My uncle told us about this really good driving school. I enjoyed the simplicity of the lessons and the pacing of them and how easy is was to progress throughout them. read more

Jus felt overall worst after taking class here they kept insisting I pay for more classes made me feel like I had no idea what I was doing waste of my time and money. They want cash that way you can ask for refund the service sucks. Go to coastline they are amazing this school is horrible. I passed my driving test meanwhile they said I was not ready. Only good thing is the price but not worth it a waste. read more

Only basic training. My daughter did not drive on the freeway or pull into parking spaces. I had to teach her most of the basics.

I am a mother of 16 year old triplets and when I say it takes a village... it does. As of today, I have 2 out of 3 licensed drivers. The 3rd one tests next month. All 3 have been instructed by Carmen and all three are amazing drivers due to her guidance and knowledge. Thank you Genesis for keeping my babies safe. Priceless. read more

Genesis 1 Driving School - He passed!!!!!! - Driving Schools Near Me - Canyon Country, California

Carmen, I hope you're reading this. Let me start off by saying that my lesson lasted less than an hour. Carmen, you made me feel stupid, lectured me about how I should have been paying attention, basically calling me an idiot, and how "Bobo este niño es." If you want a cruel, uncomfortable driving experience, go with genesis 1. Ay, Carmens students have passed 1st try every single time. I remembered that because she told me around 10 times. read more

For my son, I had previously used Right Way Driving school. They were fine, but only offered 3 lessons, no freeway driving and was more expensive than Ernesto. For my daughter, we were in line at the Newhall DMV for her permit and saw Ernesto & a student in line for his behind-the-wheel driving test (he passed). I scheduled the first of 4 lessons with Ernesto in the spot. He confirmed the lesson on the day and texted me to let me know he was outside of our home (10 mins early BTW). My daughter came back from that lesson feeling safe, confident and testing my driving knowledge. She was engaged. After 3 subsequent lessons and a very "drive test" mindset, she took her behind-the-wheel test at the Lancaster DMV. She passed with flying colors on the first shot and said she was so glad Ernesto had covered all the aspects of the drive test with her. Thank you Ernesto! You are an excellent instructor. read more

ya pase mi prueba de manejo despues de 2 intentos q realize por mi cuenta la primer ves ise 21 puntos malos la 2 ise 15 y ya tomando las clases de manejo con el señor Ernesto ya pude pasar el seamen de manejo y me aprobaron ni licencia read more

I learned a lot of new things.I got better every lesson.My mom feels more safer with me. I would recommend.

I have not used their service, however their company-labeled car was being driven with one driver, presumably an instructor. They were forced to my attention because of their irresponsible driving. I was driving about 70mph in my line and they were going probably between 35-40 in their lane. As an instructor you should know to look in your mirrors when you lane change, but they didn't and proceeded to drive into my lane, completely cutting me off and forcing me to slam on my breaks. I honked but there seemed to be no response. When I changed lanes to get past him I saw he had headphones in. HEADPHONES. Do not trust this company if their own drivers do not understand traffic laws and etiquette. They put me at risk of an accident because they were careless read more

I personally loved working with Ernesto behind the wheel!! He is very comfortable to drive with & a nice guy all around. He is patient, and works very well with anxious/beginner drivers. You leave every lesson with new information that is now engraved in your mind for driving. He will prepare you to be a safe & non-selfish driver on the road, I definitely suggest using Genesis 1 Driving School for your driving lessons :) read more

Very much enjoyed the excellent and professional experience. Ernesto was very knowledgeable and caring teaching our grandson to drive . Would recommend to anyone looking for great service. Offers a follow up refreshing course and will take student for actual driving test at DMV . Thank you read more

I wish I Could give 0 stars, the driving instructor was very unprofessional and always canceled or re-scheduled appointments. Was also not understanding. Overall very unprofessional. read more

I do believe in how they work professional and how they teach driving and i am so satisfied with this company because i have passed my driving test at the first time. Now i became a good driver in california. Thank you again. read more

Ernesto offered first class customer service for our daughter. She felt comfortable and relaxed while she was driving. The option to use his car for the actual DMV drivers test was nice. His prices are very aggressive. For those who expect an immediate response when you call, remember he is driving your kids and they need your attention. Leaving a voicemail always worked for us. read more

Ernesto was my driving instructor and he was a very good instructor and taught me very well. The lessons were very good and he taught me a lot. read more

If I could give NO stars, I would. They gave my daughter the run around. First, after the initial lessons, it took TWO months of calling before they called back. We just wanted the certificate from them. My daughter couldn't take her test until we got the certificate. When he finally called back, he said he'd make the driving test appointment for my daughter and take her and give her the certificate the day of. By the way, every time we called he had to take our information down again. The day of my daughter's driving test, he demanded another $95 and told us it was because he was going to pick her up in the morning before the test to practice. When they got to the DMV, they found out that the guy made the appointment for the following week. It was the date of my daughter's school registration, and she couldn't do it the day it had actually been scheduled for. This alone is annoying as it was, but when my sister got back that day, she said the guy had berated her and was rude. He had said things like, "Do you WANT you license? Then drive like it." I get that new drivers are not the best, but my daughter is a straight A student, has been practicing driving for several weeks, and her worst infraction was stopping too far behind the stop line and not parking straight enough. We went to this driving school because everyone we've talked to said this was the best, but clearly they're losing their touch. read more

