Highly recommend this school to everyone who wants to learn how to drive safely. Brad is very patient, professional and friendly. The goal of him is not to only help you drive safely but also confidently. I used to be scared of driving but he helped me get over this feeling really fast! The website is also very useful, and you can even book 30 minute driving-to-school practice session on weekday morning ! Thank you Brad! read more

If anyone is in need of a driving school for your teenager,this is the one to get.I learned about them through a good friend and so I called them for my oldest son two years ago.He had a great instructor named Bob.I recently called them again for my middle son and his instructor was Steve.Steve was calm and patient and my son felt very comfortable and at ease with him.They go over everything they need to know.all the safety requirements and guidelines and also go over the descriptions of the car.I had the 3 lesson package for both my boys.It is also very reasonable in price. Now I feel very comfortable taking my son to his behind the wheel test because I know Steve prepared him well.Will be calling them again soon for my daughter. I highly recommend this school! read more

We have had the best experience with HomeSafe from the beginning! My daughter registered & completed the online driver's ed through HomeSafe and got her permit on the first try. Brad was her driving instructor and he was super friendly, professional, and patient. I couldn't ask for a better person to teach her. After each lesson he always gave us a great constructive summary of how the lesson went, and things to work on. I really appreciated how calm and positive he is. My daughter felt totally comfortable with him, and I did as well, which is priceless. She learned a lot and he provided a great variety of driving situations: freeways, PCH, small residential streets, regular & parallel parking, uphill/downhill, etc. All of which I would not have been able to do myself! She has one last lesson right before her test and she feels really good about how prepared she is. Scheduling was great too, Ali was wonderful! She was able to make things work when we were having trouble with my daughter's busy schedule. It is comforting to know this company is a great family business with absolutely the best people! read more

Thanks a lot to Steve and Home Safe for putting up with my erratic schedule and getting my daughter to pass her behind the wheel DMV test with flying colors on the first try. They listened to me on the things I wanted them to cover, they are very knowledgeable on what would be on the test, and they gave her a huge confidence boost. Plus, they were able to juggle things and fill in cancellations with our lessons so we never had to reschedule our tests. read more

After a bit of research I selected HomeSafe Driving School for my son's behind the wheel. The communication in scheduling was great. At one point I made an error and they fixed it right away after I emailed them. Brad was my son's instructor, and was always prompt and on-time. He took my son all over Orange County, and I feel he had a good amount of practice on busy streets, freeways and at night. Brad asked which DMV location my son was taking his behind the wheel test, and took him to that area for a run-through of the area. I highly recommend HomeSafe Driving School! read more

It is no small thing to send your teenage driver off for a few hours of driving lessons with someone you only know through a recommendation. We are grateful for the kind, patient and trustworthy instructors at HomeSafe Driving School. Both of our kids passed the behind-the-wheel test on the first try, and our youngest had only one error. Brad was thorough in his instruction, detailed in what needed improvement and encouraging all along the way. Every experience with office staff /texts/calls was professional and friendly. I highly recommend HomeSafe! read more

My daughter took in class instruction with Homesafe and has had two 2 hr sessions of BTW with instructors so far. She got her permit on her first attempt! She's learning a lot and the people are very knowledgeable and personable. She has two more sessions with them and then goes to take her drivers license test. I have complete confidence that she'll do great. I highly recommend HomeSafe for a first time teen driver. read more

This is definitely the best driving school: from the excellent customer online / phone service to its highly experienced and dedicated instructors. My instructor Brad was patient, supportive, and explained everything to me about driving behind the wheel instructions. He was always on time, and gave me the confidence to drive from scratch, which erased my anxiety. He is a great instructor who represents a successful driving school. I highly recommend Homesafe Driving school for anyone who looking for honest, patient, and experienced instructors teaching you the basics of driving and highlighting tips for passing the behind the wheel test. read more

