I cannot recommend John's Driving School in Fairless Hills enough. My son had a lesson with Tammy and tested with Mitch. Everyone, including the women at the front desk and the registration area, was professional and courteous.

The whole process from scheduling the driving test to the handling on the day of the test was handled very professionally. My daughter was at ease during the test and performed well thanks to how the person conducting the test was very courteous and affable. I highly recommend John's for your driving test - they were loads better than the DMV experience!

My son went here for driving lessons. They were punctual and very informative. He had a different instructor each time. They came to the house and introduced themselves upon arrival. After 3 classes he took the test at there testing site. I would highly recommend.

I used John's for driving school and to take my driving exam and they were great! They didn't make me nervous at all, they gave me helpful tips, and helped me with a few things that I wasn't the best at with driving. I had a great experience. Would recommend!

Got the New Driver package for my teenager and was very impressed with the driving lessons and test. My child had about 30 hours going into the first of the professional lessons. The instructors were knowledgeable and professional, arriving promptly and approaching the training in an organized manner. They did a great job making sure my child was skilled in lane changes, highway driving and parallel parking, and made sure he had all the driving details for the driving test.
On testing day, the driving test was right on time with a very calm and relaxed tester. Loved that we could use their car he had taken lessons with. Only criticism is the online drivers education platform they use. The lessons were pretty static and the tests had lots of typos. So impressed with the driving education we are looking at getting one of the Street Safe packages.

I highly recommend taking lessons and testing through johns. My instructor made me feel completely at ease during every lesson. Before I took lessons I was too nervous to even leave my development but my instructor Jen got me out of my comfort zone without pushing me to do anything I wasn't quite ready for. My confidence in driving has sky rocketed since my three six hour lessons and today I took my test through the school and passed first try. Well worth the money and I can't thank everyone enough.

I was a very nervous driver and avoided it as much as a could. My mom signed my up for 3 lessons with Jeanette "Jenny" Powers and she was incredibly patient, kind, understanding, the whole lot. I was incredibly prepared for the test and have gained so much confidence in my driving skills thanks to Jenny. She was fun to have conversations with while driving and made the whole experience super enjoyable.
I took my test with Mitch and he was incredible as well; very patient and kind. Mitch let's you take your time with parking and getting through their parking lot. 100% recommend practicing with Jenny and I'm sure Mitch would be a delight as well. John's Driving School was well worth the money.