I just finished my 2nd lesson with Ernesto. By far the worst driving instructor I had ever had. He's very unprofessional, rude and had no patience. He wanted to book my driving lessons every other week?!?!. What kind of driving school permits that ? He made me uncomfortable driving by aggressively pointing out my errors. Also he kept running late to every lesson. He's very inconsistent of the dates and time of my driving lessons. I made the choice to stop booking my driving lessons with Ernesto. I will much rather be taught by someone else and invest my money in another driving school that's PROFESSIONAL. read more

ernesto was an amazing instructor! he was very patient and knowledgeable. i would recommend using him for your lessons because of the fair price and good teaching. i passed my driving test on the first try thanks to him :) read more

This was a great school. My daughter started with a different school. I was not happy with the other school. I called Genesis and left a message. They called me back within an hour. I explained that my daughter had a diffrerent school and learned nothing. They had no problem with that. I made an appt a few days later. The driving instructor was on time( which is super important).. After the first appt with the instructor my daughter learned so much. The day of the driving test he took her around for a pre test. She was so pre paired for driving test! She passed it with a near perfect score!!!--- she forgot the parking break at the end of the test(lol) read more

She is a horrible teacher she keeps changing the schedule she even put 1 student in the same car with my son because she was behind schedule she keeps forgetting everything and she averages a schedule change of 9 times a day for us. read more

He makes you book sessions every week, eats up your class time by using the bathroom for every session every time. Yells at you saying you suck and if you even want to get your license. Belittled you even though you're the one paying for the service. He asked me "whats wrong with you" "do you even want to get your license, act like it" and yelled at me in the harshest tone. Charges you double the amount for driving lessons just to take you to the driving test. Ernesto and Carmen are the worst and unprofessional, he treats you horrible and corrects you in the harshest manner. Don't go to this school, I don't know how they stay in business. He's almost very harassing as he constantly question my nationality and made rude remarks, on the last lesson he never taught me how to back up or park. He just made me hover over the curb. Waste of money read more

I learned with Ernesto he is very good at explaining things he was able to take me on the freeway for the very first time on my 3rd lesson with ease. Thank so mush to Ernesto I have now passed my divers test. read more

I would highly recommend Genesis. Ernesto taught my daughter a lot. She said he was the most patient and calm man she ever met. It was easy to schedule appointments, and Ernesto returned calls quickly. After the lesson Ernesto would tell you areas needed to practice. Thanks, Ernesto. read more

I am a 25 year old female who has never had her license due to extreme fear of driving. I was previously in an accident many years ago in high school with another driver and I have continued to have crippling anxiety in any driving situations. Today--I took my behind the wheel test and I PASSED and am a licensed CA driver! Ernesto was my drive instructor. He is courteous, kind, and calm in all situations. His ability to stay calm was very important to me because if I did make a mistake he was able to keep a calm energy in the vehicle. After my mistake he would explain to me why it was a mistake and what to do to correct it. If I had questions he would willingly answer and he would tell where I was improving in my driving abilities. I also appreciated that he still made a focus on things I continued to do by mistake which would not allow me to pass the DMV behind the wheel test. He also has experience in teaching driving lessons in LA and DTLA which are much more difficult places to drive than my location. Thank you Genesis 1 Driving School! read more

Very unreliable!!! My daughter schedule an appointment for a driving test at DMV the guy didn't show up to pick her up and she ended up missing her appointment. She called him a day prior and on the day of the appointment and didn't get a response from him at all. read more

Genesis 1 Driving School - "Hello Genesis 1 driving school where safety is job 1...well top 10 anyway. " - Driving Schools Near Me - Canyon Country, California

We had almost given up on getting my daughter a driver's license. She is an extremely nervous driver. My husband and I taught her for a year and a half how to drive and she failed the test three times. We hired Ernesto as a last resort. He was so encouraging to us. He was professional - always on time, kind, and courteous. After each lesson, he would talk to me about how the lesson went that day with kind and encouraging words. He was blessed with an infinite amount of patience. I noticed after a few weeks that her driving had improved a great deal and that her confidence had grown when driving. On the day of the road test, Ernesto went above and beyond and came to the house and had her drive around to have a final review and then he took her to the DMV for the road test. At the DMV, just before the test, he gave her a pep talk with encouraging words. He stayed at the DMV until she came back from the road test, and when I looked up they were all smiles. We hugged and I was so grateful. I would recommend him to everyone. I gave him 5 stars because he is an amazing person and teacher. read more

