We don't have the money to repeat over and over and my wife seen a lot of others fail there seems fishy so if you have money to burn go there... read more
The teachers are very nice and are open to any questions you may have about driving and the driving instructors are informative and professional, I can guarantee, if you follow their patient instructions, you will be safe on the road and in class. I can certainly recommend
