1st-rate professionalism. Highly competent teacher. Vehicle is spotless clean, perfectly neat and organized inside. Tremendously supportive and encouraging. Thoroughly, excellent service. Always arrived (at least 5 minutes) before schedule. Spoke at length with incredible details. Gave endless lectures, feedbacks and quizzes. (Completely unexpected from a driving instructor. A pleasant surprise.) Communicated continuously until the end and provided copious study materials. A higher education: The Ivy League school of driver's training. Gold standards. Sharply understood my needs, attentive to my nerves, knew my weaknesses and strengths inside out and pushed me to unlimited progress and confidence. Priceless. Proudly aced the DMV drive test, due to rigorous drills and intellectual comprehensive explanations. Super rewarding and fulfilling. Speechless. Forever grateful for an uncommon dedication to my transportation success. Utmost appreciation. Will always remember Mr. Tran: his straightforward style and caring mannerism. Dressed like a top-lawyer, carried a lovely briefcase full of training modules and spoke gently like a grandfather. Mad respect. (Wish my university professors be like Mr. Tran. Makes life exciting and meaningful.) Thank you for having complete faith in me, all the diligent work put forth and soothing patience: truly a superhuman feat (as most people are unable to handle my driving/test anxieties)! A true superhero! read more

Always great to work with! Very professional, communication is timely and helpful. Prompt and friendly instruction. Easy to work with.

Mr. Tran is a true professional. He was recommended by a good friend of mine who had his 2 daughters and his 2 sons take lessons from Mr. Tran. The kids enjoyed the lessons and highly recommended Absolute Best Driving School. So I decided that when my 2 boys were ready for their lessons, I would go through Mr. Tran. My two sons learned a lot from him and enjoyed his personality. I highly recommend this driving school. read more

Hello! I'm Crystal. I took the teen classes from Mr. Tran when I got my drivers permit, back in 2017. Thanks to Mr. Tran, I ended up passing my test with flying colors! He gave me all the education about how to drive properly, and paperwork for me to study as well truly helped. Now I'm returning to him with my boyfriend who had recently passed his permit test, but had an issue on his first attempt with the behind the wheel test. He didn't know some of the technicalities on the test, causing him to fail. But now after his first lesson with Mr. Tran he already feels confident that he will pass it next time. Still have one more lesson to go, but I can say with confidence that he will pass. read more

Absolute Best Driving School - Absolute BEST driving school is CORRECT!!! - Driving Schools Near Me - Sacramento, California

I called and personally requested Mr. Tran last April 2017 to evaluate my 19-year-old son. He was personally recommended by a close friend and I was very happy with him. Mr. Tran was very courteous, professional, and prompt. He evaluated my son's driving skills and gave him the confidence to pass his driving test the first time, since my son did not take the 600 required driving hours like most kids under 18 has to. I highly recommend Mr. Tran to help your student pass their driving test, the first time . read more

Absolutely the best driving school just as the company name says! Both of my children have now gone to him and we have referred several friends and will continue to forever refer our friends and family! He makes the experience memorable. He really cares about the students and teaches them how to drive confidence. Thank you so much for being a part of something that is not only frightening but also exciting for a mother and helping to ease the anxiety. I will be forever grateful for you. read more

Absolute Best Driving School is definitely not the best! I wish I would have read the reviews before wasting time waiting for Tran to show up to take my daughter for her lesson. He confirmed her appointment and NEVER showed up! No call no show. I would never do business or recommend this company to anyone. Rude and extremely unprofessional. read more

My daughter got her DL but she didn't like him as much as my boys did. I think he is good with boys and not with girls. read more

Great service. I had him teach me driving school in 2006 like 12 years ago. I always call him to ask question about something and he was always there to answer it. I called him few years later and I told him I'm sending customer to him family members and he took care of them I just call him few days ago and he knew me few years after talking to him in 2012 5 years later he still remember my name and all my family members that went to him. With me, he always a call always when I had any questions. I will keep sending him customers He know his customer if it's pass long time ago. I will give him 10 stars if they had it. read more

