Charlotte Area Driving School

I'm so grateful to Mike and his Charlotte Area Driving School team. They are experienced, helpful, and expert instructors. I was a little nervous initially, but I wasn't scared anymore after driving with Frank. He is excellent. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and most importantly, I passed the road test and got my license. I must say that this is the best Driving School in Charlotte. Pricing is reasonable, and the value for money is excellent.

Im thankful to the two Young ladies I've had the pleasure of helping me to learn to drive. They have been a God sent especially Ms Danyelle from day one when i told her about my last experience in trying to learn how to drive. She worked with me anyway n still is. Ms Erica another teacher with whom i took what she told me to do on my next lesson and it worked im thankful for being able to learn how to drive from both these young ladies. May the Lord continue to keep blessing you both. Thanks Mr Micheal for these two great ladies you have on your team.

I had a bad experience with another driving company so I transitioned to this one. Mike is very easy to communicate with! Also, he's very quick and helpful in regards to his responses. I had Danielle as my driving instructor and she is the absolute BEST! She made me really comfortable and I had a great experience.

My instructor Danyelle was excellent. As a lifelong NYer who never drove, she got me driving down freeways, highways, through the neighborhood, switching lanes. Highly recommend.

Mike Helms, owner, provided a quick return call with information on schedule, pricing and a request for a female instructor (this was a deal breaker since she was the only student in the car) for behind the wheel driving for my daughter. During that call, I scheduled behind the wheel instruction to occur the following week and confirmed payment method to be made at time of first of two 3 hour instruction sessions.

I called the day before scheduled instruction to confirm. Ms. Erica, instructor, arrived at my house as scheduled for drive way pick-up and return of my daughter. Sessions were informative and as outlined. Ms. Erica gave my daughter confidence, a since of calmness and was very professional. I would recommend!

It is an amazing driving school, they are very flexible and followed all the Covid Protocols. I was driving with Franko he is an amazing teacher. I was driving within 2 sessions on Highway. His explanations were very clear and increased by confidence from day 1, he is also a great communicator we spoke on various topics. Mike is a busy guy but he responds to each and every call and voicemails. I got my license without any fear of failing. Thanks Franko and Mike.

My name is John Rodriguez and my experience with the school was nothing more then amazing. All the instructors was awesome and made getting my license purely easy and simple. The fact that they worked close with me on my time and schedule made this the go to organization. They made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel at all times and are guaranteed to succeed in helping you get your license as long as you are serious enough to get it and listen to their professional advice.

I should have read the reviews here, before going to that driving school. Don't even know where to start. The instructor was on her phone the whole time while driving with me. She seems like a nice girl, but she just doesn't care for her job. Very few instructions were given, lessons were not planned. When I expressed my concerns to Mike ( the owner) he literally disregarded them, didn't even comment on them at all, and in spite of the fact that I asked him TWICE to give me another instructor, kept sending the same instructor ( Ashley) to drive with me.

So rude! On top of that : twice the instructor wouldn't show up for the lesson, even though I had a lesson scheduled, also a few times they would fill up a tank during the time of the lesson. My advice don't waste your money with that school. Surely there are other more professional driving schools, where they love their job and their clients.

As a nervous driver I was hoping that driving here would be beneficial for me, I was wrong. My very first lesson was a mess. The instructor did not really know how to give driving instructions and would give a go-ahead to drive through intersections when it was not safe. You never meet the main guy in charge, you just talk to him over the phone which is very shady and he is not very nice. I would suggest trying EZ driving school over this because it is a lot more professional and you are guaranteed a decent instructor.

I would say, Mike and Caleb are very good teachers. I took 4 classes with them and I gained so much confidence and lessons to drive easily and safely. I was scared by my friends that one has to make more than 2 attempts to get license in North Tryon DMV. But I took my license in my first attempt there. Thanks to Mike and Caleb.

Caleb was my instructor for the maximum time. I just took 3 classes and got my licence without any difficulty. He is very friendly and a great instructor. Just follow what he says and u r surely going to pass the test on the very first attempt. Both Mike and Caleb are great fellows to learn from.
