1-2-3 Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Took my road test with Stephen today. He is incredibly friendly, informative, and professional. His calm demeanor and method for administering the test helped me completely forget being nervous. On top of this, the staff helped me submit the required paperwork to receive my license without having to visit DPS. The website has two YouTube videos which detail the skills tested and road test route so you can prepare prior to attempting. I highly recommend 1-2-3 Driving School.

Fantastic experience: THE BEST driving school in DALLAS! Stephen is very sweet and attentive! Felt like i was driving with an older brother in the vehicle lol, the process was very smooth and easy. I hated going to the DMV, I failed my exam 2 times with them, they were so rude as well I had to drive very far out of Dallas for the closest appointment and it would be frustrated and I would still FAIL. Customer service was 10 out of 10, I recommend anyone of any age to come get your license with Stephen. Shout out to the 2 front desk ladies Mayra and Elizabeth muchas gracias!! I AM FINALLY LICENSED

Starting, When you go to the site, Everything is simple and clear. Then you can call and they will explain your steps in detail. The instructors are caring and attentive, they will explain everything and show you the exam. I took the exam here. Now my son has gone to study at the same school. He has already passed the Theory test and received a temporary license. Now he can't wait to start driving with an instructor. I definitely recommend this school. And please, don't spare money to take the exam here. It's quite cheap. But you'll do it calmly and in good company. I have only the most pleasant impressions. I wish your school prosperity.

Fantastic experience: i recommend Stephen he’s a great friend he makes you feel like your his brother he’s so friendly and sweet he always has a positive energy he made me feel like i wasn’t even taking a road test if you want that book an appointment with him (:
Fantastic experience: I would 110% recommend you either take your driving test here or do courses as I am sure they would be just as great. I got to take my driving exam with Stephen. I watched the videos to prepare for it since i was so nervous but he made it so comfortable and easy. It was like driving around with a friend. I was super cool and gave clean directions of what he was looking for and throughout the test. I came across this school on pure accident but I am nonetheless great I did. Stephen is the best definitely book here!
Fantastic experience: Steven made the experience 10x better and was very compassionate! He cares very much about his students. It was an awesome experience and I highly recommend it!

Once I passed it felt like such a relief and all the staff including Stephen congratulated me and just created an overall great experience for something that can be nerve wrecking.
Fantastic experience: No words can express how grateful I am to have Stephen as my instructor! I was a bit nervous but Stephen did a phenomenal job putting my nerves at ease ! I spent all week watching the videos on their website over and over again. I 100% recommend this school…such great customer service as well.

Fantastic experience: This driving school is a life saver and well worth the money! Dmv is a stressful process. But 123 driving school is nice, they treat the new driver like a person not just a number. And the atmosphere is calming. Stephen is very professional, by the book, and relatable to the new drivers. The front desk ladies are very nice and explain everything. 1000 stars if I could!!
Fantastic experience: Great service and good team. Make you feel comfortable before the test. Clear instructions. Definitely glad i chose them
Fantastic experience: Very simple and easy test. Stephen was my instructor and he was really sweet and kind.
Fantastic experience: BEST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER! My entire experience with 1-2-3 Driving School has been the easiest and most pleasant compared to any other driving school I have ever encountered. For starters, I was struggling to make an appointment at the DMV to have my Driver's License Test done but after finding out I can take my driving test at a Driving School I stumbled upon this one! Making an appointment through their website was extremely easy and helpful. I was able to take my driving test that exact same day! When It was time for me to call their front desk to confirm my appointment the employee on the line was extremely friendly and professional; even from just hearing their energy and kindness through the phone I already felt more comfortable reaching out to them. Upon entering the location, I was greeted by the Front Desk and was helped every step of the way. Meeting Stephen was like having a breath of fresh air! His personality, professionalism and encouragement definitely helped my nervousness! He was extremely clear and it's as if he knew exactly what you needed to hear and when you needed to hear it. Due to bad past experiences with other driving schools, I was a bit nervous, but Stephen really knows what he's doing and trusting him and this Driving School has been one of the best decisions I've made. I wished I would've found this driving school many years ago! To make this entire experience even better, Stephen also turned out to be an excellent Spanish speaker! Although I didn't take any driving lessons here, even just coming here to take my driving test was a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this Driving School! If you're currently looking for a driving school whether it's for you or someone you may know, look no further! Once again, Thank you 1-2-3 Driving School for being this awesome! Keep up the great work! - Nathalie Daniella S.
