Expert Driving School

The worst experience for my daughter. Rude inappropriate comments. This person should not be allowed to teach driving school or have exposure to young adults. He's a bully.

Terrible experience. Never never take their class. For a beginner, he barely teaches anything and just expects you to drive. Literally shouts for minute mistakes. Barely has any work ethics. We booked for three classes and for the last class he demanded us to pay for three more classes before we can give us the third class. Please avoid this guy. He ruins your confidence and disrespects you in all senses.

After failing once, I was really nervous for the re test and Bruce did a fantastic job to get me to gain my confidence and pointing out my mistakes time and again! I did it. yayy!

Very instructive and thorough. He doesn't sugarcoat at all and if anything he was a harder grader than the DMV, which made the test a breeze. I went from next to no driving experience to being able to pass the test in only a couple weeks. He puts in the work to teach you but you have to be more than willing to put in the effort to learn.

I just call this number twice 619-885-7777 (April 4, 2022) to try to arrange for serving lessons for my kid. The man wants a full payment but does not want to schedule lessons for two weeks away during non school hours. He just wanted to schedule one lesson. When I stated, I don't feel comfortable paying for a full package and unable to schedule, this man stated he does not have time to negotiate and hung up on me.

When I called back, he hung up again. I called back just to be sure I was not hung up on, and he did it again. He is not an appropriate person to giving driving lessons to teenagers. I am actually glad he acted this way. I would not let my kid alone in a car with a person so Rude on a phone call and with shady business practices.

He was very professional and taught me a lot about how to drive properly. It was very convenient for me because he would pick me up from school. I also liked having interesting conversations with him in the car. I will recommend this to my friends.

Wow Bruce where do I begin. First of all this individual should NOT be trusted with children. He is the typical old inbred racist POS you would expect from his speech demeanor and appearance. This turd took the opportunity to ear rape my child for three hours. This piece of trash further went on to discuss with my DAUGHTER his preference for young Asian women and the dating site he is on.

He literally made my child sit there and listen to his racial tirade on Asian stereotypes for three hours and he made me pay for it. I guess you cannot expect much from this dumpster baby when he rushes out to get your money on a weekend, but I would have expected at least a minuit TOUCH of humanity. All in all this guy is garbage, you would be wise to avoid him.

I would love to see him again and discuss his actions in person. I hope someday I get that opportunity. We canceled our session after the first one. He charged us $250 after canceling as a punishment. He knew he screwed up and had to refund us as we paid in full at the start. He was charging $360 for 2 sessions totaling 6 hours which is required by the DMV. STAY AWAY! STAY FAR AWAY! We are actively trying to pursue getting this turds license revoked due to his unprofessionalism and abuse of customers children. F YOU BRUCE! YOU are GARBAGE.

I wished I read these reviews before hand. My daughter came home crying from her driving lesson. This guy is a racist and an awful person. He went on and on about Asian/Filipino stereotypes to my 15 years old daughter. Pls don't hire this creep!

Definitely don't recommend this driving school for anyone. Rather than giving you tips to fix your issues as NEW DRIVERS, he yells at you and practically calls you dumb. Along with that, he was extremely racist throughout the whole drive and even asked me if I was "born in America" and since I was born in America, I'm "not actually Asian." Short tempered, sarcastic, rude, racist, and noneducational.

He claims to have been teaching drivers for 20+ years, but he definitely didn't act like it, it was extremely unprofessional. Brought up deep subjects of his personal life numerous times and it was very uncomfortable to drive with. He makes you feel bad for not knowing how to drive regardless the fact hes teaching NEW drivers. Complete waste of money.

Bruce is a patient, nice guy with his 28 years experiences in driving school. His price is reasonable, and his method is effective, even a noob with zero driving experience can get the basic quickly

Super great teacher! I was able to learn so much in a mere 6 hours and was very comfortable during the entire teaching time. 10/10 recommend

The instructor Bruce was very good. I like his attitude because he is straight forward with no filter, advised me to take more hours. I passed the test for the first time. Thank you for everything Bruce, without which I would not made it. Kind regards, Vinay ramesh

Lenient instructor, Bruce was a great help on my journey to getting my drivers license. Great guy and is firm enough to instill good lessons but not mean or rude.

Very professional instructor. Nice guy and he helped me get my classes done sooner so I can take my behind the wheel test. Would definitely recommend.

These reviews are completely honest so I would definitely read before you decide to use this place. Bruce made me terrified to be in the car and even after I got my license, I was still terrified to drive. Not only did he hit my hand while I was driving but he also always tries to engage in political conversations that I personally didn't agree with but I never said anything because I was so sad to disagree with him and he also talked about his deep personal life while yelling at me when I made a mistake.

He has very racist views and he tries to tell you about controversial history, but it's completely false information. I had a friend (girl) that also had him while I was and she reported the same thing. He yelled at her constantly and make her feel inferior. I did pass my first time, however I had to hire someone else for my last lesson because he was so awful. WOULD NOT recommend!

