With so many driving schools around the area offering the same rates, it was difficult to pick and…read morechoose which one to go with, but I ultimately landed with AP since they have a discount for A students. As a broke college student, I was very reluctant to pay for driving lessons, but figures in my life told me it was best to drive with an instructor because they understand how to teach you the fundamentals of not only passing the driving test, but also the life skill of driving. My instructor, David, aka "Mr. Adventure," was nothing other than amazing. He distinguished what my weak points were as a driver and helped me understand what I really needed to improve on so I wouldn't be a squirrel on the road. Not only did I pass my test first try with flying colors, but I also feel as though I really understand how to be on the road. Coming out of this experience, I got exactly what I was seeking. I really enjoyed my time conversing with Mr. Adventure too, as he is a great and funny dude who made the experience undoubtedly better. I really would just like to give my props to him and say thank you for helping me understand how to drive. I can now take these skills and implement them into my everyday life, not only to keep other families safe, but my own as well.

Be sure to book your lessons with him. I only got to do one lesson with him unfortunately but I got so much out of it. Imagine what anyone could to with all three lessons with Mr. Adventure.

SOC Driving School instructed both of my kids (one by Travis who is no longer with them, and the…read moreother by Adam) and they both passed on their first driving test. They are VERY fairly priced, always punctual, easy to communicate, super friendly, and I would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a driving school. While certain other school(s) may flaunt fancy cars and former law enforcement instructors, SOC is highly competent in their own right. Beyond driving school, I'd recommend looking into B.R.A.K.E.S. Teen Driver's Training (putonthebrakes.org) to put them through some great evasive and defensive practices.

She is an absolute boss and awesome coach. I started out not knowing anything, nervous to get on a road, to confidently driving on big roads in less than 30 minutes. I gained a lot of confidence in driving after training with her. I signed up for three sessions and was able to go on the highway by the third one. And she has a lot of experience and knows what will show up on the test, more than you'd find online. Very happy and grateful I came to this school and met Mahshid. 100% recommend.

The instructors were very patient with her as she learned the car and rules of the road. It's very important to find a trustworthy driving academy. From purchasing the sessions, to scheduling the sessions, and to scheduling the CA DMV test, it was such an easy process. Our daughter really felt at ease and comfortable with instructors Catherine Steveley and Dan Younger. They really understand how to instruct/connect with a new youth driver. Thank you! Today, our daughter took her CA DMV driver's test and SHE PASSED THE TEST!!! Thank you to everyone at VDA!!! We will go through VDA when our son is eligible.

When Bob came to our house for my son's first lesson he was kind and knowledgeable, letting us know what to expect. My son had a great experience and at the end Bob spoke with us and gave us things to work on with him. All three lessons were amazing, he even gave us tips and tricks for the test and suggested which DMV to go to. Our son passed with flying colors and has a great driving record (he has been driving for 3 years). I am writing this a few years later because we moved away from Irvine and had to find another company for our daughter. Her experience was not as good and we did not feel that she was ready to be driving on her own even after that company signed off on it. I immediately called Varsity and they found her a time to work with Bob and we drove down to Irvine for it. In just two hours he taught her so much, he went through everything and corrected her previous instruction. She is a much more confident and safer driver because of him. She passed her test two days after the lesson. Thank you Varsity and Bob!

As the father to a car-crazy teenager, when it came time for my son to begin his behind-the-wheel training, TRTS was the only solution we considered. Each two-hour lesson with Steven Unland and Jim Sewell was thorough and my son enjoyed conversing with Steven and Jim as he drove. At the end of each lesson, I was given a session review sheet containing the things they covered during the driving lesson and feedback for any areas that my son needed to work on before the next lesson. Thanks to the training that TRTS provided, my son confidently and effortlessly passed his CA DMV behind-the-wheel driving test with only a one point deduction.
