West Coast Driving School

If anyone is looking for a driving instructor I highly recommend Gabby! Today I took my drivers test and passed! Gabby is so patient and attentive. She doesn’t startle you or raise her voice when you make a mistake. She kindly corrects you and has you go back and try again until you get it done right! I was always a nervous wreck when others would try to teach me how to drive, but within the first hour of being instructed by Gabby I already felt an improvement and confidence with my driving skills! I took 3 classes, two hours each. She gave me the option of my last class being taken the day of my test that way I can get some
practice in and ease my nerves before moving onto my test. It really helped! Now I am officially a licensed driver!

red flags. i was not happy with jorge. i think he thinks taking these kids out for driving instructions mean he can take them out on a date in his mind. he took my daughter out to eat when he was suppose to be teaching her to drive. brought her home late. then when confronted by it he goes to get the police so he can cover hes own ass for taking minors out to eat. beware of this guy. red flags

There is too much to say in a great way but let me tell you the general idea. Jorge is an awesome driving instructor! I personally love the way he taught. He is very packed and a funny person to talk to. I would have loved to take more lesson by him. I definitely recommend getting Jorge to teach!

This is a wonderful driving school! I was initially very nervous about driving, but Gabby was so patient! She was extremely helpful and informative about the rules of the road as well as the driving test!
Expect to get behind the wheel right from the get go on your first session. It may seem intimidating at first, but the instructor will guide you through the process! Besides having your instructor pick you up, you may also find yourself having to drive home the student who had been having their lesson before you. This is a great way for getting accustomed to having more people inside the car.
And don’t be afraid to ask them any questions you might have about street rules and/​or the driving test!
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this driving school to anyone looking to learn behind-​the-​wheel! You’ll get the hang of driving in no time!

Good customer service, my daughter’s instructor was George, professional and my daughter felt comfortable with the instruction. Pricing was reasonable/​competitive. My daughter passed her driving test the first time, so happy customer :-)

I found this company based on other Unilocal reviews, and am so glad that we did. My son was a hesitant driver who did not show much interest in getting his license. After just one lesson with George, he had so much confidence and was excited about learning to drive. George also communicated with us in such a professional and positive manner throughout our experience.
Since my son had an appointment for his behind the wheel test at Pomona, rather than our local area, I asked if George could take him around the location prior to the test. My son opted to do this the morning of his test, and use the driving school vehicle as well.
The end result… a perfect score on his driving test! And I know he is a safe and confident driver thanks to the fantastic driver traing he received at West Coast Driving School. As a teacher myself, I appreciate those like George who have a passion and talent for instructing others. I highly recommend this school!

After taking driving lessons at another school, I still didn’t feel prepared, so I came to this one. It was definitely the right choice. I had all 3 of my lessons with George, he is an awesome instructor! He helped me feel at ease while driving, even while on the dreaded freeway. He also gave me a lot of tips on how/​what the DMV grades to prepare me for the road test, I’m almost certain I wouldn’t have passes without those. Instead, I got my licence on the first attempt. After 3 classes with him, I came out a muuuuch better driver than I was before, eve after having already taken lessons at another school. I would most definitely recommend West Coast Driving School!

I had my first two lessons with Gabby. At first I was really afraid of speed, but just after an hour of driving in my first class, I felt more comfortable than I was at the beginning. Gabby is also very calm and helpful. The place she recommended me to take my written test is awesome. She also makes me feel more and more confident in my driving skill.

I looked at many driving schools in my area and saw this one was highly recommended. I scheduled my first lesson with Gabby and was very satisfied with that lesson and the following ones. She made me feel at ease when driving, helped me learn how to handle the freeway, kept a positive learning environment, and was very attentive to questions I had outside of our lesson time together. I would definitely recommend this driving school to anyone who needs help learning

My daughter felt 100% comfortable with George… Even on the freeway. She said he was very calm, even driving with people that don’t really know how to drive.
She did 3 days in a row during a week when I was gone. I was very happy with how much better & more confident a driver she became in just those 3 days.
The price was better than other places I had checked, and when I called with my ‘protective mom’ concerns, Gabby was very helpful and answered all my questions.
I have already recommended George & Gabby to a close friend, so I hope they continue the great service.

Gabby and George were both very helpful in answering my calls and multiple questions. They happily accommodated a last minute lesson before my driving test to help boost my confidence and taught me very, very well.
Some aspects of the lesson seemed a little unorthodox such as changing instructors midway through and collecting the second student before taking me home but over all I learned a lot in the two hours and would recommend this driving school. Thank you George and Gabby!

THANK YOU!!! I was in a bind and needed a DL 44 form. I am so grateful and appreciative! Can’t wait to send my daughter to your school for driving lessons!

I recommend West Coast Driving School for so many reasons. First of all I originally went with Bobs driving school for my daughter, they were ok but after the first driving lesson they didn’t have an opening for two weeks so I came on to Unilocal & found that West Coast driving school was recommended on another site. I called them and they were just so nice especially cause we had a time frame, they were able to schedule lessons back to back. They picked her up in West Covina & my daughter felt so comfortable with Gabby the instructor/​owner who let her know what she was doing wrong & instructed her on the correct way different from Bobs she said. My daughter who seemed so nervous in the beginning was able to get her license. I feel it was worth every penny to get great service.

I cannot recommend West Coast Driving School enough… truly very happy with them. I hired them for a ~1.5 hour lesson + use of their vehicle for my sister’s road test at the Pomona DMV for $ 105. George, the owner, taught my sister, and he gave her TONS of tips about how the DMV scores its points. She said that if she hadn’t gotten the lesson with George, she’s positive she would have failed because she wouldn’t have known to look at every intersection, which is –2 points each time. Other techniques he employed to make her more aware of the speed limit and stop signs as well as when she should drive as slow as she feels comfortable with, really helped her with the road test. She only got 3 points off!
WCDS also offers driver’s training, 6 hours for $ 200, and they do offer pick up and drop off service as far west as West Covina and the Covina area. I had a great experience with them, cannot emphasize that enough, and I am grateful that I don’t have to take my sister back for another road test and pay additional $$! So relieved: D
Tip:
You should hire a car from a driving school for any road test because there are dual brake/​accelerator pedals on the front passenger side. My sister’s DMV road test person was able to help her during the test by speeding up or braking as needed so she didn’t have any major points deducted.
