James Island Driving School

I had booked an hourly instruction back in October and waited for my class at the beginning of November as it was their earliest available date (after it took multiple days for me to get the session booked due to lack of communication). The day of I texted (what they say their preferred way of communication is) to see when they would arrive, as it was already past my scheduled time.

I received no answer. Finally, I got ahold of them 30 minutes after my start time just for them to say they forgot about me but would refund me my money. Then, I decided to give them another chance and tried to book again here recently just for them to never answer me (at this time it has been well over a week and I sent 2 separate text messages). I was very polite and understanding about them forgetting about me the first time, but feel it is extremely unprofessional to ignore me now that I tried to reach out again.

We had such a great experience with James Island Driving School. Anthony was such a patient, encouraging teacher with incredible attention to detail. Our son looked forward to his drives with him. I highly recommend James Island Driving School for anyone who wants to be 100% confident when they put their teenager behind the wheel--and who doesn't? I know that's a tall order, but they definitely deliver.

My grandson Elijah Wright took the class to get his permit and he passed the test. Mr Fralix Sr is very knowledgeable and friendly. Mr Fralix Sr explains everything where you can understand what he is saying. Elijah learned alot from this Driving School. This is a very good driving school. Elijah is so happy and is looking forward for his driving course. They make you feel welcome soon as you come in the door. I highly recommend C Anthony Fralix Sr and his staff. They get a 10+ rating

My experience at James Island Driving was excellent and Mr. Raeford Davis was a very patient and knowledgeable instructor. They teach you everything you need to know for the test and skills outside of the test that will be useful for everyday driving. I highly recommend this driving school if you need to get your license during covid!

I had Anthony (the son) and he was a great instructor, he did an amazing job of not only teaching me how to drive and pass the road test but made it interesting as well. I highly recommend you use this driving school and you will be lucky to have Anthony as your instructor.

I had a great experience with James Island Driving school. My instructor, Anthoney, made me feel very comfortable while I was driving and helped me pass my test the first time! I ended up being very happy that I had done the courses and taken the test with the school and someone I knew rather than the DMV

My driving instructor Anthoney Jr. was a great tutor and he is highly recommended. I learned so much in my 3 lessons and it was only two hours. He takes his time to teach you and lets you do it over and over u til you get it right. He doesn't get frustrated or anything he's a calm teacher. If I could go and do everything all over again I would. I am recommending all of my friends to him because he did an awesome job. Even my grandmother agrees. 100% recommended

I started at 911 with the eight hour class, but it really was too far away to take the lessons there. So I came to James Island kinda bummed to start over with a new group. turns out I loved James Island Driving and wished I had started there from the beginning! It's a nice family-owned business, and they treat you like family, too. Penny was my instructor and I LOVE her.

If you can get Penny as your instructor, you've struck gold. She explains everything so well and makes you feel so comfortable. She gave me so much confidence in myself, and I know I wouldn't be as good as a driver without all her teaching and support. Getting your license as a new driver is so stressful because nobody wants to fail. you need an awesome driving school in order to have a decent chance of passing the first time. This school wants you to do well. They care about you. They have fun with you. And they give you the confidence to know you can do it! Penny, you are the best!

I've had two teenagers now go through James Island Driving School - both new drivers in 2019 - and I can't thank JIDS enough. Their instructors are top-notch. The kids feel comfortable & confident. The location was very convenient for us - but they will also meet your teen at home or school (or wherever is convenient) to start the drives. Just yesterday I saw one of their JIDS cars in front of a local high school waiting for their teen driver client. How convenient! Both of my teens had Penny & she is fabulous.

I had the best experience my instructor Anthony Jr was amazing and taught me everything I needed to know. When I took my test I had Mrs. Penny and she was so nice and so sweet and had the best smile. Great driving school and amazing people.
