There were a few rocky moments but overall I’m glad I took lessons here. If it weren’t for this school then I wouldn’t be driving at all and also wouldn’t have my drivers’ license. When I first got inside of a car I would get severe driving anxiety and freeze up but because of this school it really helped me overcome that. Now I’m driving around as if it’s nothing. They also let me take the road test on a different day because I came a bit late which I appreciated. If you don’t know how to drive and want to learn then I definitely would recommend this school. It is very affordable and instructors are very informative and friendly.

I heard so many good things about amigo driving school so when it was finally my time to start driving I knew I wanted them to be my driving school! But when I signed up I saw random people commenting negativity on the reviews after my mom paid and signed me up I was skeptical and wasn’t gonna go anymore. But I’m glad I decided to stick with because I highly recommend coming here I struggle with anxiety and it never flares up when I’m driving with my teacher because she’s so patient, assertive and helpful. She believes in me and makes me so proud of myself. If you ever wanna learn how to drive or get prepared for your road exam definitely come to Amigo driving school!

Very professional. I like the way the instructor was always very patience with me and allowed me to feel confident of what I was doing. I would highly recommend Amigo Driving School. If you are looking for a company that not just take it as job but more so as a way to help people accomplish their driving goals, this is the place for you!

Yessy is a great instructor! She taught me how to drive on the highway, correct distance for stopping, and other helpful information that one should know when driving. I feel like i’ve gone from being inexperienced to a better driver! I would recommend this business to anyone who wants to learn how to drive from a quality school.

Terrible school, I took only one lesson and for second class they took money but the second lesson was never completed. What they write about them is bad here, everything is true. Dont repeat my mistake, dont waste your time, they have cheaper prices and you will get a terrible service for that money. I still havent gotten the second lesson and lost the whole day waiting for my lesson, they never did it. They didnt even call to say that there would be no lesson.

I always told myself, no matter how good your business is, there will always be negative reviews. What I failed to realize is that its the same reviews about the same BS. VERY unorganized. I booked with this school almost two months ago. I called and asked questions even before I paid. They constantly cancelled on me and scedualed me in the middle of my shift when I specifically told them not to. Finally after a month, I asked for my money back. Miraculously, they were able to get my classes back to back as promised to have a better chance of passing. The owner did explain they were having dificulties and I took the benefit of the doubt and decided to continue the service. I EXPECTED them the make it up to me as promised. Come the day of the road test im all ready at 6am, somehow they could not get in contact with me even though ive been in contact with the owner since day 1. Which means rescedualling again. I expressed my frustration & she told me tuesday. It is now tuesday and guess what?? They couldnt say they cant get in contact, its just no one showed up! I literally went out of my way to stay in chicago and paid extra for a plane ticket just to tell me whoops we lied again. Not to mention shes going to let me know we go around the route three times on the day of the road test and that counts as two hours. I hate that I had to explained my frustration the way I did, but DO NOT PLAY WITH MY MONEY OR TIME. But its my fault. I should have ran after the third lie.

I just called to figure out at what time do you guys open tomorrow since I kept calling today and no answer and finally someone picked up at 4:00pm just to have them hang up on me when I asked at what time do you guys open tomorrow. Was really considering this driving school but alas I don’t think it will happen unfortunately. It was just the lady handling the phone who didn’t seem professional.

All of the driving instructors are nice and friendly. I had Julian as an instructor and he saw me struggling with my right and left turns and we spent almost an hour until I got it right. Thanks to him, I now know how to correctly make my turns. I really recommend him if you are struggling because he is really patient and will help you a lot. Yessi took me to the DMV to get my license and practices with you before taking your road test to make sure youre ready. I found that really helpful. Thanks to them, I passed my permit and road test on my first attempt !

Absolutely wonderful! Passed the test on the first try after working with Jessie (Yessenia). She is an amazing instructor -- tough but fair, always supportive and encouraging. Driving lessons + life advise you need to hear (if you choose to share). The school is very good about working around your schedule and accommodating route preferences. I feel as though I am both a much cautious and confident driver now. Could not recommend strongly enough.

I took the five day driving instruction with Yessenia and it was a great experience. She knows what she is talking about when it comes to driving and cares very much about the student not only passing the road test but learning safe driving techniques.If you are a beginner, you should take the five day or longer instruction because it will benefit you in the end to get as many days as possible with a professional instructor.I recently took the road test at the Elston facility and passed it thanks to what I learned during my time with Yessenia.

