Wonderful driving school. My teen enjoyed the driving lessons, gained confidence in driving and passed the road test. Al is a wonderful instructor who shared many tips and very patient. Dolores answered all my questions and provided detailed guidance. We highly recommend the lessons and the complete road test service package. My daughter was very fortunate to have Al accompany her on road test day.

My experience with New Life Driving School was horrible and traumatizing.
This was back in 2019 when I initially learned how to drive. My parents paid for the premium package, in hopes that I would be able to find some confidence over the wheel. I don't think there's anything like the instructor, Manny. Like others, Manny was rude, short tempered, irksome, and genuinely not the best driving instructor. He kept teasing me, and lost his fuse immediately when I couldn't manage to do his way of "hand over hand" or 9 and 3. He was so angry with me, oftentimes with no clear reason but simply out of complete frustration, and managed to give me a bruise on my thumb when he shut the door on me. My thumb thankfully healed. I came home in tears. My parents did try and speak to the owner, Paul, to at least tell Manny to be more calmer and reasonable with his teaching. He continued to be rude, but it also appeared that his attitude was mainly caused by the stress of being a driving instructor.
I suppose this wasn't the driving school for 16 year old me. I don't recommend this driving school, or at least Manny, and its services.

The Driving school is great for lessons - Al was amazing for my son - BUT like many others are saying unfortunately Al wasnt available for Road test and we had Manny - My son went to ask him last minute question about parallel parking right before the road test and Manny's response..."I'll let you figure that out" and got out of the car...WTH?? Thats what you tell a nervous 17 year old about to take the test? This is your job - very disappointed. but easiest $250 Manny made

Our experience with New Life was excellent.
My son had his lesson and driving test taken with New Life 2 years ago and recently with my daughter as well. I can’t remember the instructor my son had(I wish I did), but my son really enjoyed his lessons with him. He was so patient with him. Recently my daughter had Jon and she said he was very patient and good instructor as well.
For my daughter’s test day, Manny took my daughter to her test and she felt confident with him going over her questions. She passed without any issues.
Last but not least, Dolores was so nice and very informative. She and New Life went out the way to help my daughter when there was a slight issue.
I highly recommend New Life! They are reliable and very friendly.

Horrible and dangerous. After speaking with the manager of this operation, they listed all the items needed for my daughter to take her drivers test. They charged 115 dollars to take her to Lodi and a refresher session ... And then they left my daughter stranded in Lodi. They actually left a 17 year old minor to fend for herself. DONT use this service.

Great driving school. I have been practicing hard on all of the driving skills that my instructor taught me. I can't wait for the instructor to pick me up for my road test in April.
