    Passing Drivers Test
    Daniele P.

    My son purchased a 3 day driving packet with Ruth. I was hesitant about letting my son drive even with his permit but the instructors give you and your kids the confidence they need to drive. Ruth was knowledgeable even with the routes that were going to be used for the actual dmv test. On the second day of driving lessons my son opted to purchase the dmv test with City Driving School. They let my son use the car that was used (during training) to take the test. Today my son took the test and he passed. Thank you Ruth and Eddie. My stepson also used City Driving School to pass his test too. We'll definitely be using them for our other children.

    My son today 4/28/23 City driving school/Edward are  amazing. Purchased the 6 hour drivers training/DMV extra. Recommend

    My daughter got her driver's license - 9/10/2020

    I purchased a Groupon last year for my daughter to complete the online course needed in order to take her driver's permit test. She completed the online course, took the driver's permit test and passed on the 2nd try. I proceeded to pay for the 6hr driving course ($300) which were broken down 3 days / 2 hours. They also offer a flexible payment plan which makes its easier on your pocket. Ruth assisted me from the moment we walked in the door up until scheduling the behind the wheel test appointment at the DMV. Due to the whole pandemic, my daughter had to wait to complete the last class; however, her instructor Marvin and Edgar were extremely professional. They gave her pointers and helped her prepare for the big day! The day is here: 9/10/2020! We arrived at DMV Bell Gardens, checked in, and waited for the DMV employee. Our appointment was at 8am. My daughter was the 1st one. The DMV employee came and off my daughter went!! 15 minutes later went by, she pulls into the parking lot, parks the car, gets pointers on what she needed to improve, exited the car, gave me a thumbs up, and just like that WE HAVE A NEW DRIVER ON THE ROAD!!! Thank you Marvin, Edgar, and Ruth for your professionalism, great customer service, and patience!!! Definitely recommending friends and family to City Driving School!

    Today I passed my drivers test finally! Thanks to the help of City Driving School! I took lessons with Edgar, Marvin, and Edward -- they all helped me overcome my fear of driving and helped me boost my confidence to become a better driver. I especially want to thank Edgar who really tailored his teaching to my driving learning style and was super patient with me. It took me a LOOONGG time to get my license. I was too afraid and didn't like to practice driving with family members because they didn't have the patience to deal with my overwhelming driving anxiety. For a long time I thought I would NEVER get my driver's license. I got caught up in a cycle of YEARS of getting my permit, letting it expire and never taking the driver's test out fear. I went to 3 different driving schools before choosing City Driving. While all the others helped me, City Driving was definitely THE BEST of the bunch. They really helped me ease my nerves, had the patience and BELIEVED in me. It definitely translated into an improvement of my driving skills. If you want patient and excellent driving instructors, City Driving is the way to go. I highly recommend them if you are like I was: feel stuck and feel your nerves get the best of you while driving. If I can do it, you can do it too. I am really grateful to them because I thought I never would. Sometimes you just need the right team on your side. And for me that was City Driving School. Don't wait, book your lessons with them now!

    I just passed my test today!!! Thank you so much to my instructors, ronald and esperanza!!! And millie by supporting me all the way to my BTW test. This driving school is so great and flexie. I would definitely recommend this to my friends who need to learn how to drive. God bless you to the whole team!!

    Im 32 and I finally conquered my fear of driving. The whole team was kind,patient,informative, and by my 3rd class I felt I was driving with a friend. They are a great resource in our community and I plan to gift some lessons to my cousin later on in the year to get him started. I never write Yelp reviews but I wanted to make sure they get highlighted and the praise they deserve. If you are looking for a sign if you should go with the best-look no further here it is!
