Report
Top notch ! all are polite..on time.. actually care that you learn. can't say enough good things. we had originally dealt with a different school and their instructors were rude and didn't care barely looking to see what you were doing as they talked on their phones. it was a breath of fresh air to change and come to these people. this driving school is highly recommended as they are very professional and run their business excellent.
