If you’re thinking of hiring this company do it, give them a call ask all the questions they are so helpful. My daughter’s driver instructor Gilbert is amazing very professional, knowledgeable, kind and patient I can keep going on how great he is with these kids. I felt at ease with knowing that Gilbert has so much experience.

Worst and most unprofessional business ever. Don’t waste time with them!

Booked my sons first lesson, and it was really easy. It only costs $99.00. The total will be $297 for 6 hours. They did not ask for that amount upfront, which helps with my budget. I received an email with the receipt. Mark was very helpful in getting registered. He said they only require $99.00 for the first lesson. I believe 3 lessons for a total of 6 hrs is a great deal! I did my research. My son will be driving with Gilbert. There is no added fees unless you cancel with no advance notice or if you need them to pick up the student driver. My son is going to either walk or take an Uber to the school. There is no indication of insurance fees. They just said for my son to arrive and bring his permit. I'm looking forward to hearing how it all went with my son.

I had a great experience with this driving school! I did 4 hours of driving with Instructor Gilbert, and he was fantastic — patient, clear, and very knowledgeable. He made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. The total cost was $260, and it was well worth it, especially since I received my certificate at the end of the session. Highly recommend this school if you’re looking for quality instruction and a smooth process!

Look at the reviews before you proceed also! Update to their reply: You wanted a resolution on your terms when you’re the one that made the mistake. We drove 1.25 hours to see you out of all the schools and got childcare taken care of for TODAY when we scheduled. I told you the obstacles I had and you agreed that you can fulfill. You kept on insisting to drive up there when I kept on repeating I had a kid and then you stated that was my issue. A refund didn’t solve my time wasted and ended in more family stress's due to the deployment you were aware of. When I mess up I go the extra mile for my clients. Obviously you don’t since I did ask you for an extra hour to compensate my troubles you caused. I even asked you for a reduced cost on the next lesson and you said no because your business was doing bad. With that I can see why! Hope you have a great day and fix the issues on your end that you weren’t taking the blame for. We spoke to Mark on the phone. I was clear with him that I needed to take the day off a military assignment to get my wife to the appointment. We showed up on time and they schedule someone else instead. We drove 1.5 hours here from Jamul and even had child care taken care of. When talking to Mark he wouldn’t solve the problem. I gave him a solution but wanted to talk over me and do it on his own terms. He told me the childcare was my problem and not his. By far the poorest experience I’ve had in the United States of America. They don’t care about military members and that they’re about to go on a deployment. We wasted three hours of our day and $50 on gas to drive here. We had to argue for a refund. Worst business in San Diego in my 6 years of being assigned here.

Answer: Your business obviously has integrity issues. If we were lying as business owners, we wouldn't take the time to review a huge mistake you made that was easily resolved. My husband told you that if you gave us a discount, we'd be happy to return it because he has to miss work. Something you already knew! Please take responsibility for your failure. That's why you have 2.5 stars on Yelp, and we'll gladly post the photo. You were given the opportunity to drive for 6 hours for $250 for the time we lost and the lack of professionalism on your part in not providing us with the service. You told my husband that you didn't care about the poor rating and went ahead. That speaks volumes about your business and lack of quality. Best regards. A huge disappointment and lack of professionalism. We scheduled an appointment and arrived on time, but we weren't seen. We drove an hour and a half after being up all night, all for the owner to be rude to my husband on the phone. I feel like I'm downplaying it because he's of Mexican descent. We had evidence that it was their fault, and they wouldn't give us a solution. We also fought for a refund. In short, they put us in a worse situation than we were in. Don't do business with this place.
