My instructor Lisa Mikelat was an amazing driving instructor--patient, calm, and very knowledgeable. She explained everything clearly and took the time to make sure I understood each step, and not just what to do, but why it mattered. I felt well-prepared, confident and comfortable during every lesson. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and would highly recommend her to anyone learning how to drive. read more

I had Rachelle and I have never driven on the roads before and I was going into this thinking my instructor would be nothing but nice and patient, but she was snappy, rude, and was silent the whole ride, even took 2 phone calls while we were driving. This is nothing bad about cantors driving school just the instructors read more

Stephanie took my daughter out for all of her drives, from the beginning local trips through the freeway and central city ones. She was absolutely wonderful and saved me from the anxiety of having to brave I-10 with a brand new 16 year old driver. Much thanks to Stephanie, we will see you when our 14 year old hits the road! read more

As a parent you do your research for a "driving school" to teach your teenager how to drive. Here is my experience. The driver came out to my home to pick my daughter up and drove her 45 minutes away to a site to teach her the "basics" and the driver drove her back (another 45 minutes). Mind you I'm paying for 2.5 hours. Her total time of driving was 25 min in a parking lot. I reached out, not a very happy parent to express concern, only to be told repeatedly "the instructor might have felt she wasn't ready and drove her to a site so she can practice." Again...45 min away instead of local parking lots at parks? I made the comment maybe she should change instructors, I was told to go online. So I did, I ended up calling the number to get help, and I didn't like the answers of the lady i was speaking too. She said she talked to the owner of the company and he sides with her. I asked if he can call me back in 24 hours, because the circle game is getting boring. Mind you I've been emailing for a few days, with the same response, and nothing is getting resolved. Honestly everyone...when the owner of a company answers the phone and says "Your gonna let me talk first." It's game over. I kept my tone, his raised, infact his yelling was so excessive I didn't have to put him on speaker, my co workers could hear the screaming. I told him how social media will love this review. Also told him to not speak to me that way, he came off EXTREMELY defensive and again, he screamed something (at this point my co-workers are questioning HIS behavior. After we hung up he started to text me! Um hello, why? Which already "said owner" is in the wrong. He crossed a line, acted completely unprofessional, harrassed me after our phone conversation texts. Also threatened me that any negative comments on social media he will get a lawyer involved. But its ok for him to tell me that im a bad mom? He doesn't want his name smeared (maybe act a little more professional?) So no, I definitely don't recommend this company to help your child. Go somewhere else. P.s. I knew about the policy, and never once asked for a refund. Why he felt the need to aggressively text me, 13 texts in a 2 min span? Go somewhere else, our kids will thank us. And for those who are considering..please review the Better Business Bureau website. You would think the owner of a business would rather resolve a simple situation instead of acting like a man child. What business owner would make threats about contacting Child Protection Services to have a child removed, BLOCKING an upset customer or to threaten to call the local police for a "wellness check." Because the owner is still unaware how to resolve issues. I welcome all to review the 1 and 2 star reviews, because there is a reason for those reviews. And please take note, on how he answers those complaints. Remember...paper trails are priceless! read more

My son just completed Cantor's Driving School with Ms. Kathleen H. I am very happy that we enrolled him in this program. Ms. Kathleen H. is an excellent instructor. He was eager to tell me the adventures that they went on and what he learned during class (UCLA). Thank you very Ms. Kathleen H. for a lifetime of knowledge. read more

See all

We had Stephanie as our instructor - my son was really quite nervous about learning to drive, and she was just fantastic with him. He felt confident, comfortable, learned so much, and came away from each session feeling proud of himself and at ease. A great experience all around, thank you Stephanie!! read more

Really glad I signed up our first teenage driver with Cantor's driving school. Melissa Winters was such a great instructor. Her patience and kindness were much appreciated throughout the entire course. Will definitely request Melissa for our next driver in the near future. read more

Bought driving classes for my son for a Christmas gift, we just didn't have the time to teach him as we were extremely busy with work. Etc. My son was extremely nervous, his instructor was Jannet he stated she was very informative and took great time to teach him. He just got his certificate to get his license last week he's super excited! Canters offered the best price than everyone in the valley they even picked him up from home and dropped him off when done I thought that was cool! Thank you! A++++ read more

