Aaliyah from Alfa Driving School gave my daughter four lessons. She showed up at our house on time and taught her how to drive, when my nerves weren't up for it. My daughter is about ready for her test now and is a confident, 17-year-old driver. read more

My driving instructor was amazing; I passed my driving test on my first attempt! The office staff was so friendly and efficient.

I needed to sharpen my skills before taking my road test. I began with a 2-hour lesson with Fernando, and then the road test with Larry. Both were amazing teachers and kind people! I definitely recommend driving with them, you won't regret it! read more

They did a great job of teaching me everything I needed to pass my road test. I am very glad I worked with them as they really reallly helped! read more

I hired the Howell Mill location to prepare my twins for their driving test and take them to the DMV. Alfa provided an email with instructions for all of the DMV required forms and fees. On the day of their DMV appointment, the twins met their driving instructor, Larry Sutton. Mr. Sutton was great! He picked them up from school, gave them a driving lesson, and managed all of the administrative items at the DMV. Mr. Sutton provided me with status updates along the way and really made me feel comfortable. Afterwards he dropped them off at home and we chatted for a few minutes. The twins said although they felt prepared for the DMV test (they had been driving daily for a year), it helped to have someone other than mom and dad practice with them! I would recommend this service to anyone with teens! read more

Alfa driving school is the real deal, I've been driving for 20+ years and I found value in the way that they assist you in gaining your re-gaining license. Not only do they supply you with a vehicle to use, they will pick you up at your job and it feels like you are taking the road test with them, not the state. . I recommend this service. Just do it and get your Ls. Take the W. read more

Larry Sutton was a great driving instructor. He helped me pass my road test with a 100. If you're looking for a good and caring instructor, ask for larry sutton read more

I had such a pleasant experience with my instructor Ms. Elizabeth, who was patient and informative for my 2 hour behind-the-wheel lesson. The car I drove was easy to maneuver in traffic, not too high or too low (Toyota Corolla), and appropriately labeled with 'Student Driver' decals. She even took proper COVID precautions from the beginning; we were both masked, and she did not mind having the windows down a bit for some fresh air to circulate through. Overall, it was a smooth 2 hour lesson and I got exactly what I paid for. read more

Horrible experience! Paid for the class but never received any info from the school. Was several minutes late because I couldn't figure out where to park and received a very rude phone call from Jan Davis yelling at me for being late. I tried to explain to her that I was there but couldn't figure out the parking. The signage for the school is hard to view from the opposite side of Howell mill so I initially passed the school. It would be helpful to receive an email after paying for class that listed the address, parking info, etc. The videos shown in the class need to be updated! I know there has to be other information that could be shared in class. We actually spent time going over the steps for a 16 year old to obtain a drivers license which was simply ridiculous considering everyone in the class was over 16 years old and we all had drivers licenses. As a busy professional and mother I value my time and If I'm going to miss a day from work to take a class I at least want to learn some useful information. I was also very offended by the instructor telling a student in the class that she wouldn't be able to pronounce his name. That is VERY disrespectful! If you see a name you don't know how to pronounce you simply ask the person for the pronunciation. It's that simple. There were lots of interruptions during the class from walk-in customers. You need to have an employee manning the front desk during business hours. read more

They fleece you and don't provide the services as promised. Don't waste your time. Signed up for 10 hours, or five classes, and none of those classes lasted more than 1.5 hours. The material taught was repetitive, and nothing of what would be tested was taught to me. I then signed up for the $180 test package, which included a one hour training prior to the test. That training was never done. Additionally, the receptionist is extremely rude and disrespectful of customers. I was rudely told to "go with another school" if I wanted to. read more

Highly recommend ALFA Driving School! Ms. Elizabeth was excellent. She was so patient with my reluctant driver.

Took a defensive driving course here on a Saturday. Not much to say since the course is state regulated at $75.00 and 6 hours of course instruction. The location is nice since you get a 1 hour lunch break and you have several restaurants to choose from off Howell mill as well as the possibility to do some shopping with a Walmart and Kroger conveniently down the street. The classroom is small and holds around 18 students. There is a vending machine serving some snacks and Pepsi products. Make sure to park in the back or you will have to move your car before class starts. You can sign up for courses by calling the office or online through paypal as well as paying in person when you arrive. Make sure you show up early as well before class starts just in case there is paperwork that needs to be done. read more

I started classes with very little driving experience and I passed my road skills test with a 96 out of 100! I went through 4 instructors which made the classes a little inconsistent. I started with Mr. Vern who was just great! He was very patient and really helped me build my confidence. Unfortunately, he no longer does instructional classes. I then had Mr. Dan. He's a very hands off instructor, so if you like learning through experience rather than being taught he's right for you. I had another instructor in between who is no longer with them. Finally, I had Ms. Mari. She took me to my road skills test. She was again a very patient instructor. She gave me some pointers about the test and I followed them all and passed on my first attempt! I highly recommend asking for her. I would say that all the instructors really focused on making me a good driver and not just making sure I pass the test. Alfa driving school uses the drive scout app which is supposed to make scheduling easy but there were some glitches and I had to keep calling them to schedule my classes. This was kind of inconvenient but the customer service representative was always very courteous and helpful. I hope that this review helps! read more

