I cannot express enough how amazing Dino is. He is very knowledgeable, patient kind and just an amazingly great instructor. I took three lessons with him before my road test and I passed. He gives excellent tips for parallel parking. I was so worried and was sure I would fail before taking the lessons with him! Ask for Dino every single time.

Report
I Scheduled an appointment for a certain time and got an annoying amount of calls 30 minutes before my appointment with the driving yelling at me asking about my location, changing the appointment plans, and telling me what I needed to do. The conversation was very confusing and uncomfortable and they will continue to call back to back, even if you are unable to answer. For new drivers, yelling at them is unacceptable- that obviously isn't a proper method of speaking to any student. I wouldn't recommend what so over, I've been to other driving schools that are better coordinated and more understanding, try to look into others.

The owner is a nice lady, but the one who took me for driving lesson is a joke. Literally at one point arguing with me. Id hate to take a job away from an elderly lady, but she is quite simply unqualified for this job.

These people are so unprofessional. They scheduled an appointment for me at 1pm and never called or showed up. I call after 30 mins and the lady said she would call the driver and tell him to call me. After an hour still no call then after 2hours I ask for the guy number and he said there's a line for the road test and that I have to have my appointment canceled. Mind you I wasn't even scheduled for a road test I was scheduled for driving lessons.
No one told me anything on time and if everything went as scheduled then there shouldn't of been a reason for my appointment to get rescheduled! I have NO idea why this place has 4 stars and good ratings at all
