It took quite a while but we finally got driving lessons for the teen done. We signed up for six 2…read morehr lessons for our new teen driver in Feb. We had read many reviews indicating Phil as a great and patient teacher so we choose him and had to wait a little extra to start the lessons because he was booked a little farther in advance. The whole process is fairly hands off as the parent which is a nice break. The office takes your info and payment, the instructor is given your address and comes and picks your kid up for the lessons. I wasn't home for any lessons due to work but my wife was and our teen would be swooped you, perform his driving and came back a couple hours later. I guess the only thing I could have wanted was a little feedback each time on how he was doing. Also, due to Covid, the teen got 4 lessons in and then had to wait two months to complete the last 2 lessons. We had moved in that time period and Phil didn't miss a beat. He came out and took the teen for his lessons, with a mask for both this time. The teen even said he got to go through the drive thru to pick up some food because he was hungry. He thought that was great! Phil came to the door a gave a brief update on the last lesson and all seemed well. If I recall, the total for the six 2 hour lessons was between $500-600, which is a good chunk of change. However, the teen seemed confident in his skills, it saved us the major stress of dealing with his initially scary driving, and it was so easy to get the lessons started and taken care of, that I find it was well worth the money!

I paid for a full-time training program and spent a lot of my time standing around waiting for a turn to get skills. The class was so overcrowded with students I only got 2 hours of actual skills during 4-week class. they have 3 manual trucks and 1 automatic truck, all of them are filthy inside and are poorly maintained.

She explained the process to me and even found ways for me to save money if I was willing to take a few steps on my own ahead of time. The training facility is in Carson City. I attended the school for three days a week, (Tuesday, Thursday, Fridays,) and was able to complete my 100 to 120 hours in a little over a month. it was very helpful that I could make a custom training schedule to suit my Individual needs since I worked on the other weekdays while attending this program. I thought the instructors were very knowledgeable, easy-going, and willing to help each individual out to make sure you were gaining the necessary skills required for getting a CDL. I'm happy to say I am now a legal Class A Nevada license holder even had a job before I finished the program. I was also able to obtain my hazmat, doubles and triples, and tank endorsements through the DMV. So when I took my final test, I was ready to go out and work with as much eligibility as possible. I would also like to add that during the job search the 160 driving academy is very well-known and looked favorably upon from your new potential employers. I found this to be an asset during my job search. Also not having any restrictions on my license a.k.a. being able to drive manual transmissions, I found also to be a big benefit. Andrew

I'll be honest, I was a bit nervous when I gave $600 over the phone for five two-hour lessons…read more Luckily, this school is legitimate. Not only is it legitimate, but the lessons were extremely helpful. Paul was an excellent, kind, and professional instructor (he works for Steve, the owner of the company). One thing I would like to see: confirmation receipts in the email, as well as text alerts for driving lessons. That being said: they will call when they arrive. The car is superior to most other driving schools' cars in Reno (it's a Suburu Outback with all the safety features). It has active warning systems, is probably better in the event of an emergency crash (hopefully doesn't happen), and is comfortable. I'd recommend these people strongly. Oh, and they'll actually pick up their phone after 4pm. That's a nice touch - which is why I went with them, versus their competitor who lied on their website and said they were open until five.
