Local Driving School earns five stars from me! My daughter took her driving lessons through them and we are very satisfied. Don L. is the best instructor. He is so thorough, teaching far above and beyond what others do and more than the minimum needed to pass the test. There was a bit of a mix-up with our lessons and the owner called me personally to straighten things out. I have recommended this company, and specifically Don L., to all my daughter’s friends.

Watch our dedicated instructor, Don, as he introduces himself and shares his passion for teaching safe driving skills. This video highlights his approach to making learning enjoyable and effective.
I love this place! My instructor, Don, was an old school kind of guy, but that means he made sure I did things right. I learned multiple things that weren’t on the test, but I would need in the real-world. He taught me to parallel park, which I thought would never happen. Everybody has been amazing and I would recommend this place to everyone who needs a teacher.
They are so amazing at Local Driving School! Especially my driving instructor Don. He’s amazing at what he does and I couldn’t have asked for someone better.
I am new to driving and took classes from them.Had 3 different instructors for my lessons but all of them were very professional in teaching and explaining things.My favorite one is Don as he is the best in what he does! Gary is very professional , so is Jyoti! Had my driving test cleared in first go! Thanks a ton for helping me LOCAL DRIVING SCHOOL TEAM !!
When i was looking for a driving school it was a no brainer to go with this school. my two older sisters went through this school and my parents were very pleased with the service they received and also the price. on my first class my instructor Don was very nice and gave me really helpful tips for the actual driving test for the DMV. if you are looking for an affordable and good driving school i highly recommend this school coming from a teenager point of view!
