American Challenge Driving School

My instructor created a calm, relaxed environment for me while I was learning all the steps of becoming a licensed driver. I would honestly recommend American Challenge to anyone! The instructor was very flexible and willing to work around my schedule and not to mention the cheap cost of lessons was a huge relief. My sister tried many times to find a good driving school and it wasn’t until American Challenge that she felt comfortable and willing to put her effort into full affect which is why she suggested I go through this system as well. A few months later I got my license the first behind the wheel test I took!

The other instructor never texted me back, she flakes. And she blames it on me she always said I never made an appointment., she said «she doesn’t want to do business with me anymore» like it was my fault. Aha, I would rate her negative stars if I could. She would yell at me and she has taken personal phone calls in the car while with me. She talks about her personal life when I am paying to be taught how to drive. I don’t want to hear about how your kid is a fuck up and how he got his girl pregnant and how she’s crazy I wanna learn how to drive thanks

I absolutely love American Challenge driving school and would recommend it to anyone. The instructor made me feel very comfortable and taught me a lot of new things on each lesson. Both of my sisters, who are now 20, have used American Challenge as well and absolutely love it. The instructor is funny and makes you feel comfortable and the prices can’t be beat!

I agree w/Crystal’s review.
On Sept 25 around 5:35pm on Creston Rd I saw a small, dirty silver 4 door sedan about 4 cars ahead. It quickly switched lanes (no blinker) and cut off a white truck. (who then got p. o’ed & pulled back in front of car) I thought it must be teen drivers acting dumb. I was wrong.
At the stop sign by Sherwood Park I noticed the American Challenge decal on the bad driver’s car and couldn’t believe the middle-​age driver who was speeding and driving unsafely owned a driving school.
After seeing her reckless driving, there’s NO way I’d let my teen be instructed by American Challenge!
It gets worse. So then I got home and called them. «Are you the lady who was just on Creston?»
When she said yes she immediately asked «Were you in the Mercedes?!» (Almost like she had another incident w/​another driver!)
I answered «Um, no… I WISH I had a Mercedes. I just saw you speeding and switch lanes w/​no blinker, cutting off a white truck. That kind of bad driving is really bad advertising for your business!»
She sarcastically blurted out «Oh well… SORRRRRY!»
I calmly told her that because of her snarky tone I didn’t think she was sorry at all and I wouldn’t recommend American Challenge to anyone.

I have never used this service before BUT I can promise you I NEVER would for my children. The instructor and a student were on the freeway and I went to pass them and the instructor FLIPPED me off! The student was driving 55 in fast lane so I proceeded to pass safely in the slow lane and succeeded. Obviously the owner/​instructor didn’t like that. But she should be telling the student to switch lanes. Horrible ethic and attitude!

I have used American Challenge for both of my kids. Once in 2011, and again in 2013 – 14. Both times I was very pleased and would highly recommend them. The instructor is very flexible with time, working around everyone’s schedule. She picked up my son from school twice, then after the lesson brought him home. How convenient! Both of my kids felt very comfortable with the instructor. She made them feel relaxed and confident. Not like driving with a DMV instructor!
She communicates well with parents; addressing any concerns the parent or child may have.
Bottom line, I have and would recommend them.

Very unprofessional! Instructor shouts at students and even takes personal phone calls and stops at her house while teaching (which is also included in the hours students pay for). Instructor argues at the phone as well. Talk about washing your dirty laundry in public. The sessions are cheap but are not worth the rude behavior teen drivers have to put up with. Teachers like this should be banned from teaching.
