One of the instructors made some inappropriate comments about body weight during instruction. Not only is that offensive, but consider the age difference a class of teens, many young girls and an adult man making a comment that has absolutely zero to do with driving. hard pass read more

great service Rickio is a great instructor was very helpful during the entire lesson will definitely recommend to anybody.

Avoid this place at all cost. They took our money but wouldn't give us a driving test or a refund. They will charge your card before hand so they can tell you whatever. read more

Ann take my class she gives me so much confident to learn eazy way drive ! Ann gives me wing if she ever read my revue she will anderstand . So thankful !! read more

terrible experience with staff, and honestly the worst class I've taken in my life, wish I hadn't taken it. I took it online and all we did the was the homework and then go over the homework and you think after Covid they'd know how to use a computer but nope. I learned almost nothing from this class despite spending many nights studying and completing all the homework on time. I hope they get better staff as for the most part they were rude and felt like they wanted you to be late as they seem to just be money suckers that don't care about making good drivers. read more

I had a blast here! It's a bit strange that I never caught my instructor's name as I think I heard people refer to him as Dustin, Justin, or Tristen at different times. However, he was incredibly supportive and always trusted my decision from day one, even when I didn't know which pedal was for the gas or brake. He was also super responsible and acted as a life coach, encouraging me to trust my gut feelings and keep my eyes on the road. I highly recommend requesting the tall instructor with long hair, whose name may be Dustin, Justin, or Tristen lol. read more

On a referral from a neighbor, we signed our daughter up for ABC and they were great every step of the way. From scheduling classes to driving lessons, to tests and more tests, they communicated well through the process to keep us updated and aware of what was happening the whole time. My daughter always felt comfortable with the drivers and the instructors were consistently happy to help. The staff was helpful when we called with questions and held our hand along the way. Highly recommend ABC- it's no wonder everyone in the neighborhood loves them!! read more

I let my driver's license expire when I moved here from the People's Republic of California--apparently Washington frowns upon that. There is zero grace period, and I had to start as if I never had a DL before. My bad. I studied for the written test and took and passed it here. I then scheduled for the driving test and passed that as well. I can now drive legally again. Not that I would nor did ever drive a car without a valid driver's license. That's absurd. Everyone that I interacted with was supportive and helpful during a pretty stressful experience. If I am stupid enough to let my DL expire again, I would definitely come back here again. read more

This is a genuinely good family-run business. We had been helping an adult friend learn to drive for several months and she was making progress but not quite confident enough to get her license. She wasn't in a position to pay for a full set of professional lessons. One hour in the car with Steve and she tested out just fine. He knew exactly how to instill confidence and teach those things that are hard to master. We found them honest and sincerely interested in helping people become safe and road-ready drivers, not interested in soaking people for money unnecessarily. They will tell you up front if they feel you're not ready to test. We recommend them without reservation for youth or adults learning to drive. read more

Today I went to ABC driving school on Shoreline Aurora and it was my first ever experience doing the drive test before arriving I was notified several different times by text and email about my upcoming drive test just confirming I would be there on my set time and day which I really appreciated being a new mom I tend to forget things in correspondence I asked what the model of the vehicle I would be driving in so I could do some research on it and if they had seat belt extenders cuz I'm a larger woman the staff there went out of their way to order seat belt extenders and try them out on their vehicles Unfortunately they didn't work but I still took the chance at keeping my appointment with hopes that the seat belt would fit as I arrived and walked in I was greeted by the receptionist filled out some papers sat down and waited for my instructor I was early but my instructor had time so she came out introduced herself as Megan and then we proceeded to the vehicle as I got in the vehicle I tried the seat belt and it worked perfectly we adjusted everything mirrors seat temperature if you like cold air let Megan know ahead of time because she turned the heat on and I was sweating not just cuz I was nervous she likes cold air too she just doesn't want to freeze somebody. love it! Megan is amazing at explaining the rules of the road instructing communicating and giving positive words of encouragement and also positive and corrected professional constructive criticism. She really wants you to pass the test and does her absolute best to give you all of the tools you need to do so. She also tells you that you can talk and explain to yourself and walk yourself through steps as you are driving and doing a maneuver you may look crazy doing it but it definitely helps. If you're new to driving I surely advise you to pay the extra fee to use their car and pay for the time for practicing. It's well worth it definitely recommend Megan as an instructor her tips on parallel parking and backing around a corner which I had never done before even with the years that I had drove in illegally will forever be ingrained in my head I'm not going to share them because that's why they're so successful there so go and find out after the test was over and I found out I passed I was so excited. I thanked Megan and the staff there and want on my way. P.s. Megan has the good homemade snacks thank you! read more

