I am beyond impressed with Deborah Smith at Stop & Go Driving School! My son, Gage, just finished his lessons with her and successfully passed his road test, and Deborah was instrumental in his success. From day one, she was professional, patient, and very thorough. Deborah provided written evaluations after each lesson, which made it easy to track Gage's progress and gave him clear goals to focus on. Her supportive and encouraging teaching style helped him feel calm, capable, and prepared for the test. Stop & Go is lucky to have someone like Deborah - she sets the bar incredibly high. Parents, if you're looking for a driving instructor who goes above and beyond, I wholeheartedly recommend her. read more

Stop and Go Driving School - Gage at Stop & Go - Driving Schools Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The daughter is now driving. I couldn't teach her as no matter how hard I pressed my foot down, there was never a break pedal on the passenger side to slow the car down. So then my flinching, grasping the dashboard, and moving my leg erracticly seemed to make my child nervous. The nerves of steel drivers at Stop and Go not only couldn't on the streets with her but took her on the freeway! They would drive around for two hours at a time, covering all the problem areas she had and getting her practice in. Then after the session they would give me a run down of how it went, what she did well and what she needed to work on. You can have a lesson as early as 6am and late into night. They pick up and drop off, so if strategic you can also get out of some chauffeuring. The last and best possibly draw of stop and go is that the final session of a five session package is their driving test. If pass you get a certificate and can go to dmv with that and avoid the test there. Huge time saver and way less stress for the kid. read more

Hunter is amazing whenever I call to ask a question. Very helpful with helping me schedule for driving lessons. The instructors are very nice and informative. I have not finished my behind the wheel lessons yet, but of the lessons I have taken so far, it gave me confidence in driving. read more

We loved Stop and Go Driving School! They have fabulous instructors and my son was able to obtain his drivers license. Special shout out to Debbie Smith and Cole Smith!! Thank you so much for teaching people how to drive, we'll definitely recommend read more

My son just finished up the 10 hour course and passed the test with confidence. Bill Oakes was his instructor and was excellent! He was calm, encouraging, and helped my son feel confident on the road. His instruction, especially with parking, helped build my son's skills for safe driving. The schedule online does fill up pretty quickly, but if you call to schedule on Tuesdays it is a total breeze. This was definitely worth the money we paid! read more

Parents- go with your kids. I did this as an adult (21) and the instructors were all nice, but they are supposed to talk a lot to act as a distraction, which is fine, but several of the drivers made weird comments about driving with people born outside of the country. It felt like they were looking down on those people. Otherwise, it was helpful, but the comments were unnecessary and unprofessional. read more

Stop and Go Driving School is the best place in Tucson to learn driving. Their cars have brakes on the passenger side for added security. They accommodate special needs students and were very friendly, supportive and thorough with education and skills. Peter is a wonderful instructor and uses humor and stories as examples to ease the nervousness of new students. He has nerves of steel during every new bump in the road, and confidently takes control of the vehicle if ever necessary. He gets new learners on the road almost immediately and plunges them into driving with confidence. Thank you for a great driving experience and for laying the groundwork for success and safety in driving. read more

I went through the 10 hour driving class with Stop and Go a few months ago. I am so glad I did, I really felt like I was learning. If you are able to get Phil or Peter as your instructors, you will be so happy. These two instructors were incredibly kind and sensitive to the nerves that a student might be experiencing (especially a student who was already so nervous, they waited until they were in their 20's to learn ((I'm talking about myself haha))). They kept up little bits of chit chat, cracked a few jokes and got to know their students. It helped ease my nerves a little, I trusted them because of how they opened up. Peter and Phil genuinely wanted their students to pass the driving test and they worked with me to ensure that I would be successful. They are the reason that I give them a 5 star. Kaleb was an ok instructor, but for someone like me, who was incredibly nervous, it wasn't fantastic. He spoke maybe a total of 5 or 6 sentences to me for the entire two hour course. There were a few times where he forgot to direct me to turn when he wanted me to make turns- instead of waiting until the next light, he would grab the steering wheel and guide the car. It happened twice in my ride, which I don't think was very helpful. Avoid classes with Cole as much as possible. He is pretty mean. I actually started tearing up during the 2 hour session. He was the instructor for my second session with Stop and Go. I was berated because I hadn't really worked on driving around curbs yet and almost ran up onto the curb. He felt that I should have already covered not sliding across the curbs or driving onto them in my first session- even though there were no curbs to practice the with in my the parking lot we used during my first session. While I learned a few things with Cole, it wasn't worth it to be feeling badly, nervous and uncomfortable my entire 2 hour session. (I am also not saying this because I want my money back or anything else. I just wanted to give a warning to anyone who might be a nervous driver like myself. I just wanted to share my experience in the hope that I help someone else out there decide which instructors they want to work with). read more

