I highly recommend AW Driving School! I had the 30 minute lesson before the test and it helped me out so much! During the lesson they teach you exactly what to do and how to do it. For example, I went their not knowing how to parallel park and I still passed because my lesson instructor taught me in 5 minutes! After my exam he said to my grandma and driving instructor that i passed and they were both beyond proud! Even the lady at the front desk! I recommend AW Driving school! It was the best experience!

I recently took the 30 minute practice test followed by the drivers test and I had an amazing experience. They make the experience quick and easy. Everyone is very supportive and easy to get along with. I would definitely recommend for anyone who is nervous about taking their drivers test.

I just got my license today! Nervous as all can be but, Jason was an incredible instructor! I highly recommend going to this driving school, and having him as your instructor. He was phenomenal with taking nerves away. I felt very comfortable with him. He made me laugh a lot which, made those nerves go away. Thank you so much, Jason! You were so calm, understanding, and patient!

The guy named earl should be re trained or just trained period . He was talking way too low , had a disgusting attitude, was talking to me using slang and just wanted my practice run to be over with , seemed to be in a hurry . But the actual examiner was very nice. Very calm and patient and gave me good advice on parking. the road test was a good experience for me as well and I wasn’t as nervous . Overall it was an okay experience would recommend to a friend who knows how to drive and parallel park and just needs there license quick.

Was very nervous about the parallel parking part of the test. After messing up a few times , I calmed down and focused on what needed to be done. Passed the first time. Everyone made me feel comfortable and put my nerves at ease. Would recommend to everyone.

I don’t have enough words to explain how great this school is! Jason was my instructor and he was so kind and patient with me. I’ve been trying to learn to drive for 6-7 years on my own and never quite got it, but Jason made learning a breeze and I always felt safe. I can’t recommend them enough, they are wonderful!

Women there was very helpful, very touching to the heart, gave me a pep talk before the test and made me ace the things I felt concerned on. The person who gave me the test I believe was the owner took things calm and slow, didn’t rush and made me move at my pace. Overall I paid for the 30 minute practice and test! It was $99 and it was worth the money. I would recommend this to people who need to take their permit test or just practice. Overall great experience thank you again, AW Driving School.

Had a great experience with AW driving school. Had a lot of issues with my parallel parking, that they helped address. They made it very simple for me to get my license, through great instruction, and helped me stay calm and do well through their patient, kind, and knowledgeable staff. Would highly recommend to anyone trying to learn/improve their driving, and/or trying to get their license. Totally worth it!!

Fantastic people very convenient with the teachers picking the students from home. Friendly and professional the public school my kid is going to stopped drivers training because of the pandemic. I wanted to make sure he received some training before heading out into the world. AW did a fantastic job and they where even able to give him his drivers test. Didn’t have to deal with pendot at all that was a plus. My kid and I both thank you

Review №29

Talk about money hungry. not enough people talk about how HORRIBLE and clearly greedy for more money this center is! DO NOT BELIEVE THE GOOD RATINGS, THEY ARE FAKE RATINGS TRUST ME! payed $130 and the practice was a joke, spent the time listening to the trainer talk about his life and speak in cartoon voices. you are taught how to parallel park only once while using their vehicle that has a camera! (what about teaching in cars that do not have the camera!) I felt that everything was rushed and very unprofessional clear they just wanted money. I was unfairly failed while told by (2) instructors that I was doing great. Obviously there is a quota they go by determining who fails and passes, they want ur money not to help you. right after being told my skills were perfect I was told I did not pass, they even took points from my practice and used it toward my actual test because they did not have an actual reason to fail me! then told me to sign up for more classes which I would have to pay for. Now I am out of $130, no license and they expect more money from me. Would have definitely passed if I had just went to the actual penndot and saved a lot of money. Jason I believe is his name, is completely unprofessional and obviously foes not take his job seriously! same with the rest of the staff! stay your money! they honestly do not help with any stress and only make it worse with their lack of actual support and guidance. DO NOT COME HERE! SAVE THE MONEY!! THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNPROFESSIONAL AND MONEY HUNGRY, THEY WILL FAIL YOU TO TRY AND LEECH MORE MONEY OUT OF YOU BEWARE, STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCAM OF A DRIVERS CENTER!

This is a terrific place to take your child to learn to drive! The only downfall is they cant get their plastic license until they get their photo card in the mail.... they have their permit stamped to say its approved as a license. But great teachers!!!! Thank you so much!!!

This is absolutely the best school there is. I was able to receive training and the CDL road test in the same day. The Director Diego is hands down the best instructor there is and a great person. He truly cares and wants you to pass. He took his time and explained everything. I’m so grateful for Diego and the AW Driving School. If your looking for a school to attend this is the one. I will be returning in the near future for me Class A license. Trust me if you need a CDL license or driving license this is the school to go to.

