Instructors sometimes arrive a few minutes late. This is most always due to traffic. Please allow us enough time to accomplish the lesson. You will receive the full time for which you paid.

Training Cars

Our training cars are equipped with a training brake, additional mirror and other safety features. We only us Honda Civics. With the exception of our identifying logo on the cars (back window and left and right side panels) the cars are unmarked for privacy. Students enjoy the anonymity and it makes them much more calm. Calm drivers are better drivers. See? Everyone wins.