I would give it no stars if I could. He constantly forgot about appointments, when I would call him he would say he had called me previously and cancelled. I checked my answering machine. No call. This happened to my best friend too. He also left town multiple times making it so I had to wait to get my license. He was rude to me constantly. I also had to run errands for him during my lesson. More than once I had to pick up his friends and sit at the store. So unprofessional. Safe to say I do not reccomend him to anyone. read more

Regret choosing this driving school, Carmen, who taught me, was always teaching me as if she was in a rush, would usually give me attitude, and forget that I'M the one paying her to teach me, not the other way around. Car is also always dirty and smells weird. Do not choose to learn from this school! read more

Carmen at Genesis 1 was great! She was very professional, calm and knew all of the rules and paperwork required by the DMV. She even offered to take my son to his DMV driving appointment and to use her car for the driving test if needed. Thank you, Carmen, for helping my son succeed in passing the first time around!!! read more

The place looks like a dump, sorry to say but after reading the other review I wouldn't like to go here either. Thank you to Melissa A. for your review, I will take my business elsewhere. read more

I would give this driving school 0 stars if I could. I think the "instructor's" name is Ernesto. He was supposed to teach me how to drive today. It's been over an hour since he was supposed to come. He never showed up. We called and texted him. He STILL hasn't answered. He didn't even have the decency to call and cancel! That's when I decided to look at his yelp reviews. It's full of negative reviews. Various people call him rude and unprofessional. I didn't meet him but I can still confirm that he is extremely unprofessional. I'm glad he didn't show up, I didn't waste my money on a rude person who doesn't know how to teach. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY/TIME WITH THESE PEOPLE!! read more

The best driving school in SCV I started driving when I was 17 1/2 and was taught by Ernesto I passed my test on the first try that time. Today 10/8/18 I had to take my behind the wheel exam again due to a vision problem, and the first person I thought about to brush up on my driving and relearn the right way to drive was Ernesto at Genesis still the same knowledgeable and patient instructor I remember and I passed the test with only 2 minor errors. Great driving school and very affordable and they work around your schedule pick you up wherever is convenient and drop you off. The instructors are fluent in English as well as Spanish. 100% would recommend them. read more

I was nervous to drive for the first time and from the very first lesson Ernesto made me feel comfortable and confident on the road. He was patient and knowledgeable and I was able to pass my driving test on my first try! I would highly recommend Genesis 1 Driving School! read more

Great driving school. Very thorough with his teaching and corrections. As one of his students, he made sure I understood everything well and made sure to specialize in anything I needed improvement on. I passed my drivers exam, no problem and I wouldn't have been able to without Ernesto's lessons. read more

I am thankful that I got a recommendation to try Genesis 1 after my daughter had a bad experience with another driving school in SCV. My first call with Ernesto was amazing. He put my mind at ease and made the process of booking appointments super easy. I let him know that I had anxiety driving with my daughter and he offered for me to ride along and listen to how he was teaching her so I could mirror it. She had several appointments with him and he was very calm, friendly, caring and always on time. He was thoughtful in his feedback and my daughter always felt comfortable. The entire lessons were focused on her improvement. One of the best things about my experience is how easy booking an appointment was. You won't find this with other driving schools. The customer service is top notch. I can not recommend Genesis highly enough. Ernesto goes above and beyond and the experience was fantastic. read more

this guys are unsafe, please do not send you kid to this horrible driving training school. and they refuse to issue a receipt I paid for the first lesson. horrible.... bad people. read more

I took one driving class and planned on taking more but he never responded. During my first session, he was very unprofessional. He had me drive to his home so we could switch cars and when we arrived, the other car was dirty and he made his son clean it up. They were arguing while I awkwardly waited in the car and I felt really uncomfortable. His son then proceeded to clean the trash he left in the car while I was in the driver's seat. This was a very unprofessional move. Although I had called him to schedule another session, he ignored my calls which was another unprofessional move. I thought he had gone out of business but it turns out he really was ignoring my call because I had saw his car later through the month. I would have to describe him as an impatient instructor. I would not recommend this driving school. read more

Carmen was my son's driving instructor. Her thick accent was hard to understand. My son said she scolded him and had a harsh manor. He decided to switch schools for his final two hours of instruction and found Santa Clarita Driving School to be a much better choice. read more

This company is great. The instructor, Ernesto, is great and very thorough in every category. My permit was going to expire on May 30 and I first contacted him around May 1st. I scheduled my first lesson on the third and went over an introduction to driving, including turning and breaking, as well as maintaining speed. On my second lesson, it definitely stepped up. I practiced doing several lane changes, the way the dmv wants it. Everything is taught to the dmv's standards. During the third lesson, I went on the freeway and reviewed for my test. Today, may 30th, I went to the Palmdale dmv with my instructor for my test and I only missed two points! I absolutely recommend this company to anyone. Very professional and the instructor is great. Thank you for the amazing experience! I feel confident and safe with the skills I learned. Thank you again! read more
