Inaccurate information on their website led me to sign online for a package. A couple days later my instructor told me he was too busy to include me in his schedule. When I was able to talk to someone, she said they're not teaching adults. After cancelling the course they kept $25.00 fee. Overall a really bad experience, don't waste your money!

Excel driving school is more expensive than their competitors. I enrolled my child because it was close to home. One thing I learned to late was that they require parents to teach their children to drive for the first 10 hours behind the wheel. No other competitor requires this, and it seems crazy to me that the first 10 hours will be done by a parent instead of a trained professional.:not to mention who has the time. They should put that front and center in their program before you sign up.

Our two daughters took summer courses at Excel at the same time. Classroom instruction was thorough and serious. Their driving instructor, Leo Grach, was excellent. His professIonal approach and quick rapport, great communication, and knowledge pushed them through to test time. Scheduling and suggestions were great. We bought a package and it was exactly what we got with no surprises.
We could not have gotten the 50 hours driving experience per student into a school semester. Going with Excel, we planned ahead to take a year. It let the kids learn in good weather and practice in all weathers. And, it opened up a spot in the kids' course schedules.

The reason I give excel driving school 4 stars is because although the employees are polite, they were unorganized in the beginning with scheduling drives. In the end Sandie was very accommodating with helping me complete my drives and expediting forms so I can obtain my drivers license. I also appreciate the help from both drivers ed teachers hemsa and Leo.

We had a wonderful experience going with Excel driving school. Everyone is very friendly and accomodating to your specific needs whatever they may be. My son's driving instructor was Rick Osbourne. He was absolutely terrific. So nice! My son felt very comfortable with him from the start which set the stage for the rest of the driving lessons. (so important for a new student driver.) Rick made it smooth, comfortable, and worry free for my son.
The classes were convenient with plenty of options for the busy teen. Can't make a class? No problem. You can simply reschedule it right online. There is nothing this company won't do to ensure you have a great experience. They even let you make affordable monthly payments throughout the time you are taking their classes/driving lessons. Thank you so much to the owner, girls at the front desk, the classroom instructors and last but not least, the driving instructor. You made my son's experience a wonderful and memorable one. All the best to you.

I had a very good experience taking lessons from Excel. Dave, my instructor, was awesome. He is a very patient person and that's exactly what you need when you are learning to drive. I highly recommend him for an instructor. To this day, I still use his advice when I'm on the road. He has definitely made me a safe and alert driver. The only problem I had was with the online payment.
I put my deposit down and it took 6 weeks for anyone to call and schedule a time. Now there was a long wait (4 weeks) because you are basically fighting with all the high schoolers to get a spot. But once I called about this, I was set up for a schedule right away. This is the place in the area to learn how to drive.