Hi, I am extremely thankful to Victor and Kate and highly recommend Amigo driving school to everyone who is looking for the services offered by them.They have good experience in this field and so very good chances of you being successful on what you are looking for could be to learn driving or get a license done. Just want to share my experience, I recently moved to Chicago and was looking to get comfortable driving in US with left steering ( I was only used with right steering wheel throughout my life) and wanted to get a license. On first day Kate helped me to get comfortable driving on the left and must say her training was really good by end of my training i was able to go around by myself. On the matter of getting my license Victor was really kind, I had paid my fees and scheduled training and Car but unfortunately the documents I had carried did not meet the criteria for a road test, the day was wasted. Thankfully Victor scheduled again without any further fees and let me take road test few days later.I successfully cleared the test, guys it’s worth the money if you are seriously looking out to get your license done!!! Thanks AMIGO DRIVING SCHOOL!!!

THE BEST DRIVING SCHOOL IN ILLINOIS! Kate is an amazing instructor, helped me fight all my fears, she treats her students with respect, she is very patient, calm and professional. Amigo has a lot of good deals. I came to the driving school instead of being picked up and saved a lot of money. The car was brand new Honda, (which is a nice surprise, considering most of the other driving schools using old ones). It was really easy to drive, it was nice and clean inside. I got my license in less than a week! Literally one of the best decisions in my life, YOU wont regret it.

Passed my drivers test on the first try! Amazing teaching techniques. I had Kate as my instructor and Id highly recommend her for any new drivers. Her teaching technique was amazing. She observes how you drive, then tells you what you need to work on as well as how to fix the errors you make while you are driving. I also had the chance to learn how to drive on the expressway which was great. Kate personality makes for a great ride where you can relax and learn at ease. She took me to my drivers test today, she helped me to the point that she was able to help me remain calm and stress-free while waiting to take the test. Hopefully, the new drivers will be able to have a chance to learn with her. Thank You Amigo!

Theres no such thing as a bad student, only a bad teacher. I was so lucky to find the right one and cant be more thankful to him. When Victor told me that he could teach me driving a car in one week, it seemed completely impossible. I must say that he was a man of his word. I got my drivers license on April 1st and I dont doubt anymore that everything is possible! :) It took me only 4 lessons to successfully pass my road test on my first try, which was totally beyond my expectations. I am especially happy because my permit expires in a couple of days. I nailed it! Thank you, Victor, for your patience, detailed explanations, and precious guidance! You are awesome! Now driving a car seems way easier than before :D Trust me, guys, if I could make it, you can make it too! All you need is a good teacher and a belief in yourself.

Review №46

This school is amazing. My instructor name was Victor I came there barely being able to drive and Victor was able to teach me all that I needed to know within 6 days. I honestly thought I never would drive but Victor was very confident in me and very encouraging he always had a metaphor or a story that would give me the confidence that I needed to believe I could do it. Though sometimes a little pushy but I knew it was because he knew I could do it he would say I want you to get this license you can do this. Which I appreciate very much because I feel like when you pay your money for a service you should get the best service and Victor definitely gave me that. He was even willing to take me to the bank on the days I had to pay him so I didnt get charged an extra fee using my card and on the day of my driving test I brought the wrong papers he was willing to take me back home to get the papers, to the DMV to take the test, to the bank and drop me back at home after it was finished and I live all the way on the south side of Chicago. So not only is he encouraging he is accommodating which I really appreciate. I got more than what I paid for which I love and all for a reasonable price. So I highly recommend this driving school they wont fail you or waste your time and money and definitely highly recommend Victor he is an amazing teacher.

Amigo was without a doubt a godsend. I was able to pass my driving test on the first try after a weeks worth of lessons. After initially being afraid to drive, I was able to gain confidence from my instructor, Kate, and felt like I could take on the challenge after her lessons.Kates instructions were very easy to understand, and when I didnt understand things - or if I was too nervous - she would find a solution in a calm and professional manner. Her method of teaching you how to drive is very calculated, but as stated before - easy to understand.Without giving away too much, Amigo was a great choice and you guys should definitely give them a try; there wont be a single regret.

I came into Amigo Driving School after failing the Driving test twice in Florida. My behind the wheel driving instructor was Kate. She is a patient and well informed driving instructor. I was able to pass the test after doing the intermediate adult package. She made sure that I was confident and we also had some fun conversations throughout the duration of my lessons. I highly recommend Amigo Driving School for any drivers beginner or intermediate. Victor was helpful over the phone, friendly and attentive. Thank you guys!

Best driving school in the city!!! I signed myself up for the 3 class session after reading being recommended! Yessi was my instructor and got my license on my first try!!! She is hands down the person to go to if youre looking to get your license and receive comprehensive driving knowledge from. She is very calm and informative when youre behind the wheel with her and most important of all, PATIENT. Please give them a call. Victor will set you up for success on the road if youre a nervous driver like I WAS (Amigo gave me the confidence and knowledge to destroy my nerves and drive like a boss) and finally get yourself driving. Hope this review was helpful!