The only reason why i picked this driving school was because it was the cheapest I could find. So i made an appointment for after school...he never showed up and i was waiting for him for a good couple of hours. then he called and told me that he cant make it so we rescheduled. the second time, he picked me up from my house. it was so sketchy because he has tattoos all over and he wears really weird shirts with demons and skulls and whatnot...im not really a judgmental person so i dont care about his appearance, but he looked very unprofessional. his car was a piece of junk. literally. I was afraid to go in his car. if you have strict parents, there's no way they would let you go with him, because he makes a really bad first impression. So we get in the car, he asked me a couple questions, like "you know how to drive, right?" and i said no because it was my first driving lesson. he kept telling me not to worry about anything and just make sure that i dont hit anyone or any cars. I didnt learn anything from him. after an hour of driving around a really bad neighborhood, he told me to park in the Raley's parking because he needed to use the bathroom. I was honestly really scared. so i kept my phone on me just in case. so he went to the bathroom and came back after 20 minutes. we hopped back in the car and started driving around a little bit more. overall, he made me feel very uncomfortable by making fun of me and saying random things. I laughed along with him because i wasnt sure what he's capable of if i made him mad so i kept calm. he is very uneducated also. if you really want to pay less money for your behind the wheel classes, find some coupons on groupon or amazon. i found one on yelp for bond driving school. read more

I used this driving school for my son and we did not have any problems. he was always on time, very professional and my son passed he's driving test with a 100%. He was very professional and told my son what to except on the driving test and the top 3 reason why he would fail. He's pricing is reasonable and I liked the fact that I did not have to pay for all he's lessons up front.. This is review is from an adult and some teenager as the previous reviews... read more

I don't understand the negative reviews. Hieu was extremely friendly, courteous, responsible, and flexible. He's a bit of a free spirit, and maybe some people prefer someone a little more buttoned-down, but he developed a very good relationship with me, my son, and his mom. We had a bit of a scheduling crisis at the last minute, and Hieu was willing to adjust his schedule and give my son his final lesson just in time to take his behind-the-wheel test, which he passed with flying colors. He came highly recommended and I will recommend him to others. The fact is, my son passed his test the first time, the price was right, and overall it was a pleasant experience. What's not to like? read more

Mr Tran is the best driving instructor i have ever had (Other than my grandfather) he explains everything you need to know is very nice and tells you what will be on the driving test has you practice everything multiple times and is very patient . i did the dmv short program and he helped me to get pass my driving test. This is the only driving school that I will recommend as i have been to others and he is by far the best instructor. read more

Personally I took this school for written and behind the wheel. I never had a problem. I originally took him because my older sister did. And my little sister tool him because I did. And I also recommended my friend to take him and I also had other friends that took him as said he was fine. I had taken him in 2007/2008 one of those years I don't quite remember. He never took bathroom breaks with me personally. He alway arrived on time, and he was easy to reach. Even to this day, I see him time to time. It quite interesting and he remembers me, except he mixes my name up with my sisters or some random name. I personally don't know how he teaches now, but from what I experienced it was fine, and I passed my tests. read more

My 16 year old learned a lot and enjoyed the sessions. I think Mr. Tran has been great and my son is definately driving better.

I don't understand the negative reviews! I have ZERO complaints. Mr. Tran was on time and prepared. He picked up my son for his first lesson and he was professional and seemed like a nice guy. Of course when my son returned from his lesson, I grilled him about every single detail. My son said he was learned a lot and was felt more comfortable behind the wheel. He said Mr. Tran was patient, very easy-going and actually really funny. My son was nervous he would be stuck in awkward silence for two hours. That obviously was not the case. Give this guy a call! read more

Just noticed that most of the reviews are several years old, especially the negative comments. Our recent experience with Mr.Tran and with Absolute Best Driving School was nothing but positive. My daughter just completed her driver's training with Mr. Tran. He really went above and beyond to make sure she was fully prepared to pass her drivers test. Mr. Tran provided appropriate instruction he also provided tips and study guides. I truly appreciate the great service. I highly recommend Mr.Tran. read more

Like everyone said he not really worth it . I had to take his driving lessons because my mom paid for it in 2010 or 09 . He took me around center parkway and near woodbine elementary and back of old albertson now 99ranch market and also like people who said it he stops for bathroom breaks :/ not worth it at all. read more

