I passed the first time thanks to Charlie! I was very nervous about driving, but he did a great job at keeping me calm and focused! Highly recommend!

Charlie is the worst. He curses, was late for every appointment, kept accusing my son of being on medication and when he did show up he would blow his horn obnoxiously in the driveway. My first son failed his driving test and after nine of the ten lessons my second son still doesn't know how to parallel park. A terrible experience and a complete waste of money.

At 30 years old, after living in Orange County for 3+ years, I finally decided I couldn't use the "I grew up in NYC" excuse any longer for not having a driver's license. I looked up driving schools in my area, found Plaza, and decided to go with their 10 lesson package based on my desire to take as many lessons as possible, their reasonable pricing, and their stellar reviews.

And I'm glad I did! I took my lessons with Charlie, the owner, and passed my road test on the first try. I can't recommend Plaza (and Charlie) enough for both teens and adults!

I enrolled my son in driving lessons with Plaza Auto Driving School and it was one of the best decisions I made. I saw improvement in my son's driving skills after every lesson. Instructor Laurie was amazing in how she taught my son how to parallel park. I was able to the work with the skills my son obtained and applied it in practice. The fantastic news Is my son passed his driving exam first time.

I am certain the lessons my son had with Instructor Laurie played a significant part in the improvement of his driving skills. My son passed his driver exam first time. Plaza Driving School are first rate and I will use their services again.

Plaza Driving School is awesome! The instructors are patient, experienced, and friendly, and the services they offer are up to date and very informative. Before taking lessons with Plaza, I had a lot of trouble passing my road test. But after one lesson with Charlie, the owner, I felt extremely prepared and I ended up passing! I highly recommend this driving school. :

I passed the road test on 02/28/14. The instructor Charlie is good and provide basic instruction of road test during the lessons which helps me to pass the test in first attempt and knows different languages which is easy to communicate. Share good knowledge and experiences in 5 hr Class. At the end you have to practice a lot before going to road test. Zohaib Ali
