Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.
Highly recommend Best Driving Academy! My son learned how to reverse park in just one day and passed his MVA driving skills test on the first try! Communication with Mr. Washington was great, and he made the scheduling process smooth, accommodating our availability as quickly as possible. The classes were great, and my son’s instructor/driver Gus, was very patient, kind, respectful, and an excellent teacher showing him exactly how to pass the exam on reverse parking and how to avoid touching the curb. He did this once and my son passed on his first try! I attended this same academy about 17 years ago, so it’s extra special to see my son learn here too. Thank you for making this such a positive experience! I highly recommend 💯 ! 10/10
