    After I finished all my lessons I booked a dmv test for the very next day and passed on the first try. Cindy is amazing!

    Hi I have failed my test twice but do I have valid Canadian driving license and just wanna know what will be the price of 1 lesson for 1 hour?

    Hi, happy to help! the cost for a 2 hr lesson is $159 including free pickup and dropoff locally. we dont offer 1 hr lesson. call us at 562-285-7820 to setup.

    Hello - how much will it be for my daughter to get 6 hours of lessons? Also, can she spread the lessons over 3-4 weeks?

    Hi, The cost is $439 for 6 hrs (3lessons). And yes they can be spread out to your schedule. Call us at 562-285-7820 to get started.

    How much are you teen 3 lesson package?do we pay each time or have to pay all at once? Thank you

    Hi, the cost for the three lessons which is a total of six hours is $419. You do not have to pay for them all at once. We do provide the option to pay for each lesson individually. Please call us at 562-285-7820.

    Hey i was seeing what package deal yah have for driving school?

    Hi, For this area we offer free drivers Ed with prepaid purchase of driver training. For the latest prices please call our office 562-285-7820

    Hello can you provide the price?

    Hi, For one lesson of two hours is $129, a discount is given on the third lesson (6hours total) for $369. We are the least expensive and most experienced. Call us!

    Do they help from the beginning to end?or do I need to get my daughter her permit first before coming here? Everything is so different and complicated to when I was a teen.

    We offer online drivers ed, which is required if teen is under 17.5. And when they finish ODE they get a certificate which they take to dmv to take their written permit test. Once the student gets their permit then we can take them out driving for… 

    How long do the students have to complete the behind the wheel training?

    Hi Sophia, they have 9 months to finish their training once they have started it. Which is enough time to get them through all their practice driving on their own.

    Where are you guys located? I can't seem to find the building.

    Call us. We can save you the trip by enrolling over the phone or paying securely online. We can answer all your questions. 877-53-DRIVE

    Very smooth process overall. Signup was quick/straightforward. Definitely better to plan ahead…read morebecause time slots fill up fast. I really liked the flexibility & convenience. My teen was able to start at home and then finish the lesson at his high school. It definitely made things easier on me. He worked with Anthony, who was very helpful. I noticed a very significant improvement for my teen's driving after working with Anthony. He feels much more comfortable with driving and is prepared to take the driving test. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with our experience with this driving school. I would totally recommend!

    I am going to be honest, I don't understand how the rating is so high. My daughter completed her…read morethree lessons and wasn't given even close to the same instruction that my son was given by another company. Her first two lessons were ok, but she wasn't taught anything for the driving test. Her last lesson was absolutely horrible, the instructor was texting and making phone calls the entire time. My daughter felt ignored and was nervous because she didn't know where to go or what to do half of the time. I reached out to Kanor before writing this, hoping that maybe they would give us a make up session, but they replied with that they would look into it. I am very upset, these are our kids' lives as well as everyone's that shares the road with them. For $100/hr, I at least expect the instructor's undivided attention. We just paid Varsity for an extra lesson and they said that a lot of the tools students need to pass the test were not taught to our daughter - basic things like backing up along a curb. Between driving with us and the extra out of pocket lesson with another company, I think she will be safe. Maybe if we hadn't had such a great experience with another company for my son we wouldn't realize what our daughter missed out on.

    guess where i spent the better part of my saturday today? from 7:45 in the morning to 4 o'clock in…read morethe afternoon? the seventh layer of HELL! a.k.a traffic school. joy, uh? it was bad, i'd forgotten how bad it can be. sitting on a chair idly for so long, with all sorts of people that just make you want to roll your eyes so far back you bend time and space. HOWEVER, as traffic schools go, this one was cheap and as much as i dislike sitting idly for so long, the professor was great, the movies were funny, and overall the urge to commit mass murder did not arise at all. plus, did i mention it's cheap? 27 buckaroos. there is plenty of parking and plenty of places to eat during lunch(aside from my house that is only three blocks away from the school!) like quiznos, panda express, IHOP, and KFC. all within walking distance. the place is very clean, the chairs are ok, but the comfort level of the chairs can be attributed more to the time spent sitting on them than anything else. the instructor sticks to his guns time wise. no one was inside the building after 4:01pm. he promised this to be the case and coordinated class so it was made possible. nothing beats a promise delivered to on a silver platter folks.

