Karen at ALOHA Driving School was great to work with. My son really enjoyed the in person classes and felt well prepared going into his written test, which he passed on the first try. What stood out most was how Karen encouraged him to take ownership and responsibility for his driving, which gave him a lot of confidence. Her classes are engaging and effective. I highly recommend ALOHA Driving School.

I had a great experience with the in class instruction and the staff were so very nice. Karen treated all the students with extreme respect, and treated us all as adults. I would 100% recommend this driving course over any other driving course out there.

I never thought I would have to attend such an environment when it came to driving schools. My first issue in this review is with the staff, it felt like I had training wheels on in my second lesson. I wasn't even able to control the gas? After I had driven for 50 hours. Beyond this, which is only a minor flaw, the ownership are incredibly rude. They have insulted both me and my driving when I asked for a speedy appointment (which they had guaranteed on the phone), I mean I thought I was losing my mind. A fully grown adult was going to insult a kid? For asking if he could get another lesson? Absolute and udder childishness.

It's a really great experience, I feel incredibly informed and ready for my permit test! It's a very safe and welcoming environment too, you don't feel stressed at all. 10/10 would reccomend.

Karen is amazing! She went above and beyond in helping me. I called her to inquire about driving school as I recently received a ticket. She doesn't offer this service yet (she said she will in the future), but she has a link to an online school on her website. She graciously guided me to it. I accidentally clicked on the wrong link and completed the wrong program on her website. It was completely my fault. Despite that, when I reached out to her, she not only redirected me to the right site but also offered to refund my money for the class I completed in error. She is an amazing person who exhibits great customer service which I feel can be hard to come by nowadays.

I highly recommend Karen and her crew at Aloha! The very first time I met Karen when my son took his first class, she was so nice and grateful for us picking her school. There are many choices in town but Karen is someone who constantly thanks you for your business and is grateful for her customers. My son was more than well prepared and Karen made his behind the wheels comfortable and gave him the confidence he needed. You won't go wrong picking Aloha!!! Thank you Karen for your service to our teens!!!

Thanks to Aloha's driver training program my daughter passed both her written and behind the wheel driving tests with flying colors the FIRST TIME! Aloha exceeded our expectations. Their staff is professional and extremely well organized, providing parents and students all the documented information needed every step of the way.My daughter opted for their classroom lessons instead of online. She found each session incredibly valuable, fun and the information she learned really stuck. She actually looked forward to each session. To this day she takes pride in sharing driving facts and tips that she's learned at Aloha. According to Aloha's owner Karen, students do far better if they go the classroom route and I can vouch for that. My daughter found the written DMV test (to get her permit) a breeze because she was so well prepared.Behind the wheel lessons with her instructor Kim, taught my daughter confidence in her abilities and the skills needed to be a safe calm driver. While she had her permit my daughter felt comfortable enough to drive us everywhere, including all the way to Gilroy and did so perfectly. She mastered driving both of our family cars as well.A few days before her behind the wheel test, Kim took her out for their last driving lesson. Kim made sure to go to Tracy DMV where she'd be tested and had my daughter drive several possible routes while going over what she'd be tested on. We got notes on the couple areas she should fine tune before the test. This attention to detail ensured that my daughter was fully prepared and able to pass with an almost perfect score when the big day came. My only regret is that we didn't use Aloha when my son was learning to drive several years earlier. He wasn't nearly as prepared as my daughter and every step of his process was an unnecessary challenge. He opted for an online class with their competitor and it wasn't as informative. His behind the wheel lessons were ok but the quality of the vehicle they provided wasn't nearly as nice as Aloha's. This entire process from start to finish was worlds better with Aloha for my daughter.Aloha is the only driving school in our area that we'd highly recommend. The results speak for themselves. ALOHA IS THE BEST!!!!

Thank you Aloha. Another one of our kids has passed their driving test! We really appreciated taking her to the Tracy DMV so that she could do a test run at the office she was scheduled to take her behind the wheel test at. Really a great service. You were always great about reminders as well as being flexible with appointment changes. See you in six years for kid number #4!

Aloha, you made it FUN for our kids! They could not wait to wake up and go to class the next day, AND my daughter got only two wrong out of 46 on the permit test. Only 30% of kids pass their written test the first time that take an online-only class.A whopping 98% of kids pass their first time after taking ALOHA!!! My daughter and her friends are pumped full of knowledge, which is giving them the confidence they need to become good, safe drivers.I have already texted all my friends that were considering doing an online course instead. I say, pay the extra few dollars because your child's precious life is definitely worth a couple extra dollars! If they take Aloha classes they will not only learn the info, they will retain it for a lifetime. :)
