Highly recommended this school. My daughter did the Behind The Wheel course and her instructors were great. Drivers were prompt and personable and focused on the areas she needed most improvement. Love that they drive all around in the valley, airport to downtown to residential areas and work zones. Office staff was super in scheduling appointments. SHE PASSED HER ROAD TEST ON THE FIRST TRY WITH ZERO DEDUCTIONS! read more

We were so impressed with the driving instructors, and the entire staff! Our son learned so much from each instructor, and it was nice to have someone else teaching him all the rules of the road. Each instructor after his drive would write out a detailed report of specific items... I was so impressed with the time they all would take, and to give such valuable feedback was exactly what each parent wants!!! Highly recommended!!!! read more

I can only give this company 1 star based on their disappointing costumer service. Our daughter took the Saturday class and enjoyed it. However, when it comes to scheduling the driving sessions, a total disappointment!! Let me start by saying when I initially signed up I was clear that I wanted to get all 4 driving sessions in before May 9. I even confirmed this in an email and was of course told it would not be a Problem. But as you might assume, it was a huge problem!! The woman who schedules offers all sorts of half truths to cover for the fact that it is a joke to schedule anything. She says 3-4 weeks out to schedule. And yet she could only offer dates 6- 7 weeks out. When I asked about why it was so difficult to get in the schedule, she said it was because I live so far away. Well when I offered to drive in to their office and have her picked up from there - Guess what?? Still no drivers available. Additionally, because they don't have driver's schedules beyond the 7 weeks or so, I wasn't even able to get on the schedule ahead of time. Instead she told me to keep calling back on the off chance that a driver turns in his schedule. When she finally got frustrated enough with me she offered two dates. I took them, scheduled the times and everything. 1 week before the first drive I checked the website and the dates were not listed. When I called to enquirer suddenly those dates were tentative. What??? Now there was no way to get 4 drives in before May 9th. She was pleased and quick in giving me a refund, as I could tell from her cranky attitude that she was done with me. Thank goodness. I called another driving school, and was able to get all 4 dates scheduled. About 30 dollars more and those dates weren't perfect but at least I had options and a kind person to help me. Btw, their calendar is available at least 6+ months in advance. (Not done by one lady and a pencil). Thank you Stop and Go Driving School! read more

Well let's just say this, I attended the class after I had my permit just before I was able to get my license and I enjoyed the class, it really did clear a few things up for me. Then I did my first driving outing with them from 630 to 9:30 PM. Not only was the instructor a good 30 minutes late, but he wasn't very social he didn't really talk about much he just kind of sat there. Which in some cases is good in others bad so I totally get it. Going onto the second Drive, which is now been rebooked at least three times, I decide to call again about 20 minutes ago just to make sure that the instructor isn't just late again, as he should have been here 20 minutes ago. Nope! They took me and bumped me back over three hours after when my drive was scheduled. This is now the third time that we are rescheduling a drive. As a student studying for finals, as well as working, it's not exactly easy to just take a day off. I have now missed over two days of working, to be presented with no-shows, and excuses. This is what I wanted for my birthday, this driving school to help me become a safer, better driver. This was my 16th birthday gift, this was what I wanted and let's just say this, but I am very disappointed with it. read more

This school is wonderful! The instructors are great and the office staff is very helpful in answering questions and scheduling. I am happy to say that my daughter enjoyed her experience with the school and as I parent, I am thrilled with the outcome - she passed all parts of the program and is now a licensed driver! I have and will continue to recommend this program to everyone I know with a teen driver. Thank you again! read more

I can not say enough good things about the Institute For Drivers Safety. My son took the lessons 4 years ago and now my daughter is in full swing with the school and their terrific instructors. And a huge thank you to Joe Navarro for not only being a perfect teacher to both of my teens, but for also giving an interesting, informative and heartfelt talk to our Class of 2020 NCL (National Charity League) girls about safety and being prepared as they obtain their driving permits and prepare for the upcoming road test and a life of driving. Joe and the Institute For Drivers Safety make our roads safer! Make sure you hire this team to get your teen ready for the road. Crucial! read more

