I used America's Driving Schools services for both of my kids. They both had Sebastian as their instructor. He arrived on time and ready to go. My kids said he was patient and had a great overall experience. So my child was going to take the behind the wheel test. She was missing her completion certificate. During our panic, I reach out the Sebastian and fortunately, he came by within 10mins and gave us a replacement. We were lucky we were nearby and Sebastian went above and beyond to bring us another cert. I can't thank him enough. My kid was able to reschedule for the next morning and passed! Thank you Americas driving school and your amazing team. read more

I was looking for a reliable and safe driving experience for my daughter. She's about to get her license and we definitely needed to get her experience behind the wheel. I had looked around and read reviews and this place came up with stellar ratings. I called and spoke with Alyssa who was able to provide information over text which made it super convenient. I liked that they were able to work around my daughter's school and sport schedule. They also took into consideration when she would be taking her actual drivers test so that she would be as prepared as possible. There were a couple of scheduling mishaps that happened and this is where the service really stood out. I appreciated that Alyssa was quick to respond and called me to make things right. She acknowledged the miscommunication and immediately did her best to rectify it. I would highly recommend and refer this business if you're looking to trust your teen driver with knowledge and reliable drivers. My daughter said she had a great experience with all her lessons. read more

Daughter just completed her 6 hours of driving lessons. She's happy and is ready, Sebastian is a great instructor. Rates are reasonable and you can get a small discount if you pay with cash. Highly recommend this business. Will use them again when it's my son's turn in 2 years. Thank you Alysa and Sebastian! read more

Shout out to Carlos! Because no one else would have the patience to teach me the basics and work with my busy work schedule too! Really could not have passed or would have continued lessons if I had a different instructor. I felt comfortable from the start and knew I was in great hands with him. He is detail oriented, showing you the basics each time in the beginning of our lesson while still putting tons of trust in you as a driver. Can't thank him enough! 10/10 :) read more

I used this service for both of my teenage drivers, saved our family many tears Sebastian was great. Both of my kids said that they preferred his teaching style over mine. They both passed their behind the wheel with minimal mark downs and on their first try. read more

We originally signed up with AAA, and our experience was terrible. We couldn't get an appointment as everything in the afternoons were booked months in advance. By the third appointment, my daughter had not even left the parking lot. They also only do 1 hour increments which is so annoying. I looked around for another driving instructor and found America's Driving School Walnut. They would pick my daughter up from school, and have her drive all the way home, utilizing 2 hour increments; they can do more upon request. They are patient and encouraging, even took my daughter on the freeway! Sebastian was my daughter's instructor. When giving information about the test, Carlos was very knowledgeable. She passed with only 2 points deducted! We were super grateful for their service! read more

My son passed his first behind-the-wheel test last 10/16/24. Thank you, Sebastian! We highly recommend America's Driving School Walnut. read more

America's Driving School Walnut has me believing in miracles! My mom's doctor recently recommended she be retested for driving - totally reasonable given her age, but she was determined to pass. After passing the written exam, we was scheduled to take an in person driving test. We only ever have to take the driving test once in our lives when we first get our license but decades later things have changed. So we thought it best to reach out to Carlos at America's Driving School Walnut and ask for help! The quoted price for 2 hour lesson was very reasonable. I reached out via Yelp and he got back to me immediately. Communication was excellent and although my mom wasn't a new driver, he did not shy away from this at all. I set up the lesson for my mom, he met her at her home and showed her all the items in her car the DMV would ask about. He was meticulous and repetitive to help her retain the information. They hit the road and went over several other points of her driving and gave her a lot of tips on how to improve. Afterward Carlos called me to report what they went over and how he believe it went. he also had honest feedback about her driving, which I absolutely appreciated. The miracle happened the day after when she passed the driving test with 4 mistakes! She was elated and happy and said it was only because of Carlos' help. 100% recommend this driving school. Extremely patient and understanding and detail oriented. read more

