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
I had a great experience with Bay Area Driving Academy. I found it was convenient to schedule an appointment online through their website. It was a professionally designed website and easy to navigate hence providing a seamless experience overall. Additionally, there is a text reminder from the school a day before your scheduled appointment.
I have taken a few lessons with Carrie. She has provided a lot of advice that was helpful for behind the wheel test. She has been very patient with me even though I made the repetitive mistakes over and over again. The car is also very well maintained and in good condition. 9/9/2017
