We had a great experience with Safeway Driving from start to finish. Donna was so personable and detail-oriented. She assigned a combination of high-quality instructors to meet our unique needs. As a result, my driver was supported and encouraged and passed the DMV test with flying colors. We are very appreciative! read more

Today my son had his DMV driving test and he passed with flying colors. While we were waiting in line to finish the paperwork at the DMV someone walked up to my son and clapped him on the back and we turned to see Randy, his amazing instructor from Safeway driving school. He happened to be there and was so excited to hear that my son had passed, but also said, "I had no doubt whatsoever that this would be the result!" Randy was a spectacular and encouraging instructor as everyone we've come in contact at Safeway has been. Both of our children went through their program and they both passed their drivers test on the first attempt. Another great job, heroes of Safeway! We will continue to spread the good word about your great training organization. read more

I enrolled my son in Safeway Driving School and couldn't have been happier. Donna was great at explaining the program, scheduling driving sessions, and scheduling his driving test. My son and I both love his instructor Mo, who is patient, kind, and an all-around excellent instructor and person. My son looked forward to his lessons, and I could see that he learned more after each lesson. He passed his driving test with a perfect score on his first attempt. He was calm and prepared, thanks to Mo and Safeway Driving School. Thank you. read more

Our son passed on his first attempt after doing the required 6 hours with Safeway Driving School. He was very nervous about driving and did not feel ready to take the test and his instructor Randy was so positive and encouraging. He was very thorough and he made him comfortable behind the wheel and confident in his ability to pass. read more

Sharon was daughter's instructor & fantastic! As parents, we even learned some things. Donna at the front desk always great with scheduling. Very professional with all info up front.

Donna is the one you'll speak with in the office. She's amazing....she puts you at ease the whole way so you can be confident your son or daughter will be in good hands the whole way! Their instructor "Bob" is wonderful. He made my son feel confident and reassured with every lesson. At the end of the process my son not only looked and felt confident, he said he felt prepared.

Teaching teen drivers the basics is what they are good at. Highly recommend them. James is a very good instructor with so much patience. He's very detailed in the work he does to help with very new drivers. read more

Booking was super easy, and lady answering the phone was wonderful to work with. Instructor was on time, and upon returning with my son, he really took his time to fill me in on what my son needs to work on. They let you pay in installments so need to come up with all the money upfront. read more

I am so glad that we chose Safeway Driving School. They helped us succeed! We gifted driving classes to my nephew. Donna helped me with scheduling all the appointments and picked the best driver for my nephew's needs. Classes were scheduled quickly without a long wait. She explained everything so there were no surprises. She was so professional and patient with many schedule changes and requests due to an upcoming agenda. We talked so much an introduction was no longer needed and I felt like we had known each other for years! Ha Ha. Jonathan was the instructor that took my nephew out. He was well liked and offered very valuable instruction. My nephew went from practicing in a parking lot with me one day to driving on the freeway after practicing with Jonathan the next. His confidence and driving ability after being with Jonathan was like night and day! I was impressed. On the day of the driving test, my nephew felt prepared. Safeway Driving School was fair and did not try to oversell driving classes. It was so convenient because they did home pick up on the day of the classes. They helped to schedule the driving test. They were with us every step of the way. They even called to congratulate us right away when my nephew passed his test on the first try. Thank you so much Donna and Jonathan! We highly recommend Safeway Driving School! read more

I have two teens who both have permits right now. My daughter previously completed her required instructor driving hours with a different company but even after completing those lessons, there were a lot of things that she was doing that had me scratching my head. I decided to look for a different driving school to book more lessons and landed on Safeway. I would highly recommend going with Safeway from the start. My child feels much more confident now and says the instructor with Safeway was just much better at explaining things and correcting any issues. read more

Sharon is the best instructor! She is calm and patient. Teaches rules, techniques and safety. Most of all she is pleasant! read more

Sharon was a great instructor. She was patient and very thorough. My child received a perfect score on the behind the wheel test at the DMV, thanks to Sharon. Donna, in the office, was always friendly and helpful too. read more

Great driver's school! My daughter has extreme anxiety and was unable to pass her test at the DMV. Driving with Jonathan Patrick and his calm disposition and great cheerleading skills; made it a much more empowering method of learning to drive. This school is the best one out there! They prescheduled her DMV test date and she passed with flying colors! She is so excited and so ready to be a knowledgeable driver out on the open road. Thank you Safeway Driving School! read more

They did a great job teaching our daughter to drive. Marilyn in the office was very helpful and James teaching her out on the road. They even have a program where they took her out driving and then to the DMV for her test. She passed the first time, no issues. In the beginning she was nervous about driving, but they taught her well. This was our second child to use Safeway Driving School, highly recommended. Thank you read more

My son started out at a different school where he had a horrible experience, so we switched to Safeway, and I'm glad we did! His teacher was Barbara. She was amazing from beginning to end. Unfortunately, before he could finish his lessons, the pandemic struck, and we were in limbo for a few months. To our surprise, we got a call from DMV on Tuesday rescheduling his driving test for the upcoming Saturday. When I spoke with Donna she wasn't sure how she was going to fit him in given the short notice, but she made it work! Barbara took him for his last hourly lesson on Thursday, he took the test on Saturday, and passed with a perfect score! Safeway, Donna, and Barbara are truly the best and I give them the highest recommendation. Thank you all, especially Barbara! read more