Fantastic experience: Actually this place is a good place to take your driving Test or lessons I did a driving Test here. My instructor Stephen Gates is a very friendly and kind person. I will recommend this place to anyone who needs to take a driving test.
Fantastic experience: Dude Stephen is amazing, Had my kid very relaxed and comfortable on the road. Kid passed with flying colors and smile on his face. WE LOVE YOU STEPHEN!
Fantastic experience: I had a hard time getting into the DPS for a road test, so at the direction of a wonderful woman named Barbara at the McKinney DPS, I booked an appointment for a road test with Stephen. He was incredibly personable and set the expectations clearly, without making me feel more anxious or nervous. He described his role as an encouraging big brother, and I would agree with that sentiment. I think the price is fair, and the scoring was incredibly fair. I passed, but there were a few things I wasn’t scored perfectly on. Stephen went on to explain the points I missed, and he did it in a way that made me reflect and go on to be an even more cautious driver with my license. I recommend booking with him 1000000% if you have any anxiety around testing. I’ve put off my license because I have never tested well, I get too nervous. I would think that even if you didn’t pass your first round, Stephen would rally around for you and give you the tools to make you a better driver and help you pass the next time. He seems like such a great human!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended! I have completed my road test there and the instructor Stephen is a great guy. He will ensure to make you at ease and keep it very calm all the way.
Fantastic experience: We were there yesterday afternoon for the road test, the services was great, everyone was polite and very professional. You can use your own car or theirs. Steven was awesome, he also speaks several languages. We really recommend this place, stress free, professional and quick. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Initially had my 1st test with Stephen, although I didn't pass. I was truly grateful for his calm and reassuring demeanor prior and during the exam. Took the 2nd test try with Larry as it fit my schedule the best. I passed! Larry was also great, although he was definitely more direct with the rules and standards. He also complimented my driving during the test, which truly gave me confidence to finish strong and ultimately pass in the end!
Fantastic experience: Soooo much better than parent taught! We loved Stephen for in-car driving lessons and for the road test! He's so nice and encouraging while giving great instruction. For the road test there's even a video showing the exact route. The online classroom portion is so-so, but just as good as other options and gets the job done.
Fantastic experience: The driver instructor Stephen was professional, nice, patient and very understanding. I arrived late and they were still able to fit me in. I highly recommend this place to everyone! (He also was kind enough to ask for my preferred name felt completely safe and comfortable)
Fantastic experience: Stephen was so kind and helpful! I went in so anxious and he made sure I was comfortable before we got started! All the staff members are very kind and reassuring! 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: The place is great. Very nice, punctual and overall kind people. Stephen was the instructor is a very nice and respectful person, very professional. I highly recommend this driving school to learn and take the driving exams!!!!
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this place ! Please take the 7 drive lesson . I am 22 years old ! I was in a time crunch because I need to drive for my graduate program . My graduate program started in Two weeks . They made time frame and adjustments for me . Plus all the driver instructors were so nice ! They were so calm and kind ! Also I would the last lesson is basically the test . No matter what age or skill level they can help you get your license !!!
Fantastic experience: AWESOMMEE!! Just took my test and passed :) Stephen was the best-- all the reviews are correct hehe, I was even recommended to him and this school in general Despite preparing ahead of time and watching the test route videos, I was feeling anxious and they easily went away after meeting Stephen. He was very nice and calm the whole time, and he gave clear directions and would repeat them. (which oddly calmed me more) I am grateful having him as the person to tell me that I passed, tysm!
Negative experience: I had a terrible experience with this driving school. The instructors failed me repeatedly, even though I was following their instructions and driving safely. I have taken a drive test twice in here and failed both the times.They give all stupid reasons for failing. They insist to pay for the third one immediately i feel like they are just trying to make money.
We are saddened to see that you're upset with the tests you were given. We are licensed by DPS and must follow all guidelines provided by the state. We want all of our customers to know that we never insist you pay immediately for a third test. That is simply not true. As for your tests, you failed your first test for not yielding to a pedestrian and losing complete control of the car. With the conclusion of your first test, you and your aunt were told as transparent as possible your need for more experience and practice on the road and we were told by your aunt that you had little experience driving in America as you had just recently moved here. For your second test, you scored below a 70 as your position for both stops signs was past the stop sign in terms of your position, failed to observe in crucial points on the test and you missed a lot of control points on the test in terms of your control of the vehicle and position. Lastly, we are one of the only schools in the DFW area that offers a free second attempt on your driving test.
