My son said that Noel was patient with him and gave very good instructions. I could see my son's confidence in driving as well as his skill dramatically increased after each lesson. A few days before my son's test, we requested a session with Noel and he took my son through all the possible routes for the driving test. He also pointed out what the tester will be looking for. My son said the last session was very helpful . My son passed with flying colors in his first time taking the driving test. Thank you Noel for all your help!

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 instructor, Howie, was absolutely amazing. Incredibly attentive and always made sure I felt…read morecomfortable and confident behind the wheel. 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!

They cover traffic laws, defensive driving, and provide interactive elements throughout their course. They are fully transparent of the cost. (4) in class Driver's Ed. courses for $100 and (3) two hour behind the wheel training with a certified instructor for $450. That's relatively cheap when compared to other programs. And NO HIDDEN fees! Ben was an exceptional instructor! He was experienced, patient, and knowledgeable with great communication skills. He made my daughter feel comfortable and confident in her ability to drive the vehicle. I would definitely recommend this program to any parent looking to boost their child's confidence in making them feel more secured behind the wheel!

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.

He was able to get his first 2 sessions in before the pandemic hit. The program is setup for your 3rd session to prepare you for the road test. But once the pandemic set in, he couldn't get an appointment for his dmv road test. Laura was kind enough to extend the last session for a period of time closer to his road test. (You have a limited time to complete all 3 sessions if you pay for the 3 session/6 hour deal). Laura was reasonably flexible, on time, and prepared my son for his road test. It was the best value I could find. She came to our house in Eastlake and picked him up in clean and safe sedan. Communication was simple and clear. No miscommunications. Laura did a great job prepping my son to drive. Needless to say, he passed his test with no issues. I recommend national city driving school to anyone looking for a legitimate learning experience, with a professional teacher, at a great value. Shop around and you will see the value in what they offer. Take the complete package, it's worth the initial investment.

It was easy communication to set everything up and she would come and pick them up at the door. She didn't honk at them in our driveway, but instead got out which I thought was awesome! From the boys perspective, she was very through with them while driving and they learned a lot from her. We already had 1 kid do their behind the wheel test and passed and the next one is in April. Only thing I didn't like was just the last minute cancels or rescheduling but I know life is hard but overall totally recommend it and will be using them again in a year or so again for the next teen in the house.

The instructors actually teach you everything you need to know not only to pass your drive test but to pass it with flying colors! They do it in a way that makes you comfortable by not taking phone calls, not having others in the car, and by giving you their undivided attention.

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.
