Most parents would be lying if they said they were ready to let their teenagers start to drive. It's scary. I went to Danville Driving School because it was recommended by a friend. I'm glad I did. Both my sons passed on their first try.

My mom made me do the Driver Education class even though I was against it. I learned a lot, especially some things I won't ever forget. I guess it just goes to show that you're never too cool for school.

Gary has been great. He seems to know exactly what my daughter is capable of, and after each lesson she feels more and more confident. He is always on time and professional.

My daughter had a very bad experience learning from Gary. Gary was unprofessional & his management's reaction left a lot to be desired. It was my dauughter's first time driving & he was extremely impatient, he yelled at her when she was not able to do it right. that made her very nervous & made it very hard to learn. To make matters worse he said things like - he doesn't want his $20,000 car getting crashed ( indicating that she was doing so bad); went on to say that what she learnt in one hour, other kids learn in 30 mins.
My daughter was crestfallen at the end & started to believe that she is such a bad driver even before her driving journey began. We don't recommend this school at all. I called and complained about it, & did not get an earnest apology from their management. She felt like that she was ready to change the instructor & gave us a refund for the one hour, that was enough.
