I had a great experience with Wilco Driving School. The customer service was amazing from start to finish,everyone was friendly, helpful, and made the whole process easy to understand. A special thank you to the instructor, Victor, who went above and beyond while working with my daughter. He made her feel comfortable and confident during her driving test, which really helped calm her nerves. His patience and encouraging attitude made a big difference, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his students' success. Overall, I highly recommend Wilco Driving School to anyone looking for a supportive and professional learning environment. read more

Mikhail is an excellent instructor, I can't say enough good things about him. He put my son at ease for his lesson and road test and gave him great instruction. The only reason I cannot give 5 stars is because of the back office side of things. The website has some terrible bugs about it that make it difficult to manage. There is also one person in the office staff who is borderline rude. read more

Road test experience was just as great. My daughter felt very comfortable, which I was a little concerned at first having to drive a Wilco driving school car. They spent time explaining all the car features and then doing a quick run through while driving before the test. Would highly recommend. read more

My son used Wilco Driving School for his road test. We selected the package with a 30 minute lesson included. The experience was fantastic and stress free! Even better, they helped us submit the paperwork to the DPS saving us a trip there. I highly recommend using this company. read more

I went to Wilco Driving School for my appointment today at 11:00. I was so stressed since my last driving test was in 1978! I had recently went to a DPS office and the tester intimidated me so bad I failed my test. Today, Victor did my road test and he was awesome! He was patient and went over things that were important before he started the test. I passed my road test and at 5:00 I had an appt with DPS and I got my license! Thank you so much Wilco and Victor! I needed by license for work so it was so important to me. This was a great experience! Thank you Tammi Preston read more

I selected the school for my daughters driving test based on the excellent yelp reviews and I must add mine to the bunch. We did the parent taught driving hours so came here just for the test and had a wonderful experience with Victor. He was patient and informative with my daughter during her test and we left, very happy. They were helpful and getting the permit changed to a license via the Tex dot program. I would highly recommend this school for your driving test! read more

I have had two sons take their driver's test here. Wilco's hour of instruction followed by the test was a perfect option for both of them. My boys liked both of their instructions - Victor and Pete. Both my sons said their instructor was helpful and calm. My youngest son particularly liked Pete. read more

My name is Larry Delagarza and my son recently went through the Wilco Driving School and it was an awesome experience as a parent. My son is a 16-year-old junior at McNeil high school and I highly recommend taking your son or daughter to the Wilco Driving School. I would especially like to call out MS. Veronica Brown who is the lead administrative assistant for handholding me and my wife throughout the entire process which was very seamless and easy to complete. Thank you Veronica for the great customer service you provided Larry delafarza read more

Wilco Driving School - Santiago passed his driving test with flying colors. - Driving Schools Near Me - Cedar Park, Texas

HIGHLY recommend this driving school. After a horrible experience with another pace, we hesitantly signed up for lessons at Wilco. It's a little pricier than our first attempt but well worth it. You get what you pay for. Great staff, great instructors. An overall wonderful experience. Thank you!!! read more

I walked in as an anxious adult student and I walked out as a confident driver. Can't thank Coach Victor enough!

I was so nervous and probably freaked out the tester but I pulled through. Great service,straight to the point! Right after I went to get my license! read more

Great place to take driving test. Low anxiety. Wonderful people. Extremely helpful. I completely recommend this school. I only needed the test but i would expect my examiner to be great at teaching too from the way he helped me in the pre-test drive and during the test. He seemed scary at first, like a drill sergeant, but i was so wrong. read more

This is the best driving school in Austin! My son had extreme anxiety about driving, so much so that he kept putting it off, even well after he turned 18. I chose Wilco Driving School because of their stellar reviews. Sometimes reviews aren't reliable, but in this case, the reviews were definitely accurate! My son took lessons from Mr. Vinklarek, who is a phenomenal instructor. Mr. V's professional, yet calm and friendly demeanor, really put my son at ease from the very first lesson! My son's anxiety quickly faded away, as he gained the confidence to do one of the hardest and most important things a person can do! If you are apprehensive about driving or if you simply want a solid foundation to be a very competent driver, I highly recommend Wilco Driving School. The office staff is also as great as the instructors. Ms. Veronica provided excellent customer service. She answered all of my questions in a timely manner and really helped me navigate through the process of getting a license. I have two other children who will be taking lessons very soon, at my son's recommendation. He really enjoyed the learning process because the folks at Wilco truly care about ensuring a positive experience. If you have any issues, they will resolve them happily and quickly! My son not only took lessons, but he also took the driving test at Wilco, which was smooth and stress free. We did not have to wait or endure the lines at DPS. We are very, very satisfied customers! read more

Great experience with my daughter taking her drivers test here! Will definitely use again for my son.

