I made an appointment at 8am, but the instructor named Hector never showed up. He finally called at 8:10am to inform that he was running late and would like to postponed it to 8:30, so I agreed. By 8:40, there was still a no show, but he called and said that he couldn't find my place. He actually ended up on the other side of town. How could a driving instructor with over 30 years of experiences without any sense of direction? I then called the office, and the person told me he did write down the correct address. He said he would find out what the problem was, but he never called back to either follow up or apologize.

This driving school is great. The price is pretty cheap too (about $200 for 6 hours of training). Definitely worth it if you want to get your license... because I sure did!

The instructor assigned to me, Mohammed, has been in the business for years and thus comes across as an expert but never intimidating.

Instructors also have to be socially competent to be able to carry not just the lesson but a conversation as well, and Mohammed does it pretty good. He knows the city since he?s lived here for quite a while now and actually struts a little tour guide stint whenever in touristy places.

The only thing I didn?t like about Ford is that they let students pick-up other students. For the last several minutes spent on driving to the next student?s location, the current student?s itinerary and lesson points become limited. We also ended the last session 10 minutes short.
