Had a great experience with Auto Safety Driving School. They helped me gain confidence on the road and got me ready for the driving test which I passed on the first attempt! The instructors Billy, John and Colleen who I learnt with are excellent! I would definitely recommend this driving school a 100% to anyone who wants to learn driving well! Five stars from me!Posted on Ed GonzalezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Colleen was absolutely wonderful!Posted on Leonardo Gonzalez CastroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but good things to say about this driving school. All instructors are the best at what they do, super professional and can explain advanced concepts with the simplicity of a virtuoso. With them you are in good hands and got no excuses for not having a driver's license. Special thanks to Latonya, Brandon, Billy, Colleen and Aaron, you guys were awesome!Posted on Leila kusterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Loved all the instructors! Amazing teachers!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️Posted on Alexis RiceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Today was my first Driving Lesson with Billy York. He was very knowledgeable and personable. He gave me a lot of positive reinforcement given how anxious I am at driving. I got 19 miles of driving experience which was very needed. He also gave me constructive feedback that I needed like refrain from hesitating while driving because that can cause an accident. I am very excited for my next lesson. Edit: 3/1/2026 So much has happened I do not know where to begin. I signed up for the 12 lesson package. I will have my 9th lesson this week on Tuesday. Since having my first Driving Lesson with Billy I have improved SIGNIFICANTLY in driving. I have had Billy, John, and Colleen as driving instructors. Billy is hilarious and his favorite saying is "stupid is as stupid does". John is the type of instructor where if he isnt saying anything that is a good thing. If he's saying something than it is a correction which is also a good thing in its own way. COLLEEN is going to be your BIGGEST cheerleader ever!!! She gives a lot of positive encouragment and reinforcment. She is patient and unbelievably kind. She is knowledgable and affirming. I have invited her to my graduation this semester which says alot about how much Colleen, Billy, John and Auto Safety Driving School has supported me in this stage of my life. The vast majority of my lessons where with her. I have gotten so close to her in these past months of driving courses. After my 8th lesson Colleen told me that she thinks I am ready for the driving exam. I PASSED THE DRIVING TEST ON THE FIRST TRY because of COLLEEN and Auto Safety Driving School. I paid an extra $400 on top of the cost of the 12 lesson package just to prepare for the test, get a refresher, and use the Auto Safety Driving School vehicle that we learn how to drive in on the exam. Colleen stayed with me the entire time. MONEY WELL SPENT. These next 4 lessons will be addressing interstate, U-turns, and parallel parking. None of these will be on the exam. My instructors were all on time, patient, and kind. I was sick in Late 2025 and has issues with my eyes so I had to cancel my lesson and Auto Safety Driving School was gracious and let me cancel it as a one time courtesy without a cancellation fee which I appreciate so much! I was only a now-show once and never again (long story). Otherwise I am completely satisfied with my experience with Auto Safety Driving School and would recommend them to students and parents who value teaching their loved ones the way of the road in a way that is knowledgeable and safe. You will recieve progress/evaluation reports after every lesson and you will recieve pictures of you learning how to drive in the car with a brief synopsis after lessons to that will be beneficial to anyone that is invested in your learning how to drive process. Auto Safety Driving School is not for privileged and disrespectful know-it-alls who believe no one can tell them anything. Please value every instructors time, be open and receptive to their feedback, and be appreciative towards them.Posted on CrystalTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ As a mom, I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible experience my child had at Auto Safety Driving School. Thanks to Colleen’s amazing training, my daughter earned her license with confidence and skill. Colleen’s knowledge, professionalism, and especially her patience made all the difference. She took the time to explain everything clearly and helped ease my child’s nerves behind the wheel. I truly saw her confidence grow with every lesson. Colleen was hands down the best teacher we could have asked for. I highly recommend this school to any parent looking for supportive, high-quality driver education!Posted on Erin CockrellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Purchased 6 sessions for my daughter to help get her license. All instructors were great! We had Billy the most who was wonderful! She learned much more than I could have taught her. Was a great investment and she passed her test!Posted on Daniel LeytonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I really liked how the instructor handled himself. Calm completely throughout, only two requests are 1), an easier car to break, and 2), a system to where Mom and I get paper receipts.