My student driver gained valuable experience and info with the instructors, but availability and punctuality were extremely lacking. There were never weekend slots open, so we had to schedule during the week, early morning before school started several times. On each of those mornings instructors were 10+ minutes late picking my driver up, and then late to drop her off causing there to be a rush to get her to school on time. I found it odd the majority of available time slots are during the week, during the day when so many of the students are school aged. Again, my driver felt like they learned some good things during their 10 hours worth of lessons, but it was us, the customer, adjusting to Stop & Go's schedule, when for $800 you would think the schedule and punctuality would be more customer driven. read more

Highly recommend! I signed my daughter for a 10 hour driving package where the driving instructor picks her from home and drive in 2 hour scheduled sessions. If you can try to schedule with Debra. She's an amazing instructor that her students have to be on a wait list because her slots quickly fill up. She's very patient and has a way with teenagers especially if you have an anxious one when it comes to driving. I also recommend, getting their driver's permit class (classroom setting) with them because their instructors really teach them the important lessons so they can pass the written test. Definitely worth the price and thanks to Debra, my daughter passed her driving test! read more

My daughter (16) bought the full package of 15 sessions (30 hours behind the wheel) and loved it. I refused to schedule her with only one driving teacher, and instead, she drove with six different ones, at different times of the day. She enjoyed the different driving styles of the instructors and was grading them as she drove. A couple of the instructors should not be instructors in the school as they don't have social skills to approach a teenager. They treated my daughter as an adult and confused her a few times, but at the end, it was a great experience and now, that she has her license, she asked me to thank the school. The school went through a scheduling software upgrade and there were a couple of scheduling issues, but Josh took care of it immediately. I never had a problem reaching a person in the office. It was always Josh and the communication with him, as well as with all other instructors, was very nice, respectful and business-like. My daughter passed her evaluation and received her certificate after the 11th session. I was in no rush to get her a license and she drove all 15 sessions to gain more experience. We took the certificate to the DMV and together with the application, she received her driving license without the need to be tested again at the DMV. I highly recommend the school based on our experience. read more

This school is the best! I've had a couple of instructors, but Kaleb has been the most helpful! He was very patient with me and kept conversation with me the whole time which eased my anxiety during the drive. He was very motivating and positive. I am really looking forward to my next classes with him! read more

My daughter passed her permit test!!! Thank God for this class!!! We'll be back for driving classes as well. Thank you! read more

The stop and go instructor was being super racist to a kid just asking questions. She didn't answer his questions just blew him off and then when he was trying to participate she told him to shut up in front of everyone then took his paper after we just completed the review. It was really rude and she couldnt give us a correct answer. I hope they do something about her. She is an old hag and doesnt answer questions. Completely rude and disrespectful. Children need respect too. Its absolutely not ok. read more

I was so impressed by the professionalism and ROI in purchasing this experience for my daughter. I want to emphasize that Jackson Fell was an amazing instructor. He demonstrated patience, resilience and provided her with critical/essential driving skills that will last her a lifetime. This is a must purchase for any new driver. Thank you. read more

It was very hard to schedule appointments for the instructors. They're posted every 2 weeks. If you have time to sit at your computer on that Tuesday, you might get an appointment. However if you work and your child goes to school all day. Times are very limited during after school. However there were a lot at 5am if your child wants or can get up that early. I will say that after trying for over a month and not being able to get appointments, they were very nice and have a full refund read more

I did the driver's instruction for student drivers. First, let me say that I'm an aspie and was a little apprehensive about going because of my anxieties. I had two different instructors; the first was very sarcastic and I had trouble telling when he was serious and when he was joking, while the second was easier going and not sarcastic in the least. Both had different teaching styles, and had different methods of getting me to do things. Personally, I found the second instructor's methods easier to perform because of the way he taught it. Whether you're a teenager looking for someone to take you out and teach you, or someone older who didn't learn to drive as a teenager, this is a good place for you to get it done. The teachers are amazing and compassionate, and the schedulers are pretty straightforward with what you'll need. read more