I took this class through its partnership with Lakeside (my high school). There isn't much to say about the classroom lessons; they were solid and gave me good information. I'd say my most positive experience with this school was with my 6 drives I had to complete. There was one instructor who I felt I learned the absolute most from; Rick. He was a great instructor because he taught me all sorts of tips and tricks. When I had to do a drive, I was always glad to see the ABC car pull up with Rick inside. He had a great sense of humor which made me feel a lot less stressed. Rick's boss, if you're reading this, give him a raise or something, ok? And Rick if you're reading this, I love your hat that you always wore on our drives. Great company all around, highly recommend for anyone looking to start their driving career! read more

READ BEFORE AND DOING BUSINESS W/THEM They are a licensed business that offer $500 classes. #1 THERE IS No automated systems that check for right or wrong answers on your TEST. It's done manually by the old blonde lady in the office and checked by her one of a kind BLUE SLIP with punctured holes. The tests are RANDOMIZED and will Have questions meant to confuse you with similar sounding answers. This is understandable they want to know if you studied. It's your first time YOU ARRIVE, they check you out, take your phone you feel ready an start flipping threw the test you read a couple questions and the wording on them throws you off. so you ask and see if you can get any clarification on the problem KAREN says: "no you have to try your best but you do have the option to place a mark on the ones that you feel you may have got wrong or do get wrong, we can review wrong answers afterwards just try your hardest" Student: "okay thank you" you mark the questions you felt confused by an try your best You double check your answers by what ever means necessary You turn it in. She checks for any missed questions And you then Ask KAREN Student: "how Does the grading process work here?" Karen: "it's 2 points per question, THEIRS 50 questions you need 80% to pass" Ps I got 74% 3x in a row on separate occasions Student: " But how do you know which test is which when you randomized the tests wouldn't all the answers would be randomized into different orders?" Karen:"yes they are but Our systems tell us which" she smiles in my face and proceeds to pull out her tiny BLUE SLIP AND fillS out my test by matching the punctured circles on it. Student: "SORRY BUT THAT still doesn't answer my question how do you tell the difference between my test AND SOMEONE ELSES TEST and how do you do you know it will match your blue slip"? Karen: "I can't show you our systems just tell us sorry" Student: "interesting. how'd I do" Karen: "sOrRy yOu DiDnT pASs Did yOu rEaD yOuR bOoK?" Student: "of course I wouldn't come unprepared" Karen: "You should study a little harder" Student: " I'll try harder next time but can I review the ones I marked an got wrong like you said?" Karen says: "we can't at the moment OUR SYSTEMS ARE NEW, I MIGHT Have them to you SOMETIME THIS WEEK." Very unprofessional and unclear Student: "I'll keep an eye out for my email inbox" Karen: "do you want to schedule another appointment it's only $10 for next time" Student: "not until I review I'll be expecting that email from you on Monday like you said" Karen: "okay have a nice day." Next client. Never got an email Oddly enough I went somewhere else and got it on my first Try read more

Because of my fear of driving, I waited to get my license. My friend recommended me this place and I thought why not. I did the 6 driving lessons in total, 1st day with Ann, 2nd day with Steve, 3rd day with Eddy, and 4-6th lesson with Rick. Everyone made me comfortable and gave me helpful tips for the driving test. Rick did a wonderful job teaching me how to parallel park and backing up around the corner!! He took his time with me and made sure I did all the things needed for the driving test multiple times so I would get the hang of it. Overall, my experience was amazing and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who need help to get on the road. Oh, and I passed my skills test wooohoo!!!!!! Thank you ABC Driving School!!!!! read more