Easy to book, excellent teachers, friendly staff. Highly recommend for your teen driver to hone their skills and take their driving test!

I took my son here to take his driving test. The ENTIRE process from scheduling the test until we went to DPS was simple, fast, smooth, and an overall great experience. I was able to schedule the test for the same day!! Veronica in the office was super friendly and very helpful! She was prompt in getting out paperwork filled out and ready for the test. The Coach even gave my son a brief lesson prior to the test. Victor made my son feel very comfortable when taking the test which really improved his confidence and helped to relieve his test anxiety. He was very patient with my son and did an excellent job explaining things to him. I highly recommend this school not only for third party testing but also for driving lessons. The staff is absolutely wonderful! read more

Wilco driving school is AWESOME!!! We completed Parent Taught Drivers Ed, but I felt more practice and additional insight would benefit my daughter. When I reached out to Wilco Driving School, I was immediately impressed. They were super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful! I booked 3 lessons with the INCREDIBLE Coach Pete! Coach Pete did an amazing job of teaching my daughter all the tools that she needs to be successful on the road. He also built up her confidence immensely!! I was astounded when she aced parallel parking on the first try with his instruction! I can't say enough good things about Wilco Driving School and Coach Pete! I very very highly recommend Wilco Driving School!! read more

Great people! They were great with both of my kids. My daughter took a few lessons and her driving test with them. My son took his driving test with them. Victor was great and put my son at ease during his exam. Highly recommend them! read more

Everything about this business makes a nerve wracking event easier. From their online booking and email reminders to the amazing, thoughtful and welcoming staff and instructors. My daughter did the one hour practice and road test with Mrs. Cooper. She put my daughter at ease and took an interest in her being a safe, smart and alert driver. From the second we walked in the door we were greeted with professionalism and courtesy. Only reason I give them 5 stars is because I can't give them more. My daughter was prepared but nervous and anxious and they helped her relax and be a better driver. 1000% would recommend this business to anyone. read more

My son has been taking lessons with Coach Pete. His calm easy going demeanor puts you at ease right away. I felt confident he would be a great instructor, and he has. I highly recommend Wilco Driving School, and especially Coach Pete. read more

My daughter took 6 lessons to hone in on her driving skills and the test. Victor was her instructor and he was AMAZING. Put my daughter at ease as well as me. If I had known how great Wilco Driving School was I would have done all her drivers ed through them. Scheduling was super easy and the office staff was awesome too. Definitely recommend them and Victor. read more

There was huge waiting in DPS for the road test so I decided to give it through a third party school. So one of the most famous in Austin is Austin driving school, So I called them, called them again then again and again and again but they never call back or schedule anything for you. HORRIBLE MANAGEMENT. Then I did some research and came to know about WILCO DRIVING SCHOOL. Got an appointment online and went there for the test. Mr. Lusby (Richard) and his wife were super helpful and polite. 1st Richard explained me all the rules and also let me did a trial run on his car which he uses for road test and also let me do a trial parallel park. Also he explains everything when you do a trail test and parallel park. I passed the test and got my permit very next day :) Highly Recommend WILCO DRIVING SCHOOL. read more

Richard and his people do a tremendous job running this driving school. My instructor Pete was solid. For a first time driver, he taught me the key techniques every driver should know. The entire process was amazingly smooth. I signed up for the 3 in-car private lessons + DPS Road Test package. Scheduling the lessons and the road test was super easy. They are very prompt and clear with their responses so feel free to ask any questions you you might have. I did everything online. Within a week, I was done with all my lessons and successfully passed the road test. Even if you pass the test, Richard will still let you know about your shortcomings. He will explain you each point deduction in details and tell you where you need to work on making sure you drive safe on the road. I have researched other driving schools in Austin but this one was worth every penny! read more

My daughter had to take the road test when I called to ask questions they were courteous and helpful in answering my questions. I was able to schedule an appointment and get her in to take the test within that week. Michelle was extremely nice and professional with my daughter. With there help, it was a quick and easy process. read more

