Doug is a very helpful and kind instructor. He is patient and very chill. I struggled with parking and he guided me through it.

This is a great driving school. I started with literally no experience and got comfortable after about 4 lessons. I failed my first road test because I wasn't clearly looking when driving. I took my second test today and passed. Doug is awesome 😎

It is a reliable and highly professional driving school. My driver (Doug) gave me many tips and suggestions which helped me clear my road test in my first attempt. Also, he used cones to setup space to teach Parallel parking and 90 degree reverse parking just like in the actual exam which made it easier for me in the actual exam. All in all, I would recommend this driving school.

All the classes were great, especially with Doug, and I passed my permit test easily. I did my behind the wheels here too without any problems. Other reviews complain about their contracts expiring, but you have a year to complete everything before it expires. Just plan ahead, and it’s not really that big of a deal. Behind the wheel appointments are running out about a month as of right now, but that changes a lot. I had Jane twice, she was kind of blunt but I didn’t have any problems. Doug I had for one and he was very helpful with parking and was super nice. Overall, I really liked the program, it was quick and easy to navigate.

I highly recommend this driving school! We selected Main Street for the flexibility of their drop-in classroom schedule. Our son enjoyed the classes and Doug. The behind the wheel instructors are excellent. Our son was well prepared for both exams (permit and driver's). He passed them on his first try.