Great driving instructor with great experience. Moved from the Uk and passed first time thanks to Bruce!

He was able to speed up the process of me getting my hours in because i was taking my test soon. He throughly explains everything you need to know in the test and makes you a safe smart driver. I appreciate everything he has done for me and my family. He is also very flexible with your schedule!

Good driving instructor that helps you learn the main details about driving. Bruce helped me learn the rules of driving and helped me get ready for my behind the wheel test. Before this class i wasn't very confident for the test but now after the 6 hours with Bruce i'm confident that i can pass the test.

I had a great experience while practicing the six hours. I had a good impression with my instructor and was able to get to know a lot about safe driving. I improved my driving skills within the hours I had gotten done. Overall a great experience! :

Dont not use his help reviews speak for themselves. If I could give this place 0 stars I would. The way the owner Bruce spoke to my daughter and I was rude and disrespectful. I signed my daughter up for his online course which was not working. When we called to ask if it would be working he responded by the end of summer. I calmly told him I wanted her to complete it before school started.

He told me basically oh well and that she should be able to complete the lessons without video if she was smart enough. I explain I wanted her to have access to all the material. I asked for a refund he laughed and said "no. you dont get things for free." He had a student at the time of our call and told them she is yelling at me and wants a refund when I never raised my voice. Proceeded to say so many other things my daughter started to cry.

We were in the car with the call on speaker. I wouldn't feel safe with her on the road with him without me present! Dont buy the online course it is not working properly and he had no interest in fixing to get the full experience of the course. The DMV needs to take his privileges and his business should be closed down. If he has to be unfair and rude to get money from people that is not the way. Thus was such a bad experience that I am glad to pay someone else and let him keep that little money I paid!

I am extremely disappointed in the service of this school. Contact with Bruce was horrible and unprofessional. I needed a copy of my daughter's driver's ed certificate and he chraged me $25 to replce the orginal he sent out. My daughter did not includ eour apartment number, so i was charged $25 to replace it. I didn't mind doing that, but Bruce had me call him only to tell me i hit the innocrrect button on his website-ugh.

And then it took several more phones in order to correc this issue. He also reached out to my daughter to resolve this payment. Each conversation was odd, unprofessional, and uncomfortable. I would never use or recommend his serivce. Reported to the BBB.

This experience was a bit weird because he often got off topic and said was taking to much about politics and other topics. He doesn't really give constructive criticism and just tells you what your doing wrong in a rude way.

We hired the owner/instructor - Bruce to help our daughter gain confidence for driving the SD/LA area. He's perfect! We hired him for 12 lessons that's how THOROUGH his lessons are! Thanks so much :

Bruce is a sad excuse for a teacher. He is racist and disgusting. My brother is Latino and this horrible man proceeded to verbally abuse him and say racist horrible things to him. A child! Do not give this man anymore business he deserves absolutely none.

The only reason i rated this school with a "1 star" is because there was not an option for "negative start". I just got hung up on twice by this owner, Bruce, when trying to book an appt for my daughter for behind the wheel. It is December 23rd now and he was infuriated that I wanted to schedule her after Christmas vacation. I believe his words were "You have a whole week to get started and YOU decide to book it when school starts.

Give me a Break! Do what you want I have plenty of clients!" (and proceeded to hang up the phone on me!). I called back again because I could not believe he would act in such a way (unprovoked), he hung up on me again. DO NOT book with this company! It's Christmas for goodness sake.aren't we supposed to be kind to others especially during this time? I was only trying to give him business.bah humbug!

I booked this school for my child's driving lesson. I am not planning to send him back. He said this Covid outbreak is all hoax and did not want to wear a mask. He has poor manners and has anger management issues.

Bruce is the owner and instructor for Expert Driving School. He was very easy and flexible when my daughter needed her behind the wheel classes quickly. His experience was very evident. He is direct which my daughter actually appreciated. Bruce gets the job done.

Like others have mentioned, my daughter also suffered from Bruce's anger, obnoxious personality, and inconsiderate mannerisms. He tried to engage her in political discussions, but she felt nervous to be open with him because he was easily angered. He was harsh with criticism of her skills at times and she felt anxious to drive alongside him. I'm glad she finished her driving instruction, but wish I had read these reviews before booking him. I would not recommend him at all.

Bruce is beyond unbelievable rude and obnoxious. Clearly the guy has some chip on his shoulder. After I asked if we could re-schedule (not cancel) our appointment due to a family matter, he proceeded to text me that I was "screwing him" and other non-sense. Stay away from this slime ball. If you must use him, ask for what certifications he has and who provides them. I can't believe he is still in business.

Bruce was an excellent teacher and i learned a lot from him. he has great judgement and i couldn't have asked for a better teacher teaching me how to drive. i highly recommend him for a teacher to new drivers/beginners.

