I had a great experience here! I was able to get my license within a month, which I really appreciated. While personally, I find it a bit pricey, but I do feel like it’s worth the investment. For pricing, preparing and taking you to take the writing/permit exam costs $150, plus an additional $25 that you pay inside the Secretary of State office. Driving sessions are $100 for each 2-hour lesson. They also provide a study guide to help you prepare, but it can only be used in the school’s office—you’re not able to take it home. I was fortunate enough to pass my road test on the first try. The fee to use their car and take the road test is $250, so it’s definitely something to be prepared for. If you don’t pass the first time, you may have to pay that fee again. Overall, I’d recommend making sure you feel confident and ready before scheduling your test, and trusting your instructor’s judgment on when you’re truly ready.

I had an excellent experience with Ruiz Driving School. The entire process was seamless and professional from start to finish. My instructor, Carolina, was exceptionally patient and friendly, which made a significant difference in my learning. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking to build confidence and overcome the fear of driving.

Honestly couldn’t ask for better instructors as they really took their time to teach us everything we need to know especially while on the road. Arnold, sergio, and gorge did an amazing job ensuring we were ready and made sure we weren’t done until that the license was finally ours. I recommend this school, and trust the all as they know what the are doing.
