Al helped me get my license in under 24 hours! I didn’t think it was possible but he believed in me. He really pushes you but you are guaranteed to pass with the specialist! I 100% recommend!

Gracias Mr. Al soo much. I’m grateful you were able to help me after I had some issues with a different driving instructor.
I appreciate you for keeping your word and expressing tough love that ultimately helped in the end. You have obvious knowledge of vehicles and I learned some helpful tips.

Al is the utmost professional. Wherever you might be in the process of learning to drive, I guarantee he can get you to the finish line in getting your license. Beyond that, dealing with Al several times was an absolute pleasure and helped make the entire experience enjoyable. Call Al the Specialist right now if you've been debating on getting help to get your license!

I couldn't parallel park for my life! I was so nervous and anxious behind the wheel but Al really shaped me up. His service is like boot camp. He plays no games and teaches exactly what you need to pass the test on the first try! He does great work! Would highly recommend.

I know I'm truly getting the best knowledge here. He shows tough love on the road and I feel like that's the best way to learn. I feel very confident and I've only had three lessons.

Al the specialist is a very good instructor. I passed my test on the first try, and I only needed two lessons. Before him I was very inexperienced and was afraid to drive. Now i am confident and can manage the roads with a lot of ease. He teaches you to be a good driver as well as a safe driver. Most importantly he makes you feel comfortable by making you laugh and by being patient with you as you learn. He finds out what driving skills you struggle with the most and he doesn’t stop helping you until you get it right. As I drove for the driving test I kept thinking of everything Al told me to do, and at the end, the examiner told me that I did a very good job.

Al is AWESOME

He is charismatic and cool. He helped me overcome my problems with aggressive driving, turning, and parallel parking. If you need someone to train you, Al is the man to do it.

Al really is an efficient driving teacher. He is kind of strict, but he knows how to teach you driving safely and how to pass the road test. He made you feel the test is easy, and it is very essential to learn from him!

Awesome

When I took my first lessons thought I knew how to drive but I didn't. After a few lessons I became very informed. Eventually after my instructor Al scheduled my test for me I passed with all if the knowledge he gave me.

Well let me share my journey to my license thru this driving school. I first call Paul Driving for my first appointment. Their receptionist name Diane screwed up everything because she put me on schedule, give me the name of the instructor but voila, no one showed up because she did not inform the instructor. I wrote a review telling how unprofessional Diane is. I received a call from Al apologizing for what happened and offered me immediate schedule with his son Chris. Since i believed everyone deserves a second chance so I said okay. But almost everyday i received a call from Al asking me to remove the review I first wrote since he apologized and make up for the mistakes. He didnt stopped calling me until i got tired from his phonecalls so I removed it. (Manipulated reviews right?) After 2 driving lessons with chris, im still disappointed because i still not learn what i supposed to learn such as parking other than parallel. Someone even told me "you drive forward, backward, turn left & right but you dont know how to operate the vehicle" which is I admit is correct.

On my first road test schedule, I switched from Chris to Al and guest what, my weakest point which is making turns without hitting the curve is the reason that i failed the test. I hit it obviously. Second try we focus on that and this time I made it. But Al seeing how poor I park (its the parking similar to mall parking were you will put your car in between two cars in a vertical way didn't not make up for that (its a part of driving lesson isn't it?) Instead he criticize me for that so i told him, well your son didn't teach me that what do you expect. He just laughed and said now you wanna blame my son? Well, who else, he didnt teach me that in two lessons (4hours) and looks like you will not show me either in another two lessons i had with him. So until now, considering i have my license plus 2 lessons with chris plus 2 lessons with Al plus all the money I spent, I still dont know how to do that parking.

They will just teached you how the road test is gonna be not the must-know-how kind of thing in driving. Now I believe with this person when he told me that "not all person with drivers license know how to drive and operate vehicles. Some of them are scripted drivers that in the event things go wrong on the road the end result is accidents and its their fault because they dont know what to do".

So for those people who wants to enroll in this driving school, make sure that its worth every penny. Driving is not just stop and go on traffic lights. It must be the whole package so to speak.

P.S.

If you are looking for car and they mentioned to you they sell some, don't believe it. You will end up wasting your time talking about it.
