I had always been really nervous about getting behind the wheel but Luis was incredibly patient and supportive and he made the lessons enjoyable. He made sure I felt comfortable at every step, which made a huge difference in building my confidence. The staff at the school, including the secretary, were all super nice as well and really flexible with scheduling my lessons, which I appreciated since I have a pretty busy schedule. The pricing was very reasonable, especially for the quality of instruction I received. I passed my driving test on the first try! If you're someone who's been putting off driving because of fear or nerves, I highly recommend Abel's Driving School. They truly made a difference for me, and I'm so grateful !!!

She confirmed my lesson, then sent me a confirmation text with the lesson times, then said "sorry wrong student," then told me my lesson times weren't available anymore. When I tried to move the lesson, she said I'd have to pay $50. I tried to reason with her and told her i could pay half of it or something smaller because I couldn't make the lesson anymore due to having to move stuff around cuz of her mistake, to which she replied that the $50 wasn't available anymore and I'd have to pay the fee of the entire lesson. The business seems quite disorganized. It's not a surprise that most of the negative reviews refer to the administration rather than the instructors. :(

There was a slight hiccup from the first session but their Ops Manager, Mclean, handled it like an organizational pro and went above and beyond. It was smooth sailing from that point on.

As a considerably older and more anxious new driver, I decided to take three lessons with Karin's…read moreDriving School to get some practice in and learn the rules of the road. Angel, my instructor, always promptly arrived 5+ minutes earlier than the scheduled time, and was extremely professional, encouraging and helpful. Under his instruction, I went from being extremely anxious to ready to drive on freeways and LA streets and take my exam. My actual DMV driving exam was extremely traumatic but I still passed the first time, and everything Angel reviewed with me was highly applicable. Thank you so much to Angel for being such an amazing and empathetic instructor, and I would highly recommend checking them out especially since they're a bit cheaper than the other driving schools in the West LA area!

I had been avoiding learning to drive for years after a few accidents in my teenage years left me…read morewith severe car anxiety. For a long time, I was scared that I would have a horrible experience with any kind of driving program... I was afraid whatever instructor I got would be too harsh, wouldn't understand my situation, or would be impatient with my needs as an anxiety-ridden student. I feel so lucky to have found 1st Choice Driving School and my wonderful driving instructor Cris. From our very first session Cris was kind, empathetic, and patient. Just after our first few hours together he already had identified my weaknesses as a driver and what seemed to be triggers for my anxiety behind the wheel. He specifically catered the lessons to slowly chip away at my weak spots and challenged me at my own pace- understanding that moving too fast would could make my anxiety worse and letting me choose how fast we progressed based on confidence level. When I messed up, he corrected me kindly and calmly and made sure I knew exactly what the mistake was instead of getting impatient with me. He kept the energy in the car lighthearted, no matter how nervous I was, and was very funny! You can tell he is very passionate about his work and truly enjoys teaching his students. If all of this doesn't convince you how thoughtful of an instructor he is, he also quickly figured out how crazy people drive in my area of Los Angeles and planned our sessions around easier neighborhoods so that I wouldn't have to deal with the stress of tight streets and aggressive drivers. For years I genuinely thought I may never drive... But after a few months of spaced out lessons with Cris, I passed my driving exam first try with only 5 errors. Now I have been driving for over half a year and am calm and confident behind the wheel. I will forever be grateful that I had such a fantastic driving instructor. If you are scared about learning to drive- Cris is absolutely your guy! Thank you so much Cris!!

This school initially seemed to be a great school but on the second lesson, the you boy in his 20's…read morethat taught my son, smoked him out with a vape pen after the lesson. He offered my recently 18-yr old to smoke from his pen, in addition to his side cash driving lessons business where we would save money vs. booking through the school. It took me 3 tries to actually speak with the manager (left a voicemail and then texted them twice). The manager pretended not to know what I was calling about and then proceeded to share details from the instructor's POV. So clearly she knew why I was calling. Instead of being apologetic and trying to remedy the situation, she pointed blame on my son and said it was his vape and he convinced the instructor to smoke. Look, I understand that kids are kids and I will never know the real truth. However, from a "professional" company NONE of this should be happening and the Manager should have address this correctly with her employee and with us (his parents). This is not ok especially with a kid who barely turned 18.

I'll admit I was a little nervous about how quickly he was put in the driver's seat, but looking back, it really helped him learn quickly and build confidence early on. Johnathon was patient and great with my son, who really liked working with him. On top of that, their prices were the most reasonable we found in the area. Highly recommend if you're looking for a driving school that gets your teen real practice right away without breaking the bank.

My daughter had taken lessons from another company where the instructor was professional but not nearly as informative and thorough as Daniel was with me, the parent, about what he was going to teach before the session and what they did after the session. As other reviewers have mentioned, Daniel is so knowledgeable about every aspect of instructing "how" to be a good driver, why you need to maneuver the car this way or that way, and took my son on all sorts of streets and freeways and different situations. And yes, Daniel is very funny (in a subtle way, I've noticed myself) and very very patient. And my son can attest to these comments! If you're looking for a driving school, I HIGHLY recommend Cornerstone!

So, when the time came to schedule my 17-year-old, it was easy peasy and stress-free. I really appreciated how flexible they were with scheduling, too.

I couldn't recommend them enough!

I wish I could give them a 10/5…read more We did our mandatory six hours with them and it was absolutely amazing, great instructors who clearly care about them learning, taking great notes and rooting for them. They come right to your door, on time, friendly instructors - every single one of them. I honestly don't know how they find people with such great attitudes. My daughter gets a little apprehensive about new situations so everyone made her really comfortable. They said she did great. So! Because of that, we bought three more classes (extra six hours of experience). The first new lesson, she got over her fear of the freeway and did really well. She was so scared when it's her parents but with an instructor, she got over that. The second new lesson? This was the issue and absolutely kudos to Drivers Ed Direct. So, she gets panic attacks sometimes. It used to be really bad where she would miss school and it was almost daily and she hated it but she couldn't get through them, it was a rough year at the time. But, we got them mostly under control but for whatever reason... she had one about 15 minutes before her instructor showed up. I couldn't get her out of it (it's awful to see, as a parent), she was trying but she couldn't breath, short of breath. I greeted the instructor and said I have to deal with 'something' first and he was so patient, when he didn't need to be, as we were on the clock. She was in no shape to drive, it was bad... so I told him that, unfortunately, we had to cancel but we'd just eat the costs, no probably at all. He was totally amazing, my God... I was so stressed and he was like, "Totally no worries, I live close, it's okay." Nicest guy, per usual with them. The day after, I just emailed them to just apologize for that and I didn't even bring-up the cost or anything because, yeah, I should be on the hook for that, it's not their problem. But, guess what. They said it's okay and didn't even charge anything! They are going to reschedule it! I had to come on here immediately and pass that along because they absolutely didn't have to do that -- at all. But that's who they are - they care.

I would never recommend this driving school. From the first…read morephone call to the final step of issuing the student's certificate of completion for both the written and behind-the-wheel tests, the entire process was incredibly disorganized. Every interaction felt confusing, communication was poor, and we constantly had to follow up to get basic information and paperwork completed. What should have been a straightforward experience turned into a frustrating and stressful one. The lack of organization and professionalism made an already important milestone much more difficult than it needed to be. There are plenty of other driving schools that value their students' time and provide better customer service. Unfortunately, this was a horrible experience, and I would not recommend this place to anyone.
