We are impressed with this Driver Training Program. DJ was our sons instructor and he was great. He was professional, informative and accommodating. He wanted to make sure our son was practiced up before doing the next drive so he could advance to the next lesson. I would not hesitate to spend money on this program again. The only complaint I could have is they are a little hard to get ahold of on the phone. Busy being busy I guess. Thanks Streetwise... thanks DJ!
