Our teenage daughter went through their school and they were professional and courteous all the way through. We are happy to say that our daughter passed her driving test and we are super grateful to Joe's Driving School for being essential in this process. Thank you Joe and Paula! read more

They don't know how to teach. First 2 times very late. Daughters didn't learn. I had to hire another instructor to help. They noticed the difference right away. Paula doesn't give any verbal feedback. Only writes notes and then doesn't explain her notes because she is on a rush to leave because she is parked where she claims she can't park. read more

We had a beyond wonderful experience with Joe. My daughter passed on the 1st try and said things Joe taught her helped her pass. She said he was very calm and easy to drive with. Booking appointments was easy and spaced out perfectly. He went above and beyond to get us her online drivers ed certificate. Highly recommend. read more

My driving instructor was Paola and she was very good. She made me feel comfortable when driving on the highway and when I was first out driving. she's super sweet and amazing. read more

Let me tell you about Joe's Driving School. I am 27 and just barely got my license. I was so anxious and nervous about driving. I failed 3 times before when I was 21 in a different city. I was so nervous I would never learn to drive. I found Joe's Driving School after researching driving schools near me. I found another one in Glendora that wanted to charge $650+ just for 6 hours of behind the wheel driving practice. Joe's Driving school offered the same but for much less, around $350, and they offered to pick me up and drop me off for each lesson, which I need because I don't drive and other driving schools don't offer that. When I contacted Joe's Driving School, Joe immediately understood my concerns. He was sympathetic to the fact that I needed my driver test ASAP because my permit expired on July 5. He squeezes me in for three spots in June with Paola. Paola is amazing!! She can teach ANYONE how to drive. I was so anxious and nervous, I was ready to give up on driving. But after just 6 hours with Paola, she really changed my life around. On the second lesson she took me on the freeway. I was so shocked she trusted ME on the freeway and I hadn't driven a car in like 5 years. She is super patient, kind, and supportive. She really made me gain so much confidence to drive and drive well. I passed on the first try! With Paola and Joe, I now have my license after 9 years of practicing, not really taking driving seriously, and not having anyone to help me. Thank you so much Paola and Joe!! I would definitely recommend Joe's Driving School to anyone who just needs to learn how to drive or anyone who has anxiety about driving. They really care about you and make sure you pass the test. They care about you as a person, and they don't just see you as a way to make money. read more

Joe's Driving School - Passed with only one mistake! - Driving Schools Near Me - Glendora, California

Joe is a great teacher and driving instructor. I had no driving experience whatsoever and he taught me the rules of the road very clearly . I 100% recommend anyone who needs help with the driving on the road/pass test to book appointments with him. read more

Joe's driving school made me pass first try. I recommend this school 100% Joe and Paola were very encouraging and helping through out the whole process. read more

My son enjoyed his driving instructor, Joe. He really helped my son be more confident driving, and told him what he needs to work on for the DMV driving test. He was also very accommodating to us. read more

Joe is great and my son passed his driving test today on first try!!!! Definitely recommending Joe!!!

Joe took my son out driving and he did a wonderful job. My son really enjoyed his style of teaching . Joe was always on time and gave feedback after each lesson on how to improve. My son passed his test on the first try, thank you Joe! read more

I am eternally grateful for Paola and her help with passing my driving test and getting my license!!! She was extremely kind, patient, and calm during our lessons, which is exactly what you want from an instructor when learning to drive a car. She has a lot of expertise and experience with DMVs and what they expect, which helped a lot during the test. With only 3 lessons (2 hours each), and minimal practice on my own, I was able to get my license. Thank you, Paola and thank you, Joe's Driving School! I appreciate your help a lot. 100% recommend getting lessons :)) read more

Joe's Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Glendora, California

Terrible. Barely taught anything. Just criticized my daughter & made her drive to basically do errands. Also very condescending. Made my daughter dread her lessons & hate driving. Paola was talking on her phone during lessons multiple times, not paying attention. She came without gas once so she made my daughter drive to the gas station to get gas during her lesson, wasting her time. She even made my daughter get out of the car to pump the gas while Paola sat in the car on her phone. She also made her stop to get coffee & groceries once while my daughter sat in the car waiting. She treated my daughter like her own personal driver, but yelled at her if she made any mistakes. Absolutely terrible. Do not support. Go anywhere else. read more

After rushing through the "behind the wheel" lessons with another company, my son failed his test twice. He was EXTREMELY anxious and really didn't even want to keep trying. We signed him up with Joe and after two lessons and a few weeks of practice he felt way more confident and better prepared. He re-took his test and passed, only loosing 2 points. I am thrilled and can't recommend this school more! Thank you Joe for helping our son!! read more

