After a disappointing experience with another driving school that left my daughter in tears, I started looking for alternatives and stumbled upon Downtown Driving School through their glowing reviews. Feeling the pressure of my daughter's permit expiring in just a month, I decided to take a chance on them. To my relief, they were able to accommodate us for three consecutive Saturdays of driving lessons, scheduling her license test just three days before her permit was due to expire in the fourth week. The patience and supportive guidance provided by the Downtown team were nothing short of remarkable. Under their tutelage, my daughter's confidence behind the wheel soared. It fills me with immense pride to share that she passed her driver's license test with only a few minor mistakes. Before discovering Downtown Driving School, I had serious doubts about my daughter's chances of passing. However, they far exceeded my expectations with their excellent teaching approach. I can't recommend them highly enough and will forever be grateful for their help in this important milestone. read more

I had an incredible experience with Downtown Driving School, and I'm beyond grateful to have had Danny as my instructor! From the very beginning, the process was simple and stress-free. Scheduling was easy, the pricing was fair, and everything was clearly communicated. Danny was the perfect balance of kind, honest, and encouraging. He never sugar-coated the areas I needed to work on, which I truly appreciated. His straightforward feedback helped me improve quickly and confidently. He clearly cared about my success not just getting me to pass the test, but truly helping me become a safe and capable driver. He was personable, patient, and super helpful, making each lesson something I actually looked forward to learning how to improve my skills. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my driving test on the very first try! If you're looking for a driving school that's professional, affordable, and genuinely invested in your learning, I highly recommend Downtown Driving School--especially with Danny as your instructor! read more

Perfect test!! So glad I chose this school! I had previously bought 5 lessons at another driving school, but after taking them I still felt unprepared and anxious to be on the road. After failing my first drivers exam I decided to take a chance on another school and boy am I glad I did! I had driven with two other instructors at my previous driving school and neither of them helped me feel as confident driving or helped me understand and remember the rules of the road like Walter did. Walter greatly balanced teaching you what you need to know, while keeping it calm and fun. He was very patient, encouraging, and funny making it a great experience over all. I ordered 7 lessons + DMV Exam from Walter and the end results were me passing my DMV Driving Exam with 0 errors! And that's with no one taking me to practice driving outside of the lesson either. I left my last driving school still scared to drive, and yet I left Downtown Driving School excited to! Thank you Walter, it was fun! read more

I highly recommend this driving school! Thanks to my instructor, Walter, I passed my driving test on the first try. Walter is incredibly patient, accommodating, and has excellent communication skills. When I had to cancel a lesson due to being sick, he was very understanding and flexible in rescheduling. From the very first lesson, Walter focused on preparing me to drive confidently with another adult and encouraged me to keep practicing between lessons. He covered everything I would be tested on and made sure I could perform each part of the test efficiently. As a 26-year-old who considers myself a nervous passenger, I was initially anxious about learning to drive. Walter helped me feel much more confident behind the wheel, which made all the difference. The option to use a company car for the test was also a big help since I don't currently have access to a car. Overall, I'm so glad I chose this driving school, and I can't thank Walter enough for his guidance and support! read more

I had the best experience with Downtown Driving School and working with Walter. I was really impressed with how patient he was along with the other staff. I was nervous and Walter had my back all the way. I finally passed and it was such an amazing feeling. I went into the test confident and comfortable with the car they let me use for the test. Not only was he a great instructor, he was easy to taIk to and worked with my schedule to meet up with me around my hours as a college student. I really appreciate the time taken to teach me some things, and help me to become a great driver. If you are looking for a place to start driving, I would say this is the place to be. read more

Thanks to Walter from Downtown Driving School, I was able to pass my behind the wheel driving test the other day. Walter is very calm and patient with you, and is always making sure you follow safe driving techniques. These are qualities I was hoping for when I was looking for a driving instructor, and Walter definitely exceeded my expectations. Walter is also very friendly, and it is fun to talk to him, making the driving lessons more fun. Overall, as a result of working with Walter, I feel like a much more confident, safe, and skillful driver than I was before. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who wants the confidence and skills for safe driving. read more

