The drivers were absolutely amazing. Both Jamie and Luis helped me so much and because of them I passed my drivers test. They're also amazing instructors.

Great driving school with professional instructors. Happy I chose them. I wouldn't be a licensed driver if it wasn't for Atlas!

It would have been 5 stars but I did struggle to get in communication with the company and my instructor. My instructor was Jaime Felix and he's pretty strict but honestly it helps a lot because it shows he was serious about this. I had first had classes with Zuelema and she's nice but if you want to pass I suggest jaime he's great. I paid 2 hours of practice the day before my exam and 2 hours before my exam with the car and I was obviously nervous but I passed with his help as I felt he prepared me more than zuleima and I passed! Thanks to him and well not zuleima. Shes very nice though.

If you are a person who is terrified of driving in the SFV or in LA in general, this is the driving school for you - especially Erik. Eric. Erick? I dont know how he spells it, but that dude is the best. He knew I was coming in with a LOT of anxiety about driving. He was so patient and reassuring, while still holding me accountable when I made bad driving moves, too. I passed my driving exam on the first try with only 3 points knocked off, and I totally owe it to him. I got 4 classes plus the take you to the dmv for your exam service - it was a solid investment, worth every penny. Thank you all!

This a place you can trust for your teenager, they really help my daughter from beginning to end. They helped set up an appointment with the DMV for the driving test before her permit expired, Henry was great on the phone at answering all my questions, Zuleima and Eric the instructors were excellent.

I highly recommend this driving school. They were very honest and very economical compared to their competitions. The instructor assigned to my son was always punctual and patience. Instructor Zuleima was superb and always communicated my sons progression. My Son pass his driving test in the first try. Thanks to Mrs. Zuleima Bautista the whole experience was smooth. Thank You Atlas Driving School Horacio "Sr"

My driving instructor was Eric and he helped me get over a lot of my fears when it comes to driving. He was patient and relaxed and made me feel super comfortable. For people considering this school I would say DO IT! You won't regret it. They come get you at your place and then they drive you to a quiet street where you can start driving. I booked 3 days and then the driving test after which I highly recommend because while I was waiting to take my test I saw so many unprepared people taking the test not knowing what to do or where to go. Eric made me feel ready for the test and I passed on my first try! Olga the receptionist was really nice and called me to remind me of my appointments, It's a small school and sometime she steps out for lunch, just keep calling if no one picks up at first. I almost did not go there because I could not get a hold of her on the first day that I called. So glad I went there.