Had an awesome experience here with Rick who was my instructor. Rick made the process extremely easy for me by pointing out common pit-falls and he also gave me some great driving tips. I have 5+ years of driving experience in India so adjusting to a new country was definitely difficult. However, Rick's expertise and friendly attitude made my journey pretty easy. I highly recommend anyone who is new to driving to schedule a lesson and test with Rick. It was 100% worth my money. read more

Rick is an amazing instructor. Not only did he point out exactly where I could improve but also gave spot-on advice, tips, and tricks. Passed my skills test in the first attempt after just one lesson. read more

I highly recommend ABC Driving School. I absolutely loved the teaching style. My instructor gave clear directions, we practiced several things that I needed to work on and I was able to pass my skills test the first time around! They were very professional and prices are reasonable as well! read more

ABC Driving School and DOL Testing Center Rocks!!! Steve who was my instructor was GREAT. I took the practice then driving test afterwards. I would recommend anybody who hasn't been behind the wheel in a while, newbies or just a refresh of what the test I might be like. Steve was clear on his instructions, practice on my errors (which were few ) , gave me compliments and most of all maybe me feel so comfortable to where I was confident during the practice and skills test. I have told everybody about this wonderful place. Oh yeah I PASSED my skills test. Woohooo!!!!! read more

I took the driving skill test here. I took the 1 hour practice driving session first and then the skill test. Steve had a brilliant style of teaching. He would made you practice all the moves you will be asked to make in the driving test. He will tell you things which will be looked at in driving test and made sure that you practice them well enough in the driving lesson. I had some issues of my own doing parallel parking and backing along a curb. The techniques Steve told were very helpful. I passed the test very easily because of the practice i did in the driving lesson. I highly recommend this school read more

Look no further, this is where you want to sign up for driving lessons. The instructors who work here are kind, knowledgeable and professional, and my 15 year old daughter found Megan's classes to be informational and engaging. I used to think driving school was waste of time and money because you could learn on your own, but this school turned that idea upside down. My daughter now knows more than I do about current laws and safety and is teaching me a thing or two! As a parent I enjoyed the ease of signing up for and rescheduling the drive times online. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this: I highly recommend this place! read more

I highly recommend this place. My dad who came from the Philippines took driving lesson and his skills test here. The instructor was amazing. He was very friendly, he was very patient and taught my dad a lot of stuff. read more

Great communication,Best instructors and value for money..ABC driving school you are the best

Over 5 times, I've been rescheduled to times that I can't come in and didn't agree to come in for class, THEN they've called me to ask if the new time is okay. If it's not, I don't get my position on the schedule back; I have to wait two weeks to drive. They won't reschedule a missed class and even though they have potential for a lot of students, they only have 2 instructors. read more

Amazing! I just did my skills test with them and this could not have been better. The structure of the website is great! I scheduled test using the website. The instructor was a sweet since I am learning English and needed someone patient to speak slowly. Thank you guys! read more

I wish I could rate this place zero stars. I am an adult looking to take driving lessons and training and I work full time. For some insane reason, this place chooses to give its weekend and evening hours to teenagers who usually turn out to be the cause of accidents and drunk driving. They're already irresponsible and reckless but why don't we give them a car and a license so they can be even more irresponsible and reckless! Look at other schools before you chose this one and waist your time with them. I called them ONCE to see if they would be flexible and not only were they not, TWO people called me back to tell me that they're evenings and weekends are reserved for teenagers! Good luck with that guys! NOT! I hope you'r teenagers fail! Save your money people and go try other driving schools before you pick this one. I would just as soon try another driving school before I picked this one out of desperation as a last resort. If they call me again, I'm reporting them. read more

I just passed my skill test today! They are very professional and friendly...The best experience I ever had, highly recommended!!!

