My friend and I took our driving lessons here and drove around with our instructor. He let us drive were we would normally go. We drove the actual routes that we would be driving after we were licensed. he said that was a good Idea and pointed out all the hazards to watch out for. We drove to our High School, jobs and friends houses. Totally fun 6 hours of learning.

My parents took me to get my permit at the dmv today. I called this driving school and was able to get a last minute appointment for my first driving lesson TODAY. What a great day I had and loved being able to drive so soon.

This review is from a Police Officer. I hope it helps everyone. My wife and I enrolled our daughter in this DMV program. We met with the owner and were informed of how the program works in detail. This was the only driving school to explain the whole process to us. We had talked with other driving schools that were not so nice or informative. The instructor came out to our house and enrolled our daughter. This was a plus ! They have a great online program for the class which I sat down and took a lesson to see what kind of things my daughter was learning. Very educational and direct. My daughter passed the class and the instructor came back to our house to give us the DMV forms she would need for her exam at the DMV. She passed with a 100%. The instructor came back to the house on 3 different occasions and took my daughter driving for about 2 hours at a time. From the class to the driving lessons my daughter was very happy and informed us she could teach us about our driving now as well. TEENAGERS. This driving school did an outstanding job and gets my families recommendation. EXCELLENT ! I have seen this driving school training around my area before and have observed proper driving and teaching techniques.

I give driving tests to the public at a local DMV office. This driving school did not know my position. I want to give this driving school high praise ! From the very beginning to the end. The class & driving lessons were done in strict fashion and by the book. All the information we were given and the instruction my daughter had received was top notch and my daughter learned by the book. She enjoyed the learning and driving. Good job guy's ! I will be passing your number around to her friends.

I just got home from my first driving lesson. My teacher gave me scores and 4 was the best possible. I got mostly 4's and some 3's. I was nervous but excited and tried to be a good learner. I'm happy now and can't wait for my next lesson. Traffic can be scary !

I am surprised by the comment below ! I enrolled my son in the driving program and the phone calls we had were just fine. My son went from a novice beginner to a very good driver. We had some scheduling conflicts on our side and this school was very flexible with us. My son had nothing but good things to say about his experience and it showed in his driving. 5 STARS FROM US !

I sat through a class for drivers ed and my MOM had me take this online one too. I thought it would be a waste of time. I was surprised that I learned more information here than in the classroom I took. I feel I will Pass the written test with ease at the DMV now.

I want everyone to know what an exceptional driving school this is. Kevin was just the most accommodating instructor throughout our whole process. We had a driving test scheduled today and some how forgot we needed the last driving lesson to finish and get the required completion paper for the DMV. We called and Kevin made it possible for my daughter to have her last lesson right before her driving test today. He even dropped my daughter off at the DMV to meet us and we had our paperwork finally. He waited with us and when my daughter was through with her driving test she walked right up to Kevin with a big smile and showed her DMV score sheet which showed 2 points missed out of a 100. She as well as we were thrilled that Kevin made it all possible. Great instructor who is the best. BIG A+

This parent is just a NIGHTMARE and she just will not PAY her bills ! She just keeps spewing negative assertions and really needs to just move on and enjoy her summer. People that act like this have other problems in their lives. 20 years we have been teaching thousands of students and this parent could possibly be the worst one to deal with yet. Love to help all ! This is what you get sometimes in this business. I bet she responds again. OH BROTHER !

The owner of this business is extremely unprofessional and he puts his students at risk during lessons by arguing on the phone. His “additional” charges are not in his contracts and he doesn’t disclose them until the final lesson. He continually cancels lessons and then has the audacity to charge you if you don’t or can’t reschedule within a certain amount of time. He is childless and immature and hangs up on people during conversations. He needs anger management classes and he has brought my daughter to tears! He was unprincipled when dealing with another professional associated with the DMV regarding transfer of paperwork so she could complete her driving test. Steer clear of this person he is a NIGHTMARE!!

This student waited more than 6 months to have a first driving lesson after enrolling ! She incurred certain Driving School program fees during her training program. This family knew about our program policies, which she and her mother were informed of by the Driving School contract. All students are given this contract after enrolling. Through-out her training program she did not want to pay and was given waivers on some fees but had to pay at least 1. The last lesson she and her mother wanted to ARGUE, manipulate and control the conversation. They were going to have to pay ! They refused so her lesson had to keep being rescheduled for non payment. This girl is a good and careful driver. It is just unfortunate this family does not like to pay people when they have to. We do not really ever get families that act this poorly.

The operator of this school Kevin Cruz was not professional. He was discourteous and disrespectful. It is nearly impossible to reschedule appointments. He has changed our last one three times. He does not return calls. The way he talks to students and parents is condescending. He brought up all these charges right before the last appoinment. He is AWFUL and incredibly mean. I DO NOT recommend him to anyone.

I used to teach driving instruction for a number of years. This Driving school was perfect for my grandson. They came out and picked up a nervous teen and brought back a confident young man. He talked about how happy the instructor made him by calming all his fears and tackling just about every road concern he had. This school is the kind I would of liked to work for. Good natured instructor and very knowledable on the DMV handbook.

This Driving School I have been seeing Teaching around my patrol area. They always seem to be very careful in following the rules of the road. The instructors in the cars are right on top of it. This is why I SIGNED my Daughter up. She drives like I would like her too. She was very aware of her driving and of all the rules she needs to follow. Excellent Instruction. I recommend them

Hi everyone, Happy 2009 ! Looking forward to another list of positive Student comments for this ongoing new year. For 20 years we have been Instructing and Teaching over 8,000 teens how to drive. Chances are we have probably taught one of your friends. We have a full service Driving School from the FREE classroom instruction to the in-car training especially taking students for their driving tests. Teens, Adults, Seniors and the Challenged. Our community Driving School does it all. We really do enjoy being apart of our students first and continued driving experiences. The careful,caustious and courteous driving foundations and behaviors they learn will lead them to a lifetime of Independence and Responsibility. Parents Teachers and Companies have all relied on us for these qualities. Although not everyone will be happy and satisfied as we do deal with Adolescent Teens and Parents who feel a need to cause exaggeration, strife and conflict to many situations in their lives, that really are just fine. We are always ready willing and able to help all cheerfully. These kind of situations to be expected go with this kind of business. So everyone feel free to visit our website www.DRYversed.com and call for North Orange County (714) DRY-VING 379-8464 or for South Orange County (949) 4-6HOURS 464-0877. We will come right out to your House and sign you up to start our FREE classes. We are happy to relate that many and most of our students pass their written and driving tests in the very top of the DMV percentages. Pass, Pass and Pass !------- Kevin R. Cruz DRYversed.com
