The Kauffman’s Experience

“We first learned about DrivingMBA through a mailer to our home. Scott had taken a number of hours of driver training but the lessons were in the rural areas not city driving. He needed to develop skills and experience in a number of areas including anticipating, seeing all signs, smoother turns, avoiding collisions. The area is so congested that it is hard to take all the information in.

“The simulator made a difference after his first session. It raised his awareness of what can happen if you travel too close or what to do if your tire blows out. He crashed a few times and the noise and cracked windshield on the simulator made an impression. He could redo the maneuver until he learned how to handle it. He now comments when he observes someone following too closely to another car or passes in an unsafe manner. One day we had an unusual number of surprises at unexpected times, a bike crossing in front in the dark, a cat shooting across the road and a car cutting us off all of which he handled like a pro. He said it reminded him of being on the simulator.

“The driving experience, practice of skills and ability to experience the responsiveness of different types of cars on the simulator markedly improved his abilities and made him more of a thinking driver. The course was certainly less expensive than a collision. We were very pleased and will enroll our 16 year old daughter as well.”

Completely Confident with my Son behind the Wheel! Posted Nov. 2011 by Roger & Ian H. of Scottsdale, AZ.

I’ve already recommended DrivingMBA to 2-3 people. This driving school, gave me exactly what I was looking for. They offer a course in defensive driving, which my son took, as well as an extensive parent class too, which I took. My son is my last driver, and from my other kids, I’ve learned a lot and now know what I want to do better. I feel like I’ve done that through this experience.

This school asks that you do about 100 hours of driving during the 6 months you’re in the class. For my son and I this was easy to accomplish because he’s a competitive golfer and goes to a lot of tournaments instate and out-of-state, so it was really helpful that we had that advantage of going places. I kept a log of our hours and showed our instructor what we had done. He was so impressed, he put it on display for everyone to see! This entire experience was very satisfying. I feel that my son is a very safe driver and I feel completely confident with him behind the wheel.

 


 

This is the Harvard of Driving Schools!  Posted Nov. 2011 by Michael B. in Chandler, AZ.

I’ve been very impressed with DrivingMBA, with their professionalism and ability to go above and beyond what is required. They require their students have 100 hours of driving experience instead of just the 30 hours required by the state. To me, that shows that they seem to be more concerned about teaching people how to drive rather than making a business out of it. The entire staff is extremely knowledgeable. The bottom line is that they are not looking to provide a service where anyone could just skate by, if you can’t meet their standards, you’ll fail. They give a pretest that covers everything, not just the 5 elements the state asks about. If they don’t feel like you’re going to be a safe driver, they’ll fail you.

Driving is a skill and a privilege you’re going to have from the age of 17 until you die. DrivingMBA will take the time to make sure you’re taught well, instead of letting you out with just half of the skills you’ll need, like so many of the drivers out there.

They have done such a good job with our daughter, we’ve now enrolled our son with them! They are sincere and want the kids to be at the forefront with their driving skills and education. You will get what you pay for with this company. They are not cheating the kids, or their parents for that matter! We’d absolutely recommend this driving school to anyone.

On Friday, September 30, 2011 Abby was out for her second on-road lesson.  Hear what she had to say about that experience and her experience at DrivingMBA.

On July 12, 2011 one of our students was involved in a car crash.  We received this message from her mom the next day:


Dear Driving MBA,

Last night my daughter was involved in a car accident on the 101, just south of Chandler Blvd. She was stopped in traffic, in the leftmost lane (next to HOV lane). She was rear-ended and the small pickup that hit her was going about 55-60 mph upon impact. The police estimate that the driver’s initial speed to be 80-85. My daughter looked in her rear view mirror and noticed smoke from brakes and made the split second decision to let her foot off the brake, look to her right and notice there was not a car there, and turned the wheels. We firmly believe that because of her decision she saved herself, her sister in the passenger’s seat, and a friend in the middle backseat from serious injuries. Had she hit the car in front of her the airbags would have gone off and possibly hurt the girls in the front more. Each girl has a very sore neck and back, but they all walked away from the scene without serious injury. I believe that exact scenario was something she practiced on the simulator. We credit Driving MBA with teaching her the skills to make that split second decision, and for teaching her what I couldn’t. We want to thank you all for the wonderful job instructing our daughter on defensive driving 1 year ago, and for the excellent program you have in place.