    remember this?…read more http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-monte-courthouse-el-monte#hrid:Cogbjc5yd1q53G4v5A3u-g subsequently after, i received a letter from the DMV stating in bold- mind you-very very BOLD letters.... 'you are a hazard to the road, whether you are aware of this fact or not...DAMN YOU TO HELL BAD ASIAN DRIVER!!".. ok. maybe i slightly exaggerate the last part. as i finally drag my procrastinating ass to sign up for traffic school, i slowly peruse the many..MANY schools available for in-person-required-12 hour traffic school. that's right kiddies. TWELVE hours. lucky for me. Ben G. drives a fast car, and fast cars get tickets. and good friends with fast cars, who get tickets, are nice of enough to spend 8 hours of traffic school with yours truly. YES. i obviously chose this because it's called CHEAP traffic school. 8am- 4 pm baby. they changed locations on us last minute, but the classes were not cancelled. (if they were, i would've raised hell). there were about 18-20ish people in the class. everyone looking dreary, with automatic coffee cups glued to hand. 8 hours- 30 bucks, 12 hours (in two sessions)- 35 bucks. CASH only folks- san gabriel style. so how was it? well. it was painful to some extent ... ie sitting on my butt for so long, while trying to salvage what was left of my neck. but i enjoyed the slightly agitated half cat-sounding groans coming out of Ben G. every 20 or so minutes. but i must honestly say, this being my first time in actual physical traffic school. (vs online), it was alright. actually. seriously! i found myself in a situation akin to being in a southern baptist church on a sunday afternoon. our instructor, still very much passionate for his work, after 19 years, would at times be bouncing off the walls, screaming "and you NEED to change my people, you NEEEEEDDDD SALVATION, to SAVE YOURSEEEEEEEEEEEEEELFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF... from bad driving". wtf. then there were moments where he shared the death of his brother, his mother, and how we were all going to DIE. so you better find a driver who can drive sober to your funeral.... after this, he would talk in an Steve Erkel-esque voice. it was really. really. entertaining. and did you KNOW if you rinsed your mouth with mouthwash, your breathalyzer test would be 0.01 already. (which is illegal under 18). and i LOVED his big yellow plastic sign he posted on the wall. i stared at it so many times, it's burned into my brain . CHEAP TRAFFIC SCHOOL why settle for less, when you can get the best. ROD SAVANT. #18000691 rod savant rocks. dudes. and since your ass gonna be there anyways... why not get one that screams and hollars like a southern baptist pastor? bring your meals. he's strict about you coming back to the appropriate times. bring a jackets, ben g. was a popsicle by the end of one session. you get three breaks. 10-10:10, 12-12:45pm, 2:00-2:10. you have to arrive at 7:45am. like i said. it's as good as it gets. the next best thing is to drag a malcontent friend with you so you can exchange notes and smirks in class. yep. just like high school... all over again. (minus one star? BECAUSE IT'S TRAFFIC SCHOOL PEOPLE!!!) side note: you have to call them and make the appt over the phone, and they will set you up with a location appropriate/close to you. when you get the certificate, you should hand it back to the court in person to avoid unnecessary bullshiz.

AAA feels completely out of touch with today's young drivers. This generation naturally takes a more cautious, deliberate approach to learning, but instead of accommodating that pace, AAA's strict expiration policies and re-enrollment fees feel designed to profit off of it. As a longtime customer who used to trust AAA as a primary resource, this driving school was a major disappointment. Teaching a teenager to drive is stressful enough without dealing with predatory policies and administrative roadblocks. Save yourself the headache and do your research--there are far more affordable, flexible, and supportive options available elsewhere.

My son shared that he felt completely comfortable behind the wheel, and that Angel kept the lessons engaging by talking, encouraging, and staying fully involved throughout. He said driving with Angel never felt stressful--it was enjoyable, and he actually looked forward to each session. Angel helped my teen feel at ease while still instilling the skills and confidence he needs to succeed. He also kept us informed and updated every step of the way. We couldn't have asked for a better instructor, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a driving teacher who truly loves what he does and inspires his students.