A wonderful company for both those that have no driving experience and those who may just want to brush up on a few things. My experience with the AZ office was amazing, the instructors that I got to interact with are very kind and professional. My instructor was Stephanie Burdick and I would absolutely recommend selecting her as your instructor. She has a comforting presence and keen sense of judgement. Stephanie is accurately able to assess your comfortability and skill behind the wheel, and she fosters a learning environment that will leave you feeling confident and educated. Her background makes her an exceptional instructor and every interaction with her is pleasant. Stephanie is a wonderful person and I got my license with her help with no issue! read more

Like anything in life as it relates to business your experience will be based on the employee you interact with. Unfortunately for us the driving instructor my daughter had wasn't a good match for her. So this review is based on her experience with Rachelle Warring. I've seen other Cantors reviews mention driving instructors that they highly recommend so our review isn't really a reflection of Cantors business as a whole. Throughout her behind the wheel lessons I instructed my daughter to keep notes on her experience & this is what she had to say: -continuously turning up the radio when I purposely turned it down to focus -being indirect with answers when I asked a question -Having a nonchalant attitude and tone when we were driving, getting snappy fast, having moments when she snatched the wheel -waiting until we're up on a sign to instruct me on it instead of telling me while we are a little ways behind -being silent for majority of our rides! I felt as if I didn't learn anything, and I had to piece things together as we went, there was no direct instruction throughout the courses Before booking with Cantors my daughter already had a little experience operating a motor vehicle. Our reason for putting her in driving school was for her to learn the laws of the road, that didn't happen. She did pass her driving test in the end but Rachelle expressed that she didn't feel she was ready to drive. To me that is also a reflection of her teaching. We do feel like we wasted almost $700. Thankfully she is driving fine & out & about on her own. read more

I'm 25 and have had severe driving anxiety my whole life. I decided to do lessons instead of just trying my best on my own. Stephanie was my instructor and she made driving so easy. She gave clear instructions and was not critical at all. After my first lesson it quickly felt like just driving around with my friend. She went out of her way to make sure I passed my drivers test in a time crunch. I feel confident in my driving and my anxiety is virtually non existent. Stephanie was not only my instructor, but my friend. If you want helpful lessons to become the most confident driver you can, choose Cantor. read more

Cantor did a great job helping my teen learn to drive and gain confidence in her driving ability. Very convenient service. Highly recommend. read more

Again... lies! The response is ludacris. Also , there was no mention of calls being recorded & monitored...which must be stated at beginning of call. I must be crazy because I did in fact speak to some rude woman the day I called. She yelled at me and repeatedly said I didn't communicate with the owner. Stay away from this place. Unprofessional and no manners or class. read more

I was on Rt 51 a couple of days ago and a white car with Cantor's Driving School logos on it careened across 4 lanes from left to right and just missed side-swiping the whole left side and left front of my car by no more than two inches, in order to exit on the right side of the highway. If this is how your employees drive they should have their licenses revoked and not be teaching driving to anybody. read more

Just finished my 10-hours behind-the-wheel training with Kathleen H. I got my license from another driving school more than a year ago and never driven after that. I didn't learn much from my previous instructor as I didn't even know how to park the day I "passed" my road test. Kathleen helped me re-learn how to drive and I definitely feel a lot more confident driving alone. Lessons were well planned. She gave clear instructions and answers to all my questions. I highly recommend this driving school. read more

My teaching instructor was Damon W. He was PHENOMENAL. I am a 21 year old female with anxious parents that would not teach me how to drive. I signed up for the Green Light Package and have to say that it was fully worth it. I sat for the first time in the driver's seat super nervous to even be on the road and after being in the car for 4 sessions with Damon, my confidence has greatly increased in addition to FINALLY being licensed to drive in AZ! Damon was always very positive and calming but most importantly he believed in my ability to drive us safely on the road before I could. If you are looking into a driving school for youth or for those that are anxious to get behind the wheel: go for Cantor's! read more

