I would highly recommend seeking another place for driving lessons/DL testing and i will inform of my experience. I purchased a 4 hr course and a Drivers License testing with this company for my 17 year old son. I informed “Sunil” that my son had lost his permit card and that I only had a photo of the Permit and she asked me to text her the photo of the Permit card, which I did, and I have saved in my text messages. I paid the course, $320.00. My son took his driving lessons and the instructor was great, no complaints there. However, when we arrived for my son to take his driver license test ‘Sunil’ (supposed owner) informed that the test could not be taken without the actual permit card. I asked her why she had not informed me of that since the beginning and I would have ordered it online. She proceeded to tell me that I never told her the permit was lost and she fragmented a story that I told her that the permit had stayed in the house and that is why she took the money for the services. So I reminded her that is not what happened because I would have never said that the permit was in the house because that permit was lost months ago, so why would I say that the permit was in the house? I asked her if she was calling me a liar. She proceeded to behave aggressive and loud and combative to the point she walked out of the door from her reception area and got in my face. All this INFRONT of my son and other clients. This was not an experience I wish on anyone especially being that my son was there and I would just like to warn of the unprofessionalism and disrespect conducted by this person who says she is the manager/owner. There was a gentlemen who worked there and attempted to diffuse the situation and refunded me $100.00. However, please be aware from my experience and the reviews i am now seeing on this company, the manager/owner is highly unprofessional, disrespectful and a ticking time bomb.

Absolutely terrible. Teachers were never on time and constantly on the phone DURING lessons. At one point during the actual exam the teacher had his toddler son LOOSE in the back seat and not attached to his car seat and told me to ignore him. Totally unprofessional and frankly should be shut down due to legal violations. Would NEVER recommend to anyone. DO NOT use this school by any means. If I could give this school negative stars I would

Great experience with the school. Instructors and the manager are knowledgeable, polite and professional.
The school is certified to test you for the driving exam, so if you pass you will only need to go the DMV to get your license! Saves a lot of time. Also, a very convenient location in Coral Gables. Definitely recommend!
