Great School! I highly recommend this school. I took my 30 hour course here and my 3 in-cars with Mike's Driving School Starting with the 30 hour course, the instructor taught us everything we need to know in a fun entertaining way. The class wasn't boring and I was able to get all the information I needed to easily pass my permit test! With my in-cars, they actually helped me strengthen my weaknesses in driving. Example: During my second in-car, I wasn't good at parking. For the next 45 minutes, my instructor taught me how to park, and we practiced multiple times. I have been using what they taught since. Today I received my license after easily passing the driving test. This school prepared me well and I'm more than happy with my experience. Read Less

The lady who pick up the phone need some customer service lessons. She is not professional and courteous at all. She is extremely difficult to work with. When I asked for Mike's (The Owner) contact info, she told me that he does not work there anymore. Like other's have said, it is very hard to schedule in-car driving lessons. No problem with the school, however the lady need some help with customer service. I hope Mike can read these reviews and speak with her so others don't have to go thru same trouble. Read Less

Mike's Driving School was amazing. Easy 5 stars. The classroom was very informative and Elvis is a great instructor. He made sure we understood everything before moving onto the next subject. In cars were easy to book and Mike was great during the in cars. Easy to converse with which made the in car experience comfortable. He goes into detail about how you can perfectly pass your MVA road test. Would highly recommend the school to anyone. Read Less

I was a student here and I really loved it. My instructor was Mr. Young and he was one of the nicest people I've met and it was very easy to get along with him. The clearly instruct you on what you should and should not do. I would recommend it to anyone Read Less

Too bad there isn't a 0 star for this business.  I normally don't write reviews about businesses, I just don't go back if I m not happy, I am a very patient person and believe in giving people chances if they make a mistake.  Totally unprofessional business man.... he must have paid someone to give him 5 stars.  Don't send your kid there, he doesn't teach them anything, he took my son to 7 eleven, got himself a drink, tell him stories about his private life, how he uses cash here and send his money back home etc. and back......he didn't teach him to parallel or back park.  Don't make the same mistake I did, that's the only reason why I m writing this...I couldn't get in contact with anyone after paying my money about an appointment and he charged me $100 to make up a class.  Do yourself a favor, pay a little extra $ and have your kid learn from professionals not a scammer.

This review is so long overdue it's excruciating. So if you're stuck in an equally excruciating driving school, I'm sorry- I was too busy living my exciting life as a licensed driver. Now let me explain why this was a feat (me being licensed, because obviously my life has always been exciting. haha I'm kidding it's pretty mediocre):1. I had the attention span of a middle schooler with a smartphone. SOLUTION: The class is taught by Mr. Young, a middle school teacher, and a well-liked middle school teacher at that. The only teachers I liked in middle school were: knowledgeable, engaging, and down to earth. Middle school Ashley would have approved of Mr. Young. Adult Ashley also approves.2. I lived in Silver Spring, the driving school was all the way in Germantown; my form of transportation was public (bus/metro), and I worked two jobs too.SOLUTION: While the commute wasn't ideal, I'm a believer in opportunity costs. For the education I received it actually saved me more in the long run. Invest in yourself, it's a two week class for a lifetime skill. 3. The odds were stacked against me: a female, Asian driver, equipped with little to no driving experience and apprehensive thoughts. SOLUTION: Aside from teaching defensive driving techniques, this course builds confidence*. So when it comes to life or death situations who would you prefer to put in charge: Chicken Little or Batman? Cause this course will teach you to be a Batman**.*Confidence in driving. Don't get me started on confidence building in a different context, it's unrelated and it happens to be one of those topics I won't shut up about. -_- Shout-out to those who love me anyways.**You can't be a Batman. There's only one Batman. However you can defensively drive like Batman (minus the excessive speeding, violence, and whatever else Batman does that's illegal and reckless, because let's face it, you'd have to be a billionaire, philanthropist, playboy, vigilante to afford those tickets).So in the spirit of Shia Labeouf and Nike, "doooooo it!" But if that hasn't convinced you (maybe you hate one, both, or all three of us), remember that this is two weeks of your precious life, why spend it in a middle-of-the-road (beating myself up for not using a ton of driving related puns now, could have taken this in a whole other direction) driving school? You'll learn more if you're engaged, and this school makes it a breeze. P.S. Drive safe, and be aware at all times. I don't care if you're the best driver in the world, because the worst driver in the world could be sharing that road with you, and regardless of fault, both of you are going to look pretty lame exchanging insurance information and causing traffic. Human Error, it's not just a side quest in Fallout 4. Read Less