Sterling was my son's driving instructor. Great instructor, close by and convenient. Great company. Punctual, available, high quality instruction. Sterling took the time to really get to know my new driver and built his confidence behind the wheel by giving sound instruction and encouragement. Completely satisfied on this great Driving School! read more

My 16 yr old had been practicing on a permit for some months, but was still nervous. In 3 lessons Brad calmed her down and really showed her how to think with driving! He was caring but firm. She passed her driving test on the first try (woohoo) but she really learned a lot from Brad also. Have 3 more kids, will be using Brad for sure!! read more

HomeSafe Driving School - She did it!! Thanks Brad for all the help #homesafedrivingschool - Driving Schools Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

HomeSafe is an exceptional driving school and I would highly recommend them. The lessons are one on one and they allow the parent to accompany the lesson (so you can learn some techniques too !) My daughter was anxious at first but Brad helped her relax. Scheduling lessons is very easy to schedule on-line as well. Brad was a great teacher and helped my daughter pass her test on the first try! They also let us use their car for the driving test and Brad even came early to let her practice. I will use them again when my younger daughter is ready for her license. read more

I was new in US and I already had a driving license from my home country. But the rules and traffic laws was so different here that I needed expert guidance to pass my behind the wheel test and get a license. Thats when I called Steve of homesafedriving school. I already had an test appointment fixed at DMV and even in such a short notice of less than a week's time, Steve took the extra step to schedule my driving lessons. Brad was my instructor and I am so thankful to his excellent guidance which helped me pass the behind the wheel test at my first attempt. Brad is very patient and his lessons really helped me build my confidence to drive here.From my experience I would recommend Brad's driving lessons. Once again, thanks a lot to Brad and Steve ! (I wrote this review somewhere during April 2014. Since the yelp did not got my email confirmed, it was pending and it got posted now) read more

I'm writing an amendment to my original review. Home safe did contact me in a very professional reply, trying to resolve the communication issue i had. Apparently there was an issue with their web to email service, when prevented them from seeing my messages to them. And as far as me not being able to reach them via the phone number on yelp, when I checked my phone log, it was my error, a misdial, and I'll own that mistake. Due to their exceptional follow up to resolve the issue, i will reconsider using them next year for my next child. ( I already paid for another company for this kiddo, literally 5 minutes before reading their nice email back to me) read more

Brad is the best! I have nothing but positive things to say about him as an instructor and the staff in general. My son drives quite a distance to high school and is frequently on the freeway. Brad had him drive on multiple freeways and also on the Long Beach traffic circle right away. According to my son, he was always very patient and calm no matter what! I found him to be very personable and he spent the time with me after each lesson to go over what my son had learned and what he needed to work on. My son passed his test on the first try, and I think Brad was a big reason why! I have recommended him to many friends without hesitation and everyone has been very pleased. This was a rare experience where I can honestly say I was 100% satisfied in every way! EDIT 1/2018 to add that we used Home Safe (and Brad) again last year for my younger son. We were just as pleased, and this son also passed his test on the first try. We have recommended this company to everyone and all have been happy with their service! read more

Nice instructors. Very effective. I used HomeSafe for both my kids and I was very satisfied.

My son had a horrible experience with a different local driving school. Home safe was recommended by a friend. I am so glad we chose them! Brad was great with my son. My son was very comfortable with him and I believe he is a better driving because of him. He passed his drive test! read more

My son had nothing but good things to say about Brad. He came away more confident behind the wheel and is ready for his test.

This is my second review for Homesafe driving school. Steve taught my daughter several years ago and just finished my son's last lesson. I have been so impressed with this company. Steve was professional and really worked to make sure my son was confident in many situations. He took him to different towns so he would encounter different road conditions from windy beach roads to freeways. Ally came through for me when we had a hiccup with our online certificate. It didn't arrive in time for our appointment and she personally delivered it to my home. I can not recommend this company any more highly. They truly go above and beyond for their customers. read more

Great 1.5 hour lessons! Prepared my daughter well! Easy communication and quick response! Clean and safe during Covid!