Thanks Jim Bell & Alfa for everything. I was a non driving person when I joined the school in Jan 2011. With all the help and guidance from Jim Bell i learn how to drive. I was very nervous and scared the first couple weeks. Jim was there to help me along the way. If you are double guessing about becoming a student dont hesitate without yall I wouldn't have my license I am grateful to have someone like Jim to teach me. Yes i failed my test the first time but jim gave me a nice prep talk and I passed second time YAY! read more

I've been meaning to write this review for a long time now (I finished my course back in May 2014) Alfa is excellent. PERIOD. They not only run a business but also genuinely care about how to best teach driving to their students. When I started my 10-hour course I was a really nervous, frightened, fidgety driver with no real practice or even skill. However, 10 driving hours later, I was driving smoothly and comfortably although still a little nervous. I passed my driving test in the first try and did very very well on it! I was really impressed with myself, actually! I am 26 and not a teenager so I had extra years of pent up fear and anxiety and was never really sure I would learn to drive, especially because I have Attention deficit disorder (ADD), but at Alfa, my instructors were very understanding, encouraging, positive and were excellent teachers. Their top instructors (back in March 2014) were Bill and Al (I believe the great Jim Bell is no more - :'( ). They are both equally great in their own right. Bill, an ex-cop, is really chilled out and has a very go-with-the-flow kinda attitude and will give you all the tips and tricks you would need to be a top-class driver. But if you are a really technical person like me who would want to all the hard and fast rules with specific attention to detail, then Al is your guy! Al is to-the-point, straightforward and will give all the details you need to follow to drive like a pro. Alfa's courses are reasonably priced compared to other driving schools. Alfa also has the facility to assist you and provide you with a car (if you don't already have one) for your driving test. Pros: Conveniently located next to DDS at Sandy Springs, cool instructors, decent practice cars, familiarization with possible driving test routes beforehand, reasonably prices (well, think of it as an investment in your future!) Cons: meh, can't think of any! read more

Al was great. I was not at all looking forward to this class and thought it was going to be awful. But Al made it fun and interesting. I was required to do this for court and am so happy that Al was my instructor, as he made it easy and painless, but still very informational. I learned a lot that could save me from future offenses and quite possibly, my life. I would certainly recommend this to a friend. Thanks for the help Al. read more

I took my driving classes in ALFA school and I loved it! My teacher Al was very informative and I learned a lot. I am actually glad that I took this class, it was totally worth it. I highly recommend Alfa school. read more

Helpful lessons helped me obtain my driving license in 3 weeks! Mrs. Tina Jones is a great instructor and I would definitely recommend taking lessons with her. read more

Mr. Vern was an amazing instruction. You will not go wrong with his guidance. Passed the exam with ease with just 6 hours of lessons.

I got my driver's license thanks to this place!! They have a convenient online booking system for classes and although it's hard to get a spot in busy hours, it's not impossible read more

The most horrible instructor ever from this driving school. The instructor Vern constantly kept telling me that I would fail and kept on insisting that I sign up for more classes when I had already signed up for 6hrs plus a 1.5 hr. He made me cancel my exam and then when I re scheduled je kept demotivating saying that I will fail the exam and this was the only thing he ever said. He was so horrible that right before I was going to sit in the car for my test he said "You will fail" and then I failed. And after I came out failed, he did not even have the courtesy to comfort me and he just started lecturing me on how I should take more lessons. His only goal looked like demotivating me. read more

I joined the school as an adult learner hoping to get my license. My instructor was old,forgetful and creepy.He kept reaching over me and then got mad when I told him not to.We didn't do parallel parking until the morning of the test!I complained in writing to the school and no one got back to me. Based on my experience as a middle aged woman;if I was a mum it's not a place I would want my teenage girl to learn. read more

I took six 2 hour sessions of driving lessons with Alfa Driving School,and my instructor was Jim Bell. I haven't written many reviews but I had to come online and write a review about Jim Bell. I would HIGHLY recommend Jim to anyone who's in need of a driving instructor. From my very first lesson he made me feel totally comfortable behind the wheel. One of Jim's many great qualities is that he can really help build your driving confidence. He takes your weak points, and really emphasizes in making them stronger. Jim also makes driving lessons with him very enjoyable. Each lesson is a unique and interesting journey to some of the most interesting places in Atlanta. In just 6 sessions I was completely comfortable driving in any situation, and on any road types including highways. I highly recommend Jim Bell as driving instructor to anyone looking for a driving instructor in Atlanta. read more

Really informative and easy going. Al was awesome. Would definitely recommend to others. Thanks

After searching and calling over 10+ driving schools, I chose Alfa Driving School because of its reviews, cost and customer service. The office staff was great finding a class that fit my schedule. The class was taught by an amazing instructor with real experience and great knowledge of the subject matter. I received a certificate of completion and got my license. Thanks alot Alfa. Highly recommend to others. read more

This class was exactly what I needed! All of my questions about driving with today's mobile technology (GPS, cell phones , texting, etc.), child safety, super speeder laws, HOV/HOT lanes were answered by the school's interesting, humorous and informative instructor. read more
