I was scheduled to be picked up by ALLIED DRIVING SCHOOL at 2:00pm for my 3:20pm test in Arleta DMV. No one picked me up. I waited until 2:20. I can't miss this driving test. I decided to look for another driving school. Called BEVERLY DRIVING SCHOOL and asked if they can help me out. Harry, the owner, didn't hesitate, asked for my address and picked me up right away! He arrived 2:30-ish. Imagine? A very short notice. Guess what? I passed the test. Thank you so much, Harry!

Just two points off!

Fantastic driving school. Sophia (who I specifically requested after reading the great reviews here) was fantastic. Really quite helpful and patient and friendly. Engaged in good, calming/relaxing chat to keep the nerves at bay. Took three two-hour lessons with her, then had Frank take me for the DMV test. Frank was another patient, experienced, and friendly instructor who really helped me remain calm and confident in the lead up to the test. Passed with only two errors. And all of this for much less money than the competition! Thank you for everything, Sophia and Frank (and the school)!

I passed with a perfect score! This is my 5th time retaking the test. 
 Thank you Beverly Driving School. Thanks to Harry and Ceci!

I found this place online. They had a website with detailed prices and it was the most economic driving school I could find. I already knew how to drive, but have failed the exam 4 times. I am a very anxious driver and older (25 year old) and never had anyone properly teach me how to drive. Therefore I needed the practice for confidence and brushing up bad habits. I decided to give them a call. Their call system seemed a bit unprofessional. They did not answer the first time I called them. Later when they answered, they did not explain how their packages work, which are 2 hour classes at a time. When I was trying to schedule them, they also seemed a bit unorganized. I am being picky about this since they are a business, but these details are not really important for a driving school. I bought the 6 Hour class package, with pick-up and drop-off at your home. They were able to work around my schedule and I was able to book 6PM to 8PM driving classes on a week day. I really like that they text you to confirm and remind you the day before every class. I took classes with Cecilia (Ceci) who was awesome. She is friendly, attentive, and listened to my driving concerns. She was very patient with teaching a few skills that I needed help on including parallel parking, right turns, u-turns, and checking for oncoming traffic. We drove to Glendale together for some our classes because I wanted to get familiar with the area where I was taking my exam. For the test I also booked their car rental service. I was partnered with Harry who was awesome at helping me with last minute brush ups. He was very direct, but gave really good tips and suggestions. He led me along the Glendale driving route, and he was very familiar with everything. He checked that I was doing everything expected by the DMV including looking over shoulders, scanning, and knowing what to do during all road situations (yellow lines, double lines, etc). I ended up passing with 0 mistakes!! Overall they are a very good school! The instructors know what they're doing and seem to be happy to be at their job. I recommend this to anyone who needs some help passing their DMV test.

Great School! I first took lessons with a school in…read moreMontebello which wasn't that great. I failed my test and then decided to switch school: this is when I discovered Allied driving school. I can't remember the name of my instructor (he is from Chile and has a thick accent hehe) but he was incredible, so good at teaching the rules and very very patient... and funny! I just passed today thank to him. A big thank you!!!! Alix

I scheduled a driving lesson, but the instructor never showed up. The school didn't contact me in…read moreadvance to cancel or provide a heads-up. I had already taken time off work for the lesson and waited the entire time, expecting a call or text. It was very disappointing. On the bright side, I hadn't paid in advance, so at least I didn't lose money. You're better off scheduling with a school that is communicative or has multiple instructors who can step in if there are last-minute changes. Since I was never told who my instructor would be or given their contact details, I had no way to reach them to check if they were coming.

I got my driver's license nine years ago and actually passed on my first try, but my skills…read moreatrophied after I moved to the Bay Area for college and work. When I moved back to Southern California and had to relearn how to drive, it was a stressful experience for both me and the family and friends who helped me practice. They were genuinely nervous riding with me at times, and I was especially anxious about lane changes, reversing, and parking. Oxford Driving School was able to fit me in for a same-week lesson despite my full-time work schedule, and the booking process was very smooth. I especially wanted to give my instructor, Chie, a shout-out. She was sweet, kind, encouraging, and very attentive to safety throughout our drive. She gave me clear, honest feedback about what I still needed to improve, particularly with parking, lane changes, speed, and traffic checks, while explaining corrections in a way that was constructive. I also appreciated that she struck a good balance between instruction and independence. She kept a close eye on what I was doing and stepped in when appropriate, but she also gave me opportunities to practice judging traffic gaps and making driving decisions for myself. She was sincerely invested in helping me understand how to reverse and park correctly rather than simply getting through the lesson. And somehow, she was in a great mood on a Saturday morning before 10 AM! As someone who is definitely not a morning person, I consider that a colossal feat. I had a very different experience with a driving school when I was a teenager, so I'm especially grateful for how positive and constructive this lesson was. Thank you, Chie and Oxford Driving School!

