drive and gain more confidence in myself. I started out turning the wheel alot and braking without looking, but I can confidently say that I can drive without any of those problems.People will say that their lessons weren't worth it but I believed mine were because this is coming from a person who barely had the courage to learn how to drive and Henry gave me confidence, great tips on driving and consistently helped me work on my mistakes. You need to voice out what you feel uncomfortable with or what you feel you want to work on otherwise you'll end up not getting much out of your lessons. I definitely let Henry know what I feel like I need to work on as I took my lessons and he made it his task to see I did it well.Just now, I passed my driving test and I came out still in disbelief that I actually did it as a few months ago, I never thought I'd even pass let alone drive.This success is dedicated to my awesome driving instructor, Henry, who believed in me even when I couldn't that I can drive. Thanks Henry and U-Drive! And thanks Ricardo for the ride home, lol. Read Less

Don't ever make the mistake to come to this place and expect great customer service and customer ever being right! According to Ricardo (owner) he's right and doesn't feel he should side with any customer attempting to make a point regarding any of his employees/instructors doing wrong! All SGV consumers please stay far far away from this place if you don't like drama and would like a memorable license experience into independent driving for yourself and kids!!! Read Less

I want to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Greg as my first driving instructor who taught me last October 2014. Also thanks to Mr. Ricardo who joined me in my behind-the-wheels test at DMV Pomona. Most especially to my awesome instructor, Mr. Henry, you taught me a lot i.e. confidence, courage, alertness, values and also moral support. I had a minor errors (almost perfect) because of all the driving lessons that you taught me. It's really worthy.Now, i got my new car & enjoying my driving everywhere. I'm very grateful to all staffs of U-Drive. You are awesome & very accommodating. More power to you all. Read Less

Although my younger brother is the one taking the driving lessons, this review is in regards to the customer service and on his behalf of the negative second session.30 minutes into the second session, I get a text from my brother that he doesn't like his instructor. I found out later that the reason he was able to text me since he shouldn't be texting if he was driving was because his instructor, Henry, took a bathroom break during the lesson. I understand that people need to use the restroom from time to time, but not on someone else's time that was paid for in advance. In addition to the bathroom break, part of the session was also used to go back to the driving school office to watch a video. Again, more time wasted that wasn't actively driving or behind the wheel. My brother signed up for "driver training," not "driver education." If anything, a video would be bonus material that can be viewed during free time not during the session.Then when my brother gets back home I ask him why he didn't like his instructor, and the first words that came out his mouth were that his instructor was condescending. No one wants to hear feedback like that for a school. My brother had a good session with Aracely for his first session, but an unfortunate experience his second. What's worse is I specifically asked Cynthia, the receptionist, if all the instructors had the same teaching style and curriculum. I specifically asked to avoid this problem of varying differences. It would make more sense to have the same instructor at each appointment for consistency and to pick up where you left off. But the office was not that persistent on following up to schedule the next session. Not only were the teaching styles different, the types of cars of the instructors were also different. My brother's second session was learning in a Prius, which does not handle the same as other cars (I know because I drive a Prius and would not recommend learning to drive for the first time in a Prius, the pedals are very sensitive and has an emergency foot brake.) Obviously, the session is not consistent or standard between each one or between instructors.Not only was the quality of the lesson drastically different according to my brother, but the way that appointment times were carried out was unprofessional. I gave the school my phone number as the contact, so Henry called me last minute to try to change my brother's appointment time the day before. The appointment was booked in advance and I would expect the school and their instructors to uphold that appointment because that is the purpose of making an appointment ahead of time. Furthermore, since part of my brother's second session was spent at the office, Henry took the liberty to reschedule my brother's third session to an earlier time on a day that my brother has school. Again, the purpose of the appointment was disregarded. The new appointment date would only give my brother 2 days to practice what he just learned.But wait, there's more.... I then phoned the driving school main number to give feedback and to try a change my brother's instructor back to Aracely. The president of the U-Drive Driving School West Covina branch, Ricardo, answered the phone and provided some of the poorest customer service that I've ever experienced. Ricardo was very defensive and dismissive of my concerns and feedback. He told me that if my brother didn't like his session, "he should've told the instructor to take him home." This said policy is not written anywhere and on top of that, the session would not be refunded or rescheduled. Ricardo was not very accommodating or willing to come to a solution to resolve the poor experience.  The saying "the customer is always right" does not always apply, but I wouldn't make things up especially since I have nothing to gain from a bad experience. Ricardo kept saying that I wasn't at the lesson so how would I know... well when the person who took the lesson tells you they didn't like it there must be a reason. Even as the president of the branch, he didn't offer to record our info to schedule the next session with Aracely and just referred me to call on Monday. My brother is still a minor and has the manners to behave at his lesson, so I'm helping him voice his experience.Even though I didn't personally take the driving lesson, just from my interaction with this business I have not had a positive experience, and it has only been two sessions. I would not recommend them for any future upcoming new drivers. Read Less

