Bayhill Driving School

This only gets 1 star because he showed up on time. My 15yo daughter was picked up from home for her 2nd driving session by a male employee named Gahfori Rafi. After this solo lesson my daughter was dropped back off at home, upset by a very awkward and uncomfortable experience. She said this man was peppering her with probing personal questions, including about her relationship status.

He also suggested they take a break in the shade. At that point she suggested ending the lesson because it was close to the time anyway. After she told me this I called him at the # he called from when he showed up for the session. He confirmed he was the driver and I proceeded to rip into him about how inappropriate his behavior was and that there was no way he would ever be in a car with my daughter again.

I insisted that her last lesson be with the first instructor, a woman. He apologized profusely and said he was a "new driver". I don't care! He should never be allowed alone with a female ever again!

I am extremely happy with BayHill Driving school Fremont. Thanks to the instructors at Bayhill driving school, I was able to pass my driver's test with confidence. The instructors are very helpul, patient and puctual. They have given many valuable tips that not only focus on passing the test but also help in the long run to be a safe and good driver!

I would like to specially thank JP, Veronica and Hashim for their valuable inputs and positive approach. I would highly recommend this school! Also thanks to Kumar for cooordinating and helping with the scheduling of classes seamlessly!

Highly recommend! Just go ahead look no further. Best instructors.great experience.

I highly recommend you come to Bay Hill if you need to learn or even fine tune your driving skills. Regardless of your expertise, the instructors and office members are extremely friendly and will ensure you are ready to pass the test. If I had to do it all over again, I would definitely be sure to come here.

The instructors are very kind, and know what they are doing. However, the customer service was worse than awful. I have never experienced such disregard for the people who pay you hundreds of dollars to do something the dmv legally requires. It's honestly just extortion. They never answer their office phones, never respond to voice mails, will tell you they will call you back but never end up calling back.

This company needs to staff considerate office workers, the experience of the customer is what should matter to them. they disregard any sense of professionalism and continue to prove they don't care at all about the job. This review doesn't reflect how good the instructors are, they are very considerate and kind. they make your driving experience amazing. Just get better staff.

Thanks for the humble instructor glad a friend of mine chose this Bay Hill driving School I learned the best technique that I should be focused I thought driving was easy as long I knew to let car on I was wrong if the simple safety and careful was missing plus how to used a technique are the best to learning first before I turned on the engine I realized My way isn't enough I am happy and secured to kept learning for became a good driver today is the special day finally I got passed for a new driver. Thanks for my instructor for being a good heart and devoted patience with me

Extremely happy with Bayhill Driving school! It was my first driving, so I was quite nervous. Hasim taught me step by step, carefully going over the basic manoeuvres until I understood them. He noticed the mistakes I made and corrected them exactly. Hasim is a fantastic and patient instructor. Highly recommended!

My instructor was Hayat. I only had three lessons with him but every one of them left me more educated and more confident. He saw my potential and often beloved in me more than I believed in myself and when I made mistakes he was always able to control the vehicle with precision and utmost safety from the passenger seat. I highly recommend this driving school. After only those few lessons with Hayat and some practice with parents at home I was able to pass my test and get my license on the first attempt.

Bay Hill Driving School is single-handedly responsible for helping me overcome driving anxiety, learning the fundamentals and become the successful driver I am today! JP was kind, calm and composed throughout all my lessons and I was able to pass my driver's test with ONLY 4 MINOR MISTAKES (All due to my own impatience haha). Couldn't be more grateful for JP and his team over at Bay Hill. Thank you!

Ok - updating yet again. The owner contacted me and apologized for the problems. He is going to give my son a half hour lesson to make up for the missing time and troubles, which is great. I was also told that when I schedule the final lesson in a few months the owner will again be the teacher. I really appreciate that they're taking the trouble to make things right.

I understand that problems can happen, and what really matters to me is when a place tries to correct for them, so this means a lot to me. I will post again once the final lesson is done and my son takes his test.

