DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY, I do not say “totally dishonest” lightly but that would be putting it mildly. In February my son took mandatory training from this company, as per agreed they needed to file it with the DMV. They did not, and my son who is away in college got his licence suspended. After repeated promises to call us back, which they never once did, the ‘School” Admitted fault and promised to resolve it the next day and call me back. She blamed in on a "computer glitch" that they already knew about. This marks the first of a never ending line of excuses. Off course they did nothing. Several UN returned calls latter I once again got a hold of Ms Hover. A woman who is truly not to be trusted. Going on May 1st I finally got a hold of her again this time she acted like this was my first time call, and she didn't know me. She asked to call me back as she had other lines ringing. (her typical way of getting off the phone) I refused as she has NEVER once kept her word and returned a call. She then gave me a new excuse (this would be the 4th after her sick kid excuse) never before used this entire time, a brand new one and that she “needed to talk to my son because he was the student” ALTHOUGH she has not made a single effort to contact him. I am certain this is because she felt it was now time to just give him a run around. To fix this I now need to spend another $175.00 with the DMV After I informed her she can deal with me she hung up. I called back, no answer Tomorrow I am filling a complaint with the county, small claims court and BBB. 5-3-18 just a quick update so far as we all expected no return call, no attempts of any kind to contact us and they still haven't done their job and filed it. We have submitted a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and are filling out the small claims court paper work now, will update later.

This is an excellent driving academy. John, the instructor, is calm, knowledgeable, and experienced. I took the manual driving lesson and left feeling very confident. In fact, right after the class I purchased a manual transmission car and was able to drive home from the dealership with no issues.

John was amazing, made a driving improvement class that I thought would be horrible into enjoyment as well as a life changer. Definitely will look at driving differently.

I moved to the states not very long ago and was very nervous about learning to drive as i had no real prior driving experience. However John really helped me with this transition. He was very patient and professional in teaching me safe defensive driving techniques. There was no yelling whatsoever and i'd say that it has really helped me increase my confidence in driving. I would especially recommend this driving school to anyone who is relatively new to driving and is also anxious like me. Best of Luck. Happy Driving!..:)

A 2 Z Driving school is an excellent driving school to pick if you want to get a great lessons on how to learn how to drive or to learn how to improve on driving skills. The instructor John is very patient, calm, and understanding. If you listen to him and follow his directions you will get your license. I highly recommend A 2 Z driving school if your looking for a great driving school to go too.

I am glad I took behind-the-wheel with A2Z driving academy! John, the instructor, was very kind and polite; he did not yell once and spoke calmly even when I made mistakes. John is very knowledgeable so he was able to answer all of my driving questions.
Thank you John for making my driving experience a good one!

I registered for a 2-day manual shift program with John. Not only was he patient, but he also pointed out exactly what I needed to do in order to improve. By the second day, I was able to drive stick shift starting on a steep gradient hill and felt very comfortable driving on the highway. I also want it to be known that I attempted driving manual once....and that was 10 years ago. If you want the fastest way to learn how to how drive stick shift comfortably, John is the way to go!

It was a great learning experience for me to work with John. My older sister and some of my cousins also did behind the wheel with him and I've only heard good things about the academy. I highly recommend choosing A 2 Z Driving.

I rarely ever give out one star. Well, it sucks to suck.I've heard good things about this driving school and decided to give the Behind the Wheel program a try. All seemed well until they never showed up at the appointed day and time for the lessons to start where we were to be picked up from home. We were told that we were going to get a confirmation e-mail a day or two before the actual Behind the Wheel program started and it never happened. So just to be sure, we called the company at around 9 AM on Saturday (the supposed day of the first time they'd pick us up) and we were told that they were unprepared and to call back in an hour or so. But wait? What's that? Do my eyes deceive me or does the opening time read 7 AM on Saturdays?Get your life together, A2Z. Additionally to that, when we did call back we were never responded to even when we told them to call us back. Multiple calls later in the day were still to no avail.We tried calling to cancel today but even then, that couldn't be done. Either they're ignoring us or zombies came to eat them.I'm 105% done. Bye.Also, the grammar/spelling on the website are horrendous.

My son took their classroom training in the summer of 2011. We have yet to receive a certificate of completion. I have emailed them several times and called and left messages and haven't received a response. The 1 time I got someone on the phone he told me I had to email them, then he hung up. Don't use these tools, ever.

Wish I could give a review of the instruction - but the instructor never showed up! Eleven days before the class was scheduled, I registered my daughter for the classroom Driver Improvement 8 hour class to be offered in Springfield, VA. Registration is done online from the school's website. The website never provided any indication that the class would not be held. We arrived 10 minutes before the start time, and waited about 25 minutes but no instructor never showed up and we didn't see any other students there either. I checked the website and there was no indication of a cancellation. Calling the main number got a recording. I'm willing to acknowledge that maybe the registration form submission wasn't received, but if there's an issue with web submissions, the website should indicate the need to follow up with a phone call. And someone should answer the main phone number in the hours close to the scheduled start time for a class even if it is on a Sunday. At least I didn't pay in advance! We'll be looking somewhere else for a driving class. Next stop for me is AAA.