I haven't posted a Yelp review in years until now but reading the other reviews I want to share my…read moreexperience having purchased two behind the wheel packages from Melrose Driving School. The first expired, then when my neurodivergent son expressed interest in getting his license I signed up again. The goal of driving didn't happen as planned, so I figured I could use the credit for our younger child. When I reached out to schedule lessons presuming we had a credit, I was rudely told there are NO exceptions etc etc. since I missed the window by a couple months. How truly greedy and unaccommodating to not offer credit to customers who have spent over $1K at your business. Seeing the other reviews here, Melrose would be wise to be more accommodating to earn good will and customer loyalty. Hard pass.

I don't usually post here but some places go so out of their way to disappoint…read more Long story short we bought a package of driving school/lessons. The educational portion was ineffective which really slowed things down. When we were ready to use the pre paid driving lessons they would no longer honor them. They were also pretty rude about it. Instead of investing time into improving customer service and teaching they respond to my Google review accusing me of lying and trying to take down a small business and on and on. Pretty crazy stuff. Anyway I think the other reviews of this place pretty much speak for the self. But take a pass on Melrose driving school. It's really bad.

My teen literally just passed her behind the wheel test this morning! First time trying too!…read moreWe had a fantastic experience with Chase driving school. Not only my daughter's instructor was an accomplished,nice,patient and very knowledgeble, but they went of their way to monitor openings in the appointment schedule of multiple DMV around the area in order to find her an appointment for the driving test quickly and around her schedule. I would highly recommend this driving school for teaching your minor children to drive properly. Overall, a great experience! Thank you!

SERIOUSLY DO NOT GO WITH THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!! At first I saw bad comment on Yelp but I ignored it…read moreand soon I regretted I had lessons with this instructor called Zoren and he teaches REALLY BAD!!! He kept saying little gas, more gas, no gas within the same 5 seconds, giving confusing signals, and blaming me adding gas while my foot was not even on the padel... He never actually looked at what ur doing but just arrogantly thinking he knows you the best. When you asked him what mistake you made and how to fix the problem, he never able to teach u the right way. Instead he'll just say, ' just take more lessons and you'll be better.' YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT BUT I DON'T EXPECT TO LEARN NOTHING AFTER CLASS... and I really hated him kept saying he will bring me to good places around here, I was like 'I don't even care about the tourist spots I just want to learn how to drive. Who cares if the place is rich or no?' Appreciate him took me around but he's gone too over for real. One more thing is when we were on the street, the speed limit was like 35mph but he kept asking me to drive at 20 something... when I speed to around 30+ he'll start judging. But I knew the DMV is gonna fail you if you drive too slow... the fact that when I was having lessons with another driving school, the instructor told me I was driving too slow on a 35 street with just 27-29 speed but this Zoren always say I can't drive fast... I really got pissed by him because he said like he's the only one who knows how to drive in the entire world, really arrogant. The last lesson I told him I am not taking class with him anymore cause I'll change to another teaching school and he just told me I AM NOT GONNA PASS MY TEST CAUSE I DONT DRIVE WELL the fact turned out I passed my test with only three mistakes proves I drive okay even I start from zero. But the credit doesn't go to this driving school at all

I mostly practice with Michelle and she was great at helping me learn for the first time and she was easy to talk too when I needed to get my mind off my anxiety. Definitely come with questions and a good attitude. Daniel was also very friendly and helpful, I recommend both of them. Personally, I did get frustrated driving with Johnson, but he helped my turns and thats all that matters at the end of the day. Ruby was very friendly and was trying to pump me up for the test, I appreciated it. Overall, I'd recommend this school. For first time drivers, Michelle is a great instructor, but so was Daniel and Ruby.