BOOK NOW, DONT QUESTION IT! I could not be happier with my experience. Such a friendly and charismatic team that really helped me to feel confident and safe and ultimately get me over my anxiety of driving. They were so accommodating to changes in my hectic schedule, so I had the pleasure of working with three different instructors, Jason, Jenelle, and Oliver. All 3 knowledgeable, experienced, and supportive. Thank you so much AW Driving School for helping me overcome one of the most stressful and embarrassing hurdles in my adult life. Oh and did I mention I passed on the first try? ;)

Review №39

My 18 year old son needed 6 hours of driver training to qualify for a pretty significant insurance discount. We would have done this last year, but...COVID...Oliver was an excellent teacher and kept my son relaxed. He passed his test (done on-site) easily. When I called to ask about a certification that he had taken the course, it was emailed to me within 20 minutes.My oldest took a different driver training course, and while they were fine, it was nowhere near the same. My oldest failed his first test because he wasnt taught how to parallel park, because she didnt have time. My husband had driven with him for all of his practice. I showed him how to parallel park, and he passed the second time.So kudos to a great company, and Oliver is stellar.

Review №41

Our son needed to take his driving test and scheduling on PDOTs site was not happening anytime soon. The person giving the test was very helpful and knowledgable. He inspired confidence in our son. His goal was to help our son succeed, and he did. While there I saw other instructors interacting with other students and they all seemed professional and knowledgeable. On top of all that, they were cheaper than other places we looked at. I would recommend them for your driving needs.

Defintly Recommend. I went for my license and they gave good clear instructions. Great teachers. And as a 17 year old new driver I recommend the package that gives you a lesson before the actual driving exam. Helps a lot and calms your nerves since youll know what to expect.

I had a little bit of driving experience before taking their 4-lesson course, but AW Driving School made me feel at ease behind the wheel after a few years of no driving. My instructor, Jason, was very nice and professional, and the owner Andre was a pleasure to be around as well. Their company cars are very easy to use, and the fact that you can take your driver’s test with them helps out so much. I encourage you to take lessons with them if you feel nervous about driving.

Let me start by saying I failed my first try and would still give them 5 stars. The staff and instructors are very kind and seem to really love what they do. After failing my first test I was a little discouraged but the instructor made me feel better and took his time to tell me what I did wrong and actually showed me the right way. Second time around I passed my test and am extremely grateful for the instructor I had.Amazing job would definitely recommend for first time drivers and experienced drivers.

Review №53

It was fine. he did give me more confidence in driving and made my anxiety go down, also helped me with lane switching ( which is what i had trouble with). but like i wish they had cars without cameras to learn parallel parking because not every car has a camera. so i had to relearn parallel parking on my own. i also wish he had more patience with me because i know im slow but like him obviously getting mad when i messed up didn’t help either. but i did have a good experience - just those two problems.

AW driving school is a wonderful place to visit. The people there are friendly and professional. My grandson was having a bit of a problem with parallel parking. They took their time and worked with him and now he is a licensed driver. I truly feel he will drive better due to the AW team. I would recommend this business to all. It was a life saver for me. PEACE TO ALL.

I’m 17 and haven’t had much experience with driving so I took some classes here. They took me a little around Whitehall and we did some practice on the highway. The teacher I had was very nice, friendly, and patient. She gave me great tips for parking and parallel parking. I felt very prepared when taking the test and passed the first. I would really recommend coming here for first time drivers or those who just need the extra practice!

What an incredible driving school! Worth every penny! My daughter was very nervous and would not drive anywhere but a parking lot for 5 months. After her first lesson with her instructor Jack she asked to drive me to the store. The second day he had her on the highway after he asked her if she felt ready. By the fourth day she was ready for the test and passed on the first try. He taught her to be confident and was incredibly patient and knowledgeable!! I can not put into words how thankful we are to him for helping our daughter.

What An amazing experience!!! I took my 1st driving test at PennDOT and was failed in parallel parking because my wheels were on the line!!! Didn’t even get a chance to do road test! That was it.Then, To get another appointment I would have to wait 4-6 months!I scheduled with AW driving school The same day and got in that week!Easy scheduling. Great staff!Very friendly and put all my nerves at ease.Andre the owner is awesome! The receptionist is friendly which is hard to find... and my instructor Ray was so calm. Encouraged me. And is a USMC vet!! That’s a big plus for me. I did the whole test easily and he said I did amazing in the road. Highly recommend taking the Test here rather than PennDOT. Worth every dollar!!!

I have been to two driving schools before I came to AW. I was almost losing hope of finding a good one but this school is amazing. The couple that owns the school are amazing. My experience with them was awesome. They are honest, they care about their students and not only will they teach you how to drive but they will guide you through and help you understand the techniques. To me that is what driving school should be. Am so grateful I found them.
