After many anxiety inducing attempts with other driving schools, I came across this page and decided to reach out to James. He helped me get past my terrible anxiety and has made me a more confident and comfortable driver. Without his help, I probably would be struggling still to get my license. If you need someone who's calm, but still challenges you based off of what best fits your personality, James is the instructor you're looking for.

After finally finding a time that worked around my son's school schedule and doctor's appointment, the owner told me to "try a bigger driving program" instead of helping me schedule. The interaction felt dismissive and unprofessional. Rather than working with a potential customer, it seemed like my business wasn't wanted. Based on my experience, I would not recommend booking with this company.

The instructors were very patient with her as she learned the car and rules of the road. It's very important to find a trustworthy driving academy. From purchasing the sessions, to scheduling the sessions, and to scheduling the CA DMV test, it was such an easy process. Our daughter really felt at ease and comfortable with instructors Catherine Steveley and Dan Younger. They really understand how to instruct/connect with a new youth driver. Thank you! Today, our daughter took her CA DMV driver's test and SHE PASSED THE TEST!!! Thank you to everyone at VDA!!! We will go through VDA when our son is eligible.

When Bob came to our house for my son's first lesson he was kind and knowledgeable, letting us know what to expect. My son had a great experience and at the end Bob spoke with us and gave us things to work on with him. All three lessons were amazing, he even gave us tips and tricks for the test and suggested which DMV to go to. Our son passed with flying colors and has a great driving record (he has been driving for 3 years). I am writing this a few years later because we moved away from Irvine and had to find another company for our daughter. Her experience was not as good and we did not feel that she was ready to be driving on her own even after that company signed off on it. I immediately called Varsity and they found her a time to work with Bob and we drove down to Irvine for it. In just two hours he taught her so much, he went through everything and corrected her previous instruction. She is a much more confident and safer driver because of him. She passed her test two days after the lesson. Thank you Varsity and Bob!

Over the…read morepast few years, I'd spot TRTS vehicles out in the wild, and always thought it was cool that they were utilizing Mustangs, Model 3s, and Bronco Sport vehicles rather than more pedestrian entry-level sedans. As the father to a car-crazy teenager, when it came time for my son to begin his behind-the-wheel training, TRTS was the only solution we considered. Each two-hour lesson with Steven Unland and Jim Sewell was thorough and my son enjoyed conversing with Steven and Jim as he drove. At the end of each lesson, I was given a session review sheet containing the things they covered during the driving lesson and feedback for any areas that my son needed to work on before the next lesson. Thanks to the training that TRTS provided, my son confidently and effortlessly passed his CA DMV behind-the-wheel driving test with only a one point deduction.
