Took my nephew here and it was the best decision ever ! We were looking for driving schools all over the county and we gave this one a chance! The instructor Matt was so calm and gave amazing instructions to my nephew to where it was easy to understand. My nephew isn't nervous anymore. They preach safety so I salute them for that. Thank you for sticking with us all the way to end when he got his license. read more

Zaya went out of his way to ensure that my daughter's instruction hours were well worth the time that they put into preparing for her driving test, which she passed effortlessly. His kind and professional manner was well received. He was able to turn an important, yet stressful requirement into an enjoyable experience. Thanks again Zaya ! read more

Still 5 stars. All 4 of our kids went through Liberty Driving School, all passed their behind the wheel on the first try. Thank you!!

Well priced, exceeded expectations. Make sure you get Luke, great advice, good energy, my daughter really appreciated him as an instructor

The lady on the phone was rude and unprofessional. I called 2 days ago and never got a call back. When I asked her about not returning phone calls, she became hostile. I was quoted a full package where you get the driving instruction for the written and the behind the wheel. My son completed his written and they wanted to charge me full price for behind the wheel. When I told her I was already a client, and I wanted the full package price ,she got an attitude. They are unprofessionals and rude. I am so grateful we found another company that was kind and professional. I would not recommend this company! read more

Sara the receptionist charged me for all 3 sessions without me approving the charge. She is rude as hell. My daughter did not want to use this company after the way she heard Sara speaking to me over the phone. Sara is the most unprofessional receptionist I have ever dealt with. I had to get the owner involved fo the refund. By the way she charged 3 appointments and we only scheduled one. Skip this place. Owner was responsible but he has to know his receptionist sucks. Maybe she is his wife idk. It is family owned so he probably can't get rid of her. She also sent me another persons certificate that I had to call and ask for. Now I have to deal with her again. read more

My son passed on the first try thanks to this driving school. I recommend it to all my peers.

I have no words for this amazing family business!!!! I wish I could give them a ten star!!!! Very professional and patient in teaching teens driving. my son passed his driving test the first time Ali and his family are truly amazing. Thank you and I'll definitely be sending my other kids here to learn to drive. read more

Had my son drive with liberty, and the man who is the CEO took my son for driving.. my son said he was a nice man. He was always right on time to pick up my son and everything went well! I would recommend! read more

I gave 2 stars because in the end, they did what they were supposed to and we aren't continuing with them (already knew we wouldn't, just needed my teen to have a lesson to get started before we can get in with the other company we're using). However, I wish I would have look at the reviews first; I'm not sure I would have picked this school. The instructor was VERY quiet, so my son had a hard time hearing his instruction while on his FIRST ever lesson; the instructor took phone calls to book a doc appt while giving the lesson; my son felt mis-guided a few times during the lesson when he asked a question about what/how to do something; the instructor physically removed my son's hand from the wheel to show him how to turn properly which seems unsafe; for a FIRST lesson on the streets, I didn't expect them to go on the freeway! That seems like a second or later lesson as it can be stressful. I also have to agree with the reviews involving the office gal; she doesn't seem helpful when being asked questions, like she is annoyed and just wants to end the call. All in all, like I said, they did the job that was paid for, but I'm happy in the end that we will be continuing with another company. read more

Ali, he called my son one day before the appointment during the school hour and asked him to change the appointment time from 4:30 pm to 2 pm. My son is still in high school and school finishes at 3:45 pm. How can he ask my son to be absent from school to accommodate someone else's schedule? My son didn't agree to change the schedule but Ali just changed by himself from 4:30 to 2PM. When my son called back to the mainline of Liberty driving school, the laby said the 4:30 pm time slot had been taken by someone else and we can only reschedule for 2 weeks later. This is not acceptable, I called many times to leave the voice message, and there is no response so far. read more

Liberty Driving & Traffic School - Driving Schools Near Me - El Cajon, California

I had my lesson with Ghazi and the entire lesson he had his hand on my thigh or on my hand the entire time I was driving. It made me feel incredibly uncomfortable and unsafe. I will not be returning here nor will I be recommending this place to others. read more

Prepared our daughter really well for her test which she passed with ZERO mistakes! Ghazi was a great instructor, very serious, experienced instructors. Recommended. read more

