Bakkers Driving School

I'm over the moon happy that I found Bakker's driving school for my son! Inexpensive and the amount of patience each instructor had, especially the owner Rodrick Stansbury, they all go above and beyond in my books! What I thought would take a long time, Rodrick helped my son ace his DMV behind the wheel test on his 1st try! Can't thank you guys enough! 5 Golden Stars All the way!

So I've got a wild ride of a five star review, so buckle up. I called up and booked some appointments with Bakker's for a few lessons; everyone was very kind and taught me a lot, professional, on time, helpful, etc. The owner is very polite and caring as well. However, for a lesson before the exam, the owner misremembered the time slot and didn't show up.

But he worked with me, refunded me, and we scheduled another time, he was very open, very kind, and I eventually did get my license. It was a bit of a mess getting everything sorted, and I know some would give it a one star, or a three star, but based on all of the instructors I met, their qualifications, their patience, and attitude, the place definitely deserves a five star review. Roderick is a stand up guy and was very willing to work around my schedule and help me plan everything out.

I've used Baaker for both of my boys now. I have been so impressed with them. They really worked with my complicated schedule to get the drives we needed. They were always really friendly and knowledgeable. They gave my boys lots of pointers and tricks to passing the test. They even took them to the DMV area where his appointment was so that he could get familiar with the roads. I recommend them to all my friends.

This is one of the best driving school and best people you'll come across. Rod and Cheryl both were so kind, patient and professional teachers. They went above and beyond to make sure I passed the test. Both have so much experience and they make sure to teach and practice everything to ensure that you pass the test. I 100% recommend Bakkers and Rod and Cheryl.

The quality of the instructors has definitely gone down since I used Bakkers 5 years ago for my older kids. My daughter was not taught driving techniques (such as parking, emergency lights, turning),t hey just drove around for 2 hours. For the last session, I asked the instructor, Cheryl, to drive around the Poway DMV and do the test route since she will be taking her driving test in 2 days. Cheryl took her to Del Mar and La Jolla instead.

She didn't help my daughter prepare for her test at all! Very unprofessional of her to take my kid driving around the beach instead of the DMV or her school, areas where it will benefit her the most. I definitely do not recommend this company! It's not worth your money.

My daughter had three different instructors for behind the wheel, and each had their own helpful tips and tricks that put her at ease. She just passed her drivers test with a perfect score- thank you for getting her so well prepared!

They helped my husband, age 70, drove trucks for 46 years to make sure he was ready for behind the wheel testing again in his car for license renewal. Extremely professional, very pleasant to work with and we highly recommend them for any driving school needs you may have! Couldn't have been any better experience.

The instruction given at Bakkers is extremely helpful. I recommend choosing Nicole Schmiege as an instructor. I was given great tips for the driving test and had all of my questions answered. Also, I felt very calm and relaxed for the entirety of the lessons. I didn't feel any pressure or stress at all when learning from Nicole. The customer service when calling Bakkers was fantastic as well. The gentleman on the phone was always patient with me, and made sure he did all he could to help out. I would give more stars if I could.

Bakker's Driving School is excellent! My two daughters all went with Bakker's and my younger daughter just passed the first time today. Her instructor Ms. Cheryl Peacock is very professional, patient and friendly. The whole driving training is solid and well structured. I highly recommend Cheryl and Bakker's Driving School!

I wish there is a 10 star option cause that's the rate I wanted to give to this driving school. 1. I like their convenient working hours. They also are flexible about schedule appointments. 2. The staffs are easy, friendly, and professional. My kid felt very comfortable with the staffs. 3. They work really hard to get your kids pass the drive test!

My kid didn't pass the drive test initially. I contacted them. The owner came to give another 2 hours free lesson for my kid. They even offered instructor Cheryl to take my kid to the actual drive test on the test day! It helped! 4. I had referred several friends' kids to this driving school. They all liked it:- I highly recommend this driving school.

My 17-year old daughter wanted a female instructor, so we selected Christine. Just as her bio states, Christine is gentle and patient! She provides just the right mixture of nurturing instruction and fun. She would be wonderful for any teenage girl, and no doubt for boys too. The staff at Bakkers are very pleasant and flexible about setup and scheduling. So in summary, I recommend Bakkers without hesitation. (This is definitely not the case with all driving schools. We've had poor experiences elsewhere.)

This is a great driving school! There are lots of choices when it comes to driving schools, but we have been very pleased in every way with Bakkers. The testing modules are very helpful and come complete with timers so you always know where you are in the process. The driving instructor that we had (Paul) was just fantastic! Paul was very patient and kind with our daughter and he gave her many useful tips and she came away from the lesson with a lot more confidence. We highly recommend Bakkers.

Had a very good experience with Paul would highly recommend. Just before first lesson my son got stingray sting and we were dealing with it as instructor arrived. Paul was so nice totally understood that he couldn't do lesson and I was so impressed that although instructor arrived to our house they did not charge. We have since had two lessons all went really well, while out on one lesson our friend spotted them and he was impressed how they were driving.

Paul is a great instructor - he made my daughter feel comfortable and relaxed. He also covered all of the tasks they will have to perform. He gave feedback after the lesson and let her know what to work on. All of the people I have dealt with in the office are extremely helpful and responsive as well.