I used America's Driving School a few months back for my son's 6 hours driving requirement. We signed up for 3 x 2 hour sessions. Carlos was his instructor and my son really enjoyed learning with him. According to my son, Carlos was patient and "cool". Carlos arrived in a newer hybrid Honda and invited me to observe what he went over with my son in the car. He made sure to put a plastic car seat cover on the drivers seat, and also provided bottles of water in case he got thirsty. After going over how to adjust his seat, mirrors, and reviewing all the things in the car that Carlos said would be asked of him during the test, they hit the ground running and took off! They do not have any "student driver" signs on the car as Carlos said he wants the student to have the true experience of driving, and if they get honked at, then they will learn! Haha. Carlos always gave me an update after each session and I could see my son gaining confidence on the road. He even took him on the freeway for a couple exits to experience that (my son said it was scary). ADS does local pick ups and drop offs and even offers to take you to the DMV for the driving test for an additional cost. read more

My daughter got Sebastian as her instructor and she had a wonderful experience! It made her feel more confident in her driving skills and relieved her previous anxieties about it. It takes a certain personality and skill to kindly yet safely teach others how to drive and he definitely has it. Definitely recommend! read more

From the start: Carlos was very organized, professional, friendly, honest, and super patient. Honestly the best! Did a 4 day - 2 hour and used the car that was practiced in; passed on the first try...made me feel very comfortable and at ease. Everything that was learned and said throughout the lessons was very insightful and useful for everyday driving uses and on the test. Prices are super affordable and reasonable. They do pickups and drop offs, which is a plus. I highly recommend this driving school and Carlos!!! read more

It has been two years that I avoided getting a license until I finally NEEDED to. I come from an Asian city that did not require any driving to live like a normal human being until I arrived in California two years ago. After avoiding getting a license at all costs due to fear of driving, I landed at America's Driving School and took lessons with Yader. And wow, he is a GREAT teacher. He made sure I felt comfortable being behind the wheel before starting to get me to learn all the signs & stuff. He was so patient, so understanding of my anxiety, and so encouraging. After many struggles and practices with Yader, I finally got my license today. Carlos was SO helpful in helping me set up appointments and worked with my work schedule. This team helped me get out of my comfort zone and overcome my fear of driving. Kudos to you both! read more

Had a great experience with Americas Driving School. Sebastian was very professional and very thorough with teaching the skills needed. Would recommend! read more

The best!!! So happy they are serving the Tustin/Irvine area. We used another company for my older daughter and America's Driving School was so much better to work with. It was easy to book appointments, they're flexible and friendly. They were always on time and never canceled (I've heard horror stories from friends about other "coupon" companies). Carlos was amazing with my daughter- so patient and knowledgeable. She always felt comfortable and safe. I highly recommend America's Driving School and will definitely be using them again when it's time for my son to learn. PS: my daughter passed the drivers test her first try and I know it's because of the excellent training she received from America's Driving School. read more

Had Carlos do a couple review sessions before the road test to work out all the bad habits and prepare for the test at the DMV. We got the package where he took the kid to the DMV and did the test in his car. Carlos prepared my young driver well and he passed even with a picky tester at the DMV. :) Thank you Carlos! My boy just received his actual provisional license yesterday! he's happy! read more

Amazing customer service , affordable rates . Carlos and Sebastian are amazing instructors they have patience and made the experience for both my sons a GREAT one . I would recommend this company . Now my sons are off to face our wonderful LA and OC traffic lol Thanks again you rock !! read more

I had Carlos as my instructor, and he is professional, friendly, positive, and patient. He really cares about what he's doing and he really cares about his students feeling comfortable and doing well. I really enjoyed my time driving; it became less stressful and more enjoyable with his guidance. I would recommend this business to everyone. I passed my first try at the Behind the Wheel test after taking five 2-hour sessions of driving instruction. I also am able to easily drive on the highway. They are also taking great actions to keep everyone safe during this pandemic. They check temperatures with an infrared thermometer, they cover seats with plastic coverings that they put on new for every student when they enter the car, they give you hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes for you to clean the car to your liking. Masks are worn by the instructors and all the students. I feel I got very lucky discovering this business, because I had a great experience with it. I can't recommend this business enough. read more

