The 8 hour class felt long but we got breaks, lunch and valuable information. My driving instructor was Bill Yeager. He's an amazing instructor. Very patient, very clear about instructions, and gives great advice on how to improve. Overall I had a great experience and I now feel more than ready to take my driving test. Huge thank you to Johnny Rowlands driving school and Bill Yeager!
We had a great experience with Jeff Pugh at Johnny Rowlands. He was great with communication, always timely, and made our daughter feel very comfortable driving. By the end of our daughter’s lessons, she was confident and fully prepared for her licensing test. As parents, we were very happy with the additional driving experience and helpful tips provided by Jeff. Highly recommend!
We had an exceptional experience with our driving instructor Jeff Pugh! During my sixteen year old son’s first lesson, Jeff’s calm and friendly demeanor really put my son at ease. My son learned so much the first lesson and quickly developed confidence to drive. He was even confident driving on highways. Jeff is very personable, professional and communicates all steps very well. My son felt very confident driving behind the wheel and did great on the driving exam all thanks to Jeff’s tips and guidance. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a driving instructor!
Jeff really helped my daughter's confidence behind the wheel.
Was a very positive experience for us and we are so glad that we decided to do lessons. She actually looked forward to them.
She was glad to get to practice the driving route they do on the test multiple times which helped her so much! She passed the first try :)
Took a 2-hour lesson here and I chose Jeff Pugh as my instructor after some recommendations. He was amazing. Very chill and words of affirmation was on point. LOL. I passed my driving test the same day. Two thumbs up! 😊