Fantastic experience: what can I say? Stephen was awesome throughout the whole process. I took both my twin sons there. The entire staff from front office (Diego) to the testing instructor (Stephen) made us feel comfortable and at ease. Strongly recommend this school for all your driving needs. Stephen is the consummate professional.
Fantastic experience: I love our visits to 123 Driving school. All the instructors are pleasantly nice and courteous professionals that worked patiently with us and really want their students to succeed. The instructional videos that is offered on their website helped prepared us for the road test and set proper expectations. I would definitely recommend this school over Ideal Driving School in Plano!
Fantastic experience: My son did his test last Tuesday and passed the test .Stephen is on every question from the first minute, very quick responses and answers, I would give him 200% as a customer service representative.
Fantastic experience: Great driving center. Took my test here and it was straightforward and efficient. Stephen was really nice and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend this driving location. The staff are friendly and welcoming from the time you walk in until the time you leave. Stephen was my driver instructor and he understood my nervousness and reassurances me the rules, and creating an environment for me to fully focus on my test and not the nervousness of the instructor. I think he is the best and you should keep him in all the driving courses because he’s a great experience. I appreciated the outstanding customer service he provided. Once I passed it felt more like a celebration and all the staff including Stephen congratulated me and just created an overall great experience. I’ve already told sooo many people about this location!! Thank you for everything 1-2-3 Driving you rock solid!!
Fantastic experience: Thank you all. The entire staff was very professional, helpful and kind. Because of my work schedule I was unable to take my driving test at the DMV. I contacted 123 driving school and I was able to schedule my test the next day. Thank you Stephen for making the driving test as comfortable as possible. You truly are an amazing person.
Fantastic experience: I took some driving classes here , process was hassle free, my instructors were patient and offered me a lot of tips they really make steps simple from turns to parking. Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Everyone was friendly. Instructor was clear about the expectations of the test and gave both positive feedback and areas where I could improve. It's worth the money to avoid having to take the test at the DPS because as we all know even getting in the door there is a hassle. This place was great, 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: 1-2-3 Driving School has an online course for your adult drivers education that is not only proficient in knowledge, but also CHEAP, and quick and easy to take as long as you pay attention. You can print out your ADE certificate and hold a permit from the Department of Public Safety (like I did) for three business days before taking your road test here, too, as it’s a DPS approved Third-Party-Testing location. The driving school allowed me to practice for the road test at the location, so I was considerate of the other examinees and the regulations while practicing my parallel parking. I passed my road test on my first try since I did stress a lot on my practice, although I was a bit nervous, but kudos to Stephen as my examiner! Taking into account scheduling conflicts from DPS appointments, illness, and funerals, I was able to complete all steps towards succeeding on my road test and getting a drivers license in exactly 7 days. Although my review is a bit later than I intended to post it, I wanted to share my personal experience with this great driving school as quickly as I could because it’s a very convenient, supportive, and educated institute as long as you also extend polite manners and an understanding perspective. As a last note, I never had any trouble in communications with their Call Support, nor the front desk in the actual building; those I met were very lovely people, and I had the pleasure of conversing with them on my wait time! (I do have some proof shots but after a lot of thinking I decided not to post them. I was going to try for a professional attitude and add them, but it’s 3AM and my shyness and still lingering fever overtook that decision. So if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes, really sorry, and thank you for reading my review!)
Fantastic experience: After taking my road test today with Stephen, I now understand why there are so many 5-star reviews that specifically mention his name. I get test anxiety, which Stephen picked up on immediately and offset my nervousness with his calm, gentle demeanor. He checked multiple times to see if I had any questions, gave clear, concise instructions, and made the road test as stress-free as possible. He’s the type of human being you’re glad you met. I cannot find a single negative thing to say about my experience with 1-2-3 Driving school. It was a simple process to schedule my appointment, provide payment (even got a $10 discount for paying in advance), and their website is easy to navigate and full of resources. 10/10 would recommend them!
