Mario was my instructor in 2016. He taught me well and pushed me in all the right ways as I was learning to navigate the road. Thank you! Accident free. read more

I drove for the first time ever with mario I only had one lesson with him There was no student driver sticker on the car which was a little concerning I think his accent was a little hard to understand at sometimes while giving directions, which was a bit of a concern because obviously you have to be able to communicate well with your instructor while you're on the road. I think he must've been a good instructor before, but he's just too old now read more

My son started off with Mario for the first two sessions. When I called to make his final session appointment, we learned that Mario moved states and another instructor named Ramiro took over his clients. I was in shock at first but after communicating with Ramiro, he made the transition very easy. He gets back to you promptly and arrived at our house on time. My son also thought Ramiro was a great instructor. I recommend Ramiro! read more

Mario Bank is a really easy-going drive instructor I would highly recommend him. My son enjoyed driving with him for the first time. If you're in the Santa Clarita Valley, give him a call. read more

Mario Bank Driving Instructor - This is Mario himself. - Driving Schools Near Me - Canyon Country, California

Both of my sons took his driving lessons, and he also took them for their test, they both passed on first try. He is a great driving instructor, according to both of my sons (and they are teenagers, so that says a lot). Highly recommend him! read more

We hired Mario and my son just passed his Driving test. Mario knows his stuff and makes the sessions helpful. Very competitive. Well Recommended. read more

I was looking for behind the wheel instruction for my son. Mario was prompt in all lessons and my passed in his first attempt

Mario is such a great guy and instructor. I've used his services for all of my kids' driving lessons. Pretty hard to beat his price too.

Very reliable , trustworthy / on time taking good care of my niece and grandniece ( who came from other country) to get a driver license as well as good drivers . I highly recommend this teacher . read more

Mario is great. He has taught both my kids to drive and is much cheaper than the others out there. Highly recommend.

I aced the test the first time after only training for 2 weeks because of Mario. Mario is very calm and makes driving so easy, I was so scared of driving the first time and in 2 week I felt like I have been driving for years. If you don't want to fear driving and get you licence in a few weeks then you should give him a call. read more

Mario Bank Driving Instructor - Aced the test with only 6 mistakes because of mario - Driving Schools Near Me - Canyon Country, California

He was 2 hours late for our first lesson. Shows up in a beat up Toyota - like seriously old, dirty and dented car. The car doesn't have any signs that say "student driver" nothing. The picture that's included in Yelp shows a young man, but he appears to be more like 70. There was no chance we were going to let our daughter in a car with this guy. There's a good reason why he only charges $90 a lesson. read more

Mario is an excellent and a patient instructor. I had a fear of driving from young age and didn't take driving lessons until my current age (low 30s). He built up my confidence slowly and I just passed my driving test! Also he probably has the best prices in the Los Angeles area! (with pickup and drop off at your location) read more

Very happy with Mario. My son had never driven before his first lesson with Mario and after 3 lessons he passed on his first time with only 3 Mistakes!!! He teaches them the route that they take on their drives test. My son was so well prepared. And his price is fantastic!! Way less then everyone else out there. Highly recommend him!!!! read more

Mario trained each of my three daughters how to drive. He helped them learn the Newhall driving course and prepared them well for their tests. The girls received scores of 98, 99 and 99-each passing on their first attempt. He is a fabulous instructor and will teach you how to get your license. It also helped that his rates were HALF of what the large companies charged. He charges $270 for six hours of training. Definitely worth the money. Always on time, too! read more

I am a new 16 year old beginner driver. He was an amazing instructor for my lesson and made conversation the entire way so I was not uncomfortable or nervous. He also took me on route for what would be on the drivers test. Overall, he's an amazing instructor who allows you to go at your own pace and gives you time in advance before transitioning to lanes or turning. Highly recommend him, especially with how good his prices are. I recommended him to all my friends after my friend recommended him to me. read more

Great instructor. Teaches what is necessary, effective and efficient. Does not waste your money and delivers results.

Started my teen with Drivers Ed Direct. They were difficult to schedule with so I opted to have my son complete his behind the wheel with Mario. I should have used Mario sooner. Scheduling was easy. He was also less expensive. I really liked the guy. He was really knowledgeable and actually gave my son useful training. When training was complete, he asked that we let him know if my son passed. My son took the behind the wheel and passed on his first try with only minor mistakes. read more

Mario provided excellent training for my teen driving student and gave him much more confidence behind-the-wheel than I could ever have provided. He well prepares the students for the DMV test and when my teen took the test at the DMV, he passed the first time! Also, Mario was very accommodating and flexible with our schedule. I would highly recommend this instructor. read more

Mario was an excellent instructor. He taught my son all that was needed for his test and was very accommodating with our schedule. Quick to get back on questions or scheduling. He prepared my son for the Newhall DMV but we ended up taking the test in Landcaster. But he still passed! So no matter where you take the test, I think Mario prepares you well. He even took my son on the fwy his 1st day out with him. My son liked him a lot and said he was cool & funny. Now that's big coming from my son. read more

Fantastic. Our daughter was very comfortable with him and most importantly...she passed her test on the first try! Thanks Mario!

