Temecula Valley Driving School

I do not recommend this school for beginning drivers.  My son had three 2 hour lessons in which he did not have the same instructor.  1st instructor is no longer with the school and the 3rd instructor was new to the school.  He apparently passed all behind the wheel curriculum with no issues and was ready to take the DMV behind the wheel test.  He FAILED the DMV behind the wheel test.  I am unclear as to what he needs to work on and how to correct his mistakes.  I spoke with the driving school and their response is "sorry nothing we can do".  I asked the school to look at the DMV test to try and decipher what had happened to give me advice on how to move forward.  The driving school refused to help.  The driving schools response was to get a different DMV Tester next time.  The driving school also recommend speaking with the DMV tester to get more information as to why they failed my son.  The DMV tester refused to go over why they had failed my son and would NOT speak with me, this is why I tried speaking with the driving school.  I do not recommend this school unless you are ok flushing your money down the toilet.  Bottom line, schools evaluations where excellent in regards to my sons driving,  he failed the behind the wheel test and the school does not care.  Maybe the driving schools evaluations are not accurate.  The driving school just wants their money and to give you a false sense of driving ability.

This driving school helped me tremendously in passing my driving test the first try with only 2 marks off. Both the instructors I had were super kind and made sure I needed to know what I needed to know... Especially Raul Perez. Raul was exceedingly kind and I could see the compassion and wanting he had to insure I knew how to drive properly and obtain my license. His patient and knowledgeable presence really added to the experience and helped me gain confidence in my driving abilities.

This is the instruction your kids need! My daughter was lucky enough to have Victor on her last 2 behind the wheel's and he was amazing! He gave her so many helpful tips, he was patient and encouraging. She passed her DMV behind the wheel on the 1st try, only missing 3! Thank you so much TVDS!

Pros: Instructor was nice and professional

Cons: Having to wait 60 days between each lesson is ridiculous. Although their explanation is that they would like the driver to drive between lessons to practice skills, I've never heard of this before (and was NOT in terms and conditions before paying online and no refunds allowed). Secondly, the instructor arrived 30 mins early and although it worked out that particular day, it was unexpected. As great as the instructor was, I wish I could recommend their services but I cant with the whole 2 month waiting period between appointments.

I highly recommend Temecula Valley Driving School for a very positive behind the wheel driving experience. John and Victor made my daughter feel at ease driving for the first time on the road and freeway. She felt very confident after each lesson she completed.

Temecula Valley Driving School was awesome! If you have any chance to choose who you want to be the instructor, go with Mayra! She was very kind and patient and gave me the confidence I needed to pass my driving test. I was able to take classes within a month of my exam and passed my test with only one mistake! Highly recommend this school and instructor.

I just want to give a big thanks to Justine. You helped my little brother accomplish what was one of the most stressful test for him. He has a lot of anxiety and gets stressed easily but you helped him overcome it. We all tried to help him before we turned to Temecula Valley Driving School. I would recommend Justine to anyone that is in need of a truly exceptional instructor. From are whole family thank you Justine and Temecula Valley Driving School for your 5 star service!

My daughter just passed her behind the wheel driving test the 1st time with flying colors. I'm so proud of her!
Kelly from Temecula Valley Driving School completely exceeded our expectations. She was incredibly professional, and dedicated. She made my daughter feel safe on the road and confident. I can't recommend her highly enough.

Bree did an amazing job with me today!! She made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel! She got me to switch lanes with out being hesitate and being scared!! Thank you Bree!

I would like to say that the owner Jim called me right away and offered to give my daughter another lesson with a different instructor. She was on the road with Noel the next morning and is feeling much better. Jim also followed up with another call today to check on us. As I said before, the company has been great in the past and I can see that the owners really care so I have revised my review. I think the instructor makes all the difference. There are plenty of them well reviewed here. I guess it makes sense to request someone specific.

I highly recommend Temecula Valley Driving School. After getting my permit for the second time at 17, I had a lot of anxiety about driving. I heard about Kyle and his calm and gentle approach to teaching students so we got him for 10 hours (5 lessons). First impression was that this guy DOES NOT look like a driving instructor, haha. But he ended up being an awesome instructor, always giving it to me straight while still being down to earth. He's also super chill and laidback too, which is great for the anxious driver like me.:) Throughout my time with him, he gave me some very thoughtful tips, which turned out to be extremely helpful for the test. I took my license test today and passed with 100%. Kyle helped give me the confidence to be not just a good driver, but a conscientious, defensive driver. Thank you Kyle!!

I have nothing but great things to say about Temecula Valley Driving School. They are amazing and have the most wonderful instructors!! Both my kids learned to drive from them, and I couldn't be more pleased as a parent. I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who has a teen driver. Wonderful experience all the way around!!

2nd lesson and what a great experience!  Mike Basel went above and beyond to teach.  We had some miscommunication on our part and we missed the pickup point. But Mike made it happen and was professional and so understanding. Our son said he learned a ton and we already thought he was a good driver in training. Thank you so much Temecula Driving School!  Fingers crossed for our son passes his behind the wheel. If Mike does his third and final lesson, it's a sure thing!