Unfortunately, this driving school offer very expensive behind ther wheel driving lessons ($320/2hr) while competition charges between $80 to $140/2hr driving lessons. Furthermore, the driving instructor failed to instruct the student (my daughter) properly. On top of this the instructor had the student stop at the gas station to fill up the empty gas tank. Also, the person handling the phone answering service needs to learn to be much more polite. Overall, this driving school is quite expensive, driving instructor is not teaching well and the secretary answering the phone is rude. Your money is better spent elsewhere read more

I passed my driving test today all thanks to Ali! He was so kind, helpful and patient with me as well as an amazing driving instructor. I highly recommend anyone and everyone to take driving lessons with Liberty Driving and Traffic School!! Don't I repeat do not take driving lessons with The Safety School Of Driving. Go with Liberty Driving they should have been my first choice. Thank you so much to Ali and Liberty Driving School for helping me get my license. -Maya read more

My daughter's driving instructor was Frmesk. She arrived 10 minutes prior to the scheduled time to ensure paperwork, questions, were taken care of prior to the driving lesson starting. As a parent, I found Fremesk to be very friendly, helpful, and professional. My daughter enjoyed all of her lessons. She appreciated Frmesk's calm nature and soft-spoken demeanor. My daughter received positive and corrective feedback to ensure she passes her driving test. Our overall experience was great! I would recommend Liberty Driving & Traffic School. Additional Feedback... Received a callback in a timely manner Paid upfront with no issues All lessons were successful and pleasant Knowledge and professional instructor The car was in working condition Overall a success... Thank you, Liberty!!! read more

Family business and very professional. Both my girls really learned a lot. I highly recommend them.

Friendly staff and very reliable. Thanks to them my daughter passed her drivers test on the first try. Recommend this business to friends and family! read more

My sons driving appt was today at 10:30 and no one has come by to pick him up. I've tried multiple times calling (619) 749-4845 with the calls going directly to voicemail. I should've known better since my original call was answered by the most rude and unprofessional receptionist (Sarah). I tried asking her questions about the programs they were providing and she made me feel stupid for asking. In the end, I was able to make an appt. and now a no show. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. Wish I had gone with another company because now we have to wait even longer for a new appt. elsewhere. read more

Liberty Driving School was the first place I called to schedule instruction for my teenager. Unfortunately, I canceled my appointment with Liberty solely due to the condescending and impatient attitude of the receptionist Sarah. I have worked in the service industry for 30 years and a customer's first impression of a business is often over the phone. If I spoke to a guest at my job the way she spoke to me I would get a write up. Sarah treated me like an idiot when I wanted to clarify what exactly my student needed in order to get her license. She didn't offer an apology when I told her she was being rude. I contacted their competitor and the difference was night and day-every detail explained in a patient and professional manner. If you are in the East County area I would suggest contacting the other driving school as well before you make your decision. read more

Ali is such an amazing instructor who makes sure his student passes the driving test. He is simply the best driving instructor down here in San Diego area. I highly recommend Ali if anyone is looking to take driving test. read more

Had a scheduled appointment today, no show and I was not able to reach anyone. Will not recommend this business.

My son completed his online education and we waited almost a month for the certificate which never came. The website states it will be directly mailed to you upon completion of online education however it wasn't. So when I called I was informed that "we wait for you to call us so we can make sure we have the right address." I live close by and informed the lady I spoke to that I would pick it up and that I'd be there within the hour. She said she goes to lunch at 12:00. I said I'd be there well before. Got there at 11:40 the building is unoccupied/ vacant and no one is answering the phone. I was going to use them for my sons behind the wheel hours but will definitely find somewhere else, especially if it this difficult to just get his certificate. read more

I took a lesson with Ghazi during the lesson he put his hand on my hand on the steering wheel, which is unacceptable for me, I took driving classes before with other instructors. But this the first time I have seen this. I tried to book another lesson with the owner of liberty school Ali. I booked it last Thursday nd he didn't show up. read more

Great driving school specially dealing with Mr Ali he is calm , patience , honest and smart , he told me you will pass with perfect score from the first time and that what happened , I was so happy and satisfied with dealing with him I recommend to call him directly if you want to learn and pass the test from first time because usually they are busy as they have alot of students . His cell phone number is +16192191088 read more

I passed my drivers test on the first try thanks to Liberty Driving School! I'm a new driver and Ali and Jerry were very patient and made sure I understood everything and was comfortable and safe behind the wheel. They thoroughly prepare you for the test and keep your best interest in mind always. Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Best driving school! I was taught to drive by Mr. Ali years ago and I am grateful to him for teaching me to drive safely. I just completed their online traffic school from the comfort of my home a few hours ago. My certificate is already sent to DMV electronically - excellent service! I highly recommend this school to students of all ages. Thank you Mr. Ali for your professionalism and for serving our community. read more

