I have had an amazing experience with this driving school. I chatted with them via text, so communication was super easy. The rates were very reasonable and they were flexible when I had to move my son’s lessons around at the last minute. Ken is a great instructor! My son has loved working with him and was very quickly learning to drive on the expressway. He’s learning really quickly and building confidence. Highly recommended. I don’t think I’ll have a use for a driving school in the future (this was for my youngest child), but if anyone ever asks for a recommendation, this is where I’ll send them.

Do NOT use Ken’s driving school!
By far the worst experience. No one ever answers the phones or email. The Classroom part did work out ok. Once you’ve paid in full you WILL have a problem. There is a ...
Do NOT use Ken’s driving school!
By far the worst experience. No one ever answers the phones or email. The Classroom part did work out ok. Once you’ve paid in full you WILL have a problem. There is a number to text Ruth for scheduling. Your text will go unanswered for days. So I called Ken directly and said I’ve been trying to schedule behind the wheel lessons for days. He immediately became rude, condescending and outright nasty. He screamed you want a behind the wheel lesson, let’s go now. I explained I could not go now!! Then he blamed me for not being able to make the appointment that he offered. After multiple times of then texting Ruth, she became hostile and told me there are great driving schools out there and I should find one for my child to do the behind the wheel testing part. I’m glad I learned how terrible and nasty these people are before I put my daughter into a vehicle with them. Before you sign up, please read all reviews from all locations. New Lenox and Frankfort. Read reviews on Yelp AND google.

THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL! Had only 2-3 sessions of driving lessons with Sir Ken and the next thing I know, I already got my driver’s license! Sir Ken is very knowledgeable, considerate and amiable. I will never forget his patience and kindness! I RECOMMEND HIM over any driving schools out there. In regards with inquiring, BE PATIENT. Please understand that he might be assisting other learners and inquirer out there.

We switched from Top Driver to Ken's for the in car instruction portion of drivers ed. I cannot begin to tell you what gems Ken and Mr. Howe are. They care about the kids and their instruction and in-car training are above and beyond. They were patient, kind, calm and knowledgeable. The training received from Ken's will be invaluable. You can't go wrong with this place.

Was not much information available, but decided to give him a try for our 15yo daughter. Very glad we did. Cheaper than going through the high school, flexible schedule, and great instructor! I would highly recommend him for any friends or family in New Lenox or Frankfort. I believe it was formerly known as U-Drive, but it's "Ken's Driving School".
