I did the road test with them to obtain my drivers license. It was a super smooth process. It was an amazing experience. The instructor was soooo sweet and actually liked his job vs people at the dmv who hate coming to work. It’s 100% worth the money plus if you fail the first time, you get to retake for free the…

I did the road test with them to obtain my drivers license. It was a super smooth process. It was an amazing experience. The instructor was soooo sweet and actually liked his job vs people at the dmv who hate coming to work. It’s 100% worth the money plus if you fail the first time, you get to retake for free the next. You take the road test with them and take the sealed envelope to the DMV so they can issue your license. I mean it was super smooth and easy. It was a 10/10 experience and if I had to do it again I’d come here!

I recently completed ELDT with Elite Driving School in order to obtain my class A CDL. The staff at this school worked with my odd schedule to ensure that I could complete the course in the most timely manner possible. All of them; Tarus, Alex, Greg, and Vicky were extremely knowledgeable and helpful. They seemed to truly want their students to succeed and made the environment a relaxed one that is extremely conducive to learning. I was so confident and satisfied with this school that approximately halfway through the course I had my son complete his skills test with them in order to obtain his license. I will also be coming back with my other two children when the time comes. I highly recommend Elite Driving School to other parents or individuals wishing to get their CDL.

Just finished up my class A CDL this weekend. Elite is a family run operation and did an excellent job providing me with the knowledge, training, and practice I needed to obtain my permit as well as pass my skills test. They have week day and weekend classes to accommodate different schedules. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to obtain their CDL.
