Safeway Driving School, Marilyn and Rob were the most helpful and dedicated to making my DMV Driving Test understandable and easily passable. I came to them with 65 yrs. of experience, no tickets or accidents ever. I had just massively failed my first time with some 30 errors. Rob said "I can not teach you how to drive, I can teach you how they (DMV) want you to drive. We spent the hour going driving with my failed test. Four days later, I took my second test and PASSED with only 4 errors. Thanks to Rob and Marilyn, I will be able to drive with a good under standing of how to drive according to the California DMV. Thank you both so much. I will enjoy driving too..... read more

This place came highly recommended from a friend and worked out great for us. They were easy to get in touch with and worked with my schedule.

Patient, yet able to critique her in a way that didn't hurt her confidence. We were really happy with this place. Thank you! read more

Our daughter just received her license and we can't thank Safeway and Robert Pierce (her driving instructor) enough. They took the stress out of the process, even scheduling her test with the DMV, and Robert was incredibly patient with her, focusing each session on her specific weaknesses behind the wheel. He had her drive the Simi Valley test routes multiple times, scoring them, and giving her valuable feedback each time. A+ across the board. read more

My daughter (19) was pretty nervous about her driving test since she had only been practicing with me, her parent. We booked a 2-hour lesson with Peter on Wednesday, and he was incredibly patient and helpful. By the end of the session, she felt so much more at ease. She took her test the next day and passed! From Marilyn, who arranged the lesson on short notice and guided us to the right package, to Peter's calming guidance and valuable tips for the driving test, everyone was kind, supportive, and such a big help. read more

I would definitely recommend the Safeway Driving School for Simi Valley. The time has come, that my son is old enough to get his driver's license. I checked around and ended-up going with Safeway in Simi and am so glad that I did. They have been awesome from beginning to end. We're about to have our final lesson and then my son will be taking the test. First of all, the MVP here at the Simi Safeway is Marilyn! She is absolutely amazing, so nice, and so helpful. She always calls to schedule things and just makes it easy. She has always made an effort to work things out for our schedule and for us to get the driving instructor we liked. She also even helped coordinate it so that my son could have his final lesson the day before his driver's license test. This was so he could practice the route, practice the points of the test, and have all of that fresh in his mind for the big test. Our driving instructor James has been so cool and my son loved practicing with him. He is a very cool guy and a good man. He has a very calm, friendly demeanor, and he knows how to work with young people well. My son felt really comfortable with him. James was very punctual, professional, and friendly. He gave us tips and practice suggestions for my son to do in between lessons. There are businesses that do the same thing, offer the same service, and even charge a similar price. But it's the people that make a service great and I'm grateful to these two good people Marilyn & James for making this experience great for both my son and I. So I would recommend them to any of my neighbors, friends, and family. Thank you Marilyn and James! read more

I would like to thank Safeway Driving School in Simi Valley for helping me to get my twin girls to pass their driving test last week. Special thanks to Marilyn for helping to schedule lessons that fit my busy schedule. She's always nice on the phone. Also like to thank her for recommending James and Peter the two driving instructors. Both instructors were professional and very patient (have more patience than me ). Thank you both for your guidance and encouragement to the girls to get them well prepared for the test and keeping them safe during the lessons. Thank you again! Alan Below are reviews from each of my girls to their instructor. Hope to Peter... My instructor Peter considerately and remarkably helped me in my driving journey. He made sure to be constantly aware while I was driving and kept a tranquil demeanor to ensure that I was calm while driving. He helped me drive around many different areas and covered specific topics multiple times until I felt comfortable, providing clear instructions and helpful tips. As I drove around the different areas, he thoughtfully informed me on what the test would be like while noticing and correcting my mistakes. I was able to pass my first attempt with an unconcerned, ready mindset and I had a great, stress-free experience overall! Trinity to James... Instructor James was a very nice and encouraging instructor, and he always makes sure that I felt confident and capable when I was driving. He had many helpful tips and tricks for all aspects of driving, especially for curbs and parking for me! I passed on my first try with his help, and overall I had a great and safe experience in my driving practices while also feeling ready during my actual driving test! read more

Safeway Driving School - 16 years in the making! Thank you, James and Safeway Driving! I'll see you in a year with my son! - Driving Schools Near Me - Simi Valley, California

I made a wise decision when I chose Safeway Driving for my teenage daughter. They are definitely 5 star! I drove her from Santa Clarita to Simi Valley for her lessons, and her instructor James was top notch. Believe me, it's well worth the drive. He knows how to encourage first time drivers, and he is always positive, thorough, and professional. The office staff is also awesome. For example, Marilyn would send reminders for our appointments, and she always accommodated our schedule. Everyone there has a sincere, caring, and friendly attitude. My daughter passed the DMV test with an excellent score on her first try. read more

This will be a long but detailed review (this review is based on my experience). I decided to take lessons at Safeway based on Yelp reviews, and I am very glad I did. We purchased 4 hours of lessons plus 1 hour of training before the DMV behind the wheel test and DMV behind the wheel test. Let me start by saying, the staff are EXTREMELY kind, understanding and accommodating. I did my first 2 hours with James which went very well and I was told to practice on my own as much as possible before booking my next lesson. I managed to practice for 50 hours on my own. Basically, a month before my next appointment, I had to call and schedule my 2 hour lesson to a closer date because of personal reasons. Marilyn and the other staff were so kind and empathetic towards my situation that they let me practice with another instructor (Rob, who was also very professional) and moved my appointment to the following week and they scheduled my 1 hour practice before the DMV behind the wheel test and DMV behind the wheel test the week after that with the owner of the company, Ash (who is SUPER supportive and kind!!! just because he came with me to my dmv test, it made me feel more confident). I can certainly say that no other company would go out of their way to do that for their customer so I am very thankful! I think that I have met and talked to half or more than half of the staff at this company and their customer service is superior to all the rest. Oh and did I mention that I passed my driving test on my first try?! :) read more

My son just passed his driving test at the Simi Valley DMV. I have to give the credit to his instructor Rob that gave him the confidence he needed to pass. He gave him helpful tips and encouraged my son after he completed each lesson. I have gone through 2 other driving schools with my older children and by far this was the best experience. Their office staff, specifically Marylin, made it easy to schedule his last lesson and even scheduled his DMV appointment. Excellent customer service! Thank you! read more

We have used them for both of our kids. 3 behind the wheel sessions, 2 hours each time for 6 hours of instruction. The first session was getting the kids used to driving on the streets with other cars. The second session was freeway driving and the third session was preparing them for the DMV driving test. Very easy group of people to work with. Instruction appointment were really easy to schedule. Both kids past the first time taking the DMV test. Thank you Safeway Driving School. I would recommend them to all my friends and family. read more

And Marilyn, she's so nice and suggest the course that match for me. I've applied 3 times (6 hours) and I passed the drive test when I just learned 2 times. My instructor are Kim and Rob. Both of them are very nice and patient, they taught me step by step and guide me how to pass the drive test and especially how to drive safely in real life. Appreciate both of them. read more

We absolutely loved Safeway driving school. Peter is hands down the most compassionate, kindest, patient man to teach our son to drive. Our son passed his driving test on the first try. We had a joke on how many points my son would miss, and Peter was right on (it was not a lot). Thank you so much Safeway driving school and to Peter, for keeping my son safe and treating him like he matters. I highly recommend this company and Peter. Thank you so much Safeway read more
