Safety 1st Driving School — Local services in Irvine

Without a doubt, the quality and professionalism of Safety 1st Driving School is unmatched. Most individuals have the joy of earning their drivers license as a teen, I myself am a thirty-something-year-old who has been fearful of driving from an incident in my teens - since then, fear has been debilitating. Taking more lessons was something that wasn't even an option, mentally of course. As a first step in overcoming my fear, the respect and dignity that I was treated with (via telephone) with Angela helped me actually commit to signing up for lessons. She was not only understanding of my situation but provided hope. In essence, without her compassion over the phone, I would still be just toying with the idea. Thank you Angela!

Alex, my instructor was phenomenal. He was patient and offered his expertise. Not only did he help unlock my confidence, but he also provided memorable "tips" in learning the skills to become a safe and confident driver. With each lesson, we would follow up on the previous lesson and then continue on with more skills...celebrities even helped out, to remember to do certain things :-) I really cannot express in words my gratitude for Alex's time, skills and approach at learning - he is a natural teacher. Thank you Alex!

Hands down I would recommend Safety 1st Driving School to anyone, be it a parent looking for a quality driving school for their teen driver, or for individuals like myself who need the compassion and skill of those willing to help shed the layers of fear.

Thank you Safety 1st Driving School - you...

I do not know where to begin... I really lucked out when I chose Safety 1st driving school. Alex was so amazing. He is so patient and really loves his job. He made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and gave me confidence on the road. He took extra care in teaching me skills and techniques to perfect my drivng. He had little tricks for everything and made driving so easy! I had some problems parking but one easy trick made parking a breeze!!

Mani, was the one that took me to the DMV for the road test!! I lucked out again! He is the nicest and most patient thorough person you can get (besides Alex of course). He reviewed every detail and made sure I was ready before I went in for the test. I failed the 1st test over some small mistake but he somehow got me a 2nd chance on the same day. Wow right?!?! And he waited with me until it was my turn again (12:30pm - 4:30pm) and did not charge me extra. Who does that????? What other driving school will do that...???? And he did it all in his time! What a rock star!! I am so lucky to have these two guys as my instructors!

If I can talk to each and everyone reading the reviews on Safety 1st Driving, I totally would! They are so amazing and I highly recommend them! I wish I can give them more stars because they totally deserve it. They really care and want you to drive safely. It's not about money for these guys! They truly truly care and that's hard to find!

Alex and Mani, Thank You from the bottom of my heart! You guys are...

I don't think I would have passed my behind the wheel driving test without taking driving lessons with Safety 1st Driving School. There are so many things I didn't know before that are essential not only for the test but also for your own personal safety and knowledge. I paid an extremely reasonable price for eight hours AND the DMV package which allowed me to drive their car for the test. The cars they use are really small and easy to drive, it's the best to start out with, especially for the behind the wheel test. Alex was my instructor and he was very helpful and fun throughout all lessons. Even if you made a mistake, he wouldn't discourage you, instead he would keep working on your weaknesses till you get it right. He was very punctual, and at times even early which is very impressive considering I live in Riverside and their offices are located in Irvine. I really appreciate all the tips I got, even ones that they don't test you on! After each lesson, the instructor sends you a progress report on how you're doing and what you're going to work on next lesson. I just took my behind the wheel test today and I was really nervous but Alex helped me stay calm. The test was short, and I passed with very few minor errors! Overall, it was worth every penny and it really helps improve your driving, especially since their first concern is your safety and the safety of others....
