This is the best place to learn driving for all ages. The instructors are so patient and kind. Ronnie and Richard taught me multiple classes. I learned so much from them. Ronnie took my driving test and I passed today,first try! Ronnie was very encouraging and because of that I didnt feel intimidated taking the test.I will recommend Ayala driving school to everyone.

I 100% recommend Ayala & Associates Driving School! I did the 7 hour package of adult driving with Richard, and he is amazing! If you are anxious or nervous about driving, try to schedule with him! Richard is so helpful, knowledgeable, and will make you more confident in your driving. The other instructors are also great! Everyone at Ayala was nice and helpful.I just took my driving test with Ronnie at Ayala as well, and I passed almost effortlessly because of this school :)

I like the class from Instructor Ronny. I took 3 hours class with him, and he was very kind and professional. He never gets tired of teaching. I recommend his classes to anyone. He took extra effort for me to understand better. He also gave me the driving test, and I passed.Thank you, Instructor Ronny.

For my scheduled behind the wheel driving session. I requested for mail or SMS confirmation for future reference which never happened as committed. Last minute only I came to know my scheduled behind the wheel driving session because of which i could not take up. I requested to reschedule it but instead asking for cancellation and fresh new charges to reschedule. So I dont recommend this driving school.

I did 6 adult driving lessons, and Richard made it well worth the price. He calmly gave guidance and corrections. I went from being intimidated by the car to having confidence in driving.

Richard is awesome! I took 3 behind the wheel lessons with Richard and he taught me so much! He is amazing at what he does and he made me less nervous behind the wheel. Ronnie is also awesome! I took my drivers test with Ronnie and he was so patient and made me feel very comfortable behind the wheel. I would definitely recommend taking courses at this driving school!

Driving experience is fine & instructor is professional in his field, but scheduling and paying fee with receptionist availability is really hassle.( website for scheduling the driving class is not available for me, i don’t know why, No sms alerts for future schedules )

Terrible place to go for driving lessons or anything in general. The front office lady Sarah is not a person of their word, very terrible at communicating, terrible with answering calls and admitting their own mistakes. I got my money refunded to me and didn’t even get back the same amount she promised. I fully 100% think this company is a scam and only cares about money. Never had this much trouble and terrible experience in my life. If you think about signing your kids up for here don’t!!!!

One of the student drivers STOPPED in the middle of traffic. Slammed on his brakes to wave at someone in another car, telling people to go around him with his hand. Not in a neighborhood, but in the middle of traffic. I had to slam on my brakes so I did not hit him. Terrible, irresponsible, and to whomever was driving should never posses a drivers license.

I just moved to America and was hoping to get my driving license from America. Since the traffic rules here are quite different, I really wanted to join a good driving school to basically get realigned with driving. Ayala driving school helped me very much, and their staffs and instructors are so very kind and helpful. I had more lessons with Mr. Richard. He was very patient and kind with his way of teaching. And very helpful.Overall, I would recommend Ayala driving school very much! :) It is a good place to learn how to drive.

When I came to Ayala and Associates, I drove most of my lessons with Richard and every driving experience was very positive. I feel that I am ready for my driving test, and that this school has made me more than qualified to be a newly licensed driver, thank you to everyone who works at Ayala and Associates driving school!

I took my road test this morning with Ronnie, and I passed. Great communication. It was fast, and easy. Very smooth. Sarah was very helpful. I went to DPS right after, and got my license. I wish I looked into their school earlier, but it’s better late than never. Thank you Sarah, and Ronnie. You guys are amazing.

Great service, I drove with Richard and Ronnie, who where both phenomenal! I have driven for years back home in South Africa, but I learned so much from both of these professionals. With their help you’ll be one of the most qualified drivers on the road. Could not recommend them enough!

I just got done taking my test and before I walked in I was freaking out but as soon as I walked in I was greeted with suck positivity and they made me feel so comfortable. Definitely recommend this place for anyone super nervous to take the test but also if you just want to meet some amazing people that are there to make sure you succeed.

Can’t say enough good things about Ayala Driving School! The entire staff is amazing! Thank you so much to Ron and Sarah. Sarah was so well informed and helped us with all our DMV questions and scheduling concerns. She knew exactly what we would need and how to help.Mr. Ronnie was an amazing instructor. He turned my anxious teenaged driver into a confident, secure, knowledgable and now licensed driver!! Thank you so much Mr. Ronnie for all your patience, encouragement and especially for sharing all the things one should look out for while driving. My daughter passed her driving test because of all you taught her. We feel truly blessed to have found a school with instructors and staff that listened to and addressed our daughters driving concerns and anxieties. They made the process so easy!

I highly recommend going here to take classes, or just the DPS test. My son went to a DPS facility and the non English speaking instructor couldnt even direct him properly. Paid the fee here which is so worth it. Ronnie was his instructor and was a great instructor. My son loved him. Definitely will bring my other kids here

Amazing!! Ronny, taught me how to parallel park and gave me super useful tips on how to improve my weaknesses. He gave me great correction but it never felt degrading and it made me want to improve. I passed my driving test with him with just one lesson(I had several hours practice driving, with my parents but no driving classes) !! On top of that their office was supper clean and the person that took our phone call was so nice and helpful. Highly recommend.

Our son had a fantastic experience at Ayala. We were able to take the stress out of learning to drive by having Ayala as a partner to guide the process. Our son was instructed by teachers who cared and have a level of patience and calm I do no! Highly recommend and encourage others to alleviate the anxiety of parent taught drivers education with Ayala.

Review №54

Our daughter had six drives with little feedback outside of take it easy watch yourself. At that point she hadnt been taken on the freeway once and we had been given no progress reports. The communication regarding the process, (classes, then drives, then tests, progress reports, recording parent hours, etc) was non-existent. It was nearly impossible to schedule drives when they posted availability for only two weeks at a time and time slots filled up quickly. I was highly disappointed in the quality of instruction and generally felt like I had been scammed or ripped off. The one star is for one specific instructor; Richard, who was the only one who actually took the time to INSTRUCT versus just letting her drive through neighborhoods and even made a point of stopping to talk to me before I left. Otherwise the instruction was horrible - I cant stress enough how bad it was.

Review №61

I booked lessons here for the first time and the first instructor I had was very nice. I dont recall his name but he was a much older man. He was a very good teacher. Thats the only reason Im giving this place any stars at all. The second time I came back in a middle aged white man treated me very rudely and said my permit was unacceptable eventhough it was accepted the last time I came in. He proceeded to make rude comments to the lady at the front desk about my situation and it was audible to everyone in the room. After that I was told I needed to pay a fee for not being able to complete my lessons, which I understand, but the lady at the front desk didnt even know how to refund me the rest of my money and she had an attitude. I had to pretty much tell her what she had to do, eventhough thats her job. Her name was Sarah. I am still waiting on my refund for those lessons. I guess they have days where the staff is good and days where the staff is rude. Either way it was a horrible experience and I am not going back.

Signed driver up for driving test. The Ayala instructor immediately took our driver to a parking lot to do the parallel parking test between two cones. He flunked our driver and terminated the test after a few minutes. Since we paid $50 for the entire 15-20 minute test we expected he would have the chance to complete the whole test to learn if he needed improvement in any other areas.There is also heavy road construction on the road leading in and out of Ayala. It can be quite confusing.
