VIVA DRIVING SCHOOL, INC. REVIEWS

David and the team at VIVA were very helpful and accommodating when trying to schedule my twin daughters’ driving lessons. We had a unique situation and David was patient and friendly as we worked thru scheduling challenges. Their driving instructors are very professional, knowledgeable and courteous and helped get my daughters on their path to their licenses.

I had a wonderful experience with viva driving school, they were very patient with me and each driver that assisted me was very encouraging and helpful when I made mistakes. George, Robert and Nora were all exceptional teachers. They were very supportive in my driving abilities and I was able to space out my appointments to fit my schedule. I highly recommend them for anyone struggling to understand what is needed to pass a driving test. Thank you Viva.

Just passed my test! George is a fantastic instructor - very patient and knowledgable. I felt extremely prepared for the test after 6 hours of classes. The administrative staff (Dayz) is super helpful, and I felt like my lessons were well curated to suit my needs.

1 DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

1 Driving School is the best! If you are nervous about driving, get Mo as your instructor. Mo is calm, extremely supportive, and a super nice guy. He gives constructive feedback, enabling you to improve your driving skills on each and every lesson. Most importantly, he guides you in becoming the safest driver possible. It is not surprising that Mo consistently receives excellent reviews. He is awesome. You will be in good hands with Mo and 1 Driving School. I highly recommend both.

My son has alot of anxiety and was a very nervous driver. He was so nervous he made me nervous so I was unable to teach him behind the wheel. Benjamin was my sons instructor he was very patient and informative. He gave me a full report once the lesson was completed. I also thought it is a great service option to have the option to take the behind the wheel test with the vehicle they have been training with. My son passed the drive test on the first attempt. He said it was easy. That's a huge difference from when I was trying to train him I thought it was impossible. Bring you nervous driver here!

Mo was a great instructor for my son. He was accommodating with schedules, patient and made the lessons fun. When I was looking for an instructor I had read reviews for different companies but when I read these about Mo I went with him and we are so glad we did. We highly recommend him.

S. PASS DRIVING SCHOOL REVIEWS

Angie and her team are the BEST! I didn’t think I would ever pass and I passed on my first test. They are patient and knowledgeable. It is a family run business and you get intimate care, anyone that has issues with their package reviews would be met with way worse circumstances at a franchise. I found Angie based on reviews. I wanted a personal touch when spending hours with someone trying to learn. You will not be disappointed. Sign up and you will soon be driving. I still plan on buying more packages so I can keep rehearsing my driving skills even after I passed. Thank you Angie and David for everything!!

Hired S Pasadena Driving School for my daughter who was discouraged to continue her driving attempts due to failed driving tests and once she took the driving course with instructor Angie she was given the encouragement and confidence to try again and passed her test! Thank you for having such a great instructor and great customer service! 5 star rating!

I had an AWESOME experience with Angie at South Pasadena Driving School. After having failed my behind-the-wheel test multiple times, my confidence had gone down completely. But Angie got me ready within three lessons. She was very patient, attentive and dedicated. She gave me best tips and helped me get rid of my nervousness. It was only because of this driving school that I got my license in the first trial after taking lessons with Angie. And it wasn't my first driving school, the last one being the horrific Lincoln Park Driving & Traffic School, which was one of the worst customer experiences of my life. South Pasadena driving school on the other hand was worth every penny I spent. Angie is a very good teacher, and having been a teacher myself for over a decade, I can say that with certainty.
