Never got to drive because this company would not answer the phone at all. I really feel like I got scammed. I paid for three lessons and didn't get an email confirmation, their website is outdated, and they would answer the phone during business hours. This is my second day trying to get in contact with them. I will be demanding a refund :/

This is a good driving school. It was super easy to schedule my lessons with them and make payments, Jackie was always polite and helpful to me. All the instructors were very patient and pointed out my mistakes promptly. At the same time they never made me feel nervous and chatted very casually while driving. Its makes a lot of difference when you are driving for straight two hours : I had total 12 lessons with them and most of the time Geo was my instructor. He was very friendly and encouraging! Definitely made me a better driver! Thank you all of you at A1 driving school! PS : they loose one star for messing up my pick up address more than twice.

Thank you so much A1! Geo, my instructor, was amazing! I was a bit nervous in the beginning, but Geo made the lessons fun and I started to be more relaxed. He adjusts to your needs, encourages you, and is always positive. He really believes in you and your skills. Thanks to him I gained a lot of confidence and started to enjoy driving. Finally I got my license and cannot express how much Geo helped me to be a better driver.

I hadn't driven a car before, and now thanks to A1 Driving School, I got my license on my first attempt! Special thanks to Geo, great teacher. He observes your driving keenly and customizes the lessons to develop what you lack. Also thanks to Jackie for prompt and efficient customer support.

Great experience! Surprising part was my instructor had much more confidence than I had that I will pass the Drive test in 1st attempt! This instructor has hell lot of patience and is so cool and friendly - start of my class, my view of me driving in US was different and after 1 class - I could see myself driving in US! I recently moved from India to US and used to drive back in India. Amazing person to learn with, knows how to boost up confidence in his student and train him accordingly.

I chew his brains a lot with my questions during my class - as in why not this way etc etc and he answered them all explaining the rules! So do i still need to mention his name here. Any guess. Ofcourse! It has to be Geo! Thank you A1 and Jackie who mapped me to Geo as my Driving Instructor. Thank you Geo! You Rock!

I was completely new to driving and had Geo as my instructor. He was a great teacher and extremely patient with me. He goes over driving rules and techniques pretty meticulously and also understands very well that each person has his/her own unique driving style. I took five classes and could feel the difference between how I started and finished. I got my license at my first attempt too! Thanks, Geo and A1! :
