Testimonials
I had Matt La B and he was super patient and great!
Yo no recomiendo que tomen claces con esta.escuela dan un pésimo cervical son unos rasistas me tuvieron casi 3 meses esperando para aser el examen y no me pusieron nunca en lista por que no hablo inglés cuando tienen instructor que habla espan̈ol de 270 que pague no me dobolbieron más 99 dolares además de ser rasistas son ladrones solo les importa el dinero de la jente
A real disappointment of a business! Don’t even bother lol they’ll have you pay initially, then wait to tell you there’s no more appointments & then add a 10% “refund fee” 😂
They don’t have enough driving lesson slots available. They enroll too many students than they can actually provide in-car driving lessons to.
The instructors are all funny and chill. They give you really good tips & tricks and I feel really prepared for my driving test.
