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.

My daughter and I had the best experience with Instructor Bob…read more He was super flexible and responsive to scheduling the first session. We were in a bit of a rush because my daughter had her driving test scheduled in two weeks. He was so accommodating to our busy schedule and we were able to fit all the sessions in prior to her test. He was very responsive and communicative throughout the entire experience. He would send reminder texts, let us know when he arrived, and be responsive to my questions. My daughter truly enjoyed her driving time with him too. She said he was very instructive and taught her certain things that she hadn't heard before like how to merge into a freeway, and the best way to parallel park. I highly, highly recommend Driving Instructor Bob! Especially since I've used another company that was not nearly as good.

One thing I really appreciated was how they tailored each lesson to my pace. I never felt rushed or overwhelmed. My instructor gave clear, constructive feedback after every session, which helped me improve quickly without ever feeling discouraged. You can tell they really care about their students' success, not just checking boxes. I passed my behind-the-wheel test on my first try and I can say it is because of this driving school!

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.

BEWARE!!! DO NOT DO BUSINESS HERE I will NOT recommend this driving school to anyone. The owner…read moreand instructor are both extremely unprofessional and rude. From the start, communication was terrible -- calls and texts went unanswered, lessons were rescheduled last minute, and they acted like my time didn't matter at all. The instructor was impatient, dismissive, and spent more time criticizing than actually teaching. Instead of explaining mistakes calmly, they made sarcastic comments and created a stressful environment that made it harder to learn. That's the exact opposite of what a new driver needs. The owner wasn't any better -- defensive, disrespectful, and unwilling to take responsibility for anything. Customer service is basically nonexistent. Once they have your money, they stop caring. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else. There are plenty of driving schools that actually value their students and know how to teach professionally.

This one seemed good then I had trouble signing in it was probably user error and it was late in the evening, so I called the phone number in the website and a very polite young woman answered She was very polite and what is more she helped me get signed on and told me I could call back if needed This is impressive these days you can't even get a human to answer the phone Well, I got everything in just by midnight and I checked the next day and Maurrice answered the phone. He was very polite. Couldn't follow up yet because it takes a couple days for the DMV to note that you got your paperwork in well. I did follow up when he asked me to and he got right back to me and told me everything I've been taken care of . The course itself is definitely doable. I highly recommend this TRAFFIC SCHOOL .

Greg, is quick to respond and will immediately call back if he missed your call. Michael P. was my son's instructor, he was on time, patient and a good teacher.
