Our daughter had several drive lessons and the drive test with Xcelerate driving. Her instructor, Mark, was a great instructor. He instruction supplemented what she already learned with practice with us. He was especially helpful in giving her tips on parking strategies (especially parallel parking). He was also helpful in teaching her to be more aware of other drivers and being prepared for possible unpredictable moves from other drivers. Overall, her experience was a great one in driving instruction. She also took her drive test with Xcelerate. I would recommend signing up for the practice test/drive test combo as well. My daughter took the test with the school car. The practice test gave her time to adjust to the school car, get some helpful reminders, and ease her anxiety about the actual drive test.

The best experience! They were so caring and professional. I have been to other schools, and they were horrible all about the money and not the people. I would highly recommend them.

We’ve had fantastic experiences with Xcelerate! They’re well organized, very helpful with scheduling and super friendly. My kids took their classes online which really helped work around school and sporting commitments. I’ve recommended Xcelerate to many friends.

I had a great experience taking my driving test here. I was nervous before my driving test, but my examiner was calm, patient, and made me feel comfortable throughout the test. I really appreciate how clear and respectful they were when giving instructions.

Very thankful and impressed with all the staff at Xcelerate. Both parents are high-speed driving instructors, and we were impressed by the value and attention to detail given in this program.
In addition, they were extremely helpful when a health issue interrupted our child's timeline.
I highly recommend them and we will send our next child there in a couple years. Apologies in advance for her!

Two years prior, my son turned 16 and started his driving lessons with a different school in Woodinville. There was nothing wrong with that driving school - my son just wasn't motivated to complete the process to get his license.Fast forward to now. After seeing low reviews for driving schools in Snohomish and Monroe, we called Xcelerate after two positive reviews on Yelp. It was easy to setup the road test and I appreciated that they sent text reminders for the scheduled event.We arrived for the road test, Xcelerate checked my son's license and status, and realized that my son had to take the written test again since it had been 2+ years. Xcelerate was very accommodating and got my son quickly rescheduled for both the written test and the road test. My son completed both and got his license.Other random observations...The employees seemed happy, which is a good sign to me.The individual conducting the road test was not stern or on a mission to intentionally induce a failed test result. That was my perception and I got the same feedback from my son.A huge number of teens were coming in to the facility on a Saturday morning and they were all smiling. How does one do that with a pack of teenagers!?...So, 5 stars. I wouldn't hesitate to send my child here for lessons or testing.

It was my first driving test in US and I was really nervous listening about stories of driving skills tests. I have been driving in India for about 15 years, but I believe driving is US is completely different and the rules matter the most! But after meeting Dane, I felt confident and cheered up and he taught me awesome tricks in a very succinct lesson. With those tips and guidance, I was more confident and was able to clear the test in one go! Thanks Dane!
