Today was our daughters last lesson with Ahmad, I cannot sing his praises enough! Our daughter suffers from anxiety and was especially anxious learning stick shift. Enter - Ahmad who has the best temperament and is an exceptionally good instructor. I went with them on her first two hour driving lesson and it was a great experience. Ahmad explains how the RPM work, which was one of the missing components of us trying to teach her and he gave her the confidence she was missing as she could not get out of second gear but thanks to Ahmad she was easily shifting all gears and confidently driving on the freeway.

He is an exceptionally good instructor, incredibly calm, has a good sense of humor is non judgmental and encouraging. He is able to tap in with the person he is instructing and has a good idea of reading the room. It was a really good feeling to see her go off confidently without me on her second and third driving lesson and come back ready to take on the roads of California. Ahmad is a sincere individual who really gets it. I cannot rave enough about him - he is simply the best!

Ahmad was absolutely the best driving teacher I have ever had! He insisted that I get 2 hours of driving the day before the test given that I failed the first driving test in literally 3 seconds lol. ANNND man let me tell u this, that 2 hours of the driving lesson really CHANGED the results. I just passed the test and I have to say that if it wasn't for Ahmad, I wouldn't have passed.

He was super nice, didn't get mad AT ALL, he made to pinpoint all the details, and he was truly happy for my results! I recommend this to literally ANYBODY of ANY age or gender or ethnicity who needs to get their driver's license ASAP! Thank you so so much Ahmad!

All City Stick is amazing I recommend them to everyone. Ahmad is a great instructor patient and attentive. I had previously tried two other schools and where horrible and cost so much more & to help a small business feels great!

It was alright but not worth the price. They constantly cancel last minute while you have to cancel at least 24 hours before or you pay a fee. The instructor was odd and texted the whole course, giving last minute route directions. I guess if you want to be thrown into driving and learn the bare minimum this is a good choice, but it's way too costly for what is provided.

Do not use this school, they are extremely unprofessional and they completely screwed me over. They repeatedly canceled the classes that I scheduled. They are completely unresponsive, the instructor didn't respond to my text, voicemails, and calls despite trying to contact him for two weeks, same with the company number. I never got my last lesson or got to take my on the road exam despite paying $300 for 3 lessons. Please don't waste your time with this school, because they will only inconvenience your life.

Great school! Hopefully they'll be up and running again after COVID clears! They were prompt in getting back to me when I contacted them about my un-used driving lessons and the ones we did use were a great experience for my kiddo.

Before going to All Stick Driving School I had no experience driving but, Ahmad my instructor was beyond patience and professional. He was always calm and was very good with teaching me. Also, they were super accommodating and were able to work with my schedule to make appointments. If I could have anyone to teach me again to drive it will always be Ahmad the guy is a professional! I'm always going to recommend this place for driving lessons!

These guys also operate as A AAAfordable Driving School on 33rd St. We signed up with All City but our teenager was given online lessons from A AAAfordable, strange. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! We paid for the entire online course AND the driving lessons. Our teenager finished his online course 30 days ago and he (Maurice) hasn't done a thing since. I reached him twice by phone and he promised to send the certificate of completion the next day, never did.

He said he would email practice exams, never did. He has NEVER returned a phone call, an email or even a note left on the business door. Sign on door says mainly 9-5 but they were closed every time. Driving is a big thing for teenagers and this guy hasn't shown an ounce of caring. Our teenager spent THIRTY hours on lessons then has been waiting another thirty days to take his DMV exam. FOR NOTHING. Now he'll have to repeat everything.

Got a couple of sessions with these guys just to learn manual (already had my license for a decade). Came out of it feeling comfortable with it all, like I can just get in another and drive off with little to no hassle. The instructor was awesome, and surprisingly patient!

We went to a different driving school and didn't have a great experience. Many friends' kids went with All City Stick Driving School and highly recommended them. We signed up for behind the wheel driving classes and we had a great experience with Ahmad the instructor. My daughter passed her test and he built her confidence and helped her perfect her driving skills. I highly recommend these guys! Awesome.

We were so happy with Maurice! He was super patient with our son, and truly did a great job in helping him pass his driving test and teach him good habits in driving. Would recommend to my friends and family, and we are definitely taking our younger son when it's time! Thank you All City Stick Driving School :

When my husband asked me to learn stick, I figured I'd take classes to humor him but never really "get" it. After 6 hours with Maurice, we're looking at buying a standard. I have to say Maurice's best trait is his patience. Always calm and professional. He put up with me with a smile, and that's sometimes very hard to do. The pricing is very reasonable, and to be blunt he's the only person doing this within 200 miles.