The instructors are professional and helpful, most importantly they know what they are doing. They work on your technique and provide tips for improving your driving skills rather than focusing solely on the driving exam. They are hospitable and friendly, and the office is well maintained. My overall experience was very pleasant and I highly recommend using their services!

Easily passed with this school's help! Highly recommend for sure. Can't wait to use my driving license

Great teachers that care about your success. Just passed my test with less than 3 mistakes less than an hour ago with only 2 classes. Pricing is significantly better than other schools. I would heavily recommend anyone interested in driving to book this school and to schedule early in advance. They are booked heavily because of their quality! Compared to other schools I have gone to, I was actually taught the EXACT methods of passing the test, including multiple test routes and exactly what would be tested.

Other schools will often have you run errands, pickup/drop-off people and constantly be on the phone with other customers DURING classes. Many other schools will also try to scam you into taking dozens of classes or trying to take more and more money from you. Nothing like that here. I would heavily recommend Bay Hill Driving School to anyone looking to get their license efficiently and at a fair price. Thank you so much!

I had a great experience with bay hill driving school. I was able to pass my driving test on the first try because of lessons from them. The instructors were patient with me and gave me a lot of good tips. We went around the DMV test area, that way I was prepared for the actual test. I recommend this driving school.

Update: the owner called me the same day I posted this review and apologized for the mix up. She then scheduled a new teacher to come out the next day. He was a much better instructor and never looked at his phone and also gave a lot of tips on how to pass the driving test. One star off still for the initial experience which had caused me to freak out and teach my daughter how to drive myself for the last 4 months.

I would like to recognize Paul Beck-Jensen for teaching my daughter how to drive. She was very timid and nervous at first until she got behind the wheel with Paul. He was very patient with my daughter and very thorough with her behind the wheel. His attention to detail such as properly holding the steering wheel and safe lane changes made her become a safe and confident driver.

As a parent you always worry about your child driving alone, however, Paul has taught her how to be a defensive driver which makes me sleep better at night. He spent extra time with her behind the wheel making sure she was confident and ready to take her driving test. I felt that he had a genuine concern for her success and safety. When taking the driving test she scored a PERFECT SCORE!

Absolutely no points were deducted! The DMV instructor knew that Paul had trained her based off the way she turned the steering wheel which we thought was funny but obviously this guy has a great reputation not just with his students but DMV as well. Thank you Paul and Bay Hill Driving School.

Extremely happy with Bayhill Driving school! Passed the test with ease thanks to the amazing tutors. The tutors are really good at teaching new drivers with little to no experience. They teach with patience and calmness. One thing that stood out for me was the fact the tutors are very positive and encouraging and they genuinely root for you to pass the test.

They prioritize and help you build a good foundation for the basics which also helps build confidence for new drivers. Great value for money as well. The lessons are reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

I took Bay Hill for a 1 hour drive class + car for drive test. I had taken a couple of classes earlier from another instructor in SF city and then used bay hill to get acquainted with Fremont DMV routes. They were really accommodating and helpful. I was running late from San Fransisco and they offered to pick me up from Bart instead of the scheduled pick up at Fremont DMV so I don't lose driving time.

In an hour I was given instructions on lane changes, pointers on pre drive test questions about the car, what to look for while yielding on right turns and things to look for while reversing. There were other really helpful things that were taught to polish my driving and becoming a safe driver-- all just in 1 hour. After the driving instructions, I was also at a risk of losing my drive appointment because of missing documents. JP quickly drove me to his office to print out my documents and his wife Prabhjot quickly drove me back in time for the drive test. Overall I'm glad that I could take the drive test and pass it with help from Bay Hill driving. Thank you!

Update- they called me yesterday and refunded my money. It seems that they are short staffed and they had to cancel lessons in order to keep the DMV appointments. I appreciate the fact that there are unplanned events and shortage of staff, however all you have to do is set the right expectations. If I had been contacted on Monday as promised, I would have easily understood and waited to set up the driving lessons for my son.

