Good experience overall. The process was easy, the instruction was clear, and it was a great value. Would definitely recommend if you need to get this done without any headaches.

Highly recommend. My children are a year apart and we used Alliance back to back. My son tested at Oceanside and my daughter at San Marcos. Different instructors, both fantastic!

I cannot say enough amazing things about alliance driving and Melissa! I’ve had years of driving anxiety and was a completely new driver, but she made me feel so comfortable and taught so much. She explains rules and gives tips so well, and easily understandable. I passed my test first try and I genuinely loved talking with Melissa and appreciate her so much! Read Less

Highly recommend Alliance. We had Marc Stephens for our last two behind the wheel lessons and he was extremely helpful, professional and definitely got our son ready for his behind the wheel exam, which he passed successfully. We have now used Alliance on all three of our kids and have recommended them to several friends. The website is easy to use as far as scheduling/managing lessons. Our instructor, Marc, provided the right balance of DMV driving test training/tips with real-life driving situations/conditions. Thanks. Read Less

First of all, I have another teacher from a different company and I just didn’t like it, so when I booked my hours to get lesson here. I was able to drive, it felt impossible but I did it. I failed my first time but my second I passed and I was grateful to get tips and information from the Instructor, if anyone is wondering Mark is the best guy for it. He was patient with me and trusted me in driving and made drive a lot better than before. I Highly highly recommend this place and the people and staff are nice as well Read Less
