    We chose AAA to get our teenage son licensed because we have always valued the services provided by…read moreour ACSC membership. I had friends telling me not to chose them for the online driver's education because they required parents to complete a section in addition to the students 30 hours. My son also tried to talk me out of it because his friends told him it was harder than some of the other online courses. To me, harder was better because you want your kid coming away from driver's ed well versed in all of the rules of the road. My son completed the 30 hours online and got his permit on the second attempt. The problem started when we needed to sign up for our 10 hours of driver's training through the Anaheim Hills AAA location. Time slots were SEVERELY limited and you could only sign up for 2 lessons at a time. When I called to ask why the slots were so limited and why you could only sign up for 2 at a time, they said that their program is designed for students to have sessions every 3 weeks and finish the 10 hours at the 6 month mark of holding their permit, since this is when they are eligible to take their driving test with the DMV. Fair enough, but you can't get a lesson every 3 weeks. Some of our lessons were 5-6 weeks apart so it made it impossible to get our 10 hours in before taking our DMV test. Right now, every time I login to try to schedule a lesson I get a message that there are no lessons available for November and December. I have nothing bad to say about the instructors. My son has had two different people and both were very well qualified and good with teens. The program needs an overhaul since they are not set up to deliver the lessons they sell you in the 6 month period you hold your permit. I will not be using them when my daughter gets her license in 2 years.

    It is impossible to schedule lessons through their online calendar. We would log-in almost daily…read moreand could never find a class available regardless of time or location. I ended up canceling and going with a different driving school, but AAA has refused to provide a refund even though their inability to schedule lessons is the reason.

    We enrolled our daughter up for all of the required number of hours/classes through Varsity Driving…read moreAcademy (VDA). The instructors were very patient with her as she learned the car and rules of the road. It's very important to find a trustworthy driving academy. From purchasing the sessions, to scheduling the sessions, and to scheduling the CA DMV test, it was such an easy process. Our daughter really felt at ease and comfortable with instructors Catherine Steveley and Dan Younger. They really understand how to instruct/connect with a new youth driver. Thank you! Today, our daughter took her CA DMV driver's test and SHE PASSED THE TEST!!! Thank you to everyone at VDA!!! We will go through VDA when our son is eligible.

    When my son first got his permit I looked on Yelp to find a great behind the wheel program for him…read more I called Varsity and they were amazingly helpful on the phone. When Bob came to our house for my son's first lesson he was kind and knowledgeable, letting us know what to expect. My son had a great experience and at the end Bob spoke with us and gave us things to work on with him. All three lessons were amazing, he even gave us tips and tricks for the test and suggested which DMV to go to. Our son passed with flying colors and has a great driving record (he has been driving for 3 years). I am writing this a few years later because we moved away from Irvine and had to find another company for our daughter. Her experience was not as good and we did not feel that she was ready to be driving on her own even after that company signed off on it. I immediately called Varsity and they found her a time to work with Bob and we drove down to Irvine for it. In just two hours he taught her so much, he went through everything and corrected her previous instruction. She is a much more confident and safer driver because of him. She passed her test two days after the lesson. Thank you Varsity and Bob!
