    Friendly service but I expected the guidance to be a bit more professional at the training sessions.

    Just wanted to update my review. My son passed his driving test the first time with the minimum 6 hours instruction with Ricardo.

    I highly recommend Ricardo and Kaparis Driving School for any age group irrespective of previous knowledge/experience.

    If I had to learn all over again, Mike would be my first choice! He deserves the 5 stars…read more I came to the lesson nervous about driving (I did the manual/stickshift lesson). I explained my concerns about learning stick and he addressed every one of them until I felt confident. I was nervous to drive the freeway and do an uphill start, but his guidance helped a lot. He's very patient and explains things clearly. Leagues above the instructors I had when I was learning for my license. I would trust him to teach my little brother how to drive when he practices for his license. Thanks Mike! You're a good dude and are awesome at teaching driving.

    I rarely leave one-star reviews, especially for businesses we've used before with success…read more Unfortunately, this experience was completely different -- and deeply disappointing. Several years ago, we used this driving school for my eldest daughter. Her instructor, Mike, was excellent: patient, professional, and well-organized. Based on that positive experience, we signed up again on December 27th for my middle daughter and specifically requested Mike. We were told this would not be a problem as long as we were willing to wait a few weeks. What followed was over a month of disorganization, poor communication, and ultimately disrespectful treatment by a staff member named Dave, who insisted on handling everything exclusively via text message. We were never provided a calendar or scheduling system. Instead, we were asked to manually text availability months in advance, which we did -- repeatedly. Despite multiple follow-ups, Dave kept saying he would "get back to us" to schedule Mike, but never did. After weeks of trying to lock down a date, I finally called him directly. That call was shocking. Dave was abrasive, dismissive, and offered no solutions. He abruptly informed me that there were now no available dates until mid-March -- more than two months out from the call, and nearly three months from the date we paid. He refused to escalate the issue or let me speak with anyone else, and made no effort to offer alternatives. After this experience, I went back and read the recent reviews -- something I regret not doing sooner. There is a clear pattern in the last few years of complaints about scheduling failures, lack of follow-through, and poor communication. Earlier reviews (2018-2021) paint a very different picture, largely praising instructors like Mike. Something has clearly changed. We did eventually receive a refund, but that doesn't undo the real cost: we lost over a month of time and delayed our daughter's ability to get on the road and practice. My advice: do not rely on past reputation alone. Read the most recent reviews carefully before booking. Based on our experience, this business is no longer operating at the level it once did.
