Carrie was clear and reliable – I felt safe having Carrie take my daughter out for her very first driving in real streets. When they came back, my daughter had driven two hours on many types of streets and learned techniques like “SMOG” to change lanes. The acronym was great for her, and she is gaining confidence fast. We are definitely going to use Bay Area for the rest of her lessons. 11/19/2017
Carrie was so much help with my drivers training teaching me important fundamentals and necessary safety concerns. I was able to pass my driving test on my first attempt with only 7 errors. The school dedicates itself to helping their students pass their drivers tests. I highly recommend this establishment as a means of learning to drive. 10/30/2017
I had multiple 2-hour lessons (all positive btw) with different instructors at BADA. However, I mostly worked with Tony so I will share about the qualities I liked in him. I greatly appreciated how patient Tony was with me. Additionally, Tony kept a great balance between being personable (this helps ease your nerves as a new driver) and strict when it comes to the rules of the road (which ultimately helped me pass my behind-the-wheel driving test).
The only heads up I would give to anyone looking for appointments at BADA is to be quick about it as their schedule fills up fast. 10/14/2017
Moved from Canada and needed to take a behind the wheel test to get my California DL. I booked with Bay Area Driving school to have use of their vehicle as I don’t have my own, and to take advantage of their test prep. My instructor, Carrie, was thorough, warm and provided helpful tips that gave me confidence during my exam. Thankfully, I passed! Highly recommended if you need a refresher on road rules as a foreigner, and/or if you want that extra assurance that you’ll pass the exam. Great customer service and professionalism. Thanks again, Carrie! 9/26/2017
My daughter passed her driving test with flying colors! Instructor Carrie at Bay Area Driving Academy did a great job of making her feel relaxed during her driving lessons and helped her to prepare for her driving exam. We were referred to Carrie by another friend and were very pleased with our overall experience! 9/23/2017
