South Bay Driving School is the best. My daughter took lessons with the school. Her main instructor was Alford. All I can say is Alford is the best! My daughter was very nervous and not confident about driving. Alford built up her confidence and made her feel so comfortable behind the wheel. She was well prepared for her driving test and today she’s an excellent driver. Additionally, I had an instructor from the school take my daughter to the DMV to take her driver’s exam. I felt she would be less nervous….and, it worked out great. Thank you South Bay Driving School!!

I’ve used this company twice now for my two daughters. Over all good experiences, and they get the job done. One daughter did not like one of her her driving instructors, and thought she was not paying attention to her or teaching her anything. Second daughter seems pleased, just had her first lesson yesterday. I met the instructor, he was very nice!

Tonight I saw one of their cars parked for 15 minutes in front of a fire hydrant with his hazard lights on (like that makes it okay). Funny enough, but then I see him make a u-turn across a double yellow in front of another car, guy’s on his cell phone, he makes another cross through a double yellow with his hazard lights still going full tilt. Beautiful irony, with the “driving school” signs all over it eh? Apparently not the best source of driving best practices.

South Bay Driving School is extremely supportive and helpful. Their staff is one of the best in the South Bay and made my experience well worth it. Truthfully, I was a really terrible driver before visiting this school. Theresa taught me skills to become a better driver and to ace my driving test. I feel like a completely new driver on the road, from making new habits to destroying old ones. I highly recommend this school to anyone looking for help and insight for the DMV’s drivers test.
