Rhonda was absolutely amazing
Rhonda was absolutely amazing, even though I didnt do perfect she gave me pointers at the end. She was really nice overall through out the test. She gave me a piece of gum to calm my nerves and then had a nice talk from there. Really recommend her as she is accountable and reliable.

The driver test examiner was very patient
My english is not very good. when I failed my driving test first time, the first examiner Jassica patiently pointed out to me where i was wrong. when I passed my second road test, the second examiner Darrin Skur patiently told me how to go through the process of getting a driver's license.

Amazing test taking experience
I had Rick for a practice test and Darrin for the actual test. They were both very professional and friendly. The practice test really helped me pass the real test with flying colors.

A couple of days ago I passed my driving test, and I’m beyond happy because I had been afraid to get behind the wheel for almost 3 years. I was even scared to drive in a parking lot. After three years of fear, I finally decided to put an end to it.
When I scheduled my first lesson, I was extremely nervous — I didn’t know if I would like the instructor, if we would connect, or if he might take away my desire to drive. But thankfully I chose instructor Darrin. He made those 6 hours of driving truly unforgettable for me.
He was always calm, explained everything when I didn’t understand something, pointed out my mistakes and showed me how to do things better. He was always supportive, and by the end of the very first lesson I was already enjoying driving with him.
Then we had two more lessons, each two hours long, and it was amazing. We didn’t drive on the same roads — he always showed me new places.
Thank you for the “rollercoaster,” Mr. Darrin 😅 — that was unforgettable!
And the very next day after my last lesson, I went to take my driving test… and I PASSED!!!
An incredible experience, incredible emotions, and an incredible instructor. If you’re thinking about taking driving lessons, choose him — I guarantee you won’t regret it 😁

Rick was great for my interlock driving test
Rick was super nice and easy to communicate with. I was taking an interlock driving test and was nervous about not having taken a driving test in 22 years. He communicated well and pointed out a few things I didn’t know about before. Definitely use Rick for your interlock test!
