    Perfect score for driving test
    Bryan C.

    I'm an adult driver, my first time being on the road was in my mid 20s. From starting out nervous, insecure, and overwhelmed on the road, I passed my driving test with a flawless 0 errors with the help of Derek! I couldn't practice at home and I wanted to sharpen up my skills as much as possible, so I bought two intermediate packages (36 hours). The sign up and payment process with Carly is easy! I just gave a call, was texted dates and times of my appointments, and the driving instructor would arrive. Derek is straightforward! If there's room for improvement or you make an error, he'll tell it as it is. He'll try to understand your thought process of why you made the error, and then give clear instructions on the proper approach and what to do next time. This really helped me improve and grow after each lesson! If you're an adult driver that is anxious about the road and self-conscious of their own skills, I highly recommend ADVAN Driving School!

    Instructor Mr Derick was referred to me by neighbors who used Advan for 4 drivers. The day was serious and direct. All the instructions were provided clearly, he gave reasons what the options were and why some were better than others, he filled the time by pushing education and driving. I'd say the responsibility was to make me proficient in a limited time so he gave it all, allowed questions, and questioned me. Although at times the instructors pace was constant, he provided more than the right amount of encouragement. Thanks.

    Driving results! I passed with just one error!

    Derek was really helpful and pushed me to be my best in such a short time. With just a month before my permit expired, Derek put me in difficult driving situations so that I could improve rapidly. You can't rely on just him however, you do need to practice on your own. Derek showed me how to drive the best I could, when I had practically no on the road driving experience. So I have to thank him for being able to teach me become nearly flawless in a few lessons.

    My Evaluation Test Result/Score

    To be completely honest, I had NO experience with driving, AT ALL. I was completely clueless, with no knowledge on driving, traffic lights, intersections, turning, etc. All I had was my permit (I'm under 18). I'm extremely grateful to the instructor for being so patient with me despite me doing some crazy turns and stuff. It was super easy to schedule appointments as well so communication was not a problem. It was so nerve wrecking when we got to the DMV but my instructor was very supportive and took me to drive around the streets for practice right before taking the actual test. I'm so thankful for the instructor and I definitely recommend getting a driving teacher from ADVAN Driving School.

    I'm really nervous behind the wheel and I've been hit by cars before. This driving school helped me immensely on improving as a driver, being less nervous behind the wheel and having only 2 mistakes on the behind the wheel test! I highly recommend this school if you want to do well, Derek is kind yet stern, he will let you know exactly what you need to improve on.

    Dereck and Carly are amazing!! I passed my driving exam today with missing only 5 points. Dereck is a very detailed and stern, but will also teach you to be a safe driver outside of just the DMV. He taught me many helpful tips and tricks that I can use from here on out. I highly recommend Dereck to be your driving instructor. He will help you get over your fear of driving and make you a confident, assured driver! :)

    Great place! They…read moregive you a 1 hour drive around the actual course that you will take for your driving test. Overall super happy. Passed on my first time. They made it very easy. It's been a few months since I got my license I believe my instructor was Edward! He was super helpful in giving practical tips for passing the freaking test.

    Unprofessional, Disorganized, and Completely Unaccountable…read more This company is an absolute disaster. I had a very important DMV appointment, and their office somehow failed to log it altogether -- even though they had no problem taking my payment right away. When I called to confirm the appointment, I was told there was no record of it. Instead of owning up to their mistake, Kenya gave me attitude and offered nothing useful except to "reschedule." The issue was entirely on their end, yet she acted like she was doing me a favor. I asked to speak to Edward, the so-called manager, and of course, he couldn't be bothered to talk to me. He had his secretary handle it instead -- who clearly had no authority and offered a bunch of useless, unacceptable suggestions that didn't help at all. I eventually had to resolve the situation myself -- something they should have handled from the start. Luckily, there happened to be another driver at the DMV at the time, or I would've been completely out of luck. This entire operation is unprofessional from top to bottom. They lack communication, accountability, and basic customer service skills. Kenya was rude, Edward hid behind his staff, and nobody took responsibility for their own mistake. If your appointment actually matters, do NOT trust this business. They will take your money, mess up your schedule, and then blame you for their incompetence. I honestly have no idea how they're still in business. If I could put zero stars I would.
