Jan 21st, 2026 Update: I have officially passed my licensure course with Freedom 2 Drive! We took 3 more lessons before actually taking the licensure course though. Mr. Mackey was definitely a big help, he was always providing tips and information where it was needed. And was still cracking jokes! He also helped us build a lot confidence behind the wheel, which was certainly a hurdle for myself in particular. My stance on Freedom 2 Drive is still the same as the 1-on-1 course; I'd strongly recommend it for new or inexperienced drivers! Thank you Freedom 2 Drive! And thank you Mr. Mackey! Oct 12th, 2025: A very good driving school, My 1 on 1 course taught me to drive well. Only after a few hours in 1 weekend with Mr. Mackey, and I have had a immediate improvement in my driving! Mr. Mackey is a very kind instructor who likes to crack jokes. He's very kind, encouraging, and understanding. For the 1 on 1 course, I strongly recommend, and worth the price.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding job Mr. Mackey from Freedom 2 Drive Driving School did. Your patience, clear explanations, and calm, encouraging approach made a tremendous difference in my daughter’s learning experience. You consistently went the extra mile to ensure Erzel truly understood both the rules of the road and developed the confidence needed to drive safely. Thanks to your dedication and support, she finally earned her driver’s license, and we couldn’t be more grateful. It is clear that you genuinely care about your students’ success, and that makes all the difference. Thank you for your excellent instruction, professionalism, and commitment.
I had such a marvelous experience with this driving school and I couldn’t recommend it enough. I took the one-week driving course and successfully passed my test, which truly speaks to how effective and supportive the instruction is. Mr. Mackey was my driving instructor, and he was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging throughout the entire process. He explained everything clearly, helped build my confidence behind the wheel, and made sure I felt prepared every step of the way. His teaching style is calm, professional, and truly reassuring exactly what you need when learning to drive. If you or anyone you know is looking for quality driving lessons with an instructor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend choosing this school and asking for Mr. Mackey. I’m very grateful for the experience!
We found Mr. Mackey’s school on google. My son had almost no experience a we needed someone patient to teach him. He learnt so much with Mr. Mackey and feels more confident now. He even drove on the interstate! I definitely recommend Freedom2Drive.
Mr. Mackey is an exceptional driving instructor—knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly flexible with scheduling. His calm and supportive approach helped ease my daughter’s anxiety about driving, and after just two lessons, she was confidently driving on the highway. He offers clear, constructive feedback in a kind and encouraging way, making the learning experience both effective and positive. I’m looking forward to having him teach my son next. I highly recommend Freedom 2 Drive to anyone looking for a top-quality driving school.
