I couldn't be any happier with my experience with Shore Points Driving School. Al Bar was the best instructor. He is professional, keeps it simple, great parallel technique, and supportive. He gave me all the tools I needed to pass my drivers exam the first time. I have a younger brother who will also be driving soon and I will only use Al Bar. Thank you Al Bar for helping me pass my drivers test.

Rich Amberger was great. He responded to my messages quickly, was thorough with his explanation of how the process worked and was punctual for lessons. My 16 year old son, who was very nervous, said Rich was helpful and supportive and felt a lot better about his driving by the third lesson. We will definitely use Rich for the refresher course!

I can't say enough great things about this school, specifically my son's instructor Rick Amberger. My son was nervous and Rich made him feel at ease and confident. He come home after his first lesson and told me Rich was the best. He went for his license today and passed with ease. I will recommend to everyone and anyone who will listen to me. Thank you Rich for being an expert at what you do!

Rich Amberger is an amazing instructor! He taught three of my children and I will be calling him in a few months for my youngest daughter. He is a skilled, professional instructor that also provides students with confidence and kindness. Highly recommend!

Our experience with Shore Points Driving School was fantastic! Scheduling the 6-hour instruction was quick and easy. Pat Novak was thorough, efficient and patient. It was such a positive experience for my daughter working with him. Then the day of her road test, Rich Amberger came to the house and picked her up for a refresher lesson before the test. He reviewed and practiced all of the key points needed for a successful test.
He was professional, clear and easy to work with. He even took extra time to explain the process of getting the actual license after she passed. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you!

Great experience with Shore Points Driving School. Mike facilitated a convenient virtual program during the pandemic that equipped my son to score well on the written test. He then took the six hours of driving with Rich Amberger, whom I highly recommend. In addition to making scheduling the sessions convenient, Rich is a supportive teacher who gave my son more confidence as a new driver, along with lots of great practice techniques and tips. Much appreciated!
