I understand that traffic sometimes happens, but every time? 2. Related to the 1st above, I can get over the tardiness. But then they would be back from the lessons anywhere from 15min to 10min early all 3 times. If you are going to be late, at least give the full 2hrs. 3. He took her to pump gas twice. I don't know of a driving school that teaches how to pump gas, let alone twice. I'm sure it wasn't a lesson, but rather just not being prepared with a full tank of gas before the lesson 4. Was asked for payment up front on the last lesson because he needed gas and didn't have money... 5. We found out that he had asked the student to be in the second from left lane at a light that was a straight only, not a left-turn lane. He then told her to move over and turn left when it was green, having to cut into the lane with other cars. I don't know about you, but I hate it when people make the wrong turn and then push their way in because of their mistake. Just go straight and turn around somewhere 6. It was weird to see the "instruction vehicle" had darker than the CA legal 70% tint on the front side windows. Not a good example if the driving school's vehicle has equipment violations...

I highly recommend Accredited Driving School, with Chuck Hard as the instructor. Chuck has been a…read moredriver education instructor for many years. Both of my daughters had him as their instructor, and both passed their drivers test the first time. Yes, he does take the time to talk to them and explain to them, not driving 100% of the time. But that is absolutely necessary. He quizzes them on questions they may be asked, is sure that they know where essential parts of their car are located, and provides Youtube videos that they can watch on their own time. With our first daughter, we went along for one of the lessons, and learned a lot ourselves. My younger daughter, who is very judgemental, says that she really learned a lot from Chuck, and has no problem commenting on and criticizing driving habits that I have picked up over time when I am driving. Usually prefaced by "Chuck said that you should...." He has his own hybrid car but did the lessons with my 19 year old daughter in the car that she was going to be driving for her drivers test and thereafter (which was our choice). If possible, he will take your child on an anticipated route that they will have for their drivers test to give them an idea of what they might expect. Please consider Accredited Driving School for your child's driver education.

Chuck did a great job and my son really liked him. My son felt he was really learning a lot and passed his driving test the first time! Chuck even drove down for my son's test, took him to the test, and let him use his car for the test. I definitely recommend Chuck and we will be calling him in couple years when my daughter starts to drive.

Charles "Chuck" Hard is an amazing driving instructor. He instructed my daughter for two hours to…read morehelp prepare her for her behind the wheel driving test. His attention to detail and extensive knowledge of the DMV and driving tests was invaluable! My daughter easily passed her test, felt more confident as a driver, and learned so much in just two hours! If you are looking for a driving instructor look no farther, call Chuck at Accredited Driving School right away!! Best money I've spent in a long time, only wish we would've called Chuck first before we spent money at another driving school!

We had such a great experience with Hot Rodz for my daughter's driver training! She felt…read morecomfortable and confident with her instructor, Mrs. Christine, from the very beginning, and was extremely well prepared for her driving test. Christine took her on the same streets where the test would be conducted and walked her through exactly what to expect on test day. That preparation made a huge difference in helping my daughter feel confident going into the exam. Thanks to Hot Rodz and Christine, she passed her driving test on her first try at the San Marcos DMV! Thank you, Christine and Hot Rodz, for helping make such an important milestone a positive experience! Highly recommend!

Drive Smart Academy was the best decision we made for our new driver. Scheduling was fast and…read moresimple. Most schools were booked weeks out. Drive Smart found us a spot right away and worked around our calendar. That alone lowered our stress. The instructor was nice, calm, clear, and very focused on real test conditions. My son knew what to expect on test day and habits that make him a safer driver every day. Result. He passed on the first try. More important, he now drives with confidence and awareness. He checks mirrors, controls speed, and understands right of way. You can see the training in how he handles the road. If you want a school that prepares students to pass and to drive well, choose Drive Smart Academy!

I called Accredited Driving School and asked for an instructor to help my son on the weekend prior to his test. This was a last minute call and Charles was able to fit us into our schedule. He arrived on time, took time to talk to my husband, son and me before each lesson to find out what my son needed to work on. After each lesson, he aslo took time to go over our son's results. My son passed the test!!! He said Charles was a much better instructor, because he knew what the DMV drive test evaluators were looking for and what errors students made that caused them to fail. I would recommend Accredited Driving School over the other schools in the area, which we found to not put in the extra time or have flexible schedules.
