Thank you Micheal for the amazing lessons he gave me, very good teacher and an excellent role model. Gave me the confidence to pass my test. I passed it with no sweat and will continue to always look over my shoulder!
This is an amazing driving school. Courteous, professional, punctual, and easy to work with. My sons instructor was Nick and have to say we got a 5 start experience. Nick was friendly and patient, he really fostered the concept of making driving fun but safe through his training. Highly recommend!
Great Service, communication and cost. They got our son ready for the driving test. He passed first try and he had minimal driving experience to start. Would recommend.
Advantage driving school not only prepared me for my test but also made me a better driver. Giving me all sorts of tips and tricks to improve my skills as well as making me more comfortable to drive. All of my instructors were very sociable and outgoing making my experience not awkward at all. I cannot thank advantage enough.
I worked with Devin.G, when he first picked me up I was very nervous and not that good with driving essentially, but he helped me build confidence to be on the road. He was a wonderful instructor very professional but is a funny and friendly person. He Really made driving fun for me, if you’re thinking about advantage I recommend!
I'm writing this review together with my son Dominic (who passed his DMV driving test on his first try!). As a parent, I'm very happy to work with Nick, he's very confident and knowledgeable, so easy to talk to, and was very patient with my son. He's not only teaching him to pass the DMV test, but also including a lot of safety lessons/precautions in real-life driving. My son Dom's comments were "Nick's driving lessons were very comfortable and informative. I didn’t stress out while driving with him but he also made sure to tell me things that I needed to do for the test or in general. I also liked how at the end of the sessions, he clearly describes how I did and what areas are need of improvement.". - We highly recommend Nick and Advantage Driving School. Thanks Nick!
