    Just a quick update to our original 5-star review to ADD another 5-star review!! Our younger son…read morejust passed his behind the wheel test at Clairemont DMV with ZERO errors/deductions. He said that Rainier trained and prepared him well. His final lesson was 2 weeks ago, and they did a few routes of "mock testing" at the DMV on a Sunday when the DMV was closed. My first son had Eric as an instructor, and my second son had Rainier. We have had an excellent experience all around with Driving Eric Crazy and recommend them to all our friends who are looking for a referral. We are thrilled with the results and can confidently say that our older son (now 18 years old) is a fantastic and safe driver -- in fact, the ongoing chatter in his friend group is that he's by far the best driver of all his other teenage friends! Do yourself a favor and call Josie and schedule Driving Eric Crazy for your son or daughter!! You can't put a price on a safe, confident new driver.

    I'm so grateful we found Mikayla at **Driving Eric Crazy**…read more Our daughter was extremely nervous for her behind-the-wheel driver's exam, and in general she's not a great test taker -- but Mikayla completely changed the experience for her. Mikayla was able to meet with her the morning of the test for a two-hour lesson, and it made all the difference. She helped our daughter feel calm, confident, and truly prepared. What really stood out was how Mikayla coached her through the route the DMV personnel would take her on, which helped take away so much of the uncertainty and anxiety. They took the route several times to get her comfortable and familiar with changing traffic activity. By the time the lesson was over, our daughter felt comfortable and ready -- and she passed! Mikayla was also punctual and professional. And honestly, I think her youth helped her connect with our daughter in a way that made her feel more at ease right away. Her approach is patient, supportive, and confidence-building. If you have an anxious or shy teen (or any teen who needs a calm, encouraging instructor before their test), I highly recommend Mikayla.

    This review is posted very late but is well deserved. My son got his permit in March 2020 right…read morebefore the world shut down. He was able to get his first 2 sessions in before the pandemic hit. The program is setup for your 3rd session to prepare you for the road test. But once the pandemic set in, he couldn't get an appointment for his dmv road test. Laura was kind enough to extend the last session for a period of time closer to his road test. (You have a limited time to complete all 3 sessions if you pay for the 3 session/6 hour deal). Laura was reasonably flexible, on time, and prepared my son for his road test. It was the best value I could find. She came to our house in Eastlake and picked him up in clean and safe sedan. Communication was simple and clear. No miscommunications. Laura did a great job prepping my son to drive. Needless to say, he passed his test with no issues. I recommend national city driving school to anyone looking for a legitimate learning experience, with a professional teacher, at a great value. Shop around and you will see the value in what they offer. Take the complete package, it's worth the initial investment.

    Affordable price especially when you have 2 teenagers that needed to have their behind the wheel…read moredone. I called multiple places and this one seemed to be the most affordable one. It was easy communication to set everything up and she would come and pick them up at the door. She didn't honk at them in our driveway, but instead got out which I thought was awesome! From the boys perspective, she was very through with them while driving and they learned a lot from her. We already had 1 kid do their behind the wheel test and passed and the next one is in April. Only thing I didn't like was just the last minute cancels or rescheduling but I know life is hard but overall totally recommend it and will be using them again in a year or so again for the next teen in the house.

    My young adult son had 3 lessons with Mayela last June. It was his very first experience driving…read moreand having a certified instructor for those first lessons helped build his confidence driving. He passed his driving test last September, so thank you! Will use your services again when my other son is ready for his first driving lessons.

    A relative of mines paid $549 for six hours of lessons over three days…read more I want to start off with the negatives: The experience will be very hit or miss across lessons. Your experience will depend on which instructor was assigned to you. My relative had two different instructors, very different from each other. Soleiman had a nice modern car, but his heart was not in teaching the driver but more of criticizing him all the time. His attitude, I've been told, was as if this job was a side gig to him. Not passionate about teaching, and seems to not be passionate about driving in general. My relative then switched instructors to Mayela. Mayela's car was a tad outdated and kinda dirty on the inside. The good: Business owner Dee, I've been told, is a lovely woman to have a chat with. She is certainly someone who is passionate about teaching, and I'm certain most of her employees are the same. Mayela definitely was someone who shares the passion as well. Kind, patient, understanding. TLDR: Don't waste your time and money on taking driving classes with Soleiman.

He was originally scheduled to test at San Ysidro but due to a scheduling issue we ended up testing at another DMV, and he passed without many points deducted. Thanks to the team at Driving School for You, I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable school that gets the job done!

    I can't help but feel a bit cheated even when his price is a lot cheaper than what other driving…read moreinstructors charge. First of all, Brian spends a lot of the time talking, roughly an hour 40 just talking. Keep in mind each session is only 2 hours long. Sometimes he gives actual good tips, but most of the time he's blabbering about religion or he brings up some story he's already told me from the previous lesson (something about a student of his getting a heart transplant) or he brags about how the DMV testers are upset that his students are so "well-informed". Then we get to drive for maybe a couple of minutes before pulling over and he begins to yap again, afterwards he tells you to drive home, yaps a bit more, then schedules your next session. He expects you to practice in between each session which is completely FINE and understandable, but what kind of driving lesson only has you drive 5-10 minutes at the most, while also regurgitating information you already learned from the previous lesson? He's all about getting you ready for the driving test, nothing about driving on the freeway or anything else. But again, with 5-10 minutes behind the wheel, you're not getting your moneys worth or the prep you need for the test. You're essentially paying this chode to talk your ear off. Save your money or find an instructor who will give you the time you need behind the wheel.