$300 to drive in a straight line down route 66 while being asked "is there something wrong with you that you didnt tell me about?" anytime i would make a mistake on my driving LESSON. In my three lessons I did exactly one U-turn, and parked twice. Once it was clear that I had a grasp on the basics of driving he stopped TEACHING and just sat back and texted on his phone, occasionally making me pull over so he could make a phone call. When i asked if he thought id be ready to take the test and pass, he told me i should probably pay for more lessons, after spending the last 3 dicking around on his phone and making fun of my rough stops and turns. I had many friends use this driving school, and they all gave me glowing reviews. I will not be asking their opinions next time i need help with something. read more

Joe's driving school is great and very informative! They provide everything you will need to take your test and PASS. Paola, my instructor was very kind, patient and honest when needed for improvement. She will make sure you understand procedures and continue to work on any necessary skills that may need a little extra work. She is very encouraging and enthusiastic as well, I thank her for providing the extra confidence I needed to get my license. I took my test the following day after my last class and passed. I definitely recommend this school to anyone looking for extra training, guidance and just general understanding of driving. read more

My daughter was able to schedule her DMV driving test but that left a short window for her to take her last behind the wheel with Joe's. Joe went above and beyond calling his other appointments explaining our situation to accommodate squeezing her in!!! We are beyond grateful and appreciative. He could have just turned us away and he went above and beyond! They also have been very insightful with providing specific examples and explanations to my daughter to build her confidence as a defensive driver. Thank you !!! read more

Joe is extremely patient and experienced as an instructor. I really appreciated it when he drew on a piece of paper driving situations which I was not familiar with, when we are parked, of course. He is very kind and friendly!! That makes the lessons more enjoyable. read more

Writing this review one behalf of my grandmother: I am a senior citizen and had to take the DMV driving test to renew my license due to changes in my eyesight. Through Joe's 6 hour driving course, I was able to gain the confidence and skill needed for the exam. I am happy to say that I passed and it is all thanks to Joe's Driving School. read more

I really enjoyed doing business with Joe and and his team. They have the best rates in the San Gabriel Valley and they helped my teenage son pass his driving test. He got his license on his first try at West Covina DMV. After each session my son felt confident and excited to be driving. He said he learned a lot and it showed when I would practice with him as well. They were very flexible with the appointments. Thank you Joe's Driving School. read more

Joe's Driving School - Drivers License! - Driving Schools Near Me - Glendora, California

My daughter dreaded every lesson and did not learn everything she needed to learn. Part of the actual driving test is to reverse next to a curb, which she never even went over with her. Several stops at gas stations and Starbucks for "bathroom breaks", and unprofessional conversation. Appointments were hard to get because Paola was either booked or was moving and couldn't work. Total waste of my money for now I have to take her somewhere else to be better prepared for her test. read more

Please do not take your kids here to learn to drive. Please. It's a terrible business. Not run like a normal business that cares and is organized. It's a mess. Not professional and not helpful. Both Joe and Paola should not be working with young adults. Or running a business. I've sent 2 teens here and learned how the lesson time is used for personal errands for the instructor including gas stops, fast food and shopping and bathroom breaks! While charming the parents, the teen student is verbally abused in that car. So example is a 2 hour lesson is 15 mins of instructor on phone , driving to the errand of choice , instructor leaving car for 20 minutes to run errands, driving a bit more and being rude to student, maybe stop #2 or gas or another phone call. There's been other students in the car for my child's private lesson also. The instructor is constantly on her cel phone , constantly! Even yelling and having private family discussions. Every lesson with my kids was the same bullshit. I am so sad that we invested so much time and money and had to teach our kids ourselves after this horrible experience. Both my teens would come home upset and confused. Rude demands and improper teaching. The car wasn't completely safe either, there were issues. Please protect your new drivers and go somewhere else. These people came recommended and then I started hearing around Glendora High how terrible and similar each lesson experience was after we paid and saw it ourselves!!! Please let all young people know that this driving school must not be trusted. read more

I just passed my Drivers license today as I am writing this as we speak. Before I used to lack motivation but once I came across Joes driving school, Joe talked to me and created a schedule for me to practice driving and I also got to meet Paola, another driving instructor. Very good people! read more

The instruction was not the problem it was the scheduling. They act like the have room but they are always booked. Good luck trying to get your sessions scheduled. They really like to stretch them out. When you call asking about them they act like you are bothering them. Too expensive for what they offer. read more

Great place very patient instructor and took their time to show my daughter every step of the way. Very professional staff

Paola is the sweetest and she has been amazing with my daughter, my daughter gets really nervous driving with me but she does so well with Paola. My daughter still needs more practice but that has nothing to do with this school, Paola has gotten her so far, she's given my daughter the confidence I couldn't give her, I can't thank this school enough for all their help. read more

I have ZERO complaints about Joe's Driving School! I called a few in the area and not only was Joe's Driving School the most affordable they were friendly, prompt, professional and picked up my son from our home! Joe was the instructor; in my sons words he was cool, assertive and patient. He worked with him a couple weeks before his behind the wheel test giving him a practice test along with what he needed to work on specifically. On the 1st try he passed in Pasadena which is supposedly one of the one of the hardest DMV's to pass! Thank you Joe's Driving School for your consistency! I will definitely be returning with my other son in the next couple of months! read more

Update my daughter passed her behind the wheel test, first try! Thank you Joe's Driving School and especially Paola!

