I didn't know exactly which driving school to go to to complete my in-person driving lessons, but then I found A To Z Driving School and thought I would give it a shot. It may look like a little business tucked away in a small plaza, but A To Z Driving School has helped me a lot in my pursuit of becoming a better, safer, and more-skilled driver.
My driving instructor, Warren, gave me a lot of useful information throughout each of my lessons and helped me develop a lot of good driving habits. In addition, he's very personable and fun to be around. I enjoyed my time with Warren and all of the places we drove to during the lessons. Thanks to him, I was more than prepared to go for my behind-the-wheel drive test and I passed it on the first try!

I recently passed my behind the wheel test with the help of what I learned at A To Z Driving School. I had Warren as my driving instructor and he helped me a lot in my process of learning how to drive. He gave me a lot of information on how to be a better driver, and always made sure I felt comfortable while driving. I also had Chris as a driving instructor, and he helped me out a lot and gave me a lot of information on how to fix the mistakes that I was making when I would drive.

Before coming to A to Z I had terrible driving anxiety. My friend recommended this driving school to me so I booked a lesson with Warren and his full send method of instruction was exactly what I needed. They are very welcoming and accommodating, and the woman who answers the phone to book appointments has phenomenal customer service. I was really nervous at first but he was very patient and relaxed and that helped me a lot.
I learned more in one two hour lesson(where we went on the freeway) from A to Z than I did in months trying to learn in a parking lot. This driving school was a crucial part in my experience as a new driver. I highly recommend this driving school.

I would highly recommend A to Z Driving School, not only for obvious reasons of affordability and a company that works with your schedule to offer lessons that work on your time schedule, but driving I learnt is more then simply getting behind the wheel and driving. I learnt technical instruction that explained carefully what a DMV Driving Instructor is looking for so you can pass that test successfully and obtain your license, but why its important to know these things, that will serve you in the long run to becoming a good driver. Warren, my instructor at A to Z Driving School was always punctual, professional and most of all encouraging.
At the end of each lesson we would go over my progress, what had been achieved and areas to work upon. I am very glad I choose A to Z Driving School and I believe if you select them too you will not be disappointed.

A to Z Driving School, come here if you are a beginner and need help to learn how to drive, the people are very friendly and they have great instructors! I have been taken lessons with Warren which is a very good instructor and have patience with his students, his way to explain is very nice and easy to understand. They teach you everything you need to know before the exam, I just pass mine so I'm sure you will pass yours too with the help from this school!

Don't consider another driving school. Warren the instructor is very well spoken on the observations that need to be corrected in order to drive safely and pass the driving test. I'm given this school a 5 star. Cindy the receptionist is very helpful was able to work with my work schedule. Thanks again for the lessons.

They are GREAT! Signed up my teenage driver for the 6 hrs required behind-the-wheel lessons. Owner Chris was easy to talk to and the instructor was his son, also named Chris. My daughter had a great time and Instructor Chris was very helpful with suggestions and feedback. They were on time, and even took my daughter on the freeway, during rush hour :-).
The day before her behind-the-wheel test, we had Instructor Chris come back for a 2hr refresher session, and went over some possible routes that she may take (we had the test at Fullerton DMV). We would highly recommend this school.

I really love this driving school especially because of my driving instructor Warren who is very helpful and patient with me while I'm driving. Driving really makes me nervous but he does his best to reassure me about it and his teaching methods are very good methods. I learn more and more and remember more and more with each lesson. He is also not only a great teacher but a person with great energy.

Chris was my driving instructor couldn't have asked for a better one. Excellent at helping with direction great communication. Extremely helpful tips to pass DMV drivers test. I will definitely recommend A-to-Z driving school to everyone. I would have not passed without my driving instructor Chris. He Help me with every part of the DMV test beyond exceptional. Made me feel comfortable, took me step-by-step to what would be expected. Tried other driving schools didn't even compare to A to Z driving school. I am so grateful for my instructor Chris for all his tips and pointers. Couldn't have passed without him amazing.

Without question I highly recommend A to Z driving school for many reasons. The best decision I made was going with A to Z driving school. Extremely professional, exceptional price, and most important the best driving instructor Chris. I can honestly say I would not have passed my DMV drivers test without him. I was very very nervous, and he let me know he was going to go through each step with me so I felt comfortable.
Super friendly but also made sure to correct my mistakes. Everything that was required for the DMV test he went through with me. With the greatest appreciation for Chris. I can honestly say everything he taught me was the reason why I passed. And why I highly recommend A to Z driving school. A great experience and a day I will never forget when I officially became a licensed driver Thanks Chris for all your HELP

I passed my behind-the-wheel test today thanks to lessons with Warren Huckabey at A2Z! He is an awesome instructor for first-time drivers- very patient, lighthearted with constructive criticism, and teaches in a creative way. Cindy is wonderful with scheduling lessons and is very accommodating. I would highly recommend this driving school!

