Honestly the best experience I’ve had, I come from the generation of DMV driver test, from going inside to the actual test everyone was very helpful and friendly. Staff are all amazing, service was phenomenal and they beat the pricing of most other driving test. I have a breathalyzer in my car so they allowed me to use my vehicle for my test.
I had a pretty good experience with my instructor. She was very informative and helpful through the test. Very calm and her directions were easy to follow. The test was quick and easy with the instructor
Business not with the BBB. Unsafe and unprofessional company
I’m posting this because what I witnessed Friday was dangerous and completely unacceptable for any driving school. If you’re looking for a driving school for your teen or for anyone in your family, do not use this company.
I watched one of their instructors with his head down in his phone for miles while the older adult asain woman behind the wheel made unsafe lane changes without checking mirrors or looking over her shoulder. At a red light, when it turned green, the student floored the accelerator with no correction or guidance from the instructor. My wife and I had been considering this school for our teen, but after seeing an instructor ignore basic safety and let a student drive like that, absolutely not. We want our teen learning safe habits — not picking up dangerous ones from a distracted instructor.
When I tried calling the school to report what I saw, the person who answered was extremely difficult to understand as they were a foreigner with heavy accent. She got irritated with me for asking for clarification due to me not being able to understand her, and then hung up on me when I asked to speak to a manager. I called back two more times and was hung up on again. No manager, no accountability, no interest in hearing about a serious safety issue. Just attitude and hang‑ups. Im in my native country where English is the primary language snd yet she had the nerve to get mad at me because I couldn't understand her.
This whole experience felt shady and unprofessional. If this is how they handle safety concerns and customer calls, I can only imagine how little oversight their instructors actually have. It seems like they’re more focused on checking a box that someone was “behind the wheel” than providing real, safe training. Seems like a business for foreigners to "get their license" without really learning safe driving skills.
Fully research any driving school before trusting them with your loved ones. Based on what I saw Friday, I would never put a new driver in a car with this company.
I personally LOVED this place I took 3 private lessons and learned so many skills. My instructor Michael was very respectful and kind, never made me feel bad about any mistakes. You can tell that this place truly does care about it's making people better drivers and not just the money. 10/10 place!
Rhonda has a lot of patience and is very kind. She did a great job of explaining things and made the process as easy as possible for us. She is very knowledgeable about her job and the DMV.
Great experience for test only!
We were left hanging with our PREVIOUS driving school closing, so we booked a test here with no previous knowledge or experience of this place and had a great experience. I wish we would’ve done our entire drive school with them!

Patient and thorough
My daughter just took her driving test with Tim in Colorado Springs. He was patient and calm and thoroughly discussed her results and explained our next steps. Highly recommend!
The teachers made it very easy to learn and not boring, they were chill and made me confident about being a driver. They also made the rules very clear and kept me engaged.
