Advantage Driving Was more then amazing in many many ways. I had Alex as my driver instructor and she was absolutely perfect, she is very calm, patient and a outstanding instructor, she's also an understandable person she help me become more confident with driving! I can go on and on about how wonderful she is, but not only her but her team as well they are so nice and welcoming it was just an awesome experience. I absolutely enjoyed Advantage Driving 11/10

From the first day, when we had the 8 hour class I knew that this was going to be an experience. Our class had Alex Piercey as our learning instructor and as you would think, sitting in a 8 hour class would be boring it was definitely not! I personally also had Alex as my driving instructor and she's awesome! She is a genuine person and makes everything a little easier to understand. Not only did she make me feel confident on the lessons but she made sure I was confident in myself to take the test! Thank you Alex. This place is awesome.

They are literally the most amazing driving company! I got in a really horrible accident and I have been scared to drive for YEARS! Susan and her team are so helpful and patient and made sure I knew what I was doing and taught me how to keep me and my little girl safe on the road! I couldn't thank them enough! I CAN EVEN PARALLEL PARK! Definitely worth it for adults and teens!

I finished my road test and last driving lesson in the last two days! Alex is an amazing instructor! The entire experience was great, especially for someone that has pretty bad anxiety when it comes to meeting new people. Everyone at Advantage made me feel at home and welcome. The experience in and of itself is well worth the money and it was a very fast and easy process!

This was our first experience with Advantage and I am so happy we decided to use this company! My daughter had very little driving experience prior to enrolling and was extremely nervous about the behind the wheel sessions. She was able to have a female driving instructor which was so helpful in putting her at ease. She actually looked forward to her next lesson!
The owner, Susan, was extremely responsive and patient during the entire process of my daughter completing the course and taking her behind the wheel exam for the DMV. We now have another student enrolled in this course as a result. I feel the investment of time and money was well spent. I have peace of mind knowing my kids are driving with a knowledgeable instructor who cares about their safety.
Both of my kids said the 8 hour class was actually fun and they appreciated being treated with respect. The smaller class sizes were also a bonus for them. We have had an all around excellent experience with Advantage and we appreciate all the personal attention we received. Thank you!

Great experience especially during a pandemic. My daughter felt safe during the class and driving experience. She had positive comments about her driving instructor Alex. She was comfortable taking her driving test with Susan. I will be returning to Advantage in a few years once my other children are of age.

When I stumbled across Advantage Driving School and read all the reviews, I amediately knew that this school was going to be the school for me and I was more than willing to go 2 hours to get there. I took my test today and passed! Even though I was only there for 3 hours, I felt welcomed, comfortable, and as if I was in a family environment. Mrs. Susan was nice, helpful, and very informational.
She taught me every maneuver that I needed to know behind the wheel in 2 HOURS! I will say that I will most definitely take what I learned today and apply it every time I drive. I highly recommend this School!