Honestly this service is beyond incredible. Claudia is an outstanding instructor: she is so very friendly, helpful and direct. She makes driving easy and manageable and gives substantial tips that you wouldn't think of while driving. She was overall just incredible and helpful and like I said, so very friendly, funny and outgoing! She makes sure you are OK and has a very caring attitude. However, she is direct when she needs to be with important factors which is soo important! They teach magnificent skills and if it wasn't for them I wouldn't have the self-confidence and assurance when driving. Thank you guys so much! read more

I had Rachelle as an instructor and she is AMAZING! I actually had taken 2 other driving schools in the past but still felt kind of iffy about driving, but with Rachelle's help I actually felt confident enough to try the road test. I ended up passing my road test, and that's all thanks to my amazing instructor read more

The go to! I had Kris as my driving instructor and I couldn't have asked for anyone better. She was very patient with me and pushed me out of my comfort zone in a good teaching way. She was very kind and friendly and we spoke like if we known each other for years. The whole process was simple to pay and schedule. She was on time everyday. Showed me good tips and cool stuff! I appreciate you Kristina thanks for teaching me how to drive. read more

Scott Walker did an amazing job teaching my children to drive! Both of them suffer anxiety and Scott was able to keep them relaxed while driving. I highly recommend him! read more

Took classes with Boyd over a year ago. He was very friendly and helped me gain confidence in my self. I never thought I would be able to drive until I learned from Cantor's. read more

Did a great job helping my son. They picked him up at his school which is 40 minutes away from our home. They drove with him to our home (along with other practice). This was such a nice thing for us because we are most anxious about him driving to and from school and so this started getting him comfortable. Thank you Monty and Cantor's. read more

I'm glad I chose this school to learn how to drive. They are all so nice & comforting. I am 21 years old, only drove once before taking classes. Shoutout to my instructor William, who was able to get me comfortable with the rode immediately. Investing in a good school is a must if you are just starting to learn how to drive. Highly recommend this school!! read more

Best ever Brandon and richelle are the best teachers I ever had :) please get them if you can they won't steer you wrong . Thank you for helping me and much love read more

My son did driving lessons with Claudia and it wasn't a good experience for anyone I'm sure. First off, she came two times out of three early. Not at the agreed time. If I'm to respect your time please respect ours as well and come at the time you agreed to. My son described her as being inpatient on the road, and easily frustrated with him. He's not an experienced driver, thus why I'm PAYING you to teach him. He has yet to take his final evaluation and I'll be asking for someone else for that one. I wouldn't say I have anything negative to say about the company, we just didn't have a good experience with Claudia. read more

We purchased the extra mile package for our teenager daughter to help build her confidence and driving skills. Brandon was her instructor, and he was amazing. He is an excellent teacher, and put her at ease right away. Her driving skills came along nicely, and she was ready for the driving test quicker than expected. More importantly, Brandon helped build her confidence behind the wheel. We are very happy we chose Cantor's, and glad we got the opportunity to have Brandon as her instructor. read more

Ok so I was scared at first spending my money at a driving school, being that it was a new experience of course. But my instructor Claudia was amazing, and she made me feel so comfortable and confident when it came to actually driving. I drove prior to my classes but I was not as confident with being behind the wheel until she taught me, she cracked my shell right open and helped me grow so much, I'm proud to say I am now licensed thanks to her, hands down she's a wonderful teacher I 100% recommend her! read more

Cantor's Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

This review is a must!! I am 24, never drove before, did not feel confident behind the wheel...AT ALL!! My instructor was Claudia and let me tell you!! She is just THE BEST! I purchased the green light package which consists of 10 hours of driving, road test included. From day one she made it seem so easy...she is so patient, calm, explains as many times you need until you get what you need done! I've never been on the streets before and she deposited so much trust in me that I completed day one anxious for day two! Day two I was feeling more comfortable driving, we did some parking, showed me some cool pointers to parallel park, did our 2.5 hours and I was already feeling confident that day! day three and four I felt like i've been driving for a while..I swear!! Claudia helped me so much and she doesn't just sit there telling you where to go, she explains what to look out for, what to pay attention to, she sets a plan for what you need to practice on and I couldn't be more happier to have her as my instructor. I passed my test and got my license the same day. Thank you so much Claudia and Cantors driving school for helping me conquer something that I was in fear of! read more

