Rivera's Driving School is your best choice in your journey to learning to drive. Michael is the best instructor you could have as a student. He ALWAYS made me feel confident about my potential. He wasn't just an instructor but a great friend! On my first attempt of the road test, I PASSED! And much credit goes to his methods of instruction. I would highly recommend choosing this driving school. Thank you Michael. - H. Singh

I bought a full package with this company, I only did 2 driving classes and had to ask for a refund. Everyone that I've encountered in the office was nice expect for the driving instructor. The service that he provides is horrible. You would believe that you're begging him to teach you how to drive or taking the courses for free. I don't know what his problem is, but I hope he finds happiness within himself one day.

Hi, wondering if this driving school is for you? Well it is they were very professional, helpful and organized and patient. My instructor was Michael. He was absolutely great and very helpful he understood my fears and helped me get over them. I purchased a package which included everything I needed. My appointments were scheduled to my schedule with no problem and no wait. Let's fast forward to Road test day.
I was nervous and Michael spoke to me with words of encouragement all the way to the site and to my surprise 10mins later I became a driver. I couldnt Believe it. Thank you Michael and Rivera's Auto driving school for instructing me on getting my license before my permit expired. Don't hesitate call and ask question you will not be disappointed.

If you want to learn how to drive and not just pass your road test go with Rivera's. I'm forever grateful for the awesome teaching and instruction I received from Michael. I began my lessons in August and have my license in October. Rivera's meets you where you, from picking you up at your door and dropping you back home for lessons, to affordable prices for lessons, 5 hour course and the 6 hour cours; I'm glad I went with Rivera's for my lessons and I would recommend that everyone give them a try you won't regret it!
