My wife took her test here and had a terrible experience. The instructor was very condescending and unhelpful. He barely wrote any notes on my wife's exam paper, and his handwriting is illegible in several places. The only legible notes we could read were "Very New Driver", which doesn't help my wife know what she needs to improve on at all. It was a complete waste of our money, and we'll be taking our business elsewhere.

Easy to schedule. Clean office and clean bathrooms. I used their car for my test. Their car was new and drove very smoothly. The tester was very kind and professional. 100% recommend

Don’t waste your money here there is so many better ones after wasting 400 dollars in TWO lessons in which the teacher gave me an hour and a half while giving the other students 2 and half hours. After the second one I asked for a refund with as little they were going to give in which the call they treated that they would make it harder to get my driving license. After some talks they offered me one more private lesson I stupidly thinking that maybe a new teacher would help I accepted and then the day of as I waited in my living room for them with my two dogs that lose there mind at the soft knock on the door. But no one showed up and when I went to call no pick up were I tried several time till I had to use a friend phone to learn I missed it and forfeit all money. Don’t come here!!

Jackie was great with me. He’s direct and blunt, but also very kind and respectful, which is exactly what every kind of driving student needs. Even after taking my lessons in April, the core principles he taught me were still apparent during my test. I would definitely recommend this driving school, more specifically him. Even the driving school i took my driving test with said he was great. Awesome dude.

This driving company was great to work with! My daughter had a great experience, doing the road test. She felt comfortable and confident with her instructor. They worked around my daughters and my schedule. The instructor was kind & explained everything clearly. They are affordable too. I highly recommend them!

Shout out to Kaycen, Scotty and kangaroo punching Josh. The greatest driving instructors. Couldn't have done it without this school.

My son and daughter took driving courses there. Best price in the area, flexible schedule, good instructors with a lot of common sense.

I highly recommend independent driving school!! Not only are they quick with helping you get your license, but they have the most friendly and kind people you will ever meet! I just got my license through independent driving school after about 1 week with them! My driving instructor James Martin was the best driving instructor imaginable! He helped me push past my fears early on, and then encouraged me as I got better! James is really good at making a stress free atmosphere for the person driving! He never yelled once, and was always willing to answer any questions I had! If I had to do it all over again, I would DEFINITELY choose to go through independent driving school! :)

Noted issues with other driving schools in the area, so we chose to wait two months to get in to Independent Driving School. Our child was satisfied with the instructors, he said were very knowledgeable, helpful, and insightful. We as parents, did not get the same accolades for our efforts at instruction.
Our child did say the instructional material did not necessarily match with the state's driving test, but couldn't get any more information about the discrepancy.
Rather thank skipping an eagerly anticipated appointment setup months in advance, Independent Driving School located another qualified instructor when the first became ill.
