HANDS DOWN best driving school around!!! Will never go anywhere else. on top of the AMAZING staff…read morethey are very flexible and willing to work with you. The owner will go above and beyond to accommodate your needs. My niece wasn't going to be able to take drivers Ed until the last quarter of her junior year which was over a year out and she was so bummed. We were recommended to Skiles, gave them a call and they explained EVERYTHING answered all of my questions and had her in the next class... she really enjoyed her classes and driving time. Happy to say as of two days ago she is now a LICENSED DRIVER thanks to Skiles. If you are in need of anything when it comes to your drivers license. I HIGHLY recommend SKILES DRIVING SCHOOL IN EAST MOLINE. You will not be disappointed.

Do you want to learn to drive a motorcycle? You can't beat the NIU Motorcycle Safety Project. For…read more$20 plus $3 handling fee, you can hold your spot in a class. After the class is over you can get a refund of the $20 or donate it to the project. If you are more of a risk taker, you can just show up on the Friday of the class, the earlier the better, and see if they have any vacancies and not have to pay at all. The class is great, if not long. 4 hours on Friday, and 10 hours on Saturday and Sunday. Most of that time is riding motorcycles. They provide you with a bike and helmet. All you need are shoes that cover your ankles, long sleeve shirt, eye protection and gloves. Once you complete and pass the class they will mail you a certificate. You take that to the Secretary of State office, and you get your license with out having to take any of the tests. It's that easy. The best thing is that you get to spend two days riding motorcycles. Even if you donate the full fee, think about it. $23 for two days of riding motorcycles. Where else are you going to get two days worth of fun for that price? I'm not going to lie and say that the classroom work is a little boring, but honestly the instructors give you a lot of good information that will come in handy when you do start to ride. The best part is that these classes are located at various locations across the state. I took mine at the local community college. I now own my own motorcycle and ride all the time, but I'm thinking of taking the class again just to get some more experience and training. They also offer more advanced courses too. If you've ever thought of riding a motorcycle, I would highly recommend taking these classes.

So here is my experience with this school. Let me first start by saying the instructors Ari,…read moreRachel, and Vic were so very awsome. These people are amazing with the amount of patience they have and are just really great people. I fully understand they have to teach by the drive 160 handbook and that their hands are tied on some of the things. With that being said now that I have been out in the real world driving for a bit I have a couple of areas that I think should be worked on to help out in the real world.. first is coupling and uncoupling trailers. People that's what this industry does hook and unhook trailers and it's something they don't teach you. Why? Another is that it's great that you drive around an empty truck and trailer that does help in the learning process. However it also changes things quite a bit when you're trying to stop 80,000 pounds. It's something that should be taught.. and now that I've gone through the school I can say that yes I have learned quite a bit thanks to the amazing instructors that work there. I just feel there are other things that can be worked on. Granted they don't have all the time in the world but the limited time they let you drive some should be fully loaded so you're prepared for what's to come..
