My daughter and I are looking for a local driving school to help her pass her driving test. This was the first place that we called. My daughter lost confidence trying to remember what I had told her to ask about so I took the phone and was hung up on mid explanation. The school didnt bother calling me back not did the person answer when I called back. A sure fire way to get a bad review!

I just took 12 hours of driving lessons at abc driving school and it totally worth the money. To be honest, driving lessons here are so much cheaper than other places out there but the instructor still teach you a lot and he makes sure you will pass your driving test. I recommend this driving school!

I had Jay Kim for my behind the wheel instructor. He was nice enough to drive out to Fountain Valley for two days to teach me for 3 hours each day. Very patient and explained everything before he had me start driving. Very informative and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend learning from him.

I'd recommend Arthur. He's very patient and understanding. He's been an instructor for 10 years. He guides you exactly where to go to be prepared for the exam. Got a 99%. You can't go wrong.

the driver kim is great! he is patient and calm, i don't know about the previous reviews but so far my experience with this driving school has been positive. the price is very reasonable too, i'm doing refresher courses with parking, parallel parking,freeway and night driving for $70 each time for 2 hours. the service by phone is really reliable too, they also call you when they meet. which is nice.its seems to be family owned, but i felt like family when i visited the office. i would highly recommend this school for both driving lesson exam, or refresher. thanks, kim!

Horrible experience and i didnt even have to physically be there. Tried to ask simple questions and when the receptionist couldnt give me the answers, she hung up on me. Not only that i tried calling back, and it took me 6 tries until i got a responce and the excuse was "i was busy." Horrible customer service.

I didn't feel comfortable or well-prepared to take the driving test after my lessons with one of their instructors. I think I had an hour each week over six weeks of training instead of a couple per day over three days. They teach you to count at stops but its hard to be an observant behind-the-wheel student when the teacher wants to have conversations about her art or the supermarket where we have to stop so she can get something to eat. When I braked immediately after making left hand turns, she never said anything, even when the driver behind me honked. They're very flexible with schedules so I've driven sleep-deprived after dawn which was the final straw that made me quit.

It was kind of funny. They show you some old school videos on driving etiquette and do's and don'ts and my instructor [john] was really helpful in guiding my training at least semi-naturally. The funny part was when he came to my house the first time he asked me if I knew how to drive - I said sort of so he told me to get in and drive. I'm like.. uhh. aren't you supposed to teach me??? They do cater to the asian population and they are very flexible with the hours. They will even come to your school if it's nearby.
