We had such a wonderful experience with El Cajon Driving School! They were the perfect choice for…read moreour son, who is our first driver. He completed all of his online coursework independently and passed his permit test on his very first try. As a teacher, I'm comfortable teaching a lot of things--but teaching my own child to drive was definitely NOT something I was looking forward to! When it came time for behind-the-wheel lessons, Dan, my son's instructor, was absolutely fantastic. He even allowed me to ride in the backseat during the lessons so I could learn how to better support my son when he was driving with me. Dan was incredibly patient, took the time to explain everything thoroughly, and did a great job putting my son at ease (even while I was white-knuckling it in the backseat! ). He gave him the confidence and skills he needed to become a safe, capable driver. A few weeks ago, my son took his driving test--and passed with a PERFECT SCORE! We couldn't be happier with our experience and will absolutely be using El Cajon Driving School again when our daughters are ready to learn. Highly recommend them, and especially Dan! Thank you for helping our first-time driver become a confident one!

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!

I couldn't have wished for a better instructor, and I can't recommend her enough. The scheduling and billing were straightforward and clear too. I passed the test from the second try; however, I believe I did well the first time too, but oh, well. I passed with flying colors the second time even though my driving hadn't changed.

A relative of mines paid $549 for six hours of lessons over three days…read more I want to start off with the negatives: The experience will be very hit or miss across lessons. Your experience will depend on which instructor was assigned to you. My relative had two different instructors, very different from each other. Soleiman had a nice modern car, but his heart was not in teaching the driver but more of criticizing him all the time. His attitude, I've been told, was as if this job was a side gig to him. Not passionate about teaching, and seems to not be passionate about driving in general. My relative then switched instructors to Mayela. Mayela's car was a tad outdated and kinda dirty on the inside. The good: Business owner Dee, I've been told, is a lovely woman to have a chat with. She is certainly someone who is passionate about teaching, and I'm certain most of her employees are the same. Mayela definitely was someone who shares the passion as well. Kind, patient, understanding. TLDR: Don't waste your time and money on taking driving classes with Soleiman.

Mark is a funny guy he's super nice and got lots of good wise and good info to share with you and always trying to help him or get better when going out for your practice on the road drives and Juan he's the lead instructor he knows his stuff he top tier he takes care of this school as much as he can even tho you can tell the school sometimes suffers when they need new equipment but as an individual you make it work out perfectly. Juan helps you all the way to the end and he even has contacts so when you graduate you can start working making the big bucks ! I recommend this school to anyone especially locals the yard is located in Oceanside. In two weeks I landed a bad ass job driving a vactruck making pervailing

It started with week 1 with Stan doing the classroom portion 160 allowed us to do it from the comfort of your home via zoom or in person whichever worked for you. After was at the yard With Juan, Mark & Winton. Great instructors!!! All that was required was to LISTEN & pay attention & it just started to flow. I didn't know how to conduct a pre trip on day one it was overwhelming and after doing it everyday ...repetition..repetition it all started coming along and it became second nature along with the air brakes and the skills. I had a great experience overall glad I chose 160 driving academy. Trust the Process... MAKE SENSE?!?!?

The owner spent a lot of time with us explaining options. He even suggested maybe she didn't need a lesson since she is already pretty much ready to pass the drive test, and shared some resources that I could use to help guide her practice. I don't think I've ever had a business tell me I didn't really need them, how refreshing LOL. We purchased a single lesson for now, to get feedback from the qualified instructor so my daughter will have the confidence to take the road test in a couple of weeks. If this company will spend that much time with me for a 1 session purchase, you can be sure they will be accomodating, helpful and knowledgeable for your situation as well. I highly recommend this company. I will update my review after the driving session.

We signed our son up and Chou Vang was assigned as his instructor. After the first lesson my son said Chou didn't give him any feedback or tips. No better for lesson 2 and during lesson 3 when it came to freeway driving he only took our son on the 8 east from the 15 freeway to College Ave. That barely even counts! We called and spoke to the school and they didn't seem to care about our disappointment. He completed 2 more hours today with a different school and he said their instructor was amazing. I would not recommend this school or Chou Vang as an instructor.
