I wanted to come on here as an actual student who drove with Jeff and tell my experience. First of all, I do not recommend this place at all. Jeff’s cars are not taken care of, they smell and have junk food bags in them. He belittles you as a student when you do not know a specific thing he is “trying” to teach. During my time with him instead of instructing me on something he deemed I was struggling with he was on his phone. Things that stuck out to me the most was his lack of professionalism, for instance, my first drive with him he was complaining about his students and their parents. Jeff also commented on women’s body’s regarding their attractiveness. Now as a young female, this was entirely inappropriate. He also complained about his marital problems to me as well along with the roles of a woman in a household to me. Parents please do not take your kids here, he may be easy to get times in but ultimately he lacks professionalism away from parents. Read Less

My son would NOT recommend this place. Its difficult to schedule drives. Jeff has a bad attitude and if your teen isn't the greatest driver he will belittle them.

My daughter - who has a different last name - had a terrible experience here. She said Jeff made her feel uncomfortable and we ultimately left the program early.

Happy with my experience, I was able to complete all of my drives within the timeframe. Instructor was very helpful and accommodating with helping me complete said drives.

My teen went to this school and felt very uncomfortable on drives with Jeff, so much that they left the program before finishing it and went to another school. He showed pictures of him as a teenager shirtless, my teen witnessed other teens vaping in the bathroom during class and Jeff didn't care. The car was filthy inside with fast food trash. Terrible experience overall. Would never recommend this place. Read Less

Its name does not dissappoint, this is one of the best classroom experiences I've ever had and has some great and helpful staff. This place rivals every other driving school in the area.

Class was good until something came up and I needed an extension on my behind the wheel, didn't hear a single word from anyone. A year an a half later I go to the DMV to find out he didn't even send in my class forms. I'd still recommend this class but don't expect any help if you aren't like every other student. Read Less

Class is amazing! Jeff does make the class vary fun. He uses fun strategy’s to learn, unlike top driver. Drives are easy and fun. 9/10 recommend.

Jeff is a good teacher, and very easy to work with. He's easygoing and willing to help when you need it. As long as you pay attention in class you should do fine on the tests.