Fantastic experience: Stephen is an awesome! He makes you feel comfortable and tells you everything you need to know before the test!
Fantastic experience: I came here with a little nerves, and that ended when I walked in and was met with kindness and great hospitality by the front desk and instructor Stephen was AMAZING, really cool guy and just down to earth amazing person; he made everything very calm and comfortable, making sure I was all set before the test. Not only that he was very chill and helpful with everything. Really do recommend him and if you a have chance please set you’re appointment with him he’s and amazing person and just an overall chad.
Fantastic experience: My young person took his driver’s test back on Feb 24th. He was so nervous but Stephen (tester) made him feel safe. He just so happened to pass first try. Stephen answered all of my questions and had great customer service. As for the 2 people at the front desk - Diego and the young lady had great customer service and was sweet.
Fantastic experience: Took my parents in for their DL road test. Def recommend - Stephen was very easy to talk to and made sure my parents were not stressed during the test. All instructions were given slowly and clearly. This was huge for someone like my parents who doesnt speak/understand English well. Thank you Stephen! The youtube videos on the website are extremely helpful, as you can see the exact route of the road test. We watched the videos and practiced on the same route a few times before the test, just to get comfortable with driving in the surrounding areas.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous to take my driving test on top of getting in a wreck on the way there!… Stephen my instructor was absolutely amazing and helped me calm down and be comfortable before taking my test! Very friendly staff and I highly recommend this place!! Again, Stephen was an amazing instructor!!!!
Fantastic experience: I just took my road test this morning and I passed. I was so nervous but Stephen was the best. He helped me calm down and reassured me. I would recommend this place 100%
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend 1-2-3 Driving School for the DPS road test. The office staff is very helpful in answering all questions about the exam. I was also able to use their vehicle since I did not have one. Stephen was my instructor and he was very friendly and informative. He really put me at ease during the exam and made sure it was a comfortable environment.
Fantastic experience: I would like to give a huge thanks to the whole 1-2-3 Driving School staff. Instructor Stephen was a great teacher who made me feel calm despite being anxious. Both receptionists were also great and helped me take care of any problems I had.
Fantastic experience: I took my driving test at 1-2-3 Driving School with instructor Steven. Steven and the office staff were friendly and helpful from beginning to end. Steven was an excellent instructor, friendly, informative, and put me at ease during my test. For anyone looking to get their drivers license, teenager or adult, I recommend 1-2-3 driving school.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend doing test, or lessons here. All the staff are absolutely amazing. Hassle and STRESS FREE process. Thank you Stephen for taking the time to make everything a breeze, and reminder to breathe and relax.
Fantastic experience: Took my driving test here with Stephen and had a wonderful time, he was very patient, sociable, and kind! Would 100% recommend!!
Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience using this school for the 3rd party driving test. Stephen explained every step and was encouraging throughout. I would absolutely recommend him as your testing instructor for new drivers!
Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience with Stephen for the road test today!! I took my mom to 123 Driving School for the road test. Initially, we were worried about my mom since she doesn’t speak English well, but we immediately dropped this concern after communicating with Stephen. He is so patient and considerate of speaking words by words to my mom so that she understands all the instructions. I also want to give a shout-out to the staff at the front desk. We felt super welcome and respected. Any questions we had were answered by them very professionally. I highly recommend 123 Driving School! The best driving school!
Fantastic experience: The best place related to driving!!! Instructor Stephen super great. I'm so happy we have 1-2-3 Driving School!.
