I don’t even know where to start, I have so many great things to say! Connie is the best driving teacher hands down. I’m 24 years old and had horrible driving anxiety and Connie helped me get over that fear instantly. Her energy while driving with you is so calm and she’s so comforting which is exactly what I needed to feel confident behind the wheel. She made sure I was 100% ready for my test and worked with me a lot to get my parallel parking perfect. I’m so grateful I found her school and that she was able to help me get my license! She brought me to my test and supported me the entire time. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Connie. Thank you so...read full review
At three o’clock the day before my son was scheduled to take his driving test we found out we didn’t have the car to take his test in.. I frantically started googling driving schools and Connie was my first call.. she answered my call I explained my dilemma to her and she didn’t hestitate to help.. she was able to accommodate my son after she took another student for her test.. I just want to say a million thank you’s to Connie for helping us on such short notice.. I would not have heard the end of it if I had to tell my son we had to reschedule his test! I would HIGHLY recommend Connie!! She couldn’t have been nicer and she saved the day!!! Thanks again Connie!!
My youngest child got her driver's license last week, thanks to Connie. I had decided to do the road test on our own....summer was going to be busy and we had a car with a hand break. At our first attempt, we showed up at the DMV at our scheduled time, but the insurance card was printed without a water mark (not an original document), so despite my begging, DMV turned us away and told us to reschedule. Because we were doing this on our own, we had to reschedule on our own. My husband went to the DMV in person, but had difficulty figuring out how/where to reschedule. He ran into an instructor from the driving school we used for her 6 hours behind the wheel. The instructor said they could handle rescheduling. A few days later, my husband called them to follow-up. "Nope. The instructor shouldn't have said that. You'll have to do it." Back to the DMV my husband went. He was given a new date and time from the DMV, but it was the same day our older daughter would be having her white coat ceremony in NC. They told him that the time didn't matter. That she could come at 8am to take the test (even though her road test appointment was scheduled for 1pm). So, that day came and it was the day after hurricane Ida hit. Connie was second in line waiting. We were 5th. She was kind enough to share information with the cars down the line that the DMV had just issued a delayed opening. And so they wouldn't be opening until 10:30. She offered to move my daughter up to her spot in line after she took her student through, and I left the decision up to my daughter. Despite being disappointed a second time, she didn't want to miss our flight to see her sister get her white coat. (As it turns out, the appointment time is NOT flexible). We were distraught, frustrated and stressed. Connie immediately offered to help. She handled rescheduling the road test appointment, took my daughter out for refresher drives and built up my daughter's confidence to be successful in her test a couple weeks later. Sometimes it seems like the whole world is on edge and the smallest gesture can get everything back on track. That's what Connie did for us.