What a great driving school! Cantor's provided great service; a clean, safe vehicle; and excellent instruction. We highly recommend Kathleen M. She patiently taught our 16-yr-old the fundamentals she needed to feel confident behind the wheel. This program is so worth it! read more

Used this school twice once for lessons a package deal, and the second time they came and picked my dtr up for her test. Experience was very good and and helped me avoid the situation which made me wake to anxious. Hoping they have a stick shift class(Frank??) as we are venturing into a manual transmission car. read more

I'm so happy I did this. I'm 16 and starting this I was really afraid for two reasons. One what if I mess up while driving and people get hurt. Two I was getting in a car with a complete stranger. After my first lesson I felt relieved and didn't have to worry. The car had a break on the instructors side to make sure no one got hurt and my instructor Monty was soo easy to get along with. He kept very calm with me and helped me learn a lot. I had lots of questions about what to do and he always answered them. This was seriously the best decision to learn how to drive. I recommend it to everyone and I recommend Monty as an instructor. You won't be let down. read more

It's a good driving class, but I was expecting more out of it...like an extra class where they can teach you the laws... you don't get that here. Monty the instructor is a good guy but to me he's not a good driving instructor that will make you feel safe and confident. If you do things wrong he'll kinda freak out and make you feel very uncomfortable. I'm not trying to put a bad review here, maybe the other ones are better idk. But I'm just giving my point of view and what I felt taking this "green light driving package" read more

I've never personally used this company however when one of their driving instructors was driving erratically (speeding, tailgating, weaving in and out of traffic, no blinker Etc) I reached out to them via Facebook messenger about their instructor driving un-safely so they were aware that that kid of driving can hurt someone and also looms bad for their company, they came back and assumed I was on my phone while driving (I was passenger and it's obvious in the video I sent them of their company car I was referring to) and told me I was now being unsafe then telling me I'm a bully and that I'm teaching my kids to be a bully (he could hear them talking in the video from the back seat). VERY unprofessional and not how that should have been handled. This company is not whom I would ever go with based off of that conversation. I have the whole conversation documented if the owner would like it but they need to set a safe driving example if they intend to get business. read more

My daughter has been trying to work on getting her license for THREE years. After two other schools couldn't help her get it done, Cantor's Driving School instilled the missing link...confidence...within my daughter and she is thrilled and so are we! Lots of tears and frustration were had, but not with Cantor. Damon was professional and caring. He also used his great sense of humor to de-stress any situation. Thank you all for believing in my kid! We HIGHLY, HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend Cantor's Driving School for your teen or any aged driver. read more

I had Kathleen Hardison and my experience was great! I gained the confidence and skill I needed in Cantor's 6 hour lessons and I passed my road test and got my license on my first try!! read more

So beyond grateful for my instructor Stephanie and the overall experience that was Cantor's Driving School. I did the four day lessons where I became more comfortable and bettered my driving skills. Stephanie was great in reassuring me and letting me know the rules of the road (what to do, what not to do etc.) Highly recommend doing this as it will increase your confidence as a driver. Stephanie really made the lessons great with her funny and awesome personality. I'm so glad that I decided to do this and now I'm officially licensed! Thank you Stephanie! read more

I am glad that I chose Cantor's Driving school for my driving lessons. They have a flexible schedule and offer weekend classes which worked out for me. My instructor Boyd was real nice to work with, he was patient and taught me the tips for better driving. With his valuable guidance I got my license. I would definitely recommend Cantor's and Boyd to anyone who needs driving lessons. read more

This service was amazing. My grandmother signed me up for this and I got my certification in a week! I don't particularly remember my instructors name but he was a nice man who helped me learn and grow my driving skills. 10/10 Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs professional instruction and if I live here when I'm older I will definitely use this for my own kids (Having someone other than your parents teach you removes a lot of the stress associated with driving) read more

We purchased the Green Light Package for our 17 year old son and it was well worth it! His instructor was Kathleen and she was great. Would highly recommend Cantor Driving School and Kathleen. read more

The Driving school helped me out a lot, had little experience in driving and within 4 sessions I have felt more confidence within myself and my driving skills. Thank you William for having confidence in me through out the course and giving me the skills I needed to pass. read more
