I have been trying to get my driving certificate to the DMV so I can get my liscense but this driving school hasn't put my info in online. I have called twice now and they've said they did, but whenever I go to the DMV they say I never even completed driver's education. This place is horrible. Don't go here. Read Less

I took a 6 hour driving course with him. He was fine, he got us (the students) through it. Thanks Howard :)

So I went to Howard's driving school myself! Passed the test the first time and he taught me how to drive defensively . After 23 years of driving I have never been in an accident . My sister and I still use a lot of what he taught us. He is currently teaching my 3rd and last child how to drive . With a packed classroom he must be doing something right. Keep up the good work Mr. Howard! Read Less

Dear owner of Howard Driving School, I do not know you and I have never been to your establishment, but I just want to write to make you aware that every response you're sending to people is getting posted publicly for the entire world to see. And as Kiara Banks said, badmouthing former students really doesn't make me want to come to your business. I would be laughing right now about how unappealing it makes your business look, but it's probably not very funny for you. I'm sure you run a very fine business, but for your sake you may want to get your Public Relations problem under control. Respectfully sending my business elsewhere, David Read Less

Didnt need classes, just paid for road lessons at $70 an hour ($35 per 30 minutes), and got one free 30 minute "lesson" to start. Wasnt much of an experience. The "instructor" Calvin gave mild feed back and on two of the four occasions took a restroom break on MY TIME. He didnt seem eager for me to progress and neither did he to start new "lessons". If you want to go take your road test with the car it'll be $270 up front. He flips over a sand timer as soon as he picks you up and itll run even while you're waiting at the dmv to take the test. I neglected that option, paid a friend to take me and got my license first try. Some of the things claimed are on the test were not. All in all it was a waste of my money, but thats my fault.

I agree with other internet posts. This man is a sexist and also makes anti semitic comments. He regularly goes off topic to give his opinion on politics, religion and conspiracies instead of focusing on required class material. It's not a daily occurrence, he does this multiple times every session. Not to mention he is unorganized, keeps poor records and never returns calls after your payment check has cleared. I wish I would have seen this post before I registered for driving lessons. This guy is a complete moron and I can't understand how he remains in business. I'm sure he has never had a repeat customer or a customer referral. You can lean more from watching youtube driving videos or watching paint dry than from taking driving lessons at this place.

This man is a women hating chauvinistic pig!  He tells the students in his class that it's okay to harass people on the street!  He always favors the pretty young girls wearing tight short shorts, while he just about ignores everybody else in the class, unless he HAS to talk to them.  HE TOLD ME that if I didn't want to attract unwanted attention from men I should COVER UP MY MEAT.  This man, Howard, does not know how to run a business. He is a sexist bigot. I wish I was making this stuff up...  I would have much rather spent twice the money to go some place else, than have to deal with this pig.   If you are a self respecting woman, or a man who doesn't hate women, you  WOULDN'T"T EVER LET YOUR CHILDREN BE AROUND THIS MAN.
