I didn't take my driving school here when I went years ago. But Mr. Olbash was my history teacher and as a man in my mid 30s still consider him one of the best teacher I've ever had in an any educational or professional setting. Not sure why the few random negative reviews are here. But there's no doubt in my mind that you'll be happy going here and learn more than enough to make you a safe driver. You're the man Mr. O! I still remember what stone my class was named after

Mr. Olbash is all about observations, quick thinking, and timing! I remember he had me driving through Lynn over and over until he knew I was ready. He's also showed me the most pristine way on how to parallel park! He's worth every penny! Thank you Mr. Olbash!

We used Olbash School of Driving for my son and just signed up my second son. Wonderful to work with and a knowledgeable and supportive instructor. My son felt like he learned a great deal and was well prepared for his driver's test. I also appreciated the ease of scheduling and that you could arrange for the school to take them for their road test. Very happy!

My son took the class room prep and exam and the owner is refusing to supply the letter of completion trying to force us to use their road driving course. My other two children took Triad in Beverly and received their certificates of completion the day they passed the class.
