Racists! The female instructor who didn't even introduce herself is so mean. She makes u feel uncomfortable the whole time. She's impatient and yells. They act as though you're not paying. The gentleman I forgot his name is great and makes you feel comfortable. He actually gives good instructions. I wish I hadn't have gone to ABIX it's actually the worse experience ever.

Amazing. I'm 21 and was really terrified of driving but from testing to driving everyone at Abix was super helpful and nice. Also the least expensive in pretty much the whole city, which is a plus. HIGHLY recommend to anyone, especially people who are nervous about learning. 5 star experience!

My son and daughter attended ABIX Driving Academy recently and both loved it. The teachers were friendly and professional. We weren't forced or even asked to pay in cash, but were offered several payment options, I used my credit card. I read a review that said otherwise, from my experience this is simply not true. As for scheduling drives, they offer drives 7 days a week, so there was no problem whatsoever. They are willing to work around school and work schedules. If you are looking for a friendly, professional driving school that is not over priced, I highly recommend ABIX Driving Academy.

I love this driving school! They work with you, and it was the best driving school I've ever experienced. They teach you everything from the different signs to parallel parking and reverse parking. They are the best driving school with the best prices, driving teachers, and owners. I highly suggest people to attend this driving school.

Great driving school. Highly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to learn the rules of driving and proper behind-the-wheel technics. This school offers efficient scheduling to complete both required classroom and driving hours within a very short time frame. After my daughter completed her drivers course she told her friends and we have sent many students to ABIX, with no regrets!!

All of the instructors at Abix are friendly and professional. They are calm and willing to do whatever it takes to make you a good and safe driver. My granddaughter took the class and learned way more about driving and the rules than we expected. She had never driven before and now she is confident and a safe driver. We highly recommend this driving school to our friends and anyone else who needs to take a drivers ed class.