Finally after renewing my permit, I took the chance of enrolling here at ABC for One hour drive for 6 days.... I must say, it was a great experience, everyone was awesome, they made me feel comfortable behind the wheel...Steve was my instructor for 2 days, he is amazing, clear instructions, gives compliments... then I had Ann for 4 days... she was lovely... And I passed my drive test .. woohooo!!! Thanks everyone... read more

This driving school has been amazing for my daughter. They are locally owned by a Shoreline couple and offer a reasonably priced high quality program for Drivers Education. They have made the experience doable even for a working single mom. I would give them more than five stars if I could! read more

My son recently took a one hour driving lesson and then took the driving skills test. The couple who own and run the business are top notch. My son needed to take the written skills test as well and was able to do it there at the school as well. read more

I just took warm up lesson and skills test with Steve. Steve and Rick were very helpful during the warm up lesson, gave really specific instructions and guidelines to follow. Would recommend everyone to go to this school. Thank you Rick and Steve ! read more

Came here for my driving test instead of the DMV because they work on Saturdays. The owners were very courteous and nice. The pricing is reasonable and more affordable than the other local places. Bookings can be done online and you don't have to pay until you get there. They offer an one hour review session before the actual test and I was worried that they may try to fail me on purpose so that I would pay for the one hour session (I am paranoid...), but that wasn't the case at all. The examiner was fair and seemed like an experienced, friendly instructor if you actually sign up for the class/session. read more

Absolutely the best driving school in Seattle. After an atrocious experience at another school run by retired police officers, we were so pleased to try again with ABC Driving School. Patient instructors, clear instruction, safe location, friendly, well run, great communication, couldn't be better. My daughter is poised and confident behind the wheel and driving like a champ. Great work ABC!!! read more

We shopped a lot of driving schools before selecting ABC Driving School. Most of the other schools were oriented towards large classes of students and were driver factories with not much individualized attention, very structured in course and schedule, not flexible, not especially friendly and surprisingly very expensive. ABC Driving School is a gem; a small friendly family owned business that specializes in individual attention. Meghan and Steven are friendly, helpful and very flexible in working with their students. They have a very good grasp of how to teach a wide range of students from foreign students with little english to teens. They have developed a lot of techniques to individualize lessons so learning becomes easy as new drivers grasp the needed techniques and tricks required to drive in Seattle. Under their instruction, learning to drive was easy and fun. Surprisingly all this individual attention, flexibility and one on one time is less expensive than the larger driving schools, so ABC Driving School is a GREAT value. I highly recommend ABC Driving School! read more

This was a great driving experience . I went in for lessons after I passed the written exam; and I felt at ease and as if the learning was less stressful. I went in beforehand not knowing much and came out confident in my driving . Great driving instructors/teachers, friendly, easy going, and insightful. Their available cars are great cars for learning how to drive as well. They taught me how to drive and thankfully I passed! read more

They know this job!!! I took lesson from Rick and he made me comfortable behind the wheel. And I passed the test. They are professional

I took some private lessons and driving test here, and I must say the instructor here was simply awesome. My instructor was completely focused and patient with me. During the training period he told me multiple tricks be it parallel parking, maneuvers or even handling of steering, which will make my life really easy as a driver. Based on my experience, I would highly recommend this school read more

Friendly and helpful staff. I went in on a Saturday because I work a fulltime job during the week. I was to take only the written test. When I finished the written test. I went outside while they graded my test. The Staff had said that someone had not shown up for there driving test. They had said to me they wanted to make sure the person wasn't going to show. After a few minutes, they asked if I would like to take the driving test today. And the rest is history. I passed both tests in one day. The driving instructer was very nice, and patanant. read more

OK, so I'm 37, never had my license nor have I driven due to a traumatic circumstance in my past. I've been dreading the day I actually have to do it. Just thinking about it gave me panick attacks! I found this place online, and I went in to take the written test. Passed that and signed up for driving courses,....which I was terrified of. Came in for my first course and I met Steve the instructor/ owner. I was so scared and I explained it to him, he was very understanding. He was very calm but direct, Steve is an excellent teacher, I was very impressed! He took me out 3 times, never lost his patience, and explained things very well. After the third course I took the diving test and passed! Steve gave me the confidence and skills set that I needed to feel comfortable on the road,...I'm really happy. His wife Megan is really really nice also, both very professional. Definitely recommend this place! read more

The staff is absolutely wonderful to work with! They go out of their way to accommodate schedules and they are always friendly. I highly recommend this driving school! read more