We have been so pleased with Home Safe! Brad & Janet are wonderful teachers, easy to work with, and our daughter is now an excellent driver!! Every aspect of drivers-ed was made easier by Home Safe Driving School. I chose Brad because he teaches Drivers Education at both Goldenwest & Orange Coast College. He had excellent reviews as a teacher so I thought that was a great place to start. From scheduling, to our daughters experience behind the wheel, they were always on time and very professional! Brad was extremely patient & terrific at explaining things. We highly, highly recommend Home Safe Driving School! read more

I got the referral to HomeSafe from my APA moms at Huntington Beach High school. We have Steve and Brad as our instructors. We couldn't be happier. They both are excellent instructors. They are very nice and has a good sense of humor, not intimidating at all for our teens. Are lessons were right after school and they come to our house in HB. Steve is a retired policeman, as I understand, and gave lots of safety tips!!!! They have an excellent online scheduling program that lets you pay and gives you reminders. It's very easy and helpful. Also, Ali can help with any questions when calling. She works hard at her job and worked on Sunday to get me in on a cancellation. They answer their emails too!! read more

I am happy to have found HomeSafe Driving school for our son. After an extremely frustrating and unprofessional experience with another company, I followed the Yelp! reviews to HomeSafe. After speaking with Ali via phone, I knew we were in good hands. Our driver was prompt, very professional, and patient. His remarks and feedback for our son were very helpful. Thank you Ali and the entire team at HomeSafe! read more

Andy Becker was such a great driving instructor, I passed my behind the wheel exam on my first try and I wouldn't have been able to do it without all of Andy's tips and tricks great guy and great company to work with. The cars were top notch and are probably the best to learn in if your starting out at 16 like me super clean, super safe, and brake pedals on the instructor side as well as the drivers side for maximum safety read more

I would highly recommend this driving school. Nice family run business. Very professional and friendly. Great to work with. They're booked up almost a month in advance. But both times they got us in in about a week on a cancellation. My son picked a different driver for each of his lessons. Steve was his favorite! Great guy! Retired policeman. I highly recommend this school! read more

I have two hours class for driving behind the wheel with Sterling. He is so patient, kind, and he has really good knowledge and tips for driving and test. My class was so useful. I passed my drivers test with just four mistakes two days after my class with Sterling. I highly recommend him. read more

Brad was a wonderful instructor and did an awsome job with my daughter. He had the knowledge and patience to work with a teen, which isn't an easy job. I felt completely comfortable with the lessons and thought the information given to the parent was just what I needed. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a driving school to consider Apex and use Brad. My daughter felt like she understood what was expected of her as a new driver and she learned the skills needed and gained confidence along the way. Way to go Mr. Brad and thanks so much for your dedication and efforts. read more

Today was "THAT" day for me. My son got his license. What an incredible Driving School. CHOOSE HomeSafe Driving School. We decided to use HomeSafe Driving School due to the high ratings. I was skeptical at first however I could not have been more wrong. This driving school is AMAZING. Brad and the other staff members at HomeSafe have been very helpful and understanding. I strongly recommend this school for anyone needing to get their license. They were always teaching my son of all the different scenarios that may happen out there and also made sure he read the book. I hope it is ok to mention this - I was not able to take my son today to take his driving test. Believe it or not - Bradley offered to take him. He picked my son up from school, took him all the way to San Clemente, let him drive there - coached him on the way down there. Sent me pictures and videos of the event. Thank you HomeSafe Driving School! read more

Wow, so impressed with Ali and Janet!! They were both wonderful with communication and driving instruction even during the covid crisis!! I feel they both went above and beyond and my son passed his driving test on the first try with minimal errors!! Doesn't get much better than this company!! read more

Two attempts to get info on the lesson prices and program with no response. Very disappointed in lack of response or interest in potential new clients. read more

