Rave Reviews from satisfied customers

We recently 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

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."
