Very pleased with our expereience

Brandon and Robert were wonderful instructors. Very patient and encouraging. More scheduling opportunities at the other locations would be helpful, especially during summer months.

Good but scheduling could be easier

Everything was great, except scheduling for the permit test was a month out so we ended up just going to the Pueblo DMV to test earlier (they were only a week out) and behind the wheel scheduling can be a bit of a challenge with limited availability of instructors and times. For some reason the system wouldn't allow me to schedule other nearby behind the wheel sites online so you need to call. It worked out, we got what we needed, just getting those hours in now and will hopefully be able to do the driving test with them.

This is our second time using American Driving Academy and it is just as great as the first student who attended. The staff is great, there were no complaints from the students. And the facility is always clean, and the staff is always attentive to any issues or questions that come up. We have also had to call and they are quick at answering the phones and answer questions in a kind manner.

High Level of Instruction

The level of instruction was really thorough and professional. Dan was also very encouraging with my son which helped build his confidence behind the wheel. There was also a really good communication about reminding us when his schedule drives were.

Great classroom and driving experiences. Their website and scheduling are not intuitive and a real PIA.
