Wonderful instruction. Had Mr. Piper for my first lesson. Did a great job teaching the law and was very good at the driving instruction. Was very enjoyable to be around. I had Mrs. Achenbach for my last 2 lessons. Shes an amazing person, did a great job teaching me some of the little things that help to be a better driver. Shes the best instructor btw(: But overall had an amazing experience. Kinda wish the rating could go to 6 stars.

I scheduled the driver license test with Shield. Jeremy communicates well and is very professional with his job. However, Jeff the examiner has the most prejudice and angry attitude from the first moment he encountered me.