They are wonderful! Our daughter did their online driving school and behind the wheel classes. She did behind the wheel with Mr. Ghazi and Mr.Ali Barwari they are great teachers, always on time, and let us know what the plan was for each time. Their classes are very affordable. We plan on having our other kids come to their driving school. read more

If you looking for a good driving school at a great value with a great teacher look no further. Two of my son's and my nephew went to Liberty. I recommend getting both the drivers education and behind the wheel package, it's worth it. Ali is a great instructor. He gave my son some tips and was always on time and professional. He even helped my son schedule his behind the wheel test at the DMV. All three boys passed on their first attempt! Thank you Liberty driving school! read more

Do not pay them in advance, they call and say car troubles. Two times in 1 day. We dedicated our day to wait for them to show up for our 18 year old only for them to cancel 2 minutes after they were due to show up. Thank god I didn't pay them in advance. I'll look elsewhere. Not a reputable company. Look to other companies. read more

Your companY will lose a lot of prospective customers like myself with the woman you have answering your phones. Extremely rude . Please choose someone with professional cuStomer service skills. read more

Thank you, thank you, thank you Liberty Driving School!! Ali was a terrific teacher, I was so nervous and he really helped to calm my nerves and teach me how to drive. I passed my driving test on the first try even though I am almost 40 years old and I never really drove before. You are in good hands with Liberty! read more

I had a great recommendation from a good friend and her 2 kids that went through this company. I was recommended a specific lady that they had a great experience with, which she wasn't available for a full month and a half. But we decided to wait the month and a half for. On Friday when I tried confirming my lesson for Sunday, Sarah the person in charge in the office was short with me when I was asking questions. She seemed irritated and in a rush to get off the phone with me instead of answering my few questions. So I didn't really get any details about what the process would be. It was an awe full experience. Then the person that showed up to pick up my son was an older gentle and when I asked what was going on he had no idea what I was talking about. I felt very uneasy about the whole situation. So I talk to the guy to get a small sense of who he was. I PAID in full with a check and sent my son off for 2 hours. When my son got back the guy just dropped him off didn't talk to my husband or me AND did NOT the sign drivers permit. WHAT?? I got his card but his number was not on it, only the schools number, which they are closed until tomorrow. This whole experience was totally different than my friends. But wow it was horrible! I want to get his lessons done and never think about this company ever again. read more

Huge thank you to Ali for helping me gain the confidence to take and pass my driving test. Without his help, I would not have passed! I had been pushing off getting lessons because I was worried I wouldn't feel comfortable learning how to drive with a "stranger" but I I took the chance because I saw amazing reviews about Ali. If you are nervous to drive, have no experience at all or even if you do have some experience , Ali is great to go to for that extra instruction and help . He genuinely cares about teaching you to be a safe driver. He is very patient. He will make you feel so confident in your driving skills 100/10 !!!! Go to liberty driving school !!!!!! I went into my behind the wheel driving test with no anxiety and passed!!! read more

If you want a cheap way for your child to be signed off on their driving classes, this is fine. But if you want a driving school that teaches your child how to drive, this is not the place. There are basic things that just weren't taught to my daughter, like parallel parking, or really any parking in general. They did drive on the freeway a lot, which I was happy about. Also, each session was supposed to be 2 hours long. The first two sessions she was picked up and dropped off at school, so I do t know if they were late picking her up, but I do know that they were finished at least 15 minutes early. The last session, they picked her up 20 minutes late and finished a half hour early, so she missed almost an hour of instruction that day. read more

In 6 hours I learned to drive. Thanks to Liberty Driving School. Trust me it was worth it. Very friendly and patient. Thank you Ali. read more

The driving instructor are very nice always on time I would have given 5 stars except for the last 2 lessons I asked specifically to do Freeway Rush hour driving and scheduled my Sons appointment at a certain time for this reason and Neither lesson did he get in any Traffic driving time . read more

We pre-paid for the online drivers training and the behind the wheel lessons up front. The online part was easy to use and he passed his permit test easily. Then he had his behind the wheel. He liked his instructor. They were friendly and flexible with times. They handled any paperwork they were supposed to to get his license without a hitch. I would recommend them for your teen driver. read more
