I have put all three of my children through this driving school now. It's a small business, and…read moreit's very clear that the teenagers learning how to drive are the true focus. They try so hard (and succeed, IMO) in making sure they are available at times that are convenient and possible for the kids - working around school times, breaks and picking them up at school or home. During the pandemic, they worked really hard to get the kids going as soon as they could. They are also very aware of how important this is to the kids and really keep that front and center in their business.

I had such a hard time finding a responsive school closer to home, so finding East Bay Driving School worth the trip to Pleasanton. My daughter loved Jeff. In her words: "He's so chill and easy to talk to. I learned so much from him." After all the prep and support, she passed her driving test on the first try! Thank you, Sheri and Jeff. Even though she was nervous, she went in feeling confident and that's entirely because of you both. Thank you so much!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND! I took my behind the wheel classes here and they are AMAZING!…read more At my first lesson, I didn't know a single thing about driving, but my instructor Kristi was very patient and very good at teaching me what to do. I was taught how to turn the steering wheel, use turn signals, using the brakes and accelerator, changing lanes, merging lanes, deal with traffic circles, speed limit, and so much more! I went from driving with no accelerator around my neighborhood to driving with the accelerator in the main roads! Great progress :) Second lesson was with Shelby, who was very good as well! She showed me DMV routes, taught me how to reverse in a straight line, lane changes when there was a bike lane present, and had me practicing what I needed to practice most. I am now very good at turning, performing the task of a U-Turn, changing lanes, and looking out for bikers in bike lanes. My last instructor was Christian, who was excellent! Very verbal in a very good way. He repeated things that were important so I could remember him saying those things. He taught me how to look ahead at all times, he taught me how to park in the mall parking lot, and he really worked on straight parking! Thanks to him, I can park at many places and I'm able to park along the curb without ever hitting it! Overall, every instructor I had were excellent! They were able to teach me with patience, tips, and of course, kindness and encouragement! Very informative and they prepare you VERY WELL for the DMV behind-the-wheel test!

What started out as an exciting day ahead ended up being quite the disaster. The driving teacher…read moreJezel was not only late by 20 minutes she was extremely rude and disrespectful. She very rudely over the phone accused me of giving her the wrong address, which I did not. When she finally got to the correct address she verbally attacked my sister for giving her the wrong address, thinking she was talking to me. She pointed her finger in my sister's face as she was aggressively speaking to her. My husband then asked for a discount considering we paid for 1 full hour of training plus the actual DMV driving test (to use the car) As he was not going to get the full hour he was only getting 30 minutes drive time before the DMV driving test appointment. Jezel was very rude and then started blaming him for the address navigation "issue". She told my husband "i don't have to be here i can go home, do you want to go or not"!? I ended up on the phone with jezels boss and she was more concerned with me paying full price for something we were not going to receive than she was from this very unprofessional situation. I talked my husband into going with her, in hopes that he would pass the test, when they got into the car, the first thing she asked him was where he was from (he has a thick accent, her follow up question was "are you Muslim" then asked him why he was wearing a cross necklace (i am not sure how this is relevant to the driving test.) After all was said and done he got 30 minutes driving time, and we didn't get a single cent for a discount and she asked him for a tip. A TIP?

I had a wonderful experience with First and Final. From the lady helping me coordinate (she may be…read morethe owner) to the provider instructor. They are very professional and sooo understanding. I didn't realize how complex the process was and all the steps we needed to take with DMV first and she was so kind to answer all of my questions and walk me through the processes. Once done we were connected with Ryan (our driver), he was so nice and supportive in his training of my son. This was his first time being behind the wheel and Ryan was able to explain and show him how to drive and what to expect. So happy I was referred to them and I will be sure to refer them to others as needed.

His approach is very straightforward, practical and easy to learn. I finished my behind the wheel test today and got my license! Huge thanks to the First and Final team - they have been very patient and focused to make me learn and make the most of what I pay.

Coach Windle is hands down the BEST driving instructor we could have asked for. He is patient,…read morecalm, and incredibly knowledgeable -- exactly what you want when your teen is learning to drive. He builds confidence without ever making students feel nervous or overwhelmed. What really sets Coach Windle apart is how much he truly cares. He doesn't just teach kids how to pass a driving test -- he teaches them how to be safe, responsible, and aware drivers for life. His communication with parents is excellent, and you can tell he takes pride in what he does. If you're looking for a driving school that prioritizes safety, professionalism, and real-world skills, Go-Green is the one. We are so grateful for the experience and highly recommend them to anyone with a new driver!

