I completed all my driving classes and passed my test here, and the experience was outstanding. The school offers incredibly flexible scheduling, which was a big advantage compared to other driving schools. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and very friendly. A special shoutout to Walter Avillanoza and Ahmed Kmail! Both instructors were patient and provided valuable tips that have been extremely helpful in my driving journey.
the zoom classes aren't as boring as i thought bc our instructor clay is very funny and keeps us interested. also lincoln is very nice. im learning a lot!! very excited to take my final exam
I signed up for a warm up test followed by a road test with Walter Avillanoza, and I had an absolutely excellent experience. His clear instructions during the warm up session were incredibly helpful and I successfully passed the exam. I highly recommend booking a test with Walter Avillanoza, as he provided great tips and instructions and made the entire experience stress free.

I took both my knowledge and skills tests at this location. The instructor for my skills test had a thick accent and didn't give clear directions. For instance, she asked me to park behind a white car, but there were two white cars. When I asked which one, I could tell she was getting irritated, which made me very nervous. She then said to go into the driveway, and I interpreted as to back up into the driveway. She actually meant to park behind the white car closest to the driveway. If you’re a first-timer or have difficulty... read more
