American Driving Academy

I had worried about who testing with and if that would make me more nervous, Dolores made my experience super comfortable! She helped ease my nerves talked me through the process, and she was super nice for so early in the morning. I’m supper grateful for the experience! And I passed!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an amazing experience with American Driving Academy, and especially with my instructor Carmen. She was incredibly professional, patient, and knowledgeable. Carmen made everything easy to understand and helped me feel confident behind the wheel. Her calm and supportive teaching style truly made a difference. I highly recommend American Driving Academy and strongly recommend Carmen to anyone looking to learn how to drive the right way.

My experience today was perfect. Miss Chelsea is a very fun person and I had a good time with her. She answered all my questions before and after and she made me feel comfortable and definitely less nervous throughout the entirety of my test. I would definitely recommend you schedule with her.

Honestly, I can’t recommend Curtis enough! From the very first moment, he made me feel completely relaxed and confident during my driving test. He explains everything clearly, is incredibly patient, and knows exactly how to help you pass without stress. Professional, calm, and super friendly ,you can tell he truly loves what he does. Thanks to him, I passed my test easily! If you’re looking for the best instructor out there, Curtis is the one. Thank you again, Curtis. You’re the best! 🚗💯👏!

I CAN NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE I’ve been driving in the United States for over six years with only a driving permit, but I recently decided to get my real driver’s license. I made an appointment at American Driver Academy in Aurora, Colorado (in the same shopping center as “El Compadre”) and paid $95 for the test. My appointment was for 3:30 p.m., but they didn’t attend to me until 3:50 p.m. — which I found very disrespectful of my time, but I stayed patient and said nothing. An older lady came out to do my test. She was very unfriendly and didn’t smile once. We went for the drive, and when we finished, she asked how my experience was. I told her I thought it went well. She said everything was fine, except that I went through a yellow light, and because of that, she failed me. I explained that I was only following the same instructions I received years ago when I got my permit — that crossing a yellow light is legal as long as it’s safe. But she insisted that I didn’t pass just because of that. To me, this feels like a scam and a disrespect to people’s time and money. Failing someone for a yellow light is unreasonable, especially when it’s not against the rules. I feel cheated and disappointed by this academy. It’s not about the $100 — it’s about how unfairly they treat people. I was planning to send my employees here to take their tests, but after this experience, I’ll make sure to tell them not to go. Unfortunately, I can’t recommend this place.
