Very helpful, but not perfect.

The instructors are very helpful and are good are building knowlage as well as making sure the students are aware of the dangers of the road. The class lenth of one week seems a little long since most of what we learned was fit into the first three days, but that's hardly their fault. Overall I'd say they are very kind and helpful to starting drivers.

Wonderful instructors. Very knowledgeable and helpful. The week my daughter spent in class was absolutely what she needed. I would recommend this class to anyone with a teenager who is approaching driving age.

Taking the at home class and obtaining the permit was no problem; however, a year later, now trying to get my license, all of these other requirements are coming out of the woodwork. A week before I go to get my license, we find out all of these things that the academy never mentioned. Not only did they "forget" to inform us that the online class is not the only thing you need, they then expect us to pay $400 more for the portions they "left out," and expect us to wait another 2 months for them to have time to deal with us. They are not worth your time or effort. If you have been scammed or screwed over by them, contact the National Driver Training Institute. They will help you recover from your bad experience and get your license in no time.

The only school to choose!

Every body in my school that I know of has gone though American Driving Academy. They are the best! Keep up the good work.

All the reviews below were written by the same guy, who happens to work there!

I know this because I worked there until about 4 days ago. I quit because of their lack of morals and the fact that they lie to their customers. These people are NO GOOD, one of their old instructors is in jail for committing fraud, they are being investigated by homeland security as we speak! DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS PLACE. I am sorry I ever worked there.

Very Happy Mom

I was terified for my son to start driving,I called several driving schools and did not feel comfortable sending my son to them but when I called American Driving Academy I immediatly felt at ease, they was very knowledgable and I felt I could trust them with one of the biggest steps I have had to take as a parent. Their class totally exceded my expectations and I'm very grateful that I chose them with basically "my son's life". He learned to be a safe driver and I can not ask for anything more!!!

The Best in Colorado Springs

I can tell you this is the best driving school in Colorado Springs. They are friendly and know all the answers to DMV related questions. They have many great instructors and they are located right in front of the DMV. I am happy to give the company a five star rating.

Customer service

I didn't think my teen would ever learn to drive. The driving instructor did an outstanding job and told me how she was doing after each lesson. I love the fact I can go to them on Facebook and see other people that I know that used their school. They treated me right and made me feel comfortable. I love the fact that their employees are veteran, more mature people. I highly recommend this school!

SHADEY

This company hired some scuzzy guy who was doing illegal things and as a result I (along with about 1400 other kids) lost my license! PLEASE do not use this company! Do a Google search for American Driving Academy Denver lose license, and read that very carefully. Save your child the embarrassment of what I went through, go somewhere else! By the way, the Pueblo office is the headquarters for the company, something the news channels never really told anyone...

Don't Trust This Place!!!!!

I registered for my daughter to take driving classes at this school because they advertised on their website, and on the phone, that it would be taught at her high school. We found out only a few days before the classes started that we had been victims of a bait & switch operation. They changed the location for their own convenience, and moved the classes all the way across town. Now there's no way I can get her to the classes with my work schedule. They could care less about your inconvenience and are more than willing to lie!!!