A to Z Driving School was incredible and everything I wanted from a driving school. The scheduling was immensely convenient, and I was able to get my lessons anytime I wanted within two weeks. Then, despite my nervousness, Chris quickly taught me the basics and provided everything I needed. Chris also made great conversation and did his best to ease any nerves I had.
He helped me to do my best and have fun at the same time. The Car was easy to use, responsive, clean and safe. I'm not sure if this is standard, but it had mirrors and brakes in the passenger side, which helped me feel safe, even though Chris tried to use it as little as possible. I one hundred percent recommend A to Z Driving School.

I had a single driving lesson from Edward Little the day before my driving test at Fullerton and I have to say that I genuinely feel like I passed because of him. He informs you about the general laws that you should follow and works on the details that you miss as well all while being really funny and calming! You really learn a lot if you listen to what he tells you thoroughly and practice with that knowledge. I would definitely recommend A to Z Driving School to everyone!

Love this driving school! I went to this driving school about 3 years ago but I wanted to leave a good review because they were really that great! The staff here are super friendly. I took the teen drivers ed course here and the class was fun to go to because the teacher was hilarious and he always made the lessons fun and interesting. The practice tests they give really prepared me for the real exam (I passed on the first try!) He even brought the class donuts and brought fried chicken for the last day of class! All and all, this class was fun and super helpful for the real thing. I can't recommend this place enough!

My instructor was Eddie Spaghetti. I highly recommend him! He's very friendly, kind and patient. At first I was very nervous because I'd never driven in my life but my first lesson was a blast, I had a lot of fun and was waiting for my next lesson. Also Eddie never lets you be bored in the car he cracks a lot of funny jokes. I highly recommend a to z driving school! I've had an amazing experience! I PASSED!

I passed my BTW test! My FIRST training was with Chris, 2 hours Charge: $90 YAYs He's friendly and helpful. Lessons on reverse, lane changes, mirrors & over the shoulder checks were spot on, thanks. NAYs That limit line advise didn't work, I got 5 points off at different times during my actual test. Lol. He belched and yawned a lot (he apologized), I get it's a human thing but got me worried maybe he was tired or hungry (said he was neither). 2.
My SECOND training with Warren, about an hour on the actual test day. We drove to and from DMV, Fullerton Charge: Initially $120, I get there later, it's $122: $2 fee for what exactly? YAYs Gave me the rundown; pre-test checks, lane change aka SMOG check, mirror settings. He ensured I de-stressed, i.e. think of an immediate reward to look forward to after I pass (I had none, lol).
He was funny sometimes. NAYs Warren had some weird jokes and I guess he meant no harm but maybe too much for a first meeting. He can be chatty so watch your time if you have other appointments or he'll make you late!

A-Z driving school is very accommodating with schedules & they're very helpful. They try to get whatever you need done. Chris the manager is very helpful, kind and a great problem solver. I strongly recommend Eddie who was my driving instructor. He's very focused & persistent on getting it right. He's funny and has a great personality. He's a good teacher. Overall, a great experience!

This is the worst place anybody can go to. My husband was picked up from a teen, who mentioned he was the son of the owner. He was unprofessional rude and completely reckless. This is a long awaited review and if we could we would demand our money back because it was a total waste. He didn't learn anything and was just screamed at and disrespected by this ignorant person.
Nobody deserves to be treated this way especially if your paying money. They also pick you up in a junk car with no ac so it's very uncomfortable and muggy. This teen should not be driving when he just humiliates and puts the customers down. He obviously has no idea what he is doing. My husband would come home sad and not wanting to continue with the course every time. I am beyond pissed that we paid for this piece of shit service.

I had a horrible instructor. You'd think after spending about $200 you'll come out feeling confident about your driving skills, but it was the exact opposite. He was very rude and unprofessional plus he showed up in a run down looking car which does not leave a good first impression for their school. Not saying they should show up in a Tesla or anything, but at least a decent looking Toyota.
Anyway back to the instructor. The guy was pretty much shouting at me and wasn't very professional. I know he's suppose teach me how to drive, but I'm still paying you so have some customer service skills. Especially if you are the owners son. Anyway if you want to waste $200 on something that anybody with a license can teach you go ahead. Honestly just skip all this and pay a close friend or family member to teach.
