My son is currently finishing his behind the wheel course! We have had an amazing first experience with Inland Valley Driving school. I always felt safe sending my son with the instructor , he would always report home informing us of the great conversation he had and how much he liked his instructor Humberto. Thank you Inland Valley Driving school. Read Less

EDIT as of 3/18/19: A representative of the business has reached out to me to correct some of the statements I made here. First, the first instructor who came out to work with my son is still with the company. He has been given additional training so that his lessons are more effective. Second, it's not unusual for them to send out different instructors for each lesson. I can see the benefit of having different instructors but I also think that it could be beneficial for a student to have one instructor for all three sessions. I could have asked to have the same person who did the second lesson come out for the third and they would have made their best effort to accommodate my request. I appreciate the representative taking the time to reach out and rectify my dissatisfaction. ______ In a word: disappointed. When I signed up my son for driving lessons, I was told they would continue to instruct him even if he didn't pass the first time. Unfortunately I didn't get that in writing. I spoke with a young lady as well as the owner before I agreed to sign him up. They both assured me that he would get additional lessons at no charge if he didn't pass the first time. Well, my son took his test yesterday and didn't pass. I immediately called to schedule additional time. The representative told me that she had not heard of them offering additional lessons if the student doesn't pass the first time. She said she'd speak to the owner and get back to me. Although she was very polite and professional, they are not going to honor what I was told. (Again, I know I should have gotten it in writing.) Here are some other issues I had that should have been red flags. First, I signed him up for 6 hours of lessons (3 - 2 hour sessions). He had 3 different instructors for each session. The first time, they picked him up from school. He was supposed to be picked up at a specific location. Although I advised the office person that students are not supposed to be picked up at that location, she insisted that they always pick up there and it's not a problem. Someone forgot to tell the instructor because he was not there and advised me that no one told him where to pick up my son. Strike one. About a week after the first lesson, I took my son out to run to the grocery store. He wasn't braking adequately and almost hit the car in front of him twice. Isn't braking Driving 101? I asked my son what he was taught at his first lesson, he said nothing. He just let me drive. Strike two. The second lesson went better. The instructor was professional, showed up on time and at the right location and, after talking to my son, seemed to have provided adequate instruction. The third lesson was good too. Again, I wasn't present, but after questioning my son, seemed to provide adequate instruction. She told my son she thought he was ready and that he would pass. My son got points taken off because he didn't know were the hazard lights were in the car or where the defogger was. He told me the instructor didn't review this with him. The person who returned my call said she spoke with the instructor and that was reviewed with him. HMMM? Who should I believe? A company that says one thing and then doesn't honor it or my son? Also found out that the office person who I spoke with when I signed up my son no longer works there. The first "instructor" who took my son out also doesn't work there anymore. Strike three. His twin brother will be getting his permit in a week or so, guess who won't be getting anymore of our business... Read Less

I was a student at Inland vally driving school and it was the best experience. They have great and friendly staff. They got me prepared for my behind the wheel test and I passed with a perfect score. Totally recommend going through their behind the wheel program!! Read Less

First time student driver , the lady instructor let our son drive to zigzag road with downhill and uphill. Not satisfied . just because there was one student driver need to go back home in Fallbrook so she let our son drive ..Shes not concern for safety of my son.. Look for another Driving school not here. Read Less

I used Inland Valley Driving School for both of my daughters. Penny was their instructor and they both felt so comfortable with her. I paid extra to have Penny take them to the DMV for their tests-well worth it! Read Less

My son got his license today. All of the instructors were great, he felt confident and comfortable when he took his behind the wheel. I paid the extra to have them take him to the DMV for his test, so worth it. He got a little extra practice and I wasn't there making him nervous. Thank you Inland Valley driving school, see you in a couple years for the next kid! Read Less

After having a problem with one of their instructors, the owner called me and endured the situation was taken care of and wouldn't happen again.  They even provided a lesson that replicated the actual driving test. Read Less

Edit: I am editing my post as the owner of the company has personally called me to apologize for the bad experience.  They sincerely apologized and offered a full refund.   He listened to my complaint,  and like all great business owners got immediately to the root of the problem and fixed it. Please understand it was only one individual at the company that let us down.   Everyone else including all other instructors were very professional.  Definitely recommend! Read Less

They are very helpful in preparing you for the test, they show you what the test would be on and show you more for real life situations. The instructors are really nice and will help you polish some of the rough edges of your driving skills from beginning to end, would highly recommend going to them. Read Less