Fantastic experience: Stephen is an awesome coach! My mom passed her road test today at 1-2-3, Stephen is very patient and nice, my mom doesn’t speak much English and he tried to communicate with her slowly and made sure my mom understood the instruction. Reception staff is also very nice at 1-2-3 driving school, they helped my mom with the enrollment of the exam. The whole process is stress free, professional and positive! On their website, the driving test instructions are well laid out and easy to follow. My mom watched the two videos guidance which helped her a lot during the test. We would highly recommend this school and especially Coach Stephen!! The best!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Stephen is a good tester and very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
Negative experience: this place failed my niece 3 times including the third attempt where she turned from a left lane onto the left and Larry the examiner told her to stay on the far right which is WRONG! after taking not 1 but TWO packages for driving lessons, + hours of practice. they’ll fail you and dock points for the smallest errors AFTER the instructors have graded you well on your lessons & insisted readiness. 1st attempt with stephen- only failed the driving test for hitting the pole during parallel parking. passed on everything else. 2nd attempt with stephen- failed for turning too slow & lots of other “errors”. 3rd attempt with larry- ASKED my niece if she had any questions in which she asked about turn signals, he told her she should already know about that, and she explained to him that she because dan told her they weren’t required, and larry scolded at her to stop arguing with him & blaming everyone else for her own mistakes. THEN proceeded to storm into the building embarrassing her in front of all the staff & guests instead of privately discussing with her father that she’s “A danger to everyone” and “doesn’t know what she’s doing”. This is the treatment she gets after spending so much time & money with this place?? Very unprofessional and impatient environment. Save your $$ they’re just looking to make money off of you. I recommend Ideal Driving School if you’re in the area as we transferred to there and she passed on the first try for a much cheaper and respectful price
Negative experience: Larry does an excellent job on triggering people anxiety by purposely calling out a young persons mistakes out loud purposely embarrassing them in front of everyone so they can hear instead of talking privately! Also GREAT job on being very unprofessional. Aggressively mistakens simple questions and misunderstandings as attitude and disrespect instead he is the one giving attitude and disrespect ; exactly how to make someone feel terrible about themselves. If you are willing to teach, you should know how to talk to young people and be aware that some people can have very bad anxiety. You should always watch what you say and know how to properly critique without embarrassing the person that made mistakes, ESPECIALLY just straight up out loud saying every mistake the driver made and saying very very unnecessary things. This is because this can make the person overthink and prone to have an anxiety attack. This is because minutes later I had an anxiety attack because of this. You need to know how to treat people in a respectful way no matter if you are working especially with younger people. Do not go to larry if you are prone to anxiety attacks. He does a great job on triggering that. Doesn’t know how to treat people properly AT ALL
Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing experience taking my test here. Not only are they welcoming, friendly and make you feel safe; they explain everything to you so you’re not guessing what the test will be like. On their website they list what will be expected of you, they have tutorials AND a how-to of the actual test route. As a British person who learnt on the ‘other side of the road’ I’m glad I chose this school for my road test here in Dallas! Thank you 1-2-3 Driving School!
Fantastic experience: The instructer was very nice and helpful by giving positive feedback at the end and being very nice teacher overall. Definitely recommend this place for the driving test.
Fantastic experience: Stephen was my instructor for the test and lesson, and he was phenomenal! Passed on my first time!! He was patient and very helpful, thank you Stephen for those encouraging words you gave to me. I’m so thankful I chose 123 Driving School and I highly recommend it for testing, practice lessons, etc.
Fantastic experience: If you are a new immigrant like me, 1-2-3 driving school offers driving lessons per hour that would definitely help you Ace your road test! I was so lucky I was referred to their school - the staffs were great! Special mention to my examiner STEPHEN! He was so nice and SUPER CHILL! Btw. They also offer the 6hr lecture course that is a pre requisite to get a learner’s permit/driver’s license.
Fantastic experience: This is a five star driving school. These people really care about you and your safety while having the patience to teach you or your teenagers or young adults to drive or parallel park. My son got his license on last week and I appreciate his instructor. The gentleman was very engaging and spent an hour or so with my son in teaching him the right techniques for the road. If you know anyone who needs their license or help with learning how to drive or parallel park this is my top recommendation for sure . Thank you 123 Drive school .
Fantastic experience: My partner and I completed the road test together, and the examiner Stephen was very nice and patient. At the same time, he was also very humorous! My child was amused by him and laughed heartily! This driving school is really great!!
Fantastic experience: I recently had the privilege of learning how to drive at 123 Driving School, and it was an absolutely remarkable experience, largely thanks to my instructor, Stephen. He was more than just an instructor; he was a guide and a mentor who patiently helped me navigate the complexities of driving. Stephen's approach to teaching was exceptional – he combined patience with expertise, making each lesson not only educational but also enjoyable. His ability to explain things in an easily understandable manner made a significant difference, especially when I struggled with certain aspects of driving. The patience he showed in guiding me through each step, correcting my mistakes, and encouraging me to keep trying was truly commendable. Every session with him was filled with valuable learning and practical advice, making me feel more confident and comfortable behind the wheel. I am immensely grateful for all the help Stephen provided and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive.
