1st Gear Driving was FIRST RATE! My son used 1st Gear last summer and the total experience was excellent. Driving school is EXPENSIVE and I'd heard too many stories from friends whose children had less-than-professional experiences elsewhere. I was wary, but 1st Gear exceeded my expectations. It was easy to sign up for driving times, the instructors ALWAYS on time and ready to go. Communications were always timely and clear. My son actually seemed to enjoy the classes and made friends. When it came time to get licenses, First Gear arranged a special time for the class to go together to the DMV. Amber from First Gear was there, cheering them on. We were almost sad to be done with it all! I HIGHLY recommend 1st Gear! Read Less
