    *UPDATE* I recently had my behind the wheel and I passed with ONLY 1 mistake! I totally recommend Noel! He can be reached at (619) 861-4244.

    Are classes offered to adults?

    Yes, we teach adults. You can check out our website www.bonitadrivingschool.com… Read more

    How much for 16yo (6 driving hours to obtain their license)?

    Hi GG, message or call us directly for rates. Since we pick and drop off the students, price depends on zip code. Thanks

    What is the average number of lessons a student needs?

    If you are under 18 years of age, the CA DMV requires a minimum of 6 hours behind the wheel training.

    Hello, Doing some research on the cost for behind the wheel lessons for Bonita Driving School. If anyone can let me know how much they paid for the behind the wheel corse it…

    It varies where you live. Chula vista residents have to pay $55/hr, so that's $110 each 2 hour session.

    I was a little bit nervous because I heard that Keiki was a new instructor and I knew I was already…read morean anxious driver. However, Keiki is very calm, friendly and kind person to talk to. He makes it easy to feel comfortable driving and he even got me to go on the freeway a few times with minimal stress. I am also in my early 20s, so I'm grateful that they accommodate all ages and Keiki never once made me feel bad for starting a little later. The prices were really great and when I wasn't able to pay right away, we figured out a system that worked out for everyone, and they treated it like it was no hassle. I was able to get my license after months of hard work. Keiki was always an amazing instructor and I cannot recommend him enough!

Josie explained the menu of services (single, multi sessions, pricing and structure), what to expect from it all and was an overall pleasure to interact with. Mikayla is an asset to this business, my daughter really valued the time spent with her and learned so much. She gained confidence along the way with her driving and this was all due to the style of teaching from Mikayla. Since I lived in downtown, Mikayla was able to pick up my daughter for instruction and schooled her with all the ins and outs of the dreaded DMV driving exam. Like most people, i kept asking myself "does my daughter really need this? I can drive, why cant i teach her?" ... well yes, but I can assure you we don't all drive the way the DMV handbook lays it out and what they actually test for... so do yourself a favor and hire the pros! I cannot stress enough, learning from an actual instructor who knows what to expect from the DMV will be the difference maker in having a successful result. Fast forward to yesterday and my daughter passed her driving exam!!! Thank you Josie and Mikayla for being part of this important milestone, you two are the best. Be sure to check them out!! =)

He was originally scheduled to test at San Ysidro but due to a scheduling issue we ended up testing at another DMV, and he passed without many points deducted. Thanks to the team at Driving School for You, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable school that gets the job done!

    I can't help but feel a bit cheated even when his price is a lot cheaper than what other driving…read moreinstructors charge. First of all, Brian spends a lot of the time talking, roughly an hour 40 just talking. Keep in mind each session is only 2 hours long. Sometimes he gives actual good tips, but most of the time he's blabbering about religion or he brings up some story he's already told me from the previous lesson (something about a student of his getting a heart transplant) or he brags about how the DMV testers are upset that his students are so "well-informed". Then we get to drive for maybe a couple of minutes before pulling over and he begins to yap again, afterwards he tells you to drive home, yaps a bit more, then schedules your next session. He expects you to practice in between each session which is completely FINE and understandable, but what kind of driving lesson only has you drive 5-10 minutes at the most, while also regurgitating information you already learned from the previous lesson? He's all about getting you ready for the driving test, nothing about driving on the freeway or anything else. But again, with 5-10 minutes behind the wheel, you're not getting your moneys worth or the prep you need for the test. You're essentially paying this chode to talk your ear off. Save your money or find an instructor who will give you the time you need behind the wheel.

It was easy communication to set everything up and she would come and pick them up at the door. She didn't honk at them in our driveway, but instead got out which I thought was awesome! From the boys perspective, she was very through with them while driving and they learned a lot from her. We already had 1 kid do their behind the wheel test and passed and the next one is in April. Only thing I didn't like was just the last minute cancels or rescheduling but I know life is hard but overall totally recommend it and will be using them again in a year or so again for the next teen in the house.

She did not honor the full 6 hours of instruction, showed up…read morelate for the scheduled dates, had to leave early and cut the driving sessions short, and my son said she was teaching him to drive contrary to DMV rules. Like telling him that he did not have to make a complete stop at stop signs, two second stop and go. Did not mention that one must look over the shoulder for bicyclist in the bike lane when turning right or merging into the bike lane. My son did not pass his behind the wheel test. I should have gone with the same driving school I used for my other child. I am so disappointed.

If you are not pressed for time or money, take the course. If you are signing up because you think it takes 22 days then please go to a different program. This school makes you take the program and wait an additional 3 weeks for the certificate. They are very rude. The teachers are great but the staff is horrible. Cecilia is the only administrator and has horrible communication. I have my certificate but 6 other students in my class are still waiting for responses. They made a student retake her clinicals because she forgot to turn in a physical. The school should be reported to the state for allowing students to take clinicals without proper documentation..a few students were also in high school and had to miss days for that and the school is making them wait 6 weeks to redo 1 or 2 days. It's actually surprising they are even open. On top of that I dare you to call them. The response rate is 1-2 weeks. I'm in the middle of reporting them to state and the BBB because I genuinely feel sick for the other students who are the mercy of the school since they don't give refunds. And if you think you can complain to TUBA the owner, WRONG. She's worse. She calls the students back and is so rude to them, how dare they waste her time. Anyways pay the extra money to go to another school like Eastlake medical college. Eastlake gives you your certificate and schedule your exams within 2 weeks of graduation. San Diego medical college makes you wait 3 weeks for the certificate and then you have to sign up for exams which can take 2 weeks. Dont confuse the Eastlake branch of San Diego medical college with Eastlake medical college. They are two different school.