Mr. Tran is the best. He gave me lots of confidence which made me feel confident in taking my driving test. He is very chill and talks to you about life which was nice because instead of just learning how to drive I Also looked at life in a better way. He was awesome... Like a father figure. read more

If you want the cheapest guy in town use this school, but it's true you get what you pay for! I used mr. Tran and every single time I had an driving appt. I'm waiting and he has the nerve to call me at the last second literally and says gotta reschedule ad always has an excuse! We went 3 times to drive and he rescheduled 6 times. 2 times for each driving appt. Sucks...don't use this school. P.S. He's on the phone texting the entire time you drive! read more

Honestly, Mr. Tran was funny. I signed up for lessons during the summer of 09. Yes he is funny and make a lot of jokes but heres the thing he was unprofessional. It's one thing to make jokes but don't be late. I'm the type of girl who likes to make jokes and make people laugh but being late like 20 minutes late is just not acceptable. One thing also unacceptable is taking long bathroom breaks like wtf. One time it took him 20 minutes wtf. A bathroom break is fine but not 20 minutes that cuts my lesson short. Another lesson after driving around for 20 minutes he took me to the auto shop to check for a car alarm wtf that was not cool. I waited for 20 minutes like wtf. Cool as he is it still pissed me off. Like it's one thing to be chill and funny but it's another thing to waste people's time on the lessons we paid for. Another lesson my last one after driving around for 1 hour he took me to a tattoo place. It took him 30 minutes inside I was pissed. Idc how funny you are but when you can't be professional than I'm not giving you more than 2 stars. don't choose him. He may be chill and relaxed and may feel like driving with a buddy but that's all he is. he lacks professionalism. Trust me one can be funny and be professional at the same time.. He's not worth the money you pay him. 2 stars for personality. Loose the other three for being late and taking time for my lesson I paid for. I recommend ppl not to go to him read more

Mr Tran is an amazing teacher., He was on time and very professional., I am excited to call him for my son's second lesson. Our son was smiling when he came back and Mr Tran went over everything with us when he got back., I highly recommend him. read more

Scheduled three days of behind the wheel training for my son with this business. Today was his first day with Hieu Tran from the school. As my son was on his driving test the driving instructor took it upon himself to remove the last few pages of our DMV paper work. Not a big deal you say? Well...an adult was with my son when he left with the instructor and why wasn't the paper work offer to my sons dad? Why didn't the instructor just suggest to leave those pages at home for the next day? Why didn't he just not worry about what papers my son had with him seeing as it was only a 2 hour class? Nope none of the above happened. I left a message asking for the return of my DMV paper work which included a copy of my receipt for the DMV fees I had paid and various person info. Hieu Tran returned my call to say he could not "find" my paper work and he did not know where it was. So i called him on it. I asked if he had thrown away my papers and he said ...yes. In this day and age of identity theft that was very inappropriate to do. There was an adult present to give the papers to or simply not worry about a trivial thing for an instructor. The decision to keep my paper work was taken away....acutally thrown away in a dumpster god knows where. Maybe I should hope it's in a dumpster and not being used by this company. Hieu Tran's option for me was to recover the paperwork by going to DMV and getting copies. Oh thank you can I please stand in line for hours to fix your mistake. I would reconsider letting your minor child go with this company. Needless to say I have cancelled the next 2 days of behind the wheel training with this company. At least this right was not taken from me. I'm not going to pay $40.00 an hour for someone to steal from me. Hieu Tran I would still like YOU to go get my paper work out of whatever dumpster you supposedly threw it in. read more

We discussed time and location for the behind the wheel training at 12pm. He couldn't show up because he said something came up. I thought it was nothing so we made another appointment for 10am the next day. He never showed up. I even called him and texted him and he still hadn't replied. So unprofessional. read more

wow we made an appointment and he never showed up i would never use this school again and to make it worse he didnt call or text to say anything i will pay more money to ensure my kid has a safe car and a professional courteous instructor. this guy thinks his so called business is a joke i am reporting him to better business bureau as everyone should do@! read more