My daughter recently completed driving lessons with Sharon from Safeway driving. We had a great experience! Sharon was so patient with my daughter. She gave her and I great feedback after every lesson and always punctual. My daughter passed her DMV test last week thanks to Sharon's help. Definitely recommend! read more

My daughter recently passed her driving test with a nearly perfect score, and we thank Safeway Driving School (specifically Daryl!) for helping her achieve this! We chose the 12 hour package for her because we figured every extra opportunity to practice--especially with a trained instructor--would help ensure her preparedness to be out driving on her own! It was very convenient having him pick her up at home or school, complete the lesson, and bring her home at the end. Highly recommend!! read more

I have just moved here and was very anxious about driving in a different country. So I decided to take 4 hours practice with Jonathan Patrick before heading to DMV for the driving test and passed it from the first try! I highly recommend the school to everyone, the stuff is super friendly, helpful and patient! read more

Cannot be happier with Safeway Driving School. Donna in the TO office is the best. She was so helpful and I can't tell you how great is was to speak with someone so lovely and caring. Jonathan was an amazing instructor and just a nice and wonderful human being. Will be using this team again with my younger child as well. Thank you! read more

The amount of caring and listening this company gave really made me feel at ease. My son had some issues and they listened and found great instructors for him that understood his situation. So after 3 additional lessons of 2 hours each he was able to pass his behind the wheel test!!! Thank you Safeway Driving School for helping make this happen for him! read more

Safeway driving school in Thousand Oaks has been the best experience for getting my son permitted and licensed. Donna at the TO office has been extremely helpful explaining the entire process and the next steps needing to occur. Sharon, our driving instructor has also been very helpful with providing feedback after each driving lesson of what we need to work on and giving tips of what would result in an immediate fail on the driving test. She's patient with my son who feels like he "knows it all" already. I would highly recommend Safeway Driving School in Thousand Oaks for anyone with a teen driver! read more

It was a great experience for been trained with these driving school. The Driving instructor of mine sheryn was very good going and very helpful too. There co-ordinator donna was pretty friendly and helpful too. So overall it was a great experience been part of this driving school read more

After reading several reviews mostly from the Simi Valley Yelp, I took a chance and booked some classes with Safeway driving school in Thousand Oaks. It was definitely a smart choice. I am an older driver from Canada and I got the 2 hr refresher lesson as well as the 1 hr pre test and DMV driving test package. Not being from here and having to get retested in California is mandatory and stressful! Taking the course was definitely worth every penny! James was an awesome teacher, he was courteous, friendly and super knowledgeable as well as patient! Thanks James for showing me the correct way to drive in California! I passed my test with zero errors! I would highly recommend Safeway and James for their excellent guidance and more importantly - results. read more

Our daughter is a VERY nervous student driver and having a mishap on her first driving lesson before coming to Safeway didn't help her outlook. Her instructor Sharon could not have been a better fit! She was so gentle and encouraging and yet also pushed our daughter because she knew she could do it. Our daughter returned from her first lesson and was so encouraged and has not stopped talking about how great her experience was and how wonderful Sharon was as well. Thanks Safeway! read more

It was terrific dealing with Safeway Driving School. Donna in the T.O. Office was so easy to work with. Our daughter had such a great experience driving with Sharon. She was awesome! Thanks so much!! read more

Nice and friendly. My son is having so much fun learning how to drive with James. Definitely recommend!!

I am an adult driver from India, but I had no prior experiences of having driven in the United States. It had also been almost 10 years since I had sat behind the steering wheel of a car. So I decided to book 6 lessons with Safeway Driving School at Thousand Oaks. My instructor Sharon was absolutely amazing! She was really patient, dedicated and thorough. It was a bit of a learning curve getting adjusted back to driving a vehicle again after such a long time, especially having only driven stick-shifts almost a decade ago in a different country with vastly different traffic rules. But Sharon made it worthwhile. She always added little tips and tricks and pointed out traffic laws and regulations that are important for passing the behind-the-wheel DMV drive test. On top of everything, Sharon was super nice and friendly and it was really great having her as my driving instructor. In the end, taking the DMV driving test seemed like a piece of cake, thanks to Sharon's amazing instructions! Would highly recommend Safeway Driving School and Sharon! read more

Safeway Driving School is the BEST. My daughter signed up with Safeway in January, and had several great lessons with Darryl before COVID-19 hit and everything shut down! Once we were able to reschedule my daughter's behind the wheel DMV test for July 17th, Donna at Safeway moved heaven and earth to squeeze my daughter in for her last lesson on the 16th (whew)! After Darryl's great instruction, my daughter passed with flying colors. Thank you to everyone at Safeway for such a great experience. Toni A. read more

My 16 year old and I had a bad experience with another school and we tried Safeway Driving and it was so much better. The instructor was nice and their cars are clean. We used their car so my son can take his driving test and they drove with him one hour before the test. I love the service and my son passed his test with no problem. read more