Thank you!

On October 5, 2010 Phoenix experienced some intense storms.  A mom sent us this feedback the next day:

“I just want to tell you how happy I am that my daughter completed your Advanced Defensive drivers course. Yesterday (10/5/10) she was caught in a ferocious hail storm on I-17 with her two younger sisters in the car. As the weather started to worsen and headed into hail she took the closest exit and took cover under a covered parking lot. She told me ”Mom, that was one of the scariest moments of my life! I am SO glad I took that defensive driving class! They had taught us how to drive in snow and bad rain. I felt much more confident because I had learned that!”I was so happy to hear that and so happy she made it through the storm safely. Thank you! What you do DOES make a difference, every day! I can’t wait to send my 2 younger daughters through your program.”

We received this e-mail from a customer who traveled from California to have her daughter complete our program.  Here is what she had to say:

“My daughter Lorraine took your basic driving class there the week of July 26th – we’re the ones who came in from California. I need to start planning for her to take the Advanced class so I can arrange leave.

By the way Lorraine is doing really well driving. She’s really getting my old truck shifting down, and her manual transmission responses on it are starting to become automatic – you all taught her what to do, but it all feels a lot different in my old beast of a truck. I’ve had her out driving around the neighborhood a lot. Yesterday, she had a little close call due to some construction and oncoming traffic going around the construction when she turned a corner – she executed her right turn while she was still looking left and forward so she didn’t see the problem coming. But she took evasive manuevers, did not over correct, automatically hit the clutch and softened in on the brake, swerved around the oncoming truck, did not run over the curb in doing so, and got the truck stopped (she was shook up), into neutral, and park brake set all without killing the motor. I let her gather herself and then made her finish the drive back to the house (she wanted me to take over). We then discussed what went wrong. While I have had her pounding a lot of hours behind the wheel up at the college parking lot to give her time to reach the point where the manual transmission in this old truck becomes automatic for her, without her having to think about it each step of the way, I could tell after we returned from the Basic class that you guys did a superb job getting her comfortable and over much of her fear. That confidence is what she needed, and it paid off yesterday because instead of panicking, she drove through it. Before she was always so prone to panic; the difference in her was amazing under fire. I was really proud of her. You guys do great work, and I really want her to finish her training with you all.”

Nancee Connelly enrolled her daughter at DrivingMBA

“I first learned about DrivingMBA through the Scottsdale Education Center down the street and decided to enroll my daughter, Alexandra. She just completed the program last week and has been driving WONDERFULLY. I feel comfortable in the car with her, but most importantly, feel safe with her on the road. She LOVED the program and was actually excited to go.

The simulators reminded Alexandra of the main operations of a car since it feels like you’re in a real car.

I would highly recommend DrivingMBA. It makes the process of driving easier for both the parent and the student. DrivingMBA is worth every cent!” -Nancee Connelly

Gina Marie Baker Moussa Yes!! It's the best. I wish every parent would bring there kids. So my kid could be out there with others also being properly educated. This is their life!

Robert Dwyer We could not more pleased with DrivingMBA. The program is excellent and a must for all new drivers. Thank you DrivingMBA for teaching our son the correct way to drive and for giving us the confidence that our child will be a responsible and safe drive
Glenn Leier So Thankful for DrivingMBA!! The team of instructors goes above and beyond to make sure their students are safe drivers. Our daughter has evolved into a fantastic driver because of the detailed teaching at DrivingMBA. This is the best driving school in the valley hands down!!

My daughter went through your driving school in 2009 for about 5 months. She went through all the simulators, about 20 hours of road training with Mike and attended the Bonderant Advanced Driving Skills for teens. Your program is amazing. My daughter has tremendous driving skills. She knows how to stay calm, assess the road and handle any road condition that is put in her way. Just last week she was driving down Hayden road when a golf ball came flying off the Star Fire golf course. It hit her windshield and shattered the driver's side. She stayed calm and pulled over to call me. This could have turned into a very scary accident but I believe she handled it beautifully because of the amazing training that she gained at Driving MBA. I am thankful each day when she gets in her car that she went to your program. Thank You