My sister needed driving lessons. We were able to contact Amigo and get information from Victor. He was extremely helpful, a week later we booked classes and my sister will be taking her road test with the confidence that she will receive her license. She loved victor and his patience with her since it was her first time behind the wheel. I recommend this place.

Review №51

This experience was one of the best experiences I had. I was nervous about driving behind the wheel, but Oscar worked with me until I was confident. The associate cares about others succeeding and that is the most important part of this course. We need more places like Amigo around the city in order to build one another’s confidence and have them ready behind the wheel. I will recommend this location to various people I know who have been through the same situation as me. I give this place a 5 out of 5 due to how organized they are, the instructors value towards the student, and having the student ready for the road. Wonderful job!

Review №52

Ive always tried getting my license over the years but every time id make it to the DMV id get a huge amount of anxiety and start to self-doubt but just this year I decided to try again with all the free time I had in my hands. I had purchased an 8-hour package and started my first day with Yessenia the owner, shes very friendly and full of energy and she pushed me and gave me some knowledge I didnt even have prior on whats the best way to position yourself when behind the wheel and she always checked to see what I learned from the instructor she partnered me with named Norman.Norman is a great instructor and motivator which was a huge plus when it came to me driving with him behind the wheel, Noman always gives you constructive criticism which I loved because it helped me understand how far Ive grown learning with him. Norman is great with keeping up with scheduling you and hes always on time ready to help. As long as you speak up and tell him what youre having issues with hes more than willing to help you achieve the goal at hand.Thanks to this whole experience I was able to obtain my licenses in a quick manner and find a huge amount of confidence within myself and my own skills as a new driver on the road. If your looking for a driving school but unsure I highly recommend you choose this one you certainly wont be disappointed with Yessenia or Norman theyre both great instructors.

This is an awesome driving school. My instructor was KATE and she is the nicest person. She gave me confidence in my driving ability and reassured me every step of the way. She was easy to talk to and she has great energy. She was always on time to pick me up and drop me off. Victor took me to my actual driving exam. Hes a very chill person with great energy and upbeat personality. I felt 100% comfortable with him after just meeting. He took me along the entire route that the driving instructor is going to take you on. If your a nervous driver like me this school is the way to go. You will get your license in no time and pick up some easy hacks along the way.

Review №54

Highly recommend. My instructor was Victor. Extremely professional and patient.Day 1- He let me drive first for a while, observed and then pointed out where I went wrong exactly and helped me work on it in the driving class, also covering the basic need to knows. I was far less nervous and more confident after the first class.Day 2- On the day of the road test, I drove in the actual road test route at least 4 or 5 times and Victor made sure I had enough practice rounds before the test.He prepares you well for both the road test and driving after that. Amigo driving school costs less compared to others and u r not being compromised in any way. Value for money.

Ive been driving both automatic and stick shift for about 20 years overseas but since I am a permanent resident in Chicago for 6 years, I decided that it was time to get my US driver license. Recommended by a colleague, I chose Amigo and decided to take the Driving Class plus Road Test combo! Victor set me up with my instructor Oscar, who called me the night before our appointment (very professional!) When we met up the next day, he immediately put me at ease and talked me through what to be expect during the driving test. We drove around for 2 hours and practiced the route that I was going to drive during the test multiple times. Just before the test, he kept reassuring me that I was ready. I was and I nailed the test. Call Amigo! Thanks again!

Review №56

Based on my experience, I would say that Amigo is one of the best driving school in Chicago. Although I literally had no experience in driving, Oscar helped me in getting the license within 1 week. After analyzing your driving, He will always make sure that you end up correcting the mistakes which you make in the process. He really understands where you stand and will patiently teach you on mastering the skills with his easy techniques. If someone really follows on his advice, then I am sure that they will end up with a license in their hands within 7 days even if you have not touched the steering wheel before. If you are now deciding on your driving school, Dont hesitate and go for AMIGO!!

My experience with Amigo, contrary to many one star reviews here, is nothing but positive. My instructor Victor is very professional, patient, and polite.

I have no regrets, this was my biggest investment so far

I was looking for a driving school that was affordable. And I found Amigo Driving School. It was fast and easy process after 2classes Victor the instructor took me to take my drivers test. He even showed me the way the test was going to be and where. We practice it Twice and then went for the test. Thanks to Amigo Driving School and Victor himself I came home with my license. I will recommend this driving school to anyone that need to take out their license and or need to learn how to drive. Victor is a paitent instructor. I had so many questions he was calm and answered all of them. Victor and Amigo Driving School thank you for helping me get my drivers license. You rock...

