“As someone who was a complete beginner to gaining my license. I can easily recommend reliable driving school and my instructor Mr Imran who was a great teacher and motivated me through the entire process.“

“I started with 160 Driving Academy in May, 2024. I loved it.. I never had any prior experience before driving a semi truck. I thought the management was great. The instructors will work with you to achieve your goal in driving. A very family oriented environment and they made you feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this school if anyone is considering getting a CDL license and wanting to make more money and change careers or start something new. My advice to anyone reading this would be to take the initiative first step and go for it. Take this journey! Best Regards.“

“I would like to appreciate the Excel Driving school for my experience with them. Ray from the North Naperville location took extra time and effort to explain the packages and helped us navigate what was necessary for my daughter and also helped us find a female instructor as per our comfort. This brings me to give Kiran Haq (from the South Naperville location) a special shout out for ensuring that my daughter became a strong and safe driver. We had good days and bad days but Kiran didn't leave our side as she guided her with various techniques to perfect her driving skills and also guided us as parents on how to support our student driver.
Thank you !!!“

“I attended a different school but felt like it was too many people in the classroom so instructors wasn’t able to be as attentive to a learners needs more than 30 ppl which made me feel they cared more about money than students. But when I was referred by a friend about Expert Driving School which only has about 10-12 ppl in the classroom at a time, it was obvious thst Expert was the best option. Honestly a completely different experience when I say I have no complaints that’s exactly what I mean, I was working a full time job but still was able to finish in 8 weeks because of how serious I was to get this done but also how professional and courteous Ms.Beata is she’s such an amazing teacher she’s makes the pre trip so simple. Jose the driving instructor was very patient with his students, He saw the potential and determination in me so that made him push me harder. I appreciate this school for treating me like family and assisting me on my rode to success. Thank you! To the entire staff“

“Walter is a strange but exceptionally amazing teacher! Kids learn the rules of the roads easily.“

“Thank you so much for this wonderful experience. I have learned so much as well as practiced my skills. In the end of the course I felt ready to pass my exam and I did from my first attempt. Careful teachers who are always there to help! Try this school! You wont regret it!!!“

“The best driving school! I took adult driving classes with Mr Jack and he helped me get rid of my road fear and start driving on my own. He taught me rules of the road, handling the vehicle and being confident in my driving. I couldn’t thank enough the friend who suggested me to take classes with Sunshine. Mr Harry got my classes scheduled as per my request and Mr Jack was always on time. I cleared my driving test before my last class and happily driving.“

“Amazing experience Selene and Jasmine are both great teachers within 12 hours btw over 2 months they help me get my drivers licenses and work with my schedule!“

“The class was very engaging. Mr Brad was an excellent teacher that I would recommend to others when asked!“

“Excellent experience for my daughters! Highly recommend and no comparison to competition. Customer service was very responsive when we needed assistance.“

“Top Driver provided an overall excellent driving education for my son. Their program is well designed and they live up to their motto of teaching driver intelligence. There were a couple of hiccups with the classroom experience and the in-car driving scheduling; however, Mr. Kraft (the director of the Lombard office, I believe) was responsive, respectful, professional and never made me feel out of place for reaching out to him with these issues.

Regarding the classroom experience: My son did not particularly enjoy his classroom instructor in Wheaton as she was somewhat patronizing. The initial parent/student meeting at the first classroom session was supposed to be about 30 minutes but she dragged it out to over an hour and required each student to read a paragraph from her PowerPoint slide out loud in front of the entire group. Mr. Kraft was able to take my concerns back to the Wheaton office afterward and hopefully that situation has improved.

Regarding the in-car driving scheduling: We paid for the Diamond program in order to benefit from the advanced in-vehicle lesson scheduling. With this program, you are supposed to be able to schedule your lessons about two weeks in advance of students in the Silver, Gold and Platinum programs. This is accomplished by calling customer service as early as the first business day of each month. This started out a bit counterproductive for me because the driving instructors often do not provide their availability to the schedulers that early; instead, availability is released closer to the middle of the month when the other program participants are able to schedule.

I realized that not many people must participate in the Diamond program because Mr. Kraft made himself available at the beginning of each month to help coordinate my son's lesson scheduling. Generally this is done with the customer service department; however, given our participation in the Diamond program, Mr. Kraft worked directly with me over email/phone and got us scheduled at times that always worked well for us.

My son was initially terrified to do the driving lessons, but his initial drive with Ms. Russo gave him self-confidence and eased his anxieties. My son was so reassured that he ended up doing every driving lesson with her. Ms. Russo had a calming presence and knew what to say to make each experience pleasant and educational. We were very lucky to have found her and benefited from her teaching skills.

Top Driver is now certified to facilitate the Secretary of State road test. My son had his test with Mr. White. We weren't sure how well he did after the test because Mr. White didn't say much and disappeared to tally up his score. He revealed with an unprecedented level of excitement, however, that my son received the best score of any student he had had do the road test since they started facilitating them about 4 months prior! My son was so proud of himself and now takes his driver intelligence with him each time he drives.

I am not a paid reviewer; I am not an affiliate of Top Driver; I am not benefiting from this review by any means. Mr. Kraft, Ms. Russo, Mr. White and the helpful customer service agents all deserve an A+ shout-out for helping my son happily accomplish his goals on a schedule that worked for us. Thanks to Top Driver in Lombard!“
