Did 4 behind-the-wheel sessions at a reasonable price, with JOHN. He was a nice guy who knew what he needed to teach. Spend a hour with him and you'll know how to change lanes, merge, etc. like a boss. P.S. The Chrysler 200 V6 (293 horsepower) has enough power for some fun. It spins tires easily Read Less

The owner, Christine, is extremely rude and impossible to deal with. After we enrolled in behind the wheel instruction, she refused to give me any dates/times of when my son could drive with the instructor. When I asked her if she could give me a general idea of what month we could anticipate driving to start, she responded that I was being a problem to deal with and would refund my money. Any communication with her is frustrating ; she does not let you speak. She scolds, lectures and then hangs up on CUSTOMERS! Her staff that answers the phone continuously apologizes and states she is difficult to communicate with. I will say that our driving instructor was wonderful to deal with and a good communicator. But Christina's customer service is so awful that I would not recommend this school to anyone. Read Less

The OWNER is extremely rude! During the class she talks in circles to the point of absolute boredom. Very difficult to work with. Does not communicate well. And treats costumers very poorly in from of other staff members. While the owner was chewing me out I witnessed another staff member upset to the point of crying because of embarrassment. If I could I rate a 0 stars out of 5. Do not come here!!! Read Less

Staff is rude and condescending. Refuses to communicate with Secretary of State making it nearly impossible to get a license. Acted like I was an inconvenience because my autistic son needed extra time before he could obtain a license. Would recommend ANY other school. Read Less

Due to an intense school schedule we were unable to get my son into the driving courses at school. Balda taught him everything he needed to know in a compressed time schedule to get it out of the way. They have a lot of different schedule options for convenience. This was a perfect alternative for us! Read Less