Review №63

This “school” is very unprofessional. The instructor’s, Miguel, tone is very uncomfortable to the point where it comes off as if he is irritated. His attitude also doesn’t help with making driving enjoyable. During one of our lessons, I didn’t get what he was trying to explain and he made it seem like I was in the wrong for not understanding his bland explanation. He also never showed up for one of the lessons without letting me know and he blamed it on me saying I cancelled when I never did and then confused me with another person. Along with that, I didn’t get taught how to park, which was one of the objectives in the school’s PowerPoint. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. You’re better off learning how to drive with a family member than this place.

Review №64

After putting almost 9 months out without any rush to get my license, I felt like I had to before my permit would expire. I searched a few driving schools and this driving school caught my eye first because of the great reviews about Victor!I would like to thank Victor for helping me so much, I wouldnt have passed my road test without your skills and knowledge about driving. Victor creates a relaxed stress free environment where he will go thru the basics of driving and will question/remind you so that those info wont be forgotten. And if that didnt help, he breaks driving situations/scenarios even more simpler w/ use of metaphors so that it just click more. Its really common sense and tho at times we may forget and freeze up, hes always there to guide you and teach you the right way w/ tips! Repetition is key!He is very individualized in his teaching, wherein after teaching the basics, he will ask what you think you want to brush up on. And no one wants a serious driving instructor and Victor is the opposite, he makes it fun and gets to know you making driving less tense! He is flexible if time allows if he doesnt have a class before or after. Also, if he knows youre ready, he will let you know so that you dont take any more additional classes which happened with me as I passed my road test w/ 3 driving sessions!Today as I passed my road test! Before we took it, we practiced a few times around the SoS and he continued to coach me til I felt relaxed and ready. Thank you Victor for everything! Good luck with Amigo!

I learned how to drive from Kate. She has all the qualities for being the best instructor in town. She was extremely patient with me and helped me with all the areas I needed a lot of help on without getting frustrated. It was very clear to me on day 2 that money is the least important thing to Amigo, and that the only thing that mattered to them was to help me get my drivers license the right way. Their classes are affordable and Kate was very flexible with her timings. On the phone, Victor sounded very relatable and I could tell that he does not run Amigo as a commercialized driving school, but as one that cares about his students. I would totally recommend Amigo to anyone, young or old.

Never would I imagine that their customer service would be outstanding. From the very first class, I began to build confidence. I learned how to drive in only 7 hours and had my License in under a week. I passed on the first try! I highly recommend Victor as your instructor and Amigo as your choice

I had the best experience today was Yessi! I was completely nervous for the road exam but she was a great instructor that helped calm my nerves and taught me everything I needed to pass! After 2 hours of practicing together, I easily passed the road test. I would highly recommend classes with Yessi. She is very sweet and will make this a great experience for you. Thanks Yessi!!!

I took the Ultimate beginner class for 10 hrs and was able to get my license in first attempt. The trainer was good and my overall experience was worth my time and resources.

Zero stars. My instructor Alex was ALWAYS late 15-20 min. Fell asleep twice while I was driving on a main road hed be texting. Gave no constructive feedback. Wasted my money and time I would not recommend this place to anyone. I paid for the package to cover driving on the highway which we didnt do. Barely covered parking. At the end of the day I still dont know how to drive safely or how to park. This place is useless. Stay away.

ZERO STARS!!!! AVOID THIS COMPANY!!!! I wont even recommend this company to my worst enemy.. they are thieves.. Alex the instructor is ALWAYS late!!!! 20-40 min late and he will drop you off early.. he likes to shortchanged his students.. what a joke of an instructor.. didnt learn a thing from him coz he is ALWAYS sleeping and snoring while I was driving.. tried to voice my concern to Miguel the owner and instead of investigating he just keep on yelling and defending his incompetent driver!!!!! PLEASE EVERYONE AVOID THIS DRIVING SCHOOL!!!!

Brian was great instructor. I have never driven before, and i got my licnece only after 10 hours of driving with him. Just listen to him careful and you will learn a lot of tips and tricks.

I am 83 years old recovering from hip surgery and had not taken a driving test in 4 years. Amigo picked me up at my home in the village of Summit at 6am drove me to Melrose Park DMV took to route they use to test drivers. I drove the route 3 times and told me what questions I could expect from tester.I passed the test easily and it was because of Amigo driving schools method of instruction that helped me.

Got a different instructer almost on all lessons which made it inconsistent and their styles were different. If your just looking for a lesson or 2 this may be your place if not you may want to find another school.

Horrible driving school. Avoid at all cost! They shouldnt be teaching people how to drive because they do not care for the students safety and others. Alex is always late every session and keep falling asleep. Zero stars
