American Driving Academy Review
American Driving Academy Review
My son learned a lot and said he enjoyed the teachers. The location was easy to find and parking was convenient. My kid especially liked that there was a 7-11 nearby, so he could grab a snack during break. One improvement would be to clearly state somewhere on the website, that the driving education has no actual driving. Families pay for that separately and must wait until their kid has their permit before they can do the driving lessons. This would be helpful information for timing the DMV appointment. However, this was a minor thing of confusion on our part, other than this, American Driving Academy is a great driving school. My kid feels well prepared from just the class so far.

James at American Driving Academy is AMAZING. He took my son out for his driving test and made what could’ve been a stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. He was calm, respectful, and very supportive throughout the entire process. My son felt confident because of him, and that says everything. If you get James, you’re in great hands!