Not communicating with the clients is not a winning strategy. I hope they get the staff they need to run the business ---------- This is a scam, there is no one in the office nor answering the phone. I paid $307.67 on Saturday, called three times, left messages and no one has called me back. I decide to drive to the office and it is closed, there is no sign of activity. I will call my credit card to report them and hopefully get back my money.

HONESTLY STOP LOOKING AROUND AND CHOOSE BAY HILL DRIVING SCHOOL! all the instructors are so nice. They are so accommodating as well. I needed a car for my test today and I told them yesterday evening and they were able to do it for me! THE OWNERS ARE AWESOME! I loved driving with Singh, he was so nice to talk to and he called me after my test to see if I passed or not.

They take you to all the routes they think will be on ur test so when you take the test, you have been on all the routes. Honestly I haven't even driven other than for my lessons and afterwards I passed! Thank you so much for accommodating my tight 2 week schedule and thank you for the great experience. IF YOU WANT TO PASS, GO TO BAY HILL GREAT SERVICE GREAT PEOPLE

I already had driving experience in my own country and needed to polish my driving skills before behind the wheel test. I took 2hrs driving class + DMV test package the day before the test. The staffs were so nice and the instructor JP explained and taught me all details I should know when I take the test. I took their car for test and Veronica came along with me to DMV and she was also patience and nice. I passed the test and thank you all the staffs.

Really helpful instructors who helped me build good driving habits and explained everything thoroughly. The classes covered all the important topics and also left room for targeted questions. Highly recommend!

I was looking for a 2 hour crash course and driving test package. I had asked them to assign the same instructor in both the days. My instructor along with giving me the tips to pass the driving test at redwood city, he made me focus on good driving habits. He was always on time. He gave me 30 mins warm up before the test and boosted my confidence. He was very patient and pointed out the mistakes I was making. The car itself felt brand new and was Electric! I passed the test! I recommend this driving school.

Based on daughter's feedback about the instructor (who is the owner, BTW), I'd recommend you look elsewhere. Issues: * For the 2nd 2-hour session, instructor was constantly accepting and responding to calls. My daughter did not understand the conversations (as the instructor did not have convos in English w/the callers), but I think this is unprofessional to not by 100% focused on a student driver. * They DO NOT offer freeway training as part of the standard 6-hour package.

Nowhere on their site do they indicate they would not offer it as part of the standard package, so I guess this is an oversight on my part for not asking what I thought would be a standard part of the training package. If I do get ask for recos for training schools, this will be one I will surely steer friends and family away from.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Bay hill driving school is highly recommended very professional and helpful! Big shout out to Hayat! Without his help I wouldn't be able to Pass my Behind the wheel test For the First time! Also used bay hill driving school car for my test and met PAUL we drove around DMV and he gave me additional lessons that gave me confidence that I'll pass it and I did!

I recently passed my driving test, and I can say that I'm very satisfied with Bay Hill. My 1st lesson was also my first time on the road so I was pretty nervous, but JP was very patient and kept reminding me what to do. In my 2nd lesson, he gave me a preview about what would be on the test, which was useful. For the last lesson, he helped me brush up my skills, took me through some sample routes, and helped me gain some confidence with encouraging advice. JP really wants the best for you will give you feedback when necessary. Thanks to him, I was able to pass my test on the first try!

I highly recommend coming here for your driving school needs. The instructor all my children used was Paul. Paul is hands-down the one and only instructor I would want any of my friends or family to use. He is simply the best ever! He will teach your loved ones the proper way to handle your vehicle and manage the road. All my children passed their behind the wheel driving exam the very first time after having lessons with Paul.

Not only did they pass the first time they passed with nearly perfect scores. Passing the exam is great but what I appreciate most is that all my children now are safe and knowledgeable defensive drivers that I trust behind the wheel at any time during any weather. Ask for Paul and thank me later, you can't go wrong with his calm professional driving instruction.