I don't usually leave bad reviews, but this driving school has earned it. The second I got in the car and turned it on, the tank was on empty, again! Paula made me drive from San Dimas to Glendora to go get HALF a tank of gas. Didn't learn a thing on the way to the gas station because she was busy talking about how much she hates hot weather. After getting half a tank of gas, she told me that she would not verbally instruct me because that's what the examiner will do to me on test day. Mind you, this is only my second day of lessons. I clearly still need guidance! I drove for 2 hrs and it's a miracle I didn't end up in an accident. My head was spinning because she made me look at every single lane a car could possibly come out of. Remember, she wasn't talking to me. So if I didn't look at the entrance to an apartment building's security gate, she aggressively tapped on the window like I should know to do that. I am all for safety, but that behavior was unnecessary because there was obviously no one there. By the way, IM A NEW DRIVER. Sorry I can't look everywhere at once while going 50 miles an hour. Despite her unrealistic standards, I tried my best. I crossed a green light and looked both ways like she said I should. But then she said, nope! You looked right, left. Not left, right. Give me a break! Paula only made driving more difficult for me. A YouTube video would've done me more good. I came home in tears. read more

Joe and Paola did a great job at getting me appointments as soon as possible. They were very patient and always giving you tips to improve even the most minor details. Highly recommend checking this place out. read more

I would 100% recommend Joe to all my friends. He's super nice and punctual. My son is 16 and very quiet, he really liked the fact that Joe is really soft spoken and didn't make him feel nervous. He answered all his questions. Thumbs up! My son passed his test after the first time. read more

They've been great for my daughter and they're patient and also help focusing on what matters.

I had a great experience with Joe's Driving School. They have a female instructor for my teenage daughter that we both felt more comfortable with. I've recommended Joe to several friends! read more

Have had an overall very good experience with Joes Driving School. My son has enjoyed learning the rules of the road with Joe and I've appreciated the quick communication and ease of scheduling. Joe even went above and beyond with rescheduling my sons third lesson on short notice due to changes in the summer school schedule this year. After each lesson Joe provides you with a write up based off a DMV driving test, to help provide feedback for further areas requiring improvement. We really can't say enough good things and I would hands down recommend this driving school 100%! read more

My kid cousin has been looking forward to earning his wings since graduation high school recently, but his parents work morning til night so I told them I would help with the driving permit. Told him to find a driving school near his home and a friend of his referred him to this school, having said he passed the first time taking the test. 1. Easy going staff answered the phone and took down the appointment. 2. Kid cousin isn't well organized, so we had to reschedule and that was no issue. 3. Thorough with the lessons and my cousin passed the first time. 4. Straight forward. Thorough. Easy going... Highly recommended. read more

My daughter just passed her DMV behind-the-wheel test after her first try!! We are thankful to Joe's Driving School, especially Paula, for her wisdom, instruction, patience, and guidance. Paula was extremely helpful in emphasizing what my daughter needed to focus on to pass her test. After each driving session, Paula would discuss with us her recommendations so that we can focus on those whenever we practiced. I went with Joe's Driving School because of the reviews, and I'm glad we did. I will be signing up my other daughter soon with Joe's Driving School in preparation for her behind-the-wheel test too!! read more

Joes driving school was fabulous. My son needed to be a good driver for us to let him drive ... thanks to joe he scored 100! Many thanks!

Paula and her brother Joe run this busines. She is terrible. She was rude to my daughter. She disregarded safety laws. She was constantly telling her how bad she was. She even had my daughter pull into a gas station and then have my daughter pump the gas while she was on the phone. The time with Paula can definitely be used for her errands. Being with her for two hours is excruciating. The last session my daughter had with her was so unbearable. My daughter was in tears by the time it was over. She had been telling her for the past two hours how she was terrible and would not pass. She was upset for the rest of the rest of the day. Her driving test was the very next day. Her confidence was destroyed. What a cruel thing to do to a child. My daughter passed her test, did a wonderful job....no thanks to Paula. read more

Joe is the best! Patient, knowledgeable, and knew all the tips to help my son pass on the first try. Great price and service.. was recommended to Joe by a friend, and I will now be recommending him myself. read more

This review is for the excellent customer service I received from Joe the owner. He really tried hard to work with me in booking the lessons, but unfortunately due to our family's tight schedule and last minute planning we were not willing to wait and decided to use a school that could meet earlier. He seems very committed and takes pride in providing whatever is needed to ensure a successful experience. All services start with how you treat the customer, if you don't get that part right then it's all downhill. read more
