Really a wonderful experience all around. Great communication with both students and parents a like. Detailed reports. Kids leave each session knowing exactly what to work on. Every instructor was friendly and knowledgeable. Being able to take the state test here as well was an amazing and rewarding experience for my daughter. Still nervous but nothing as to what Im sure a DMV employee would have made her feel. Great company. Very glad we chose Top Driver.

Great experience with Top Driver Crystal Lake. In fact any communication needed via calling the 800 number or emailing, all personnel have been wonderful! So many great instructors - Nichole, Pete, Mikenna, and Gary to name a few. Absolutely worth every penny.

We could not have been happier with our Top Driver experience! The classroom lessons are presented in a very organized way, and our sons behind the wheel lessons with Mr. Graham were fantastic. He has an amazing ability to relate to new drivers in order to make them comfortable and confident, while providing feedback in a positive and constructive way. We also really appreciated the option of taking the road test through Top Driver instead of the DMV.

Outstanding service very happy with the instruction you guys gave my daughter on the privilege of driving. Test instructor for Crystal lake is outstanding person really does a great job of grading appropriately. Top notch thanks 😊

Top Driver in Crystal Lake did a great job preparing my daughter for her license. They were very easy to work with through the crazy mess of Covid. Garry even went out of his way to road test my daughter around her schedule. Highly recommend this driving school!

Gary in Crystal Lake is the best! Very knowledgeable, great teacher and very patient. My daughter had him as an instructor 6 years ago and my son just completed his lessons. Would highly recommend.

Top Driver Crystal Lake is Great! My son had a few instructors but really did well with Garry. The customer service line was always ready with an answer for my questions and its a simple process to book lessons. We even did the Road Test with them, super simple process. Highly recommend.

We appreciate Top Driver and the organized manner they present their classes and offerings - you can now complete your road test with them! An additional fee yes; completely worth it for many reasons, yes... no long DMV wait and the comfort of an instructor you trust. Our favorite instructor (Garry) gave our child feedback in a relatable way, making him feel confident and in turn he was comfortable and was able to soak in the knowledge being shared. You have a great way with teaching!! We are so glad to have had the opportunity to learn from you!

I just had my 3rd child get her drivers license after attending Top Driver in Crystal Lake. Their instruction was excellent and I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to provide their child with an exceptional drivers education. My kids were especially fond of instructor Garry Graham, who combines just the right amount of instruction and candor to keep them relaxed but confident behind the wheel. One of the only positive things to come out of the pandemic was that the state now allows the driving schools to issue the written and driving tests. While you have to pay a little extra, it is so worth it to get the driving test out of the way before the day you go get the actual license (although full disclosure, the DMV can still issue random driving tests). We were in and out of the DMV in 10 minutes! I highly recommend Top Driver!

My daughter took classes for her license at the Crystal Lake location in the summer of 2020.She completed the whole program and we waited for her 16th Birthday so she could get her license. I called Top Driver in April to set up an appointment for her behind the wheel. They tell me that she never sent her grades in to Springfield. Ok....had I never called months after her classes I never would have known about this issue at all but I said ok lets do that now. We physically took the papers to the school and had them signed and then physically took them to Top Driver to be sent to Springfield. This was 2 months ago. I called again.. They were still booked all summer in the Chicagoland area locations but the lady assured me I was good to go to schedule for a far away location in July for $78 or I can go to the DMV. I specifically asked about all documents being completed. She was good to go.Here we are 2 months and later and 5 hours of nonsense at the DMV only to find out they never sent in the paperwork for her grades to Springfield. We wasted a day off work and her sports camp we paid for to get her license today. Their communication is HORRIBLE. I just heard of another family that went through this here. I went to the school and was asked to leave. They will take your money and they are done with you.

Can’t say enough about Top Driver! Supportive, knowledgeable instructors and adapted to online life quickly due to Covid. Didn’t miss a beat!

Great driving school! Gary is a great instructor!

Excellent instructors...especially Garry Graham. Timely and clear communication. Efficient process overall. Highly recommend!

Our daughter had a great experience with top driver. Nicole was a supportive and patient teacher. We will definitely request her for our next top driver student.

My daughter was part of the ADHD program in Crystal Lake. It was amazing on how her anxiety was not an issue because her instructor, in the classroom and behind the wheel , Gary was incredible with her. He was so patient with her and made her feel comfortable behind the wheel. She is a great driver now.

My daughter had a great instructor for this class, and for behind the wheel as well. She did very well with the way they taught her and she had no complaints about the program. I was very pleased with the outcome.

Top Driver has been a great experience for us! I would highly recommend Top Driver to help your teen with their driving lessons. The classroom time was very valuable and we really appreciated the individual attention and convenience of having the instructors come by the house to pick up our son! We found Gary Graham to be an excellent teacher, not only in the classroom but on the road as well. He has great patience and a calming demeanor which we found to be extra helpful! You will not regret using Top Driver!

Our sons experience in the classroom and with all of the driving instructors has been amazing. Specifically, driving time with instructor Garry was invaluable. Because of Garrys patience, encouragement and skilled instruction our son grew to be a safe and very confident driver. Thank you!

Top Driver is amazing! My teacher Garry is polite, patient, and very caring. Unlike other driving schools, Top Driver actually cares about the students and is willing to go out of their way to help the young drivers! They offer great driving tips. Top Driver is the best!

Top Driver was a great experience for my daughter. The teacher was very efficient and tried to make it fun. The driving lessons were good and follow up from teacher really made my child feel warranted.

We had a great experience with Top Driver and would highly recommend it. Our daughter loved the classroom and in-car instruction by Garry while WE loved the convenience of her being picked up at our home when she had the in-vehicle session.

We were very pleased with Top Driver. Did not have any trouble with classes or appointments. They had a large variety of drive times available- seems like as late as 9 pm. Only downfall was that you need to book almost a month in advance. They do give you several months to complete the behind the wheel time, so it really was not an issue.

Gary is the best! Friendly, flexible, and a great teacher.

My daughter had a great experience at Top Driver. She learned so much from her teacher, Gary. Thank you.

Scheduling make ups, behind the wheel, and observations was challenging. Top Driver was difficult to contact, and had limited availability... Will go through the school district with our other two children.

Very good