Before anything else is brought up, it should be noted that the teachers genuinely want the students who attend to be informed of the rules of the road to the maximum extent possible. The importance of driving safely is stressed and it is a welcoming learning environment for all. I personally attended and was satisfied with spending the $300 it cost. It was difficult to sit through the generally boring videos and much repeated content, but the knowledge gained more than equates to the time it spent to complete the class. I would recommend this school to anyone really. Shout out to Mr. Young for being a dedicated teacher and sincerely teaching what he knows everyone on the road should know. Read Less

Nothing but aggravation dealing with them. They don't answer their phone and when they do they are rude. The only reason I picked them was because they were a little cheaper. I would suggest you look for another driving school. Read Less

Great!!!It's a great driving school. I had a great learning experience both in-class as well on road.Mr Young is a great teacher and very helpful. I will recommend Mike's driving school if you want to learn driving in an encouraging, fun and simple way. Read Less

Mike's driving school is the best driving school in Germantown Maryland. The whole staff are friendly and scheduling is really easy even if you have to make up classes or reschedule any classes or driving sessions. My son learned how to drive with Mike and his ride with Mike were fun and easy-going. After taking this driving course my son drove really easy on the road and I was a lot more confident sitting in a car with him. You would not regret going to the school and the classroom is clean.

Mike's Driving School makes it easy for you to learn all aspects of driving you need to operate the vehicle. Behind the wheel practices are easy going. All instructors are very friendly and respectful. I have Mr. Luis for my in drives and I would like to sincerely thank him for all his work - hard working and very respectful instructor! A+ & recommended. Read Less

I can't thank Mike enough, He is a phenomenal driving instructor!  He gave me the knowledge, experience and confidence I needed to finally pass my driving test after 2 failed attempts. Let me tell you this: contacting him was the best decision I had ever made! Not only did Mike prepare me brilliantly for the road test but he also provided advice and explained the key points I needed to pass my driving test. He is very friendly, very knowledgeable, meticulous and patient.I was able to learn a lot from his lessons and I am extremely grateful for all his help.I would strongly recommend him to anyone wanting to get their licence! Mike is, hands down, the best driving instructor in the DMV area! Read Less

If you are looking for a driving school in the up-county area, then Mike's is definitely the place to go. I came into this class not knowing how to turn on an ignition and left well prepared for the license test at the MVA. This class doesn't beat around the bush and add fluff, it's straight to the point in a nice relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely recommend Mike's to anybody looking into attending driving school!

My daughter had struggled to get past the parking aspects of the driving test a couple of times, and was getting discouraged and frustrated despite lots of practice and help from my wife and I. A friend suggested that I call Mike. Mike had assisted the daughter of a friend of ours with a quick review session the night before her test, and she had passed with flying colors. We did the same, and Mike was patient, friendly and well-informed. He have our daughter some great tips, made her feel at ease, and gave her the confidence to pass the test. We could not have been more pleased. Read Less

Impressive conscientiousness, dedication.  We hired Mike's to help our new driver prepare for her road test, overcome last minute nerves, etc.  Despite an initial hiccup in getting together, Mike's exceeded expectations and was the key reason she sailed through it.  Highly recommend. Read Less