I wanted to give a BIG FAT ZERO STARS.Bruce is an extremely rude man. We had set up my daughters first driving lesson. The night before she had 102 fever and was vomiting. Very very sick. We called to cancel and Bruce was SO RUDE and told us not to as he would lose $! My kid is super sick and he just worries about his cut? He also used inappropriate language with me on the phone. I'm the mom/ customer and that was so UNPROFESSIONAL the way he spoke to me. Not using this company! Not a good way to start with a new driver as a customer. We will be using someone else.

I called to speak with this school and ask questions. The gentleman sounded as if I woke him at 10:30 in the morning. Before I could ask any questions he told me the price and wanted to schedule me. When I told him I was looking for defensive driving skills for my teen he said very quickly I don't do that and hung up on me. The one star is because I had to before it would post.

We are totally satisfied with Expert driving school. Bruce was a very good instructor, had a safe car, arrived on time, and very professional. He carefully taught our son rules of the road, and what to expect at DMV test. He spaced the appointments out a little, and picked our son up from school twice to practice driving nearby during busy times. Most of the lesson times were spent with my son actually driving, except for 1 short break per lesson. He texted our son directly with appointments, and was very personable. Highly recommend!

COMPLETE FRAUD! This person is absolutely horrible. My daughter completed the online portion and never received the certificate. Her test is tomorrow. I called Bruce to verify that he mailed the certificate and had to deal with a very loud, rude and unprofessional idiot. He refused to verify the address he mailed it to because he had already left it in a voicemail.

I asked if I could pick the certificate up, he said it would be a fee involved, but he said he would be nice and give me a "discount". Immediately I regretted not following my intuition about this guy. He accused me of losing the certificate because according to him "90 percent" of people lose it. Sounds like he has 90 percent of his customers not receiving what they paid for.

After dealing with him I called other driving schools and told them my situation. BRUCE IS WELL KNOWN IN THE DRIVING SCHOOL COMMUNITY FOR RIPPING PEOPLE OFF! Luckily I only paid for the online portion. So if Bruce has to steal $18 to survive I feel sorry for him. Since I paid with credit I will contact my bank before he commits more fraud. Thieves will stop at nothing. Oh I forgot to mention the text he sent after the phone call. Again accusing me of losing the certificate and still offering his discount. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL!

WARNING: DO NOT CHOOSE THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!! Bruce who was our driving instructor was beyond disrespectful from start to finish for our driving lesson. We scheduled two driving lessons back to back; one for my twin brother and one for myself. After my brother finished his lesson Bruce neglected to even come into our house to greet me or review how my brother did with my parents, instead what happened is my brother came into the house telling me that I needed to hurry up because Bruce didn't feel the need to get out of the car.

As soon as I got into the car, ,Bruce didn't tell me anything about the dashboard and he wouldn't tell me where to go, or which streets to go on. He just told me a street name and assumed that I would know where it was. Bruce would constantly criticize me for "not knowing my own neighborhood" and time after time he would talk down about my brother's driving experience and how he didn't do well, and his performance was not adequate. Bruce was very unprofessional saying "what the hell" and "some drivers don't know how to use their damn blinker." He talked about his personal life and how he thinks his son is a "lazy slob" and went on and on about his "bitch wife." Around 30 minutes into the lesson he decides to take a call with a client and doesn't get off the phone for at least ten minutes and then half way through the lesson we take a break at a McDonald's.

I decided to text my parents and let them know that I was uncomfortable and asked if they could pick me up. My Dad called Bruce and said that "they needed to talk." After hearing this Bruce questioned me for over 15 minutes and upon finding out that my parents were going to pick me up he got very frustrated and started to tell me that this was unbelievable and he has never had anyone quit on him in his 15 years of driving lessons.

Time went by and then Bruce had the audacity to say, "it isn't that hard to find this Mc'donald's." After my parents arrived I found out that my brother had a very similar situation, and that Bruce also was unprofessional from the moment he got in the car. Bruce denied everything and said that he was a great teacher until finally my brother spoke up and confronted him about how he felt about his driving lesson. Months after this awful experience my Mom called him asking if he could write letters for both me and my brother certifying that we took the first lesson so we could move onto the second lesson with another driving school. Bruce denied the request and said that my parents talking with him because I was uncomfortable was "totally uncalled for" when my Mom asked why, he just said "Okay Bye" and hung up the phone. If you care about your kids, DON'T subject them to this horrible driving "instructor"!

My Granddaughter took behind the wheel driving from Bruce. I highly recommend this school to anyone for a quality driving school. Bruce went the extra mile to ensure my Granddaughter passed the road test. Bruce's experience paid off. Bruce taught excellence, safety and being professional behind the wheel. I am confident that Sydney will develop into a better and safer driver because of Bruce's patience.
