My son took driving lessons here, and his instructor, Johnathon, was fantastic. On the very first…read morelesson, Johnathon came right to our house to pick up my son and had him behind the wheel almost immediately. I'll admit I was a little nervous about how quickly he was put in the driver's seat, but looking back, it really helped him learn quickly and build confidence early on. Johnathon was patient and great with my son, who really liked working with him. On top of that, their prices were the most reasonable we found in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for a driving school that gets your teen real practice right away without breaking the bank.

He came an hour early so I could practice around Santa Monica. He was really nice and patient with me.

I would definitely recommend this place.

She is calm, professional, and has amazing tips to help make parking and merging so much easier than I ever thought it could be. Would highly recommend a 2 hour session for anyone who is looking to brush up. Just make sure at the beginning of the lesson you tell the instructor what specifically you're looking to improve :)

There was a slight hiccup from the first session but their Ops Manager, Mclean, handled it like an organizational pro and went above and beyond. It was smooth sailing from that point on. Everything from the automated communication, dashboard, and progress report keeps my informed as a parent. I'd use Primo again (1 kid down, 3 to go). My daughter raved about her experience with instructor Dunbar Dradley Jr. His cool and calm demeanor and the way he teaches really made a mark. Thanks Primo!

The added bonus is, he was previously a DMV examiner so he was able to give my son tips and pointers on what you would get points during the DMV test. I highly recommend City of Angels Driving School.

Jim is a class act and could be considered one of the best driving instructors in LA.

Thank you, A1 Driving!

Abraham should learn about customer service. My husband and I called to provide feedback on what…read morewas missed when our daughter took the driving course. At no time did we blame the instructor, however we wanted the school to know so that another student wouldn't fail. Instead of accepting the feedback Abraham became defensive, stated that within 6 hours not all could be taught, etc. Yes, I agree that not all can be taught in 6 hours, however something as big as when to use the center lane was big enough to cause my daughter to fail. Abraham minimized the feedback and stated an assumption was made that the instructor didn't teach our daughter. So he called my daughter a liar and our feedback as being a lie. Most companies would acknowledge the feedback and see how they can improve, if needed, their services. Not with A-1. We did not ask for a refund, extra classes or anything additional. We just wanted them to know about an important lesson that should be taught. Abraham do better next time! Nice try Abraham! Still can't accept that you handled both conversations poorly .

They then proceeded to drive well below the speed limit to a point where they were basically loitering in the middle of the road. Put it this way, they were so slow that I could easily get a picture of the phone number on the car so I could finally put in a complaint because this is not the first time I have seen issues with the drivers/cars from this school. I have previously seen cars from this driving school driving erratically but haven't been able to catch the phone number until now. I have also caught the cars from this driving school stopping at a red and just sitting there despite the fact that there is absolutely zero oncoming traffic. Other drivers get frustrated by this and then take extreme action to get around the driving school car because it appears the driver is just not paying attention to the road because they are not following normal traffic laws/rules. This is LA, you need to do better when it comes to how you teach people to drive. Your customers are entrusting you to show them how to drive safely and telling your students to make a turn when there's a quickly approaching vehicle, is just not safe. Not driving with the flow of traffic is also unsafe. If you are a new driver looking for a good driving school, go anywhere else but here. I would highly recommend AAA or some other more professional organization because this company just does not teach you how to drive properly in the city of Los Angeles. If you attended this school, you should be highly concerned.

I feel that their instructor Nathaniel harassed me. This man is probably around 50 and I'm 21 and I…read moreshowed up trying to learn how to drive, and he told me twice that my tattoo was "cute" (commented on two different tattoos) and that my voice was "cute." He also wasn't even a good instructor, we would get to a dead end and I'd have to ask him to turn left or right while being fully stopped. He reached over and adjusted my wheel slightly while on a residential street approximately 5 times without saying a word. I got annoyed and I asked him, "am I driving too close to the other cars?" to which he replied "yes." You're supposed to tell me that! I have reason to believe that it was partially to invade my space especially due to the flirty comments. I've never had another instructor behave this way before, tried him out and was disappointed. I asked for a refund for just that lesson after I had switched to another instructor for my remaining 4 hours I had prepaid as part of the package. I did this to not lose any more money to this company, and another instructor was sufficient for the remaining lessons. When I asked for one for ONLY the lesson with Nathaniel (which they should have offered in the first place), they offered me a complimentary lesson with another instructor instead, stating that they "understood my frustration" and would "have a conversation with him." This completely dodges accountability. This service is not what I paid for and I will be having to go out of my way to file a charge dispute with my bank to make things right. I also reported him to the DMV already online. When I posted about the school and reporting the school to the DMV on my Instagram account, one of my old coworkers reached out to me. She's 18. I didn't even mention his name in my post, yet she had asked me "did you get Nathaniel?". I was like "how the heck did you know?" And apparently he had harassed her too. He thought she was underage and still proceeded to make inappropriate comments about her height. Take this review as a warning. This man shouldn't be teaching driving to anybody ESPECIALLY high schoolers because he is abusing his position of power to harass young girls and women. They responded to this review alerting me that they were advised to sue. As a response, I have attached the email, which includes no personal information about anyone whatsoever, in which they acknowledged that his behavior was unacceptable, not "small talk." They also included in their public response to my review that "lessons are 2 hours long and can be stopped at any time if students feel uncomfortable." This sentence honestly really frustrated me because I feel that it inappropriately shifts the responsibility onto me, a new driver who did not know where we even were on the road or how to get back to the school, to tell a man 3 times my size and double my age while alone in the car with him and reliant on his guidance, that I feel uncomfortable and wish to stop the lesson and head back. I consider this victim blaming. The fact that I reached out the day after and did everything I could to inform them of his behavior and state that I was no longer comfortable working with him after the lesson should have been enough for them to absolve me of blame from this situation. Their response speaks for itself. I stand by my review and encourage fellow Yelpers to always share their experiences, good or bad.
