George is an exceptional teacher and is not your normal every day instructor. He's been doing it an awful long time. The guy that mentioned banker's hours, that's news to me because we just got done with a night driving class that my daughter had from 8:30-10:30PM Also, he's extremely accommodating when it comes to scheduling. Most any good school or instructor can teach you the rules of the road and how to operate a car. George teaches how to drive. His methods of explanation and reasoning are top notch. As soon as our other daughter is ready, we shall be giving him a call once again. Yes, he is pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. Not everyone will recognize that though.

George is so good with kids. He's amazing. Day 2 we were out on the interstate. I never would have done that with my daughter, but he did and she was so comfortable with him. We parents have been driving for a long time and we know what we're doing. But that doesn't translate into teaching a teenager how to drive. Sitting in the back seat while George taught her up front showed me things I never would have taught her. THANK YOU, GEORGE!

If you can't meet up with him during banker's hours, then forget about it. He may say he can meet you after 6pm for lessons, but if your kid is tired, he'll complain about the hours and many of us work. It's impossible for us to meet earlier. If your kid is a natural driver and catches on fast, he likes that, but if the student is more shy or nervous, he'll work with that, but he won't like it and he can be impatient and short with the student. He is a good driver himself and he gets kids right into it in the first lesson, but for us, he wasn't a fit, and he's veg expensive I think. Wish I could have my money back. Don't tell the client that you can meet them after normal hours if you don't recommend it in the first place. you could've saved me a lot of money had you been more upfront and honest with me.

Working with George from GCS has been one of the best of experiences of my life! My track driving skills have improved tremendously after just a few sessions. George is an amazing driver and coach. I'm looking forward to many more hours of track time with him.

Filled out form on their website to have them contact me with more information. A few days later I receive an email from the owner informing me he will be out of town for a few days and he would call me on 11/10. No one called so I called him on 11/11. He said he was in line at a store and would call me back. It's 11/12 and still no call.If the owner is so unresponsive to a potential new customer than this is a company I would not do business with.
