Everyone I interacted with, from the…read moreamazing ladies in the office to Eric, who set everything up so quickly given my situation, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. My driving instructor, Frank Dao, is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. After going through multiple instructors at another driving school who never took the time to explain my weaknesses or how to improve, working with Frank was a game changer. He clearly explains mistakes, makes sure you understand how to correct them, and gives detailed, practical tips for everything, from mastering turns to parallel parking. Thanks to Gold Success and Frank's incredible instruction, I passed my road test, and I am truly grateful. I couldn't recommend them more!

Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and ended up…read morebeing a waste of both time and money. I did receive a refund for my unused portions of the package I paid for. I enrolled as a complete beginner and made that very clear from the start. Instead of receiving patient instruction, I experienced an instructor (Michael) who became frustrated with beginner mistakes and raised his voice during lessons. It was also extremely fast paced for a 20 lesson full package deal. On my third day I was being taught a 3 point turn and parallel parking when I was not comfortable turning onto roads and being centered on roads. There were also communication and scheduling issues. On one occasion, I arrived for what I believed was my scheduled lesson, only to find out the time had been changed without any phone call, email, or text notification. Despite the instructor being available, I spent approximately 40 minutes sitting in the vehicle while he stopped at McDonald's and handled personal matters rather than conducting the lesson. During multiple lessons, the instructor took lengthy personal phone calls while I was in the car, including highly personal conversations that contained inappropriate language. As a student learning to drive for the first time, I expected my instructor's full attention and professionalism, not distractions and personal matters. What ultimately made me decide to leave was being told after only three lessons that my remaining lessons and road test had been canceled because I was allegedly "too nervous." I had attended every lesson, was eager to learn, and had only just begun driving. Although I was offered another instructor, by that point I had lost confidence in the school's professionalism and chose to seek instruction elsewhere. Additionally, while waiting for one of my lessons, I overheard another student discussing a negative experience he had with an instructor named Frank. Under normal circumstances I would not place much weight on another student's experience alone. However, after everything I had personally experienced, hearing another student express similar frustrations further reduced my confidence in the school as a whole. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this driving school.

They're unprofessional and extremely hard to work with. Joyce is the sole person scheduling things, and she is horrible at her job. They do not give you your 5-hour cert. They hold on to it, so you can only schedule your road test through them, and you cannot schedule it yourself. They add on months of wait time, as opposed to 1-2 months if you scheduled it yourself. I paid around 1k for 10 lessons, which turned out to actually be five 90-minute lessons. Very misleading!! I have had 2 instructors from them. The first one, Jason, was unreachable after 2 lessons, for some reason. He was okay at his job, not super motivating, but did what he needed to do. Joyce offered to switch instructors for the rest of my lessons, and oh my god. My second instructor, Johnm, was so unprofessional and mean. He NEVER gave me positive feedback, only mumbling about how horrible I was at each and every turn. He was smoking cigarettes before and after every lesson, which isn't necessarily a problem, but very unprofessional to do in front of the client and made the car smell. One time, he cut one of my lessons early cause he wanted a car wash. We got out of the car, and he lit up a cigarette as I just awkwardly watched the car go through. I could not believe this was the lesson I paid for. I did not even end up finishing my course with them, because every lesson felt like a humiliation ritual. I couldn't even get a hold of my 5 hr cert, so I started over at another driving school and passed my test on my first try with a perfect score.

I knew I wasn't prepared and failed. I looked for a better driving school and found No.1 where comments were flooded with great recommendations for instructors here. I chose Kenny and I would recommend him to anyone else too! He is extremely hard working, sets you up against his own standards only to benefit you and make sure you pass the road test standards. He gives great pointers that'll ensure your get yourself parallel parking right every time, make your turns super smooth and will always be nice and honest with his comments. Make sure you take into account his feedback and really memorize them and put them into place! It's nothing but beneficial! Prices at the school are really fair though scheduling would be the difficult part as Joyce, isn't always there to pick up the phone for non Chinese speakers. Keep calling and they'll eventually get it sorted out for you!

She gave me correct parking instructions compared to other instructors. We did a lot of practice and she took me to roads that were hard and tough to drive. She was also flexible and allowed me to take night classes that worked around my work schedule. The bad thing was almost every class was late at night when the sky was pitch black although it did challenge me enough to drive through the streets in the dark. So that was good preparation for the exam. Luckily I passed the exam with her.

The reception is okay to talk to. but they really don't advise you properly as to the best course…read moreof action as a beginner driver. My first time learning to drive I went to them because I had no one else to help. I thought as a beginner it would be good to take around 7 lessons to see how it goes, and space them out once a week before the driver's exam, which I learned would be about 2 months away. This was a bad idea to take lessons so spaced out. But I did not know better and nor was I told. but the main problem was the fact that the instructor was terrible(Vincente/Vincent). friendly for the most part, but very inept at teaching. my first day there he just had me sit in the car and told me to drive. I was confused and scared. And he looked at me and said verbatim, "you never driven before"? Yea I've literally never driven before , that's why I'm here. But I digress. 6 out of 7 of the lessons were just driving around. he didn't teach parking or 3 point turns for 6 lessons, so I was forced to buy 2 more a week before the exam. On the 6th lessons I mentioned it to him and he told me next week he will teach it to me... He would also be o his phone a lot while he taught. While he did teach me okay techniques for parking and 3 point turn afterwards. there was a lot I've come to realize with a new school I signed up with that he didn't teach me. And because he didn't instruct me on what I would consider fundamentals now, I failed my first exam. As I recall he would tell me I'm turning to wide and I need to handle the wheel better, but he would never instruct me how to do these things. How to prevent making wide turns and how to handle the wheel better. And as a beginner you just trust the teachers judgement while doing your best. on the exam day I had one more lesson, and the instructor had another girl ride in the back seat while I was taking my last lesson. Which in itself was nerve racking as he admonished me during hurried parking exercises which were very impractical and sporadic. He would have me pull in and out of parking spaces along the same street with little warning. Afterwards we drove to the testing site, and I was a nervous wreck. long story short, I failed that day. There were two more girls there with me who took the exam who had vincent as a instructor, one passed, but it was her second time taking it too. so she failed before, and the other girl failed as well . And I learned in my earlier lessons that there was another girl who failed 3 times with the same instructor. So I might be wrong but I think the problem is the instructor. After I failed vincent looked at me with a smirk and asked what happened as though it was a joke. and while looking away just whimsically mentioned we will begin practicing again. Which would not be the case. I switched to a different school about a month after this disaster. the teachers were so much better and mind you I just wanted a fresh reset on being taught everything I already learned. they taught me to prevent making wide turns aim to turn into the center of the lane that you want to end up in. they taught me two methods of parking and 3 point turns on the first and second day. They taught me about paying attention to what kind of lanes I'm turning into to make sure I'm driving center in the correct lane. They taught me to pay attention to signs lights, pedestrians, and to not be mentally and physically rushed by other more impatient drivers, but instead to pay attention to the instructions being given while being aware of those who might cause accidents. I'm taking the exam soon, and hope I pass, but at this point it's up to me. I feel more prepared than I did with the other school. I'm not advertising for the school I'm at now, that's why I'm not stating their name unless someone wants to as me specifically. I'm just giving my outlook and experience as a first time driver. but i highly do not recommend this school. take care