I want to leave a great review for Carlos, who was my driving instructor. Highly recommend him! He speaks English and Spanish :D I was looking for a driving school near me & noticed this one had great reviews so I decided to call them. Carlos gave me a call back and was great at communicating back and forth. He explained to me the prices, schedule, and hours based on a few questions he needed to know about my driving. He asked how many hours I've put into driving already and permit information, to know the soonest time to be ready and take my test. He explained to me how everything works & was able to answer all the questions I had written. Lucky for me, he was able to explain everything to my parents who only speak Spanish. After getting off the call, he messaged me everything via message and that helped a lot! Making it easy to communicate as well, meaning no need to worry about forgetting about the dates and prices! Even though I've been practicing for some time, I went with the 6 hour course in order to be fully prepared. Carlos was great at teaching me everything I needed to know, he very attentive, gave me tips, and taught me the ways of the road. He answered all my questions, has patience, and is willing to work on anything you may have trouble with or are nervous about. I also love that they drive to you & drive you back home after every lesson, not to mention they have the option to rent the vehicle being used and have your driving instructor take you to take your test. It's very convenient as I did not need to worry about my car being dmv approved or being insured as their vehicles are all set with that! Carlos came with me to take the test & that made the process go by fast! I took my test at West Covina DMV & passed on the first try! If you are looking for a great driving school worth spending your money on, this is the place. read more

I highly recommend this driving school to every person out there who is willing to obtain their license. Shout out to my driving instructor Sebastian! He's the best! Very professional, friendly and patient instructor. I highly recommend him. Taking lessons with Sebastian was worth it! You won't regret taking lessons with him!" read more

2020 update update my daughter just passed with only one mistake!!! Two kids DONE! Great instructors! My son just completed 6 hours of behind the wheel. He has never been behind the wheel and was extremely nervous. Carlos took him out the first two hrs and my son came back encouraged. Then he went out with Yadir the next two lessons. In just 6 hrs he was driving good enough for me to trust him in my minivan! I also love that when he is driving he says they told me to do this and to do that, he obviously got many tips, some I didn't even know I was doing wrong! I highly recommend this school and the two guys, they're very friendly knowledgeable & connect with the teens which is a plus in learning to drive and trust they're teaching them right! Yes he passed his test first try too in 2017! read more

America's Driving School - Only one mistake! Woohoo! - Driving Schools Near Me - Walnut, California

Carlos was wonderful, working with my son for his behind the wheel training. He was very flexible, offering both morning and afternoon sessions to help my son get acclimated to traffic at different times. He was also very patient with my son, and helped explain things clearly to him. With his help, my son was able to pass his driving test! I will definitely chose Carlos to train my other kids, and recommend him to my friends. Thank you, Carlos! read more

Very responsive, great customer service but the instruction was subpar. Make sure you ask what's included because they did not practice parking with my daughter, they didn't teach reversing, instructor seemed afraid didn't try the freeway which I've never heard a driving school not doing. They practically just had her drive In straight lines and not much else. Not even a U-turn or three point turn. Very disappointed. read more

What a great Driving school! I called Carlos and he got back to me super quickly. Although they are super busy training students to drive during this crazy time with Covid, he fit my son in for the 6-hour class. His driver Sebastian was the instructor for my son and gave me daily feedback on what my sons strengths were and things he could improve on prior to his behind the wheel test. I would recommend "America's Driving School" to anyone needing a drivers training school recommendation. read more

We have enjoyed our experience with America's Driving School. Carlos is very easy to work with and the instructor Yader has been amazing. Yader has increased my child's confidence in her driving. He is very calm and makes the student feel at ease. read more

I took classes from them this past summer and passed the DMV Behind the Wheel test on my first try! Highly recommend using their services. I signed up for their 6hr behind the wheel course and got Carlos as my instructor. He's very experienced and helped me get over my driving anxiety - as before the first lesson, I'd never driven before! With some extra practice I was feeling confident by the end of the summer and got my license before heading back to school. read more

My instructor was Sebastian and he made the lessons very engaging and enjoyable! Despite initially feeling nervous, I was able to gain more confidence with his tips and guidance. Now I feel way more comfortable on the road, thank you for the lessons! read more