My daughter liked that April made her feel comfortable and was patient and a great teacher. I also appreciated that she was able to drive out to our home in Alamo for driving lessons. She updated me on their progress and gave recommendations on helping them become a safe driver.

Bay Hill is the best driving school in the Bay Area. I know that's saying a lot, but truth be…read moretold, I had such a great experience here. I'm a freshly 20 year old female without any experience behind the wheel, and I mean any!! Unfortunately, my nerves got the best of me during my first lesson and I freaked out. I caused myself and my instructor some stress, and sadly I was unmotivated to drive for a while. Before I left a negative review, I contacted Bay Hill's through email. They made things right and scheduled my second appointment with JP, and he was fantastic! I went from shaking like a leaf behind the wheel to having genuine confidence in 2 hours-- No exaggeration! We drove around and shared a heartfelt conversation, in which he also shared some tips on lane switching and turns. Halfway through our session, we stopped for water and stretches, so I knew my comfortability was respected. The negative reviews on this business are so upsetting. This is an excellent Asian-owned, woman-owned small business with so much diversity on their staff. If your first lesson goes awry, contact them!!! They are bound to have someone you are comfortable with. This is an honest review! I could not recommend Bay Hill Driving School enough!

My instructor was a bit of a nightmare who didn't talk me through any steps, she just told me to…read morestart driving right away and harshly corrected anything I did wrong. She would smack gum, eat food, and generally had an attitude of not caring. Only until my last class did she run me through a couple of rules but I never really learnt anything under her teaching. It was high pressure and everything I learned was like being tested without knowing there was a test or what the material was on. The only saving grace here is that the people at the office are great, they kindly signed my second permit and gave me another learning certificate for $25 when I lost my first one. I would shop around for a better driving school before settling on this one.

Sadly Mike really let us down. We met Mike on his Off-road Experience through a friend in Nevada…read more It seemed like he knew about older Rovers, even though his conversations with anyone around were always a rough and a little rude. When we came back from the trip we brought in our '95 Range Rover soft dash for a service and to tackle some engine issues. He almost immediately gave us the bad news that he thought the engine needed a full rebuild. We trusted him and we left the vehicle. Initially we were given an estimate of 4-6 weeks. 2 months later we had to call him to ask where we were with the rebuild. He said he hadn't even started and that he was busy prepping his race car. We asked what the issue was and he didn't have an answer and said we can always just come pick up our vehicle. We came to pick up the vehicle and he assured us he could do the engine and would start shortly. This was confusing, but we left the vehicle and waited for him to complete the work. Finally in a couple more months we got a big bill, which he said we were only able to pay by check or cash. Honestly we were excited to pickup the car and didn't really think anything else of it. We drove out of the shop and got on the freeway when the car started smoking. We called Mike and he gruffly said that it was fine and just oil burning off. By the time we arrived at home, we live in the Danville area, the car was barely operational. We called Mike again who told us he had a few restorations underway and he didn't have time to look at it. We called a third time and he said there was really no way he could help us, but in a completely rude way. I couldn't believe it. I'd never been talked to that way on the phone by anyone. We figured out why he wanted us to pay with a check so we couldn't get any recourse of the payment. We ended up having to go to another shop and completely rebuild the engine again. We found out he billed us for new parts when they were used and broken in addition to cutting gaskets and hoses roughly by hand so it looked like a mess under the hood and spilled oil and coolant everywhere. The final conclusion we wanted to share was that Mike is beyond rude, a poor mechanic, an unethical businessman and a dishonest person. I would suggest avoiding this shop at all costs since the alternative was our expensive mistake with our beloved RR "soft dash".

THAT was greatly appreciated! I only have 2 issues... 1-the talkers towards the front of the room: They were distracting. It was sometimes difficult to hear the instruction and discussion. They should have been asked to take their discussion outside.. but not a deal breaker.. 2- why didn't I sit closer to the front? Well, the classroom chairs were highschool-like desk/chair combo seats. Very small and very uncomfortable (as other smaller people told me). My leg couldn't even fit halfway in. I had to sit on an office chair in the back and pulled a desk, backwards, towards me for a writing surface. Pretty embarrassing. Please consider having single tables and chairs for those of us that need a bit more room. 8 hours slouching and my back is aching today... Thank you for facilitating and sending the DMV our certificates of completion!
