Had an amazing experience with Walter Avillanoza at the Kirkland and Redmond Center. He was patient and polite, explained the rules very well at the start and gently guided through the drive. I took two lessons from him and it greatly improved my driving and I was able to pass the driving test in first attempt. I am an immigrant and was new to left hand driving which is different from my home country and several of my friends had bad experiences at other schools and instructors, but Walter was patient, precise and just a lov... read more
DDS is great! The Zoom class is way more engaging than I thought it would be, and I learned a lot. My instructor, Clay, was amazing; they explained the material quite well, made sure it was interesting, and answered questions whenever possible. The class doesn’t just teach laws, either, but makes sure students learn about how to drive safely and react to drivers who aren’t, car insurance, maintenance, how to buy a car, and more. The written tests sum up the material nicely. The driving instructors are patient and do a wonder... read more
My daughter took classes from Jason. He was very informative and entertaining. He held my daughter’s attention and was kind and professional. She took her drives with Brett. Extremely fun and kind! He made her feel comfortable and was positive and complimentary, even when she was a little scary to drive with at first. Love this company and location and will be using them for my other children!
I took a manual transmission driving lesson with Walter and had such a positive experience! Walter explained and demonstrated many of the small details that a YouTube video could not. He helped me polish up a lot of the small things that made a world of a difference in smooth shifting, driving in stop and go traffic, and starting on hills. Highly recommended!
The online booking and training applications are very intuitive and easy to use. The helpful fact sheets let you know what to brush up on, they all come up in the questions. Special shout out to Bridget the driving instructor/assesor, she was very professional, constructive and definitely makes passing easier. Well done.
