I recently moved here from Washington and had to take both tests to get my California driver's license.
I went to the classroom with Kandra to review the rules of the road for my written test and drove with Kent for a review of my driving skills.
I couldn't be more pleased. I got 100% on both my written and driving tests. So glad I went with "Take me Driving". They're the best!

Kent was a terrific behind the wheel instructor for both my son and daughter. He was clear, complete, confidence-building and made an otherwise stressful experience fun.

We had two different instructors. Both excellent. The tips and training really provided my son with an excellent foundation. The suggested spaces of the classes also perfect! Highly recommend.

We had the most amazing experience with Take Me Driving. My 80+ year old Mom was required by the DMV to perform a behind the wheel exam to renew her license. We signed her up for 2 driving sessions to help her accomplish her goal of keeping her drivers license. She was treated with kindness and respect. The experience was fantastic and I cannot thank everyone at Take Me Driving to help her obtain her goal. She passed!!!

Awesome experience! I took the Drivers Ed with Jessica and passed the permit test on my first try. Great instruction from her and an overall welcoming environment.

My son took the classroom course and all three sessions of behind the wheel with Take ME Driving. He really enjoyed his time in the classroom. He found it both informative and enjoyable. When it came time to drive, Kandra went well out of her way to find time that fit our schedule. I would highly recommend Take ME Driving to anyone looking for a drive school. You're doing a great job Kandra!!

I did behind the wheel training with Lydia and passed my drivers test two weeks later. She is a great teacher- very calm and clear in her instruction. I felt very comfortable after suffering from severe driving anxiety for decades. I'm so glad I contacted Take Me Driving! Thank you Lydia- you rock!

I just passed my license thanks to this school. Kandra is really cool, Lydia is very kind about the whole thing, and Kent is the one who sets you straight on how to do everything very strictly but very thoroughly. Super happy with this school.

Our daughter completed her behind the wheel sessions with Kandra recently. She enjoyed driving the Mercedes as well. She said Kandra was patient and had the right personality as her instructor. Kandra taught her how to park alongside curbs with some tips that I didn't know, and I've been driving for 40 years. Our daughter passed the DMV driving test easily with high marks. Thanks Kandra! Job well done.

Great results with both the classroom and behind the wheel. Friendly, professional and prompt. They all relate great to teens. My daughter took her behind the wheel yesterday- passed with flying colors...well -3 out of 15...not bad. If you have a teen ready to get behind the wheel soon I highly recommend Take Me Driving. Kandra, Kent etc do a fabulous job!Thanks all,nervous mom

Kandra is awesome! I hear nothing but positive comments from my daughter whenever she is dropped off at home after a behind-the-wheel session. A few years ago, my son went to another nearby driving school, but we didn't get positive comments about his instruction like we do with Kandra. She is prompt, friendly, and has the perfect demeanor a teenage driver-to-be needs while in command of a ton of metal. Thanks, Kandra!

You know your teen had a great driving instruction experience when their first phone call after passing the DMV behind-the-wheel test (with 100%) is to their driving instructor!I was very happy with Kandra's instruction. My daughter had done her initial 2-hour lesson with another driving school in the area, and it was not a positive experience. Kandra instilled a lot of solid driving skills and confidence in my daughter, who also found Kandra to be delightful to work with. Highly recommend this school!
