I had great experience with the Tri-Valley Driving School. The owner, Vince, is terrific in accommodating all my needs. I requested to change the driving instructor after a few lessons with one of his driving couches. Then I drove with BJ for another three lessons. BJ was great in teaching me how to gain better car control and drive defensively. I passed my test without any problems.

I highly recommend this company. Both my kids have had their driver's training (behind the wheel) at Tri-Valley Driving School. I couldn't be more impressed with their customer service and flexibility with scheduling. They were also very helpful with advice on how to deal with the DMV. In addition, my children both learned to drive really well as a result of their lessons. I would recommend Tri-Valley Driving School to any local parents looking for high-quality training for their young drivers.

Today my daughter passed the test and received her license!! Tri-Valley Driving School (TVDS) was instrumental in teaching her good driving habits. They took time to explain in details what areas she needed to work on between appointments. The staff was attentive and helpful with our scheduling needs. About 3 hours prior to an appointment, we received a call notifying us the car had broken down and they needed to reschedule.
They contacted us immediately when the problem arose and worked with us to fit a reschedule into our busy lives. This is my second child to go through TVDS and both passed with flying colors at first try! We have one more to go and will definitely return to TVDS.