Five stars :) Georgette, the driving instructor, is AWESOME!!!!!! She's patient, makes you feel comfortable as soon as you get behind the wheel, shows you  that she has a brake as well on her side & she will ALWAYS keep you safe. I highly recommend Georgette because she breaks every single detail down for you in a way that any age driver can understand. She conversates with and is VERY FUNNY I might add lol She tells you what to look out for and what the DMV will expect from you :) With her we practiced making right & left turns, u-turns, 3 point turns, stopping behind the limit line, protected & unprotected intersections, parallel parking, driving on the freeway, reversing in a straight line, lane changes, looking over your shoulder before merging, parking the car in a parking lot & uphill/downhill, even showed me how to put gas in the car!! Lol Verrrrrrry good instructor Read Less

As a student driver I think Penny is an amazing driving instructor. She makes you feel very comfortable in the car, and she's very personable. She totally stays calm under the pressure of riding with "us" teen drivers and she has our best interest at heart. I as a mother of a new driver, in meeting Penny for the first time, I could tell she really enjoys what she does and helping her student drivers be successful in their driving tests. She is very pleasant and possesses nurturing qualities. So I knew my daughter was in very capable hands. My daughter passed her driving test the very first time around. I really wanted to write this review to let every parent out there know your child will get 101% from Penny and the Inland Valley Driving School because they really do go the extra mile. Read Less

I took 6 lessons with Inland Valley Driving School, it was a great experience. All of their instructors are patient and very clear with instructions. They make sure you know how to be a courteous and technical driver before you take your test. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be as great of a driver as I am. They instilled confidence in me, and showered me with positivity. I worked with 4 different instructors and all of them were professional. Tom, the owner of the business, took me to the DMV for my test. He is such a nice man and you won't be disappointed with his school. Read Less

I have learned so much though this school. All the people there are super nice and they are alway there if you have any questions about driving! I think the majority of the positive in my driving is because of the teachers at this school. I would highly recommend it!Special thank you to Tom for being the best teacher EVER! :) Read Less

My daughter had her 3 lessons with 2 different instructors Georgette  and Regina, my daughter loved both and was comfortable each lesson.  I decided to have them take her to the DMV for her driving test which gave her an additional hour of instruction , this time with Tom.   She was put at ease quickly with him.  She totally enjoyed his company.  Having 3 different instructors taking her out was valuable in her learning ... THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND GUIDANCE !   Best of ALL she PASSED her first time out !!! Read Less

Inland Valley Driving School was top notch all the way... They were very helpful getting us through the Zoom Zoom scam and getting my daughter situated and cleared through the DMV... Penny her driving instructor guided her through everything she needed to know and sure enough she passed! Penny even sent us a message checking in on her... A+ service all the way around.... Read Less

I had Penny as a driving instructor, and she was awesome! I totally recommend her.. she went over the procedure of the Hemet Driving Test with me TWICE and I passed my driving test first time. Also, every time that I spoke to Kristen on the phone she was so kind and just had great customer service skills. Thank you Penny and Kristen, you both rock! Read Less

Inland Valley Driving School has such a lovely staff! Everyone is very friendly! I had two lessons with Georgette, she was amazing! My last lesson was with Tom. He was also great. Thanks to them I passed my driving test with no errors :) Can't thank them enough! Everyone should definitely enroll here! Read Less

I must say the customer service is superior.  I have called a couple times to make appointments and the customer service has been outstanding and so friendly - I would say one of the best customer service personnel  I have dealt with.  They worked with my daughter and she said that they were polite and talkative.  If you are looking for a drivers school I would give this place a A++++ When you call you will know what I mean. Thanks for your service and great customer service. Read Less

I shopped around all over for My daughter to a school I felt most comfortable with. As soon as I talked to the lady on the phone I knew my daughter was in great hands. I found out It was a Family owned buisness and I truley believed and noticed they treat their students as if they were their own children. I felt safe and confident with my daughter in the car with her instructor. I even asked if the instructor could call me after the lesson just to let me know how my daughter did, seeing how it is much more difficult to communicate with my own daughter while I help her practice in the car, and the instructor called me that very evening! Could not have appreciated their service any more and will defintley Recommend their company in the future! Read Less

Wow. If a Driving School could have a perfect Score this School has defintley earned it. I have had 2 previous children taken this school in the past and have Never ran into any problems. The Office staff is so kind and helpful and ALWAYS returned my phone call right away if I left a message. We were able to get my son in as promised, and like I've heard about from other driving schools, this one does not take their time as soon as you give them their payment. They treated me with such kindness and respect and stuck to their word. Thank you for helping all three of my kids PASS their driving test ALL on their first time. If you are looking for the Best Driving school I would definaltey recommend Inland Valley Driving School. Read Less

I've Had all my children and their friends go to this school and they all passed with flying colors. The teachers instructors and Owners are very kind and professional. I wouldn't recommend any other school than this one to take your child to. They've been here the longest for a reason. Read Less

I previously had 2 children come through this school. My 3rd child is currently driving with inland valley and i couldn't be any happier with the service we have received over the years. What really made me comfortable is they have all the same drivers from my previous children. Where as other schools get new instructors just about every year or less. Read Less