Just finished my last lesson at U Drive I had two instructors, one named Mark(main one), and then Greg(1class.) Mark was really nice and funny, he was easy to talk too making the lesson enjoyable and fly by. Greg was really funny! Cracking jokes, very enjoyable and fun to drive with. But now down to the quality of what's being taught. I was already a fairly good driver going into the classes so it was not a challenge to me to do the things they asked. Overall I feel more confident and prepared for my driving test now being taught exactly what the test will ask of me! I was actually sad when my last lesson ended  cause I wouldn't be able to talk to Mark anymore. So if your looking for a good driving class and instructor make sure you go here and request Mark or Greg, I can promise from experience with them that it won't be a waste of money and you will benefit from the lessons. Oh and the receptionists are also very nice, I know theirs two different ones but both I met and talked to, they were both very friendly. Read Less

just finished my 6 hours today. i am very glad to say i was helped very well with my driving. I was already familiar with driving so my instructor Greg Romero helped better my driving. He made it very clear on what  I needed to work on and what would be on the driving test. He took me all over town and was very easy to drive with. I was not nervous at all so it made each driving lesson good. i would recommend him if you are usually nervous to drive, He really makes it easy! Read Less

Honestly I knew from the start This instructor was an issue old people are hard headed and believe what they say is God's law. That being said the instructor never introduced himself and was very rude I mean I was making small talk and was told " This is not a class I'm just letting you rent the vehicle." The gentlemen numerous times Grabbed the wheel while other cars were in our way and I had parked cars to my right. Besides that  he freaked out about a car pulling out from a parked space we had more then 30feet ahead of the front bumper and the car was not even moving he slammed on the breaks like I was driving 100 plus.... To cut it short It's the cheapest in the area for a reason, people look else where before committing to this place.BTW any place that has more than one  NO REFUNDS signage tells you people rethought this and you pay for what you get... do some shopping cheapest is not best here. Also I did pass the lady at the DMV Anna Said I did VERY WELL only 2 points. :)) So whatever U-Drive Driving School! Read Less

I dont know about the rest of the reviews but my instructor Greg was GREAT! he made me feel as a comfortable driver and was very funny! i suggest every new driver goes and asks for greg, hes a great teacher who taught me alot that i didnt already know and got all my moneys worth, i drove all 6 hours in 3 sessions. Not once did we stop and get out besides to the u- dirve school to pay and even with that it was only like 5 minutes. Greg was great! Read Less

I was debating which driving school to go with to get driving lessons for my sister, and on our way to the West Covina DMV for her written test, the car in front of me was from U-Drive and they seemed professional, so we decided to sign up with them.-- 3* for driving instructor --My sister got Greg. He was okay as far as he would assist her in turns or speeding up/slowing down if needed, but other than that he would just chat with her or not say much. He didn't provide any more teaching than that, and telling her at what road to turn, etc.-- 1* for price/value --They charged $250 for 6 hours, or 3 2-hour driving sessions. The instructor was 15 minutes late the first time but more or less on time the other two times. I do feel she got 10-15 minutes less driving time each time, because usually when they pick you up, the other student already in the car drives to their house, then your student takes over the driving. Also, each time they stop by the office to check in, and there is usually a line so that takes another 10+ minutes. All in all, you are paying for 6 hours but only getting about 5.5 or less.The conclusion is.... my sister passed her driving test! However, it was the company I had hired for her to take the road test in that really helped her pass the test. She said she learned more in the 2 hours before her road test than in the entire 6 hours with U-Drive, so I highly highly highly recommend West Coast Driving School in Chino. She learned with George, who also owns the company, and the tips he gave her were invaluable in passing her road test. They also offer the 6 hours driving instruction for only $200, and they pick up and drop off for those in the West Covina or Covina area. Had I known, I would have hired them from the start! See my review for West Coast Driving for more info :) Read Less

they did help me drive, but majority wasnt amazing teaching. the instructor was pretty mono-toned. but the price isnt bad and they got all my papers done quickly. pick up and drop off is great, but theyre always 5 min late. Read Less

To new drivers I really recommend this school even though they say that before you finish your hours you go and pick up the next student... I think it's normal cause you get to practice driving.. The instructor helps you understand things and do the right thing. Read Less

if i could give this place no stars I would have. First the instructor was 20 minutes late to our appointment and didnt even extend it after. He had me go to McDonalds the first day to get his coffee which btw he spilled in the car. And he needed to restroom breaks. Really for 2 hours you need 2 restroom breaks. The car was decent but had an odor and he didnt even teach me how to make a proper anything he just said to go. Come on I pay $300 for a service and I want my moneys worth. Man I feel as though someone must shut this place down. And to top it off we had to go back to the hole in the wall to get a paper he was suppost to already have.!!!!! -_________- stupid I tell yah! STUPID! Read Less

The instructors give your time to other people. My instructor had me do things like pick up things at the store and such. Shouldn't I have been driving all the time? She also used my diving time for personal things like dropping off a present to a birthday party her son was attending. Sometimes the instructor and I spent time in the parked car. I wasn't even driving! I was given bad advice such as pumping the foot break and riding the curb. I learned nothing there! Read Less
