I called to make an appointment for DMV test. They told me they would pick me up an hour before the test. 15 minutes past the promised time (gave them a grace period as LA traffic could be difficult) i called them to ask when the person would arrive and how I would know when my driver would be here. The person who answered sounded very reluctant when talking to me, as if they knew that they would be wasting my time. Perhaps they forgot my appointment but I never got picked up, no phone call explaining why, terrible communication overall, and i had to cancel my DMV appointment. Im glad i did not have to pay before the test, somehow i feel like a refund would have been a hassle to get. Would not recommend.

I took a total of 8h within a week and a half and passed my test. Prior to this I had failed my test many times over the years because I didn’t live in a city where people drove and I was always a very nervous driver and nervous about tests. I had three different instructors, all three were amazing and had their different styles of teaching but Miguel took me to the test and had really good calming energy and really helped me ace my test. My two other instructors were Paul and Adriana, both very patient and really good at explaining. I’m so happy I can finally drive in LA! The price is also pretty good Thank you again

I had my first lesson this afternoon. Everything went pretty well - my driving instructor was very patient and responsible. At the end of the lesson, he told me that he preferred me to pay for each lesson individually, which according to him is $75 each class because my zip code is close to the company and I was eligible for a discounted package, which would be $225 total for three classes. So after the lesson, I called the receptionist, Raoul, trying to pay for my lesson. I told him exactly what the instructor told me: to pay for an individual lesson, and I wanted to confirm whether it was $75 each lesson for my circumstance. But Raoul got very aggressive and said I was trying to pay less than I owed, because apparently, each individual lesson is $90 without a package. He continued yelling at me and kept cutting me off when I tried to explain. I tried to explain to him that I didn't want to take advantage of the driving school, nor did I want to give him any trouble - I just wanted to confirm what the right price for one individual lesson is. But he wouldn't listen, and when I asked him why he is treating me in such an awful matter, he said, and I quote: "I knew the moment you called that you were trying to take advantage of us. This is America, this is how American capitalism works. I am trying to teach you a lesson, this is not some BANANA COUNTRY. This is America, and that's how things work here.” He also said I was wasting his time and that I was trying to stop him from making money from other customers. Then he put me on hold TWO TIMES, each for several minutes while he answered calls from other customers. I was so shocked by what he said. During our conversation he showed no respect, nor any professionalism. At the end of the call, he told me that $75 per lesson was okay. But it wasn’t my purpose to negotiate the price down, and I felt humiliated. I don’t know what the whole deal about “America” or “banana country” was about. Is it because I have an Asian name? Unfortunately, although I had a great time learning from my instructor, I will have to switch to another driving school.
