We have had 3 of our children go to this driving school and have been so happy with their success. We will be sending our other 2 children there. Very professional. The driving instructor is awesome!!
NM driving academy staff is very friendly to parents and students. Doing this they help students learn in an encouraging environment, which is a far better experience than how my first kid learned from another business. I plan to send my remaining kids and all of my in state nieces and nephews here for a better learning experience. Update: Youngest is now in class and Mr Perea is still friendly, professional, and a great teacher. Still planning to send my nieces and nephews that live in state.
Both of our Son's attended NM Academy of Driving. The instructor, Benjamin, is so kind and friendly. He's also very personable and has a wonderful sense of humor. Both of our Son's really enjoyed the class sessions and the time they spent with the instructor driving. I'm so glad we choose this driving school. Our Son's learned a lot. I highly recommend this Academy.
I was very happy that my daughter (Gabby Trujillo) had a chance to tell about her experience in the “Santa Fe New Mexican” newspaper. Although it was during Covid and all of the class time was done online, her instructor made it easy to keep the students engaged with his outgoing but professional personality. I’m definitely gonna sign up my son next year when he’s old enough to attend driving school based on our experience!! I totally recommend anyone to NMAD!
My son attended class here a couple years ago. Last year, I ended up with covid and have been dealing with long term health issues so I am unable to drive. My son stepped up and has been driving me around and running errands for me. I am quite impressed with his driving ability and safety!! Thank you Mr. Perea!! When the time comes, I will have my daughter attend here too. This is a great school and I definitely love how they worked with my son's schedule at the time. Highly recommend!!
