She has a pre-test lesson that helps prepare the students for the driving test. Also, she's super knowledgeable and helpful with the process of getting everything that's required to get the drivers license. Brinkley's Driving school was able to take care of All of the paperwork so we didn't need to hassle with getting an appointment at DPS. We're So grateful!!! Thank You Ms. Evelyn Brinkley for helping Jacob feel comfortable and for providing your services so we didn't have to go to the DPS office!!!!!

My driving instructor Ronnie made this learning journey for me very comfortable and enjoyable. I gained confidence as a brand new driver and was able to overcome a fear of being behind the wheel.

My experience with the Helotes Driving School, especially with the instructor, Mr. Santos, was rewarding. Mr. Santos is a gifted teacher who truly loves his vocation. When we were on the road, Mr. Santos was vigilant at all times so that I felt safe even when making those inevitable learning mistakes. He devoted extra time to techniques to help me overcome some physical impediments. I have seen him teach other students--both adult and teen. He truly believes in his students and has a positive "You Can Do It!" attitude. It is because of Mr. Santos that I can drive independently now, and I recommend him highly!

When my son turned fifteen he enrolled in the Texas Driving School on Potranco rd in San Antonio…read moreTexas. He completed all of his classroom work and then was told he could not start driving with them until 20 days has passed. After the waiting period he started calling to schedule the driving and got no answer. In the past six weeks we have called no less than 15 times and left messages most of those. Noone has yet to return my call. every time i go to the office they are closed. People if you need a driving school just drive past this one. It seems once they get paid they are no longer interested in you.

Her instructor Mr. Guzman was very patient, he put her at ease and made her feel comfortable. A big plus is that she got to take her driving test with the school and was already familiar with the testing route they used in proximity to their office. I would recommend you schedule a appt with DMV to get your learners permit before you take the class. Appointments are 2-3 months out. After you take the in person class, the same day you get your learners permit at DMV, go home and schedule an appointment to get your license right away. That way after driving lessons and test you already have a appointment set up to turn in passing results of driving test and get driving license.

After all, for me that was the most important part, having a professional get her comfortable with on the road driving. When she finished classroom, I asked when she would begin in car. TWO MONTHS after finishing classroom was her first opportunity. I was also told she would get ONE 2 hour in car training per month for the next SIX months! The reason: they are busy and have a lot of students. My suggestion is avoid this place for your teen. I should also mention that they are so busy her first 2 hour in car will be only ONE hour. After all, they are busy......

They take you on actual roads and test you on every scenario. You learn valuable road skills through their mock tests. I was a total beginner. I had no idea how to drive. They guide you 100% through every step. They explain every road sign (even the rare/uncommon ones). Whether you're somewhat experienced or a complete beginner, First Gear is a great school. They teach you a "defensive" driving style in order to look out for other driver's mistakes and act accordingly.
