My daughter passed her drivers license test on her first try, thanks to Sherry!…read more We initially tried another driving school in Irvine, who uses contracted driving instructors and had issues with scheduling and last-minute cancellations. Frustrated, we began asking around and we were referred to Sherry by one of my daughter's friends who also had a great experience with OC Driving Academy. Seeing that Sherry is the owner, I felt confident in having her as my daughter's driving instructor. She is communicative, punctual, and was very patient with my daughter as she was learning how to drive. Not only did Sherry help with my daughter's driving skills, but she also helped me (as a parent) be as prepared as possible for her driving test. Sherry made sure we knew to bring our registration, proof of insurance, etc. to the DMV. She was super knowledgeable and resourceful about what we could expect for my daughter's driving test, and thanks to her, my daughter passed her exam on the first try. I would recommend Sherry to anyone parent who is looking for a well-qualified driving instructor for their teen.

AP Driving School was very responsive at getting back to me and answering my questions. Their prices were overall very reasonable.

The instructors were very patient with her as she learned the car and rules of the road. It's very important to find a trustworthy driving academy. From purchasing the sessions, to scheduling the sessions, and to scheduling the CA DMV test, it was such an easy process. Our daughter really felt at ease and comfortable with instructors Catherine Steveley and Dan Younger. They really understand how to instruct/connect with a new youth driver. Thank you! Today, our daughter took her CA DMV driver's test and SHE PASSED THE TEST!!! Thank you to everyone at VDA!!! We will go through VDA when our son is eligible.

When my son first got his permit I looked on Yelp to find a great behind the wheel program for him…read more I called Varsity and they were amazingly helpful on the phone. When Bob came to our house for my son's first lesson he was kind and knowledgeable, letting us know what to expect. My son had a great experience and at the end Bob spoke with us and gave us things to work on with him. All three lessons were amazing, he even gave us tips and tricks for the test and suggested which DMV to go to. Our son passed with flying colors and has a great driving record (he has been driving for 3 years). I am writing this a few years later because we moved away from Irvine and had to find another company for our daughter. Her experience was not as good and we did not feel that she was ready to be driving on her own even after that company signed off on it. I immediately called Varsity and they found her a time to work with Bob and we drove down to Irvine for it. In just two hours he taught her so much, he went through everything and corrected her previous instruction. She is a much more confident and safer driver because of him. She passed her test two days after the lesson. Thank you Varsity and Bob!

I can't imagine a better driver training program for teenagers than Teen Road to Safety. Over the…read morepast few years, I'd spot TRTS vehicles out in the wild, and always thought it was cool that they were utilizing Mustangs, Model 3s, and Bronco Sport vehicles rather than more pedestrian entry-level sedans. As the father to a car-crazy teenager, when it came time for my son to begin his behind-the-wheel training, TRTS was the only solution we considered. Each two-hour lesson with Steven Unland and Jim Sewell was thorough and my son enjoyed conversing with Steven and Jim as he drove. At the end of each lesson, I was given a session review sheet containing the things they covered during the driving lesson and feedback for any areas that my son needed to work on before the next lesson. Thanks to the training that TRTS provided, my son confidently and effortlessly passed his CA DMV behind-the-wheel driving test with only a one point deduction.

Like the other 1 star reviews, PLEASE READ THEM!!…read more We had a very disappointing experience with The Way driving school. Our instructor, Jordan, did not provide much actual detail instructions and instead had my teen drive him to a food location so he could get a drink in one of our PAID lessons. A friend of ours reported a similar experience where their lesson included a fast food stop. For a paid driving lesson, this felt unprofessional and a poor use of time. Communication and scheduling were also very frustrating. Responses were slow and most times booking lessons were unorganized. Example: The Instructor will either show up 1 hour early or even late and not finishing our actual hours. Another main concern was safety. Only one of the vehicles we saw had instructor-side brakes and pedals. The other cars (including their Tesla and other vehicles) did not appear to have these added safety features. We specifically requested a car with instructor controls for our teen, but that request was not honored. Overall, the experience did not meet expectations, especially considering the importance of proper instruction and SAFETY for new drivers. ***In response to the owner's comment below: I am not seeking a refund or any form of compensation, nor did I mention that in my original review. My intention is simply to share my experience and perspective to help inform others who may be considering this driving school. This is, after all, a platform for HONEST FEEDBACK. My review reflects what we experienced and is not a false accusation. If you take the time to read other negative reviews, you will notice similar concerns raised by other clients. ***

SOC Driving School instructed both of my kids (one by Travis who is no longer with them, and the…read moreother by Adam) and they both passed on their first driving test. They are VERY fairly priced, always punctual, easy to communicate, super friendly, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a driving school. While certain other school(s) may flaunt fancy cars and former law enforcement instructors, SOC is highly competent in their own right. Beyond driving school, I'd recommend looking into B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Driver's Training (putonthebrakes.org) to put them through some great evasive and defensive practices.