Our son did driving lessons here and they are amazing! Debbie Smith is a great instructor. As I am sure they all are, but we had her and our son is a great defensive driver now! Would def recommend! read more

The manager Josh is beyond unprofessional and has all the excuses in the book on why he can not schedule drivers and students. Even though it is promised to be able to book, of course after you have paid the full amount. Second time I called he gave me the same run around on how difficult it was to manage cars, drivers and times. The next available time for lesson would be in Sept. after having been told how important it was to have lessons consecutively each week. I told him this was unacceptable and told him it was BS. Josh then proceeded to hang up on me. I wish I had the owners phone number. He needs a new manager. read more

Stop and Go Driving School delivers! We purchased the driver's learners permit class and was totally prepared to take the test. Passed the test without problem. The class also covered the documentation that you need to bring to MVD. I would highly recommend this school. read more

This is our second experience with Stop and Go Driving School. Both of our daughters have had Peter as their behind the wheel instructor. Our first daughter went through the permit class as well and was very impressed with all that she learned. She was confident in going in to take the written test passing easily. If you've ever tried to teach your kids to drive you know that any fee to pay someone else to take away that stress is worth it! Not only is it worth it with Stop and Go, you'll be getting the best instruction in a safe learning environment. They are flexible with scheduling, always contact you in advance to confirm your appointment times, and are on time! Our daughters have had their instruction time begin with pick up at their school and drop off at home and vice versa. They have driven in the mornings, evenings, and weekends. They have driven on the interstate, city streets, and highways. You can schedule your drive times online or by calling the school directly. They use safe, well-maintained, newer vehicles for the instruction. Our daughters were provided with an all around quality instruction making us feel confident in their ability to safely drive alone when they obtained their driver's license. All of the testing criteria is reviewed, practiced, and explained to ensure they know how to drive safely and lawfully. We highly recommend Stop and Go for anyone looking for a high quality, well rounded, safe learning experience. read more

I am 23 years old, and I have always had a fear of driving. So I decided to book the 10 hours of driving classes with Stop and Go in order to have a professional put my mind at ease and to finally get my license. It was the best decision I have ever made! While one of my classes was with Gilbert (who was great and easygoing) most of my classes were with Peter, who was a great instructor! He did an awesome job of teaching me skills and was INSANELY patient with me. Best decision of 2019! read more

My daughter took lessons from Debbie, who was great -- knew exactly what she was doing, was calming and confidence-inspiring, and had an excellent command of both local road geography and speed limits and the rules of the road in Arizona. She was also very kind and flexible in terms of pickup and dropoff locations. Highest recommendation for both Debbie and Stop and Go. read more

If you have to go to Traffic Survival School (and I hope you don't ) after a traffic violation, this is the place. Mark Campbell is personable and engaging instructor; he doesn't single anyone out as an example of driving badness, and he's entertaining. read more

Amazing program with an amazing instructor! Thanks Phil H. for giving me the confidence I needed and the extra push to learn! So glad I signed up with this school. Would recommend 100% for new drivers, young and older! read more

Super nice, intelligent and interesting instructor. Quick day. I don't think it gets better than this for a traffic violation.

Kathleen you're full of AWESOMENESS! And because of that I got my drivers license today. Thank you very much for the valuable driving instructions and being so friendly as well. read more

Initially We thought things were going very well. My daughter did five 2 hour sessions With the permit class to the tune of about $700. The mistake we made was we stayed with the same person for all five sessions (Cole). On the 5th session he took her in town with more traffic and he didn't pass her. He did not take her to practice in traffic more on the previous sessions. He wrote down the areas of concern that was not organized and not that legible. Stop and go had no follow up at all. I called 3 or 4 times to try and get one more 2 hour session and the owner said I would need to pay full price. They were very responsive when starting the initial process but not so much after the fact. Finally agreed to charge me only $80 for one more session but we went with another company. Follow up is key, I have another daughter ready to start driving in 1 year but won't use Stop and Go. read more
