Donna was so nice and able to work with my athlete's busy schedule. She is amazing and I'd request her if you can. She is out of Plainfield office.

Steve was my daughter's instructor. He was outstanding and helped my very nervous daughter pass her driving test with ease. Many thanks!

Mark Droba was my driving instructor. He helped me really improve my driving skills as he was very patient and always made me laugh which helped calm me down on all my drives.

Inaccurate information on their website led me to sign online for a package. A couple days later my instructor told me he was too busy to include me in his schedule. When I was able to talk to someone, she said they're not teaching adults. After cancelling the course they kept $25.00 fee. Overall a really bad experience, don't waste your money!

My wife used Excel Driving School and we couldn't be happier with the experience, the instructor was always timely and did an excellent job at teaching her all the ins and outs of driving in the US.

Excel driving school is more expensive than their competitors. I enrolled my child because it was close to home. One thing I learned to late was that they require parents to teach their children to drive for the first 10 hours behind the wheel. No other competitor requires this, and it seems crazy to me that the first 10 hours will be done by a parent instead of a trained professional.:not to mention who has the time. They should put that front and center in their program before you sign up.

Our experience with Excel Driving School was a very positive one. Leo was recommended to us by a few different families and we are glad we chose him. The entire process was actually stress free.

We had an awesome experience with Excel for my daughter to be able to get her license when she turned 16. Everything was easy to understand and requirements fully communicated. Instructors were great, and lots of flexibility with class schedules. 5 out of 5 for sure!

My daughter's instructor was great! His explanation of all that we needed to complete the course was thorough. He had a good personality - patience, humor, kindness. He made my daughter comfortable with her driving lessons. Thank you!

My son's Behind-the-wheel instructor, Leo, was great! He was friendly and knowledgeable; always willing to answer any questions I had and explained everything very thoroughly. I'm very confident in my son's ability to drive. It was a great experience completing driver's ed at Excel.

Our two daughters took summer courses at Excel at the same time. Classroom instruction was thorough and serious. Their driving instructor, Leo Grach, was excellent. His professIonal approach and quick rapport, great communication, and knowledge pushed them through to test time. Scheduling and suggestions were great. We bought a package and it was exactly what we got with no surprises.

We could not have gotten the 50 hours driving experience per student into a school semester. Going with Excel, we planned ahead to take a year. It let the kids learn in good weather and practice in all weathers. And, it opened up a spot in the kids' course schedules.

I took behind the wheel lessons with Joseph, who was a great instructor. He was motivating and helpful when understanding and remembering maneuvers. I passed my driving test on the first try!

The reason I give excel driving school 4 stars is because although the employees are polite, they were unorganized in the beginning with scheduling drives. In the end Sandie was very accommodating with helping me complete my drives and expediting forms so I can obtain my drivers license. I also appreciate the help from both drivers ed teachers hemsa and Leo.

We had a wonderful experience going with Excel driving school. Everyone is very friendly and accomodating to your specific needs whatever they may be. My son's driving instructor was Rick Osbourne. He was absolutely terrific. So nice! My son felt very comfortable with him from the start which set the stage for the rest of the driving lessons. (so important for a new student driver.) Rick made it smooth, comfortable, and worry free for my son.

The classes were convenient with plenty of options for the busy teen. Can't make a class? No problem. You can simply reschedule it right online. There is nothing this company won't do to ensure you have a great experience. They even let you make affordable monthly payments throughout the time you are taking their classes/driving lessons. Thank you so much to the owner, girls at the front desk, the classroom instructors and last but not least, the driving instructor. You made my son's experience a wonderful and memorable one. All the best to you.