My daughter didn't learn anything in the "class" and it was a waist of time. She ended up studying on her own. Class use to be much better when my oldest child went there. But not the same any more. read more

I was somewhat hesitant after reading prior reviews, but went ahead on the recommendation of a friend. I have been very happy with the service - good response to telephone calls and scheduling drives. People are picky and want their kids licensed immediately. I booked my son's drives a month out, but was able to schedule them sooner based on "canceled appt" emails. I have been happy. read more

I am so thankful for Institute for Driver Safety. They were able to get my daughter out, and help her correct some of the things we could not teach her due to our work schedules. I would highly recommend this school. They will work with your schedules, and take your daughter out where we would not have thought of taking her. Also, Melissa in the office is a tremendous help when you need to schedule her classes. read more

I had both my daughters take this course and it was amazing... They took them down town, to the airport, on all the main freeways, helped save a lot of time sitting at DMV... All the gentlemen that taught my daughters were Police men, who better to learn from? They taught both my girls well, thank you... read more

Very disappointing. The so called instructors are NOT consistent with instructions on how to drive. We had Larry, Joe and Greg. Greg knew the most about driving and was very on point. Larry was friendly and was similar to Greg's instructions. Joe just talked MORE to me as if he wanted me happy than giving me detail about driving, very silly not worth the lesson. I will not send my twins to your school next year. You should have that Marine and retired Phx person teach Joe something. Sorry I do not recall who was the marine or from Phx. Much respect to you two gentlemen. read more

My daughter took both a classroom section, and 2 behind the wheel 3 hour drives. The classroom section was a bit boring to her as I am sure it would be to any almost 16 year old. It was required for our insurance discount, and I also felt like it was important because it's been years since I have had to test for my license and I wanted to make sure she was actually getting correct information. She ended up having friends in the class since most kids seem to go to this school so she was happy about that. After you take the in class instruction you are eligible for the behind the wheel. My daughters instructor was Joe Navarro, and he was AMAZING. Very patient and very thorough. He came to our home and explained everything to all three of us as far as where they would be going, what they would be working on, and when to expect them back. He asked if there was anything specific that we wanted him to work with her on, and if there was anything specific that she was unsure of in her driving or that she just needed more practice with. She had been driving quite a bit with me so I was curious to hear his opinion of her driving. When they came back 3 hours later he gave me a pretty detailed list (which I appreciated) of the positives, and the things that needed improvement. Then he gave her some homework that she should do before she takes her driving test 6 weeks away. One thing he told me as a parent that I really appreciated was the DMV will have them pull out of the lot, and take 4 right turns, then either parallel park or do the 3 point turn. As a parent you want to be confident that your kid can really master several different driving situations, not just go around the block and park. I took that to heart because I want to be confident knowing that she really is a good driver before she gets that license. I feel like Joe really cares about turning out good drivers, not just helping kids pass that test. read more

Thank you for taking the time to teach my daughter.... You went over and beyond what a typical business would do. Your instructor arrived at our home and my daughter did not feel well. He kindly said don't worry. Your instructor actually rescheduled the drive on his day OFF!! I even called the day of the drive to confirm and the secretary said it was his day off he would call you back at a later time. WOW WHAT GREAT SERVICE WHAT OTHER COMPANY WOULD HAVE SOMEONE COME ON THEIR DAY OFF. THANK YOU THANK THANK YOU.... read more

If i could give less than one star I would!!! God help you if they file any information you give them it will only seem to get lost, and they will deny up and down ever getting it!! I could handle paying 650 for four driving courses, what I couldn't handle was them coming a day in advance while I was at work, did they some how think i would drive using telekinesis??? No they called my phone a thousand times supposably!! The problem with that i had changed that number a week after i scheduled my appointment and while i called the day i had received my new number so they could list it for future use they decide it against listing it, when i called about the confused date they denied it up and down saying i had scheduled that day and gave no number apparently i had scheduled the drive only to sit at work and have them do a scavenger hunt, so now i have to pay a fee of 50 dollar to schedule a new drive all because they didn't feel the need to write down a simple number. You would think with customers paying 650 they would be a little more attentive apparently they stop caring once they receive that check. read more