My daughter needed an additional lesson prior to her behind the wheel exam and Home Safe Driving School offered me a convenient time around our busy schedules. My daughter said her driving instructor Steve was nice and extremely helpful pointing out tips to improve her driving skills prior to her test. He familiarized her with the Costa Mesa area, since we are from Lake Forest. My daughter "PASSED" her behind the wheel test this week, and we both appreciate Steve's helpful knowledge and expertise. THANKS! read more

Great service, instruction, and value. You can trust this company with your new driver. We've had 2 kids plus many many friends benefit from their service and instruction. This is a safe, caring, valuable, high level of instruction for your child. read more

Brad is committed to excellence in all he strives for! Great driving instructor and has a passion for teaching youth, would highly recommend. read more

This is a great driving school for our children. Family owned with great staff. My daughter felt very safe with her drivers and the parents are welcome to drive along if they want too. I chose not too, but knowing it's an option is great! read more

This school is absolutely amazing. I am 25 and have had my permit 4 times- I always considered driving a nervous, stressful event every time I got behind the wheel. I used to sweat like there was no tomorrow when I sat in that driver's seat. However, Brad and Home Safe Driving School has changed all of that around and more!!! Brad has helped me build a confidence in driving I never knew I could have. With every driving lesson, I became significantly less nervous while driving and actually looked forward to driving with Brad. I felt like a better driver each time. I have had 4 other driving instructors and Brad is the best one hands down. Brad is positive, encouraging, and funny which helps ease your nervousness. When you make a mistake, he does not make you feel bad about it (like some of my other instructors have), but instead gives constructive feedback. He also goes above and beyond other driving instructors during his lessons which you have to experience yourself. He has turned me, a person who hated driving bc I was always so nervous when I got behind the wheel, into a person who likes to drive. His valuable lessons will stick with me through out all my driving years to come. After 9 years off and on of trying to get my license, I passed my first ever behind the wheels test last week and I seriously owe it to Brad. Linda and Janet are also extremely supportive and the nicest people. As someone has said before, they are very courteous about scheduling or re-scheduling. Brad, Linda, and Janet really care about you and your driving safety and confidence. They are very personable and make you feel warm and welcome. I would totally recommend Home Safe Driving School. Plus, after spending a little bit more time getting to know Brad and Linda better, I have realized they are really good-hearted people. Home Safe Driving School is a winner in so many ways!! read more

Brad is the best! Our kid took his class at OCC and was able to ace the written at the DMV. He was a wonderful driving instructor. So happy that our kid learned the rules of the road. read more

It is very easy to schedule an online appointment and the instructor is so casual which really helps the nerves! I have been driving for over 35 years and my son still learned some things from them that I did not know. I highly recommend HomeSafe! read more

Driving lessons with HomeSafe Driving School has been top notch from the start. From our initial phone contact with Linda to my son's lessons with Raul, they have been outstanding. Linda is always so courteous and helpful. I had to reschedule my son's lessons several times and she is always so willing to help and be flexible. We have one lesson left for our oldest and 3 younger kids coming up. We will most definitely be getting our lessons with HomeSafe!! read more

My instructor Steve was great! I learned so much during my 6 hours of training and feel confident that I can pass my behind the wheel test. He also went out of his way to teach me everything I need to know be a safe driver. I highly reccomend Homesafe to any new drivers out there or to anyone who wants to become a better driver. Thanks! read more

Honestly, they are simply the best, I cannot say enough about Brad and the entire staff. They went above and beyond to help me organize the paperwork and prepare, and, more importantly, they really got my son ready in a way he looked forward to. The advice and safety message was clear and related in such a warm and fun way for my son. Thank you!! P.S. He passed his test first time and got remarks from the tester about his skill :) read more

My son learn so much in such a short time . Linda and Steve are AWESOME . From the moment I called Linda was really nice and great customer service . Steve the is amazing he treats his students like one of his own children . Highly recommend this place read more
