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…

Great job Bill! You were very patient and informative.
Bill Yeager was a Wonderful teacher! Really helped give me peace of mind with my teen on the road.
We had a wonderful experience with Johnny Rowlings Driving School especially with driving instructor Jeff Pugh. Jeff was incredibly patient, encouraging, and thorough while teaching my 16-year-old son how to drive. My son completed three 2-hour driving lessons with Jeff and passed his road test on the very first…
Jeff was a great instructor to work with my son! He prepared him to pass the drivers test, but more importantly be ready for real world driving. Jeff was informative and calm. The entire experience gave my son a confidence in driving.
Bill was a great instructor! He was encouraging and provided great feedback.
My daughter took the classes with Mr. Bill Yeager. She was ready for the driving test after the 6 hours. He provided very good instructions that my daughter could follow after the lessons. He also gave us good tips on places to practice. I would definitely recommend this school.
Jeff Pugh is an awesome instructor! Very patient and communicative. Highly recommend!
My 16yr old son has taken the 8hr in class session and has 1more driving lessons left. I am pleased with the confidence he has now when it comes to driving. Jeff has done a great job helping him feel comfortable taking his Driving Test and getting familiar with driving local highways. I have already been recommended others here.
Bill was very helpful!
I am so grateful for Johnny Rowlands driving school helping both my teenage girls become safer and more skilled drivers, giving me peace of mind having them out on the roads. They both passed their drivers test the first time with flying colors. Jeff was such a patient and encouraging instructor and helped my…
Jeff was incredible with my son. He was so well prepared for his test, which gave him the confidence to go into the test with calm and composure! Highly recommend Jeff and the Johnny Rowlands school!
Jeff was GREAT! He was so patient and gave Feedback after every lesson! 10/10 recommend!
They were very accommodating to my Sun and the other youths
Can not say enough good things about Jeff (instructor) and how smooth. efficient and effective our son’s lessons wth him were. My husband and I were instantly impressed with Jeff’s patience, calm and cool demeanor, knowledge and very thorough feedback following each lesson. After just 2 sessions our son was ready…
Jeff was an amazing teacher! Would recommend.
Thank you Jeff Pugh!!! Our experience was just awesome!! This school was worth every dollar in helping my daughter not only achieve her permit/license, but also gained confidence, learned lots of safe driving tips, and helped take us out of the equation which helped keep the peace at home. Thank you so much!!!
Worth every penny! Our son's instructor, Jeff, was kind, encouraging, and patient. You can tell he really wants to see his students become confident, safe drivers. The experience was exactly what our new driver needed, who passed his test the first time, thanks to this great experience. I highly recommend Johnny…
Paid for my youngest driving lessons, had 3 one hour classes and those classes barely lasted an hour. My family did most of the practice with him. Trying to figure out why I paid so much money for someone to just take him out 3 times. Buyer beware.
Driving school was a lot of fun for me, my instructor was very nice and helped me a lot while in training which better prepared me for taking my license test which I ended up passing 1st try. I would highly recommend this driving school for your teens.
I knew I was making my son more nervous about driving than I needed to, so after seeing so many amazing reviews for Johnny Rowlands Driving School, we decided to give them a try — and they absolutely lived up to the hype. Jeff Pugh was an incredible instructor. He helped my son feel confident and prepared behind…
We were advised to go through Johnny Rowlands by a parent, I highly recommend for your student driver too. The teacher was Teresa, she drives motorcycles, and is also a motorcycle instructor. She is very kind, patient, experienced, and well rounded. We were so lucky to have her as an instructor. Our permit driver passed the driving test.
We had a great experience with Jeff! My 16 year old passed the driving test on his first time and we couldn't be happier. Highly recommend this team for getting your new driver ready for testing.
My son took driving lessons with Jeff Pugh and it helped him immensely with his driving confidence! He took his driving test the same day of his last lesson with Jeff and passed on his first try. This was a huge help to me as well because I was absolutely terrified at the thought of trying to teach a teenager to…
This was a great experience for my daughter. Jeff was amazing and made her feel comfortable right off the bat (this was something I was worried about). He was patient with her and she warmed up quickly. She passed her driving test on her 3rd lesson with a 91%! I highly recommend! Worth every penny!
Bill Yeager is a great instructor, he makes sure you know what you need to do, how to do it, and when to do it. I highly recommend him to be your instructor, because he is all around just a great instructor.
Great experience! Appreciate the instructions and the compliments given by Mr. Bill.
Has used this company for my 2 young drivers. They had Mr. Pugh as their instructor and he is patient and understanding. He gives feedback to the kids and to the parents on how the kids were doing. At first my kids didn’t really want to do the class but at the end they appreciated the lessons they learned al about safety on the road.
Jeff Pugh has been a wonderful instructor for my granddaughter. She has thought very highly of him through the process of teaching her to drive. Ending with a near perfect score on her drivers test. Highly recommend.
Our instructor was Jeff Pugh. He was a thorough, patient teacher and made driving more comfortable for my teen. She passed, 98%! Thank you, Johnny Rowlands!
Jeff was fantastic! He was great with my son and had him fully prepared for his driving test. He taught him some great tips and made the time fun and informative. Thanks Jeff!!
My daughter had been driving with her permit for nearly a year before we joined Johnny Rowlands Driving School. We were recommended to pair with Jeff, that he is great at teaching parking ... something we hadn't really practiced. Jeff was amazing! His tips made my daughter more confident and skilled as a driver.…
We had an amazing experience with Johnny Rowlands Driving School! My daughter started out as a very nervous driver, but by the end of her lessons, she was confident and fully prepared. She passed her driving test on her first try with an excellent score! We’re so grateful to Jeff Pugh, her instructor, for his…
Both of our kids have taken the defensive driving course and then private lessons with Jeff. It helped immensely with their confidence and it always helps teens to have input from people who are not their parents 😊 Our second son just passed his drivers test with a perfect score. I highly recommend them!
Jeff Pugh was absolutely amazing! Our son went from being very nervous to drive, to driving with confidence on the highway on his first visit. He now has his drivers license!
I started off as a 16yr old with little to no driving experience. I took the 8 hour class and then 3 two hour sessions with Jeff Pugh. I was honestly really nervous the first session, but Jeff really helped me gain confidence in driving and taught me a multitude of skills. I learned how to parallel park, reverse…
Our daughter had an excellent experience with her driving instructor, Jeff Pugh, at the Lee's Summit location! She had some nervousness on her first driver's test attempt with our minivan. Jeff worked with her for one more lesson and Johnny Rowlands allowed her to use their car (she was more comfortable with it) for…
Amazing teachers who really care. As a teen who paid for their class, I sincerely believe that I chose the best option! You get what you pay for and more! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!
My daughter loved the classroom and the driving courses. She loved her instructor Jeff. He was very patient, calming and encouraging to her. My daughter also signed up for the extra lesson with test using their car and she passed with a 82% her first try. I feel more confident as a mother knowing that Jeff taught…
