Save your money go elsewhere! If I would have known it would be this impossible to schedule in-cars for my son I would have went with another company. My son missed class 3 because he was sick with pneumonia. It delayed him almost a month due to the crazy scheduling. Fast forward and now he has been done with the classes for over a month and EVERYTIME we log into the portal literally no in-car times are available. He has yet to do 1 session. He was told they don’t have enough instructors! Seriously! Stop accepting peoples money if you don’t have the staff to fulfill the demand! Complete waste! UPDATE--- After emailing the office asking for a refund and writing this review I was contacted and my son was scheduled. Go figure! He completed all his in-cars during the winter break. It shouldn't have had to take all this to get them scheduled but I'm glad it’s over!

Giving 5STARS TO MONA…Mona is an amazing driving instructor! My daughter Naomi really enjoyed her in car driving lessons with Mona! She said Mona was patient, kind, and made her feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. Naomi learned so much from her. We’re very happy with the experience and truly appreciate Mona’s professionalism and teaching style!

Listen, I can tell you that my Grandson received the most incredible in car lessons you can have as a teenager. Ms. Mona S. was very professional. She was always on time and my grandson was so happy that she was his instructor.. She was patient, thorough, and encouraging in his development of skills.. Ms. Mona S, knows what she is doing and she cares about our kids and it shows.. You have to be a very special person to have the compassion to drive and instruct inexperienced drivers.. My grandson became more confident each time he received his driving instructions from her… He always had nice things to say about his driving experiences with her. I would highly recommend Ms. Mona S to any parent who is hesitant regarding the in car instruction.. I am so pleased with my grandson’s outcome. He is more confident, encouraged, and ready to become a licensed driver, thanks to the expertise training from Ms. Mona S.

Listen, driving school is driving school and it hasn't changed much in the past 25 years. It's still expensive and it's still hard to schedule around the excessively busy teen lives. However, I have had two teen drivers go through this driving school, and have no complaints. I had no issues getting my current child, who is quite busy, scheduled in her in cars, and even was able to change my original appointments to times that were more favorable. I have called and talked to them and never had issues. They maybe aren't overly friendly but I don't care and that's not the expectation. I just want my kids to get their licenses without too much hassle and that's what I got. Don't let the reviews saying it's impossible to drive in car scare you away, you have to flexible and put a little time in to scheduling but it isn't as impossible as people make it seem.
