Faith, the lady at the front desk, was incredibly helpful. We even got to pick between a female and a male instructor, and we decided on a lovely lady named Regina.

My daughter has been receiving lessons at West Coast Driving School from Walter Cyz. The first…read morelesson she said he was impatient, but she thought he was teaching her to drive and maybe it just seemed that way. After the second lesson, she said he was impatient and rude and argued with her. I called the school and I got him on the phone. I told him what she told me and yep, he began to argue with me by defending everything he said, which I did not ask for. I finally told him enough to get him to stop. He said he wasn't arguing with my daughter and I told him the evidence speaks for itself. If he is arguing with me, he was arguing with my daughter, most likely. I asked for another driving instructor and he said I could get another one for the final lesson. I would request not to use Walter when setting up the lessons, and if they refuse, go to another school. Other than him, it has been a decent experience. They work with scheduling and try to accommodate. But to spend 2 hours in a car with a guy who acts like a jerk when you are 16 years old is not good. It is hard enough for kids to learn to drive on command, and to have some guy being impatient and rude in the car with you, is unacceptable. Finally, Walter had my daughter stop at 7/11 for snacks In the middle of her lesson.

CRAZY STORY... I couldn't recommend this place enough or more specifically Jim Gleason. You see in…read more2014 I had an AVM brain rupture and am considered mentally disabled . Well after not being able to drive for 3 years after my brain surgery i decided to give driving a shot with the "driving program" at a local hospital which turned out to be a SCAM because the "therapist" never even took me behind the wheel after a 6 month program (BEFORE THE DRIVE TEST). So at the time my parents helped me find this place , a place that would work with someone with a disability and it just so happened to turn out that Jim Gleason pulls up and we had a little reunion with my parents after literally not seeing Jim since I was like 17! I am 40 now. Anyway point here is that Jim is SO patient and motivating and more than that he's understanding . Just wanted to boast about this man because this is the 2nd time in a span of around 23 years that he helped me regain my freedom , confidence , a job and because of him I am able to drive to work church or where ever I need to be! THANK YOU JIM I'll never forget you. I came on here 9 YEARS later because someone on the SM community page is asking for recommendations for a good driving school and so I had to show some love. I'm SO appreciative! Picture was taken in 2017 when I passed my 2nd driving test (IN THE RAIN!) with the help of Jim Gleason at American Driving School.

I told them this was unacceptable and that I would be contacting the BBB. About 5 minutes later "the owner" who refused to provide his name, called me and cussed me out, called me a "little b***h" and told me to "go f*** myself 5 or 6 times" I would never trust these people to drive your kids around. Absolutely disgusting excuse of a business. Edit - So apparently the owner's name is Frank. @Frank, regarding your response, no one was nasty to your staff, nor did I curse at you once. You have a screw loose, but you do you. If you think that publicly acknowledging that you took the time to pick up the phone and call one of your customers to cuss them out is a good look for your company then more power to you. It is not hard for me to imagine why it would be hard for someone like you to retain your staff - I feel sorry for the people in your charge. Edit #2 - LOL at the owner editing his first response. Buddy needs to learn some self-control. Glad my kid did not wind up in one of his cars!

The instructor will show up to your house for pickup and will take the student for a 1-on-1 driving lesson from there. The exception to this would be the final lesson before the scheduled behind-the-wheel test IF you live far from the DMV location the test is at. They want to maximize the behind-the-wheel time, so if you live far from your DMV test location like I do, you'll have a set meetup spot. The lessons are 2 hours. I want to give an extra shoutout to Bill, who was amazing and very personable with my son! My son liked all of his instructors, but Bill was his standout favorite.

It was worth every penny because our son passed his driving test on his first try. Chelsea at the front desk was wonderful in answering all of our questions and helping us with scheduling lessons. We would receive reminder emails and texts ahead of time and it was easy to contact the school over the phone whenever we needed to reschedule. Our son was initially a very nervous driver, but Andrew quickly put him at ease and steadily built his confidence. Our son always looked forward to his lessons with Andrew. After each lesson, we would receive an email linked to their portal with a detailed report card on what was covered during the lesson, how our son performed, and what areas he needed to focus on. It was very helpful for us to be able to monitor our son's progress each time he drove with Andrew so that we knew what we needed to concentrate on when he drove with us. We highly recommend Poway Driving School to anyone embarking on their driving journey. Thank you so much for all of your help, Chelsea and Andrew!
