American Best Driving & Traffic School

I have recommended America’s Best Driving School to many friends and I would say about 8 have used it so far and all have been happy. I have used Luis for both of my teenagers to learn basic driving. He is quite patient and helpful. He starts them out on the surface side streets and graduates them into busy traffic fairly quickly which is important because Parents you will be taking them next and you better hope that they are ready. Both of my children were successful drivers under his guidance as were all of my neighbor’s children. This company and Luis are by far the most reasonable driving school around. His car is a bit old but it is a great car to learn in.

This man is not a good instructor whatsoever. He doesn’t accept credit card payment. He was very unprofessional, his car was filthy and out of date. He entirely wasted my time. Thank goodness I didn’t give this man a dollar. He showed me the minimal basics and was attempting to show me how to make turns while we were sitting in a parking lot facing a wall. He insisted on grabbing my wrists to show me. When I told him that I didn’t like my wrists being grabbed, he told me we were going to have problems. He handed me my permit and I got out. He attempted to get me back in the car when I let him know I would be leaving this review. This was my only day off and he totally wasted my time. NEVER go to this man for a lesson. He is unprofessional and rude. I will be finding a better instructor promptly. Thanks again bro for wasting my time!

Louis is the absolute best. (He operates independently — if you call the number listed under American Best you’ll be connected directly to him.) He’s a friendly Chilean man in his late 50s and early 60s, and he couldn’t be a more patient, personable teacher. I am a 28 year old who had never learned to drive, and Louis got me from zero to passing my driver’s test (on the first try!) in just over a month (and it would have taken less time if it hadn’t been for the holidays.) He strikes just the right balance between pushing you a little out of your comfort zone, and making you feel totally safe and secure, which is the mark of a really great teacher. He also set up my DMV appointment and handled all the paperwork at the DMV when it was time to take the test, which was a huge load off my mind and let me focus on just doing well on the test. He’s also a really nice, fun guy to spend time in the car with, and has a lot of great stories about his past careers as an airplane and railroad engineer. All around, a wonderful teacher who I will sincerely miss not seeing anymore now that my lessons are through. I can’t recommend him highly enough!

Absolutely PERFECT!
My instructor a 50 year old man from Chile was very experienced in driving. He made me relax and instructed me with confident and safety. He has been driving in LA for more then 15 years and knew all the streets everywhere. I was amazed. He took his time and for the first time I made no big mistakes at all. I already feel like I can pass the test! He was very friendly and cheerful. I wish I had gone here the first time I was looking for lessons.