I signed up for 6 lessons and a road test. The schedule is flexible. No more practice at home, and no more driving experience before; I just passed on my first try today with 13 errors (my examiner was really tough). Walter taught me the first two lessons. Then Julia taught me the rest and took me to the DMV. Both of them are patient and skilled. They really helped me to be confident on the road. Walter taught me some skills on the roads. Julia always reminds me of everything like traffic checks, speed, right of way,... So I got a habit of good driving skills. Thank you, my instructors! read more

Walter was an amazing instructor! Not only is Walter an amazing instructor, but a hard worker in making sure his students drive to the best of their ability. This is what this driving school is about, making sure their students come out feeling safe and ready to drive. Walter was patient with me at each driving lesson and helped me build the confidence for my behind the wheel test. I past on my first try after a series of classes. Thank you Downtown Driving School and Walter for helping me build the confidence and teaching me how to drive. I definitely recommend this driving school. read more

6 driving lessons ago I was a fearful individual that was skeptic about driving on the road. I knew that it was about time to conquer that fear and I could not have easily done so if it weren't for Walter!!! Not only does he have exceptional teaching methods, he also makes a great friend to converse with, ultimately making your driving experience comfortable and enlightening! I enjoyed every session with him and 6 driving lessons later and the behind-the-wheel test, here I am licensed and fully prepared for the road! Thank you Walter!!! I definitely recommend this school!!! read more

This driving school and especially, Walter, saved us last week! The driving school that we were using closed unexpectedly and without notice and when we called around, we were given the best service ever by Walter. He gave my daughter her last needed behind the wheel instruction and even gave her extra time, tips and a higher skill level than we even expected from the previous driving school. I would recommend this group highly. These are skills that our children will use for a lifetime and I am so grateful that we found them. read more

Walter is honestly the best driving instructor out there. He was so humble to get everything done and make his students amazing drivers. He such a chill and nice person to talk to about anything. He knows a little something about everything. Although they are driving lessons, it feels like he's your friend. Those 6 hours flew by so quick with this guy and Im going to refer him to all my friends. I hope this helps anyone who is trying to find a driving school or instructor. We DOWNTOWN DRIVING SCHOOL IS THE BEST. read more

What can I say. Downtown driving school was one of my best decision. I have had this fear of driving for the longest time. I have tried and couple time and didn't succeed. This time around it was amazing. Thanks to Walter. He made it easy. I felt comfortable. He is patient and compassionate about what he does. He was there for me 100 %. I passed my driving test on the first try, yeah. I wish there were more that 5 stars because he definitely deserves more. Thanks a million Walter. read more

I rarely ever review anything but I've got to say that Walter is the BEST driving instructor that I've ever worked with. I've not been driving for over 10 years due to a serious illness and Walter helped me to re-learn how to drive after many years. He's very patient and very knowledgeable. I really enjoy working with him and learning from his wealth of experience. A real pleasure to working with you. Thank you so so much!! Five star all the way.., read more

I had the chance to drive with both Walter and Kim, they are amazing plain and simple. I didn't want to admit my small fear of driving to anyone up until I found this school and within the first 30 minutes of the lesson, all of that went out the window. I have confidence but more importantly the practice I needed. Because of them I passed my behind the wheel test in Fullerton with a perfect score. The 5 stars are no joke they are well deserved. read more

With so much stress in life the last thing I needed was to worry about my son's DMV training and test for his license. Downtown Driving school took care of everything from picking him up for classes to taking him to the DMV for the test and even setting up the appointment.

Walter is a really cool and nice driving instructor. Im 17 years old and would get nervous whenever my dad tried to teach me how to drive so when i got the lessons here I was really relaxed and i learned through my mistakes with calm and specific instruction.

If it wasn't for his amazing tutelage, I wouldn't have passed. Thanks Walter! read more