Wilco driving school is AMAZING!!!! Veronica was so kind, understanding and helpful. We called the day prior to schedule a test due to our missing a piece of info required for the driving test previously scheduled with DPS. Veronica guided me through the system to book the first available appointment and also provided guidance as to how to reschedule with DPS to get your license the following day. Veronica is AWESOME!! Mrs. Cooper the driving instructor was amazing. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you for making our day!!! read more

Wilco Driving School is so great. I'm so glad I decided to do the one hour lesson before the test. The owner, Richard, was kind and patient with my daughter and made the whole experience wonderful. Veronica was also great and made our DPS appointment for us! I highly recommend this school. Hope Pete feels better soon!! read more

Bad experience for my young driver. Her teacher, "Ms. Cooper" lacked people skills and the overall ability to maintain a healthy teaching environment within the vehicle during the 1 hour lesson and then the driving test following the lesson. Comments like, "Oh God" being muttered under her breath while my new driver was performing. Worked one hour on "hand over hand" turns....all the while knowing there were many skills that were lacking. Older teacher that lacked enjoyment and enthusiasm for young drivers...unapproachable, condescending, unsupportive, and "angry" according to my daughter. More importantly as a safety concern, our family can not believe they passed our daughter. She is not ready to drive. There are many areas she needs improvement on. To allow someone with her skills to pass a driving test is reckless. We don't believe a reputable driving school would pass our daughter and feel this is a valid concern how she was allowed to pass when all they worked on was hand over hand turning skills and drove primarily in a neighborhood. Business owner was given the opportunity to hear feedback. Argumentative, defensive, deflective, and continuously asked, "What do you want me to do about it...?" Passive aggressive, unwilling to genuinely acknowledge the concern, did however go through the motions of trying to say the right thing but coming up short with each attempt. Conversation ended thankfully after 18 minutes of hearing excuse after excuse and realizing it was pointless to bring a customer concern to this business manager who had little knowledge on how to handle a complaint to the satisfaction of the customer. It is a learned skill and this manager has yet to learn how to properly address a customer concern. If you want a quality driving education and have concerns about ensuring your new driver is critiqued on the side of safety, stay away from this place. Waste of time. We will be re-enrolling our driver at a reputable place (there are many) that identifies the deficiencies in the spirit of safety and actually can teach in a motivating and supportive manner. read more

Richard is the nicest driving instructor! He went out of his way to help ensure my son to get his test done that day! He even called me later that day to check on how the DPS went and if my son got his license. Highly recommend going to Wilco! read more

Fantastic, fantastic, fantastic! Got recommendation to have my daughter do her driving test with a third party from a friend. The practice and then test with Richard was very calming and informative for my daughter. Even more important for me was them checking all of my documents before even going to the DPS/DMV. Saved us a return trip for sure. They had a wifi printer right there for me to print off the form I needed from my phone! They sealed all her documents in an envelope and going to DPS/DMV was a breeze. From driving test appointment with Wilco to driver's license in hand was just under 2 hours. Definitely worth it! Very nice, knowledgeable and friendly! Will be using for my son when it is his turn FOR SURE! read more

Richard was so amazing. I had a ton of questions by phone before my son got his driver's license. He walked me through the steps, then was so amazing with my son as he practiced and took the driving test. Wow! I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. read more

Third party testing may be the best thing since sliced bread! Richard and team are the antithesis of going to the DPS. Helpful, kind, and genuinely caring about their students/clients. Thank you guys! You turned a dreaded task into a great experience. read more

My 16 year old son took his driving test with Wilco Driving School versus DPS. The owners went above and beyond any expectations that I may have had. The website is very easy to use and scheduling his drive test was quick and pain free. It's a very different atmosphere from DPS. You aren't stressed out when you arrive, there was no waiting in lines, and more importantly...the instructor really spent time with my son answering any questions he had and even did a "practice run" so he was familiar with their car and the area. Without a doubt, my son's anxiety took a backseat to his new found confidence thanks to the instructor. We will be using Wilco Driving School for my younger children for sure. read more

My son and I had a great experience with this driving program. They were friendly, accommodating with driving times and genuinely interested in my son's success. I highly recommend this company if you need assistance in your child's driving skills development! read more

I failed the driving test at the Pflugerville DPS because the third brake light was out. They said the soonest they could get me in was a month. After doing some searching I found Wilco Driving School. It said they are certified to give the driving test. We scheduled the test for the next day and were greeted by the instructor, Richard. He gave me a practice run on the test and parallel parking. He talked me through the test which really helped. The DPS won't do any of that. This family-owned company is the reason why I got my license the next day. read more
