Both my girls really enjoy their experienced with Eric Lopez. I thought he was a great instructor. He was easy to talk to and very patience.

The first thing that sets Referral Driving School apart from most other schools is their 5-lesson approach vs. a 3-lesson course used by most other programs. You can see a description of each session's objectives at their website. The lessons were spread evenly throughout the six months; at the time I thought the first couple should be front-loaded on the schedule, but I guess the spacing puts the onus on the parents to get in the habit of doing parental teaching early.

Second, they handled everything having to do with the DMV driving test including scheduling the exam and use of their car. I'm sure it's not very difficult to schedule the driving test, but being able to avoid this hassle was very convenient.

Thirdly, you may notice a theme in many of Referral's Yelp reviews. I rode along on 3 of my son's lessons with Daniel Tran and can confirm what other parents have said. Daniel is organized, knowledgeable, and encouraging, and his experience with new and young drivers translated well in my son's training; we have a perfect score on a rainy day to prove it.

We're glad we used Referral Driving School and had Daniel for the lessons.

Referral did a great job getting our teen ready for the driving test. Omar was a terrific instructor, very patient and was a great communicator. I highly recommend both Omar and Referral Driving School.

Referral Driving School was fantastic - competitively priced, professional and knowledgeable. My daughters’ instructor, Daniel Tran, was beyond patient and helpful. My daughter felt he was patient, a great instructor, and gave excellent positive feedback and constructive advice. She felt very well prepared to take her driving test, and passed with a perfect score! Daniel communicated effectively with me, answered all my questions in a timely manner, was always prompt and respectful. I cannot recommend Referral, and Daniel, enough.

My son's driving instructor was Eric. He was very friendly, positive, knowledgeable and flexible with appointments. My son just passed his driving test on his first attempt. I would highly recommend Eric!

Daniel Tran with Referral Driving School is the most amazing instructor. He was so patient and calm. My daughter is so grateful for him and all his help and expertise. She passed the first time taking it and that’s due to Daniel’s experience and dedication to teaching his students. Daniel is the very best!

My youngest of three sons had Daniel Tran as an instructor. He was by far the best instructor. Very patient and always had helpful tips. Communication and coordinating lessons was excellent. Daniel is well organized and always on time which made my part as a parent super duper easy!
