Thank you so much for the kind words and fantastic review. It was so good to see how far you came and how you were able to conquer your hesitation to drive. You become a wonderful driver and are well set for driving independently! Thank you again for the opportunity!
We had an excellent experience with 816 Driving School, and I highly recommend them to any parent looking for quality driver’s education for their teenager. Tyler (the owner) was fantastic to work with in his communication and scheduling. He matched us up with Lawrence, who was outstanding from start to finish. Both Tyler and Lawrence’s customer service, communication, and professionalism made the entire process easy and stress free.
More importantly, Lawrence is an excellent instructor. He was patient, knowledgeable, and very skilled at teaching the practical skills and confidence needed to become a safe and responsible driver. He provided clear instruction, helpful feedback, and made sure my son understood not just what to do, but why it was important.
By the end of the lessons, my son felt well prepared and confident going into his driver’s license test. As a parent, it was reassuring to know he had received such thorough and professional instruction.
Thank you to Lawrence and 816 Driving School for doing such a great job. We truly appreciate the time, expertise, and care you put into preparing my son to become a safe driver. Highly recommended!

Thank you so much for the review! Your son was amazing and a lot of fun to work with. We so appreciate the support you give him and we’re thankful to be part of his driving journey.
We are extremely pleased with 816 Driving School and we highly recommend him for students that are apprehensive about driving. Tyler was able to articulate driving instructions in a manner that resonated with our boys and he instilled the confidence they needed to drive in heavy traffic and on the highway. He provided feedback after every session, always on time, super flexible in meeting our schedule needs, very professional, great cars, and is a great teacher that we highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the review! It was so neat to see the progress that both the boys made. They went from drivers who struggled on side roads to driving in main road traffic and navigating so many difficult intersections independently. Really neat to see them grow. Thank you so much for all the support you give them! It was our pleasure to work with you and the boys!
We had a wonderful experience with them. My girls needed more confidence to nail the test and they brought that to them. We did the prep test highly recommend.

Thank you so much for the review and the opportunity to work with both your girls. They did an excellent job and you could see the confidence just building in them. Sounds like he carried over to the exam, which is exactly what we wanted. Congratulations to both girls!
My daughter just got her driver’s license, thanks to the help of Tyler! She arrived at her first lesson having never driven outside of an empty parking lot, so I was very nervous for her. Tyler was patient and kind, and made her feel very comfortable and confident on the road. If you’re looking for a driving instructor, I would definitely recommend Tyler Nash. The lessons have been invaluable!

Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback. Watching your daughter from her first lesson to her last lesson has been a remarkable journey. And now she is a licensed driver! I hope she reflects on all the hard work she put in and is proud of her accomplishment! We were just thankful to be a small part of that! Thanks again for allowing us to partner with you. So very proud of what she was able to do. That was the most fun part for us-to see the belief in herself grow.
Tyler Nash and the two instructors we worked with, Chad and Nick, are exceptional in every way. Their instruction and patience instills confidence in the new driver. They covered every situation you need to know. Highly recommend 816 Driving School!

Tyler was very organized and professional. He worked with our crazy schedule to fit us in and always stuck to our scheduled times. After each session we got feedback that we could work on between sessions. Tyler was easy to get ahold of. I will use him for our younger child when the time comes! Highly recommend!

Tyler was amazing to work with. Super easy to schedule with and taught my son exactly how I would have done it if I had the guts to do it. I was able to take him out on the highways right after his first lesson on highways and he did amazing! So grateful for his expertise in helping me prepare my son to be out on the roads safely!
