    After 2 years of experience with this driving school, I can only say they are very disrespectful…read morecondescending and just plain rude. Not worth the money you have to pay. I surely wouldn't let my child be taught by the people in this company.

    This is going to be a very descriptive review so hold on, haha. First, I do want to clarify that I…read moredid get my license and I didn't think I ever would without driver's training, however this particular company had a few concerns. My very first lesson was mostly parking lot practice and a bit around the block, but I don't feel like I had any "real" training. I opted for the Gold package. I didn't practice parking, straight line backing,lane positioning (I got marked on that on my driver's test) I didn't practice a lot of the things on the list of things the first lesson entails on the website. I requested a different driver after that lesson so I trained with David instead and he was great! He had me practice my weak areas many times until I got it down, he posted evaluations and comments after every lesson (first driver didn't do that) I was glad to have gone the route I did or I would've felt like I wasted $800. My behind the wheels test day finally arrived and the car I took my test in was not the same car I had practiced in every other lesson and we did not go over the check list in that car like we did every other time in the other car so I forgot where the Emergency break was. In the other car, it was a pedal. In this car,it was a button. So it was sort of frustrating that everything was switched up on me so quickly. We didn't do any freeway training, but that's okay. I felt we were behind because of the first lesson. I'll need to practice that on my own. On the website, for the Gold package, it says "This package includes everything covered in the Basic Teen Package, plus we will provide an hour and a half of training before the student's DMV exam, as well as our vehicle for taking the exam. We can also schedule the test for you. This package is ideal for those parents and students wanting to ensure they pass the driver examination. We've found that warming up with an instructor before the exam makes students confident and prepared which produces excellent results." When I initially read that, I was under the impression that I would be practicing with the DMV examiner before the test, I liked the idea of practicing with my examiner, however I did not. The wording on that was a bit misleading. Oh and on the days following the road test, I "practiced the road test" with my instructor several times but the rout I took was nothing like the road test. We went on a roundabout in which I only practiced once before,the morning of the test. I didn't understand the roundabout and I did not take the correct exit she told me to, so I went on a completely unfamiliar route and drove very slow and got marked for that lol I live in Paradise and I'm not used to Chico residential streets so I drove slow in case there was a hidden stop sign. I just feel like I got marked on a lot of stuff the school could've taught me. I did spend almost $1000 on it. Oh and also, on my third lesson, we were practicing in Chico and we came up on a stoplight that looked like the one in the picture. I started taking a left turn when my light was a green light and not a green arrow, which clearly states I must yield to oncoming traffic. I was told to go and almost got hit by a driver taking a right turn. That bothered me because I felt the instructor should have taken me on roads he was familiar with, because he didn't know that was a protected and unprotected stoplight. We all learned a valuable lesson that day on that light though. I take responsibility for that too, but I listened to him when he said go so I guess I got confused. ETA: I wanted to edit my review and add the phone operator was really sweet and she was definitely my favorite person I had the opportunity to interact with throughout this whole experience.

    I researched several companies before choosing West Point Driving School. I selected them for their…read moretransparency, strong ratings from KCRA, and the simplicity of their website. Scheduling was flexible, and we were able to keep the same instructor throughout the entire course. Ken, our driving instructor, made us feel like family. He provided instruction in a calm, gentle, and straightforward manner--perfect for my daughter, who was extremely anxious. I also appreciated being able to attend each of her sessions, which added an extra layer of comfort and support. I highly recommend West Point Driving School for anyone looking for a personalized and supportive driving experience. And the best part-- my daughter passed her behind-the-wheel test and is now a licensed driver. Thank you, West Point!

We purchases one lesson at a time and did all lessons with Josh. My daughter felt comfortable with him and although we were told we could ride along we chose to not. The third lesson was the week before her behind the wheel test and she passed with a perfect score. Overall I was happy with the smooth process, customer service, and the instructor knowledge. They drove from Natomas to Elk Grove and the midtown and downtown area. She was always given feedback after every lesson so she knew what to work on. We also did the 55 plus hours with her during the 6months she had the permit so both practice and a great school is key. Will definitely use with my 15 year old again.

    Coastline Academy is the BEST driving school in Chico. They're a national company, but they treat…read moretheir customers as if they're your neighbors. The teachers are local, and really good. So far my son has only had one teacher, Mathew, and my son loves him! He's learned a lot and has even taught me a few things I didn't know, and I've been driving for 37 years! Customer Service is excellent! I spoke with quite a few, but Ashley went above and beyond and I appreciate their kindness and efficiency. After we *both* learned a few things from Matthew I'd say that if you've been driving for a long time, it's a good idea to pick up a California Driving Handbook. Not only were professional driving schools not required back in the 80's and early 90's, but a few laws have changed since then and it's a good idea to freshen up your knowledge of the California road rules, regulations and safety etc. Lessons are expensive no matter what, and they're all about the same price. Coastline tends to be available within a few days, so if you're looking to book a lesson ASAP, they're the ones to call. I'm definitely going to have my daughter use Coastline, and I definitely recommend them to anyone!