Great driving school with great instructors. My daughter had Kyle, he was very nice and helpful. Highly recommend this school and having Kyle as an instructor.

They did a great job. Our teen passed her test on the first try. I highly recommend Kyle. He gave us great tips throughout the whole process. We will be recommending them to friends.

I would highly recomend this school
james the owner is on top of his game always getting back when i would text him with a question, making it easy to schedule classes. I was able to tell the difference on my sister's driving after the second class and i could tell she was more confident and comfortable  driving, I would highly recommend Noel and Kyle for driving lesson instructors they are professional and punctual.
My sister passed her driving test on the first try only missing 1 point.

This company is awesome! I passed my drivers test. Temecula Valley driving school prepared me well for the test. Kyle is an awesome instructor!

Kyle was a great driving instructor. Kyle kept us informed on my son's driving strengths and weaknesses. My son enjoyed the driving lessons and passed the driver's test on his first attempt. "Thank you for a great experience-Michael T."

Can't say enough good things about JOSH!!! Prior to having JOSH as instructor my daughter was very timid . After lessons with JOSH she was a confident driver.  I HIGHLY recommend JOSH.  Thank you JOSH!!!

Best school ever.   Thorough communication every step of the way. Our daughter passed with a perfect score this morning.   Thanks to Kyle and his calm and laid back demeanor.   He communicated well with our daughter and us, gave her some tips and she's confident in her driving.

Even during this COVID crisis they will give you no refund even if they did not provide any service. Not even a partial. No labor time was spent on their end so they pretty much pocket your money. Can't get appointments with DMV to get permit test so can't do any behind the wheel training. Real sad and quite frankly seems to be taking advantage of customers during this time.

My daughter went through the behind the wheel training and their online driver's ed and really liked it. Her instructors were very nice and helpful and always took time after the lesson to talk with me. They pick up at home, school, etc and drop back off. The thing I liked best is there was no "piggybacking" and my daughter was the only student in the car at the time of her lesson. She passed her behind the wheel test the first time and has her license. 🙂

This is in my opinion the best driving school in Temecula. Great prices, very high standards with excellent instructors who know the local area around Temecula. Honest and no hidden costs or funky charges. All four of our kids used this company and now our last one is also with Temecula driving school. I felt very safe and confident with their instructors. They really exceed my expectation as a parent. Oh, we have been in Temecula for 16 years and this is a local company that had absolutely earned my trust. 5 stars all the way.

This is the best driving school in the valley, they helped my son through the entire process and he passed his test on the first try. I definitely will be recommending them.

Susan S. is the best driving instructor! Our son passed on the first try. He felt really confident thanks to Susan's instructions. We appreciate her excellent guidance, and advice in helping our teen achieve this milestone. Susan is highly recommended!

My driving instructor was Raul Perez and I only have good things to say about him. Going into it, I was nervous to meet my instructor because I was fearful of their harshness or inability to help. Lucky for me, I got Raul all three of my lessons. He is smart, incredibly kind, and makes a wonderful teacher for anyone who is willing to learn. His charismatic personality and ability to make his students feel at ease is one of his many attributes. Thanks to Mr. Perez I was able to leave the driving school with a positive experience. Along with his undying patience and comfortableness with questions, I am happy to say he has made me a better driver and prepared me for the test ahead.

I enjoyed my drivers training and learned a lot in the process. I have absolutely no problems with my experience.

I had Shannon as my instructor and she was so patient with me and told me what I need to work on. I passed my test on the first attempt thanks to her!

I loved it. Josh was a very good instructor, very calm and very helpful. I feel very confident that I will past my driving test.

Great driving school, You instantly feel connected with your instructors, I'd recommend Bree. Because of her I passed my test first try! :^)

I have nothing but positive things to say about this company.First, every phone responder is very polite and gets everything done in a timely manner. I have called more than 5 times and every single person who answered my call helped me schedule my appointments and/or change my dates with ease.Next, all of the instructors (that I have had) are amazing instructors and people. Not only did both of my instructors make me feel comfortable behind the wheel, but they actually taught me things about the road very well, and they were not rude about it whatsoever. My personal favorite was Kyle. I highly recommend Kyle to anyone who will be using Temecula Valley Driving School to ask for Kyle, as he is extremely kind, relatable, easy to talk to, funny, helpful, and respectful. I had Kyle for my last two lessons and they were some of the best 2 hours of my life because I got to talk to such a great person while growing to be more independent.I passed my license test because of Kyle. If you are nervous about driving for the first time, request Kyle as your instructor and you will be just fine. I applaud everyone who works for Temecula Valley Driving School, and I hope nothing changes.

I did my lessons with Dylan and he was a blast to have as my instructor. I learned and felt confident for my test.

I'm giving a good review because this business is trustworthy, I would definitely suggest them business wise and if I needed them again without hesitation I would utilize this business ,very happy,Thank you,Jennifer S.

Guess they don't teach you how to park at this driving school...... Definitely a repeat offender in our parking garage

Great experience! Beyond professional and helpful. My son passed his DMV test on the first try! Will definitely use them again when my daughter is ready for her lessons and test.

I thought the services where absolutely terrible. My driving instructor almost got me into a accident. She told me to go through a red light after I told her twice it was red.
