Update: My son took his behind the wheel driving test this morning and passed on his first try. Mr. Stephan made sure he was very well prepared for the test. Thank you so much for all your time, attention to details, patience, and kindness. I can not recommend Drive Quest enough!
Stephan at My Drive Quest was referred to us by a friend, and let me say he has not disappointed us. The website is easy to use and I have not had any problems getting drive appointments that work for our busy schedule. Stephan is always punctual for the drive appointments. He also has been accessible to me via text anytime I have questions. Stephan is calm and patient. I think he is in the perfect profession. My son is always talking about what Mr. Stephan says during his lesson. I can not think him enough for teaching my son how to drive, be aware of his surrounds, and anticipate what to do and expect while behind the wheel. I feel certain my son will be ready to take his driving test when the time comes in a couple of months. Thank you My Drive Quest and Mr. Stephan.

I couldn’t be more satisfied with a behind the wheel driving experience for my son! He completed 3-2 hour sessions with Carmen. Carmen was wonderful!! Not only was she a great instructor but she gave my son the confidence he needed with her kindness and encouragement. By session 2 when she picked him up for his lesson I felt like he was with family. Thank you Carmen ! I’ve been on a couple drives with my son since his lessons and he is well prepared for his test!
Drive Quest was on time. The website is easy to navigate to book and change reservation times. There are several payment options that make booking easy!!

I had an amazing experience with Stephan! He taught me all the rules of the road and the basics and I gained much knowledge, experience and confidence. And the best part of all, I passed my driving test on the first try! He was on time to all of the sessions and has amazing stories to tell and we had amazing conversations. He’s an amazing teacher. If you want to pass your test and become an experienced driver go to Stephan. He has you covered. I highly recommend him!

My experience with Drive Quest was phenomenal. Stephan was very gentle & polite in speech & mannerisms. He made it very easy for me to follow his instructions & understanding the driving laws here in California. He believes in what he does so that made me believe in him. He shot confidence through the roof. I respected that fully. Thank you so much. I would definitely recommend this driving school to others. Keep striving, you're doing really super!

So, my teen daughter had less than two weeks before her permit expired. Yes, we dropped the ball. She didn't practice nearly enough and her anxiety had taken over. We pretty much threw in the towel. Worst case scenario, she had to start over. Best case, meeting Stephan!!! I can't stress enough how great he was with her. Stephan taught her more than we could and even more than her other two driving instructors. My husband and I know for a fact that if it wasn't for Stephan, she wouldn't have passed. She needed someone who taught her, not just drove with her. We will forever be thankful for Stephan and Drive Quest. Oh and when I called Drive Quest, I spoke with Lisa, she swore by Stephan, and she didn't disappoint. Thank you Stephan and Lisa. You guys ROCK!!!!

I called yesterday and spoke to Lisa. She was so helpful with answering my questions regarding my teen driver. She swore her instructor Stephen was amazing! And he was! Well, he IS! Stephen was extremely patient and the best instructor for my daughter. If you have anxiety or get nervous you NEED STEPHEN to help you. I’m positive my daughter will learn everything she needs to know with Stephen as her instructor. Side note: We’ve already had two
other instructors. My daughter is, let’s just say she’s a slow learner. She didn’t like the other instructors at all. She said they didn’t teach her anything. We’ve only had one session with Stephen so far and my daughter said she liked him A LOT! Thank you Drive Quest!

If the DMV requires a driving test, especially for seniors this's the place to go. There was a distinct possibility that if I failed the test that'd never be able to drive again. I was filled with anxiety and was not confident that I would pass. My instructor Stephan Niemen knew exactly how to teach me,especially what my personality needed. In addition to that I was able to drive my own car, so i had the opportunity to become more efficient in a car with which I was familiar. Stephan has twenty three years experience and he's a great guy to boot.

My experience with Drive Quest Driving School was phenomenal. My instructor Stephan was more interested in helping me become a safe driver rather than pass a 10 minute DMV test. He was patient, calm and very helpful. I was lucky to find this place as they were able to accommodate my lessons according to my crazy schedule. I highly recommend Drive Quest. They are professional and friendly and had an amazing experience overall.

I was so impressed with Drive Quest. I was anxious getting instruction after an accident I was involved in, but the instructor made me feel so comfortable. The instructor was also well equipped in not only teaching new teens to drive, but also phobic drivers. I will be referring all my nieces and nephews! Thank you for giving the confidence I needed in order to drive again.

I needed some driving lessons for my niece.I had heard about Drive Quest and I am glad I went through with it. The chief instructor is probably the most experienced driving instructor in the nation with over 30 years experience. I believe he also studied structural engineering with a specialty in Highways. I believe it does not get better, more technical, or savvy than Drive Quest. As a result, my niece passed her driving test on the first go and I couldn't be happier!Thank you Drive Quest, and best of luck with everything!

This driving school is awesome. I know I was not supposed to but I practiced with my daughter before the first lesson and she almost crashed the car. She really needed a real professional to teach her how to drive correctly. Well we found the right driving school. The instructor was punctual, pleasant, and knowledgeable. He even emailed us the stuff that they were talking about during the lesson.After the first lesson, practicing with my daughter was like night and day. She improved so much after just one lesson. I would definitely recommend the school in a heartbeat!!!

I like to recommend Drive Quest driving school. I'm in charge of my brother who has Asperger's syndrome but he is very high functioning. My brother went for his driver's license renewal and the DMV technician took a look at my brother and recommended a driving test. He went without training and did not pass. The DMV examiner said in the paperwork that driving lessons will not help and he suspended my brothers driver's license. I contacted Drive Quest, which was the company that I used for my brother about 15 years ago. They contacted the DMV and scheduled a test. My brother just passes morning and get his license back thanks to the training that he took with Stephan. Stephan was very patient with my brother and was always positive. A++++
