Very professional, easy to schedule, my teen liked her first lesson with Noel. What impressed me…read moremost is that when I paid 3 session and could not find the time i want ( my mistake), they refunded me and let me schedule one at a time. Again, i underestimated that summer is a busy time, I could not find any time to finish the rest before my kid's test next week. So i had to go to an individual instructor. Advantage had no issue to send a letter for the one lesson completed by them. I think a business shows true character when spending time for things not bringing revenue, but helping clients, 100% recommended!

Because our 19-year old daughter has learning disabilities, my wife and I wanted to make sure she…read morereceived additional driving instruction and contacted Beverly Driving School. We were willing to pay additional funds to help our daughter competently manage the responsibility of a car. We paid for 82 hours of lessons beginning 6/18/25 to 10/18/25. All of our payments were made directly by request to Mack (real name: Mohsen Khaziri) and not Beverly Driving School. The number on his website is his cell phone. Mohsen was aware our daughter had learning disabilities and we were convinced he had the training and skills to help someone like her. Knowing that he was a father gave us even more confidence that she would get the security she needed. And the fact that we invested a significant sum of money is a testimony to our commitment to get her the help she needed. On our initiative, my wife and I did ride-alongs with Mack and our daughter because we put our trust in him as a professional. When our daughter started giving us feedback that her motivation for continuing was lacking, we didn't take it too seriously since it's been a challenge for her to stick with things. Later, we realized the discomfort wasn't the process but was with Mack. Our daughter told us she was touched inappropriately on multiple occasions. He repeatedly asked to meet with her outside of lessons and requested it be kept secret. I confronted Mack by phone on 10/18/25 and after asking directly, he acknowledged viewing pictures of her on her phone. I also asked him directly about touching her thigh and he said yes - apparently because she moved her seat too far forward. Lastly, I asked him if he had ever behaved inappropriately and he denied it. He did not apologize for any of this but changed the subject to her upcoming driving test. My wife and I have taken further steps with the police about this. We filed police report P25-291-0621 with SJPD Officer D. Tran #5131. He took advantage of a person with learning disabilities and it doesn't matter what age. It was one of the most deplorable things one can do. It was done from a position of immaturity and he could have told us this was going on but he didn't say a word. We do not want this behavior to be repeated with anyone else. In addition, at the end of summer, Mack also asked us for a significant cash advance because he "needed it". We refused. I also repeatedly asked for billing statements and after repeated entreaties, received a hastily typed word document. I'm still waiting for a summarized statement of our lessons.

She is very professional in her work and always made sure to demonstrate or explain anything where I needed more clarity. A few other things I really liked were her patience and calm attitude during lessons, which is especially important for beginners. She paid attention to small details that actually helped a lot during the test. I also liked that she gave periodic feedback and useful tips that were very helpful in improving my driving skills. Every lesson felt productive and informative, and I got many opportunities to handle different road situations, which made me feel much more confident behind the wheel. I am really grateful for all her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to take driving lessons.

We got a discount for the online course through a digital flyer posted by our school district (if only my auto insurance offered similar discounts)! The course was informative, interesting, and well laid out. My son was able to navigate and complete the process totally on his own. He only missed one on the final practice test and feels well prepared and ready to take the DMV permit exam. The icing on the cake, though, was the great customer service we received when we found ourselves in a bind and the local manager went above and beyond to assist us in dealing with a time sensitive issue. This company is truly "economic" as it pertains to cost, but the program and service are definitely First Rate!

The next day I called and their answering service said email or text was the best way to reach the company. So I emailed and sent a message via their website to try to reschedule. No response.

It's been 3 days and I haven't been able to get a response about rescheduling the appointment that I've already paid for but was canceled by the instructor because he was sick. I just sent another text and am crossing my fingers someone will reply to something.
