    I took lessons with Paul 5 years ago. I was 30 years old. I had never driven and I was as scared as…read moreany new driver could be. Paul helped me from day 1 where we didn't even use the gas pedal, just coasting, to my driver's license exam. I did pass on my first try! He gave tips and tricks that would help for the exam as well as driving in real life. He was firm/assertive when needed but I also felt safe and comfortable as a terrified driver. He made me step outside of my comfort zone. He loaned me his sunglasses when I couldn't see. Because of Paul's help, I am able to work jobs that involve driving. I can now drive giant diesel trucks and haul trailers for work. Yesterday I drove 420 miles in one day. While I will never be a carefree driver, I attribute my driving success to Paul and First Pass Driving. I am eternally grateful for his help.

    Changing my rating to one star just because of how the owner responded. It seems he would rather…read moregrasp for straws rather than just take criticism constructively. Also the fact that he refused to address any of the points I brought up, but instead decided to shift blame onto me in a somewhat generic manner. He gave typical responses for why someone wouldn't do well, but can't bring up specific examples. He didn't even pick pronouns when addressing me. It seriously makes me question if he even knows who he's talking to. Also how many students have had similar experiences. Is the problem truly them? Or is he just making up excuses to cover his rear?

    I once wrote a review for Matt on google and I'm going to do it again because he's come this far to…read morehelp me pass my test on the 11th of December. I'm all the way in Brooklyn park and he's lives in Wisconsin so he takes the time to come out to me even when it's far. He's has the best behind the wheel advice than any other driving school and the best cars lol. Really nice cars to where I've become jealous lol. We tested at Arden Hills and I was quite nervous that I'd fail because I've been told by many people that Arden Hills was the hardest location to test at and there was bad instructors. I guess I was lucky to have a sweet examiner and good instructor because they all know him(the owner). I assume it's all about how you drive in order for you to consider Arden Hills "hard." The first time I failed and that was because I was EXTREMELY nervous and I was told I only had two mistakes (Wrong lane when turning and not stopping longer at a stop sign). I've done some research on who has the cheapest BTW in Minneapolis and so far it's been Silverlake. A+ charges $425 for their package while Silverlake is $275 however I did have an extra $200 added to my account since we added an extra hour and another road test. I honestly haven't been with any other drivers that Matt has but if you get Matt, it's your lucky day. I also haven't been to his classroom since I was over 19 but I'm pretty sure his classroom is just as great as his driving lessons

    My uncle needed his driver license urgently and Matt, the owner was able to accommodate his needs…read more Uncle had lesson with Matt, Damiian, and Darrin, one time with each and passed his test. Uncle stated that they all are very professional and provided great lessons. Thank you so much the team who really helped my uncle to achieve his license!