Hell yea best driving school was on a time crunch of two weeks to take my drivers test called this awesome place and hooked me up with the best and most helpful instructor from the heavens Carlos. He's really patient and makes sure you remember as much as possible for the big day at the DMV. If you need a driving school with good instructors that are patient and won't yell at you like other reviews of other driving schools look no further then here. I will 100 percent recommend this place to anyone and especially my man Carlos. read more

My son had a great experience with Yader. He felt very comfortable and learned a lot. They have great communication and scheduling the appointment days was very easy. I highly recommend this driving school. read more

Nothing but good things to say about Americas Driving School. They picked my son up from home and took him on his driving lessons and he felt super comfortable with the instructor. On the day of his behind the wheel test I hired them to take him to the dmv . They took him 2 hrs before his appointment and had him drive the course they use for testing . They waited with him and they let him use the car he practiced in for the test and he passed on the first try . If you are looking for a reputable place and to take the stress off you I would highly recommend this driving school . read more

I am very happy with Americas Driving School. Sebastian was awesome with my son. He was very patient and gave him the confidence he needed to pass his driving test. I definitively recommend their service. read more

I 100% recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn how to drive or who has driving anxiety. I initially took the 6-hour course with Carlos, my driving instructor, and within those three days, I learned more with him than with my previous instructor from another school, who left me with little confidence. In those three days, Carlos was patient and helped me regain confidence in driving on the street and the freeway. On the test day, I had another two-hour lesson to review everything before my behind-the-wheel test, which immensely helped. Words cannot express my gratitude to Carlos and America's Driving School Walnut for helping me get my license and helping overcome my driving anxiety. read more

Carlos is very professional and helped my daughter pass her driving test. He was organized and set up a plan for both the lessons and the driving test. I would recommend him to any parent who is worried about their teenager driving. He is very honest and the prices are reasonable. read more

Carlos arrives on time to appointments and will text if he's running late. He helped my wife pass her driving test. My wife says that he's very patience and a really good instructor. I highly recommend him! Thank you Carlos! read more

This is best driving school so far I know, yader she is very professional and patient teaching driving, after my son first lesson, she also text me my son driving problems, so we can also help my son practice and correct his problems. My son has very good experience with her teaching. read more

I've been trying to learn how to drive since I was 17 (I'm 23) but no matter what I would freak out during the test and end up failing because of nerves. I honestly felt hopeless and like I'd never be able to calm down enough to pass the test. Then finally after almost a year of not driving, I ended up coming across this driving school and decided to check it out upon seeing the great reviews. Yader ended up being my instructor and he was amazing. He really worked with me to get me to relax and get out of my head. He was so patient and calm, which really helped me. I learned so much from him and he really reassured me. After 6 years of letting my anxiety get the better of me he was able to calm me down and sharpen my skills so that I would be ready for the test. These lessons made me feel so confident driving for the first time ever. On the day of my test I had another lesson with Carlos (who was also fantastic) and their car for the lesson. I ended up passing the behind the wheel test and getting my license!!!! This company and their driving instructors really go above and beyond to provide a quality experience and make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. Both Yader and Carlos were great with communicating and accommodating my schedule. I would highly recommend Yader as an instructor. I know I'm being repetitive but I can't stress enough how helpful he was. Not only did he teach me everything I needed to be a good driver but he also helped me get out of my head and get over my fears. I can drive now knowing that because of America's Driving School Walnut: I have the skills and confidence to drive safely. I highly recommend this company!! read more

Carlos definitely helped me redefine my driving and prepared me for my driving test, which I passed (THE FIRST TIME TAKING IT TOO) thanks to him and lots of practice. He wasn't only my instructor he was also my personal therapist lol ! He definitely maintains a relaxing environment for driving and easy to talk to. If you do a mistake he's understandable and also explains to you why the mistake is wrong and what to do next time. He's VERY familiar with the DMV and knows exactly what you need to do and learn in order to pass. Trust me when I say you get what you pay for! Also, the cars are nice to drive in too. Carlos is freaking awesome and he's super cute lol so definitely go and do business with him! THANKS CARLOS! I will definitely recommend you to my friends. Good luck! read more
