Testimonials
"Fantastic Experience!! My daughter chose to do the online class, so my review is for the in person instruction. I ended up riding along the first couple of days. Clint was her instructor and I can't say enough good things about how impressive the entire process is. He's so patient and great at presenting the information and directions. Would absolutely send my next driver here...if I had one. Highly recommended if you're looking for a place to get your kid on the road."
"Taking driver's Ed through this place was absolutely perfect. I would highly recommend this place. When it came to driving with an instructor, they were also amazing. The instructors will always build conversation with you, so that there is no awkward silence. I would highly recommend Kristen as a driving instructor. She is really easy going and super encouraging in all of the drives. I love how I was able to take the course online and not have to go to school early in the morning. I also like how they driving days aren't spread out, they are 3 days in a row. If you are looking for a local driver's ed association, this is the place to go."