Mario is very thorough and a good instructor, for my son, l would recommend him to all moms and dads out there. He give confidence to the young driver. read more

Mario is a great instructor for new drivers. He has many years of experience as an instructor and is really professional. He was never late on the appointments we had as he picked me from my house for driving lessons. He told me everything that was required for driving. He was very patient and explained rules and techniques carefully. I never drove a car, so I was very nervous in the beginning but Mario's calm and friendly nature made me really comfortable. I did a lot of mistakes in the beginning but he never yelled at me, but helped me work on my weak points. This way, I gained a lot of confidence and finally got my driving license. I liked that he gave a lot of feedback, pointing out things that I did well or that I could improve on. He provided me with practical tips and answered my questions thoroughly. Mario is a wonderful instructor and I will highly recommend him to all my friends. read more

He help my son learn to drive, my son went on the frwy did back up parking, my son was a first time driver he had him behind the wheel right away. Mario made him feel comfortable and myself. He is a really good teacher. Highly recommended if you need a driver instructor use him. And he's really reasonable $$. Also he made mas a mom feel conftorble :) . I was very nervous. read more

Mario is prompt, patient and very reasonable. My daughter passed her test easily on the first attempt. Thank you Mario!

This comes from someone who started out with fear of the Road. I have always been a bundle of nerves even when it came to being driven by someone else........yeah, I know it sounds silly. This, however, is now history. Can't believe that I now find driving a pleasure and truly owe this and my independence to Mario. Mario was referred to me by a couple of friends who too had taken lessons from him. He makes you feel completely at ease from the moment you take to the wheel. Even during the course of the lessons, he is always calm and will not make you feel stupid if you've made a mistake. Extremely punctual, professional and reasonable(in his fees) too. Couldn't ask for more from a driving instructor!!!!! read more

Mario thought my daughter how to drive and the basics one her first driving class..she passed has her written and driving test thank you

Very reasonably priced. Nice guy, very cool, calm, down to earth. Of course very patient more patience then I have but once Mario taught my son then I was more confident to drive with him. read more

This man is the Phil Jackson of driving teachers. Calm, collected, and he knows what he's doing. He teaches for the test and teaches how to drive which, let me tell you, are two different things. In three lessons i went from having never driven on the road, not knowing about blind spots, and barley being able to use turn signals to passing the driving test no problem. Hire this man. read more

Mario is an excellent driving instructor!! I passed my driving test with a perfect score (zero mistakes) at the Newhall DMV after just 5 hours of driving lessons with him. He really built up my confidence. I hadn't driven in over 15 years and had very little experience to begin with, and he built my confidence up so much after just the first lesson (I am 33 years old). We also went on the freeway during my first lesson, which was really great to help conquer my fears (I have always been very afraid of freeway driving). I highly recommend Mario to people of all age groups who need practice with driving and help passing the DMV driving test. Trust me you will not be disappointed! His prices are the BEST I have found on the market, and he is very honest, reliable and always on time for lessons. He is also extremely nice and very patient with us new drivers, which is very appreciated, and always made me feel very comfortable (and not nervous) while driving. Bottom line, Mario is amazing and the best driving instructor I have ever had!! read more

He's great! Nothing to complain about him. Always came right on time and knows exactly how to teach first time drivers.

My daughter thought Mario was a great instructor. He provided many great tips for her to pass the test. He charges a very reasonable rate. Less expensive then most instructors in the Santa Clarita valley. Thanks Mario! read more

What an excellent find! My buddies here on Yelp don't let me down! Had Mario teach my daughter the ropes to get her license a few weeks ago, and waited to see if she nailed it on the first time before posting my review here, and sure enough, she did! Mario is very patient and has a great sense of humor and she enjoyed his instruction very much! Gave her exactly the tips she would have to know to pass! Very reasonably priced, too, I might add!! Comes to your house for pick up and drop off conveniently. If you find yourself or someone you know who needs to get this done, I very, very highly recommend that you call him! Just a slam-dunk! One of those rarities where there's NO hesitation for me to say with this guy, you CANT go wrong, and you will be real happy about it no question at all!! If I could rate him 10 stars, I would! Did I mention I highly recommend him? (Oh yea, that's right I did!) Wouldn't even bother with anyone else! read more
