South Bay Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had three lessons with South Bay Driving School and was able to pass my behind the wheel test on my first attempt. I had a great experience with my instructor, Rocky. I am generally a very unsociable and nervous person, but I felt at ease with Rocky. Rocky was very calm and patient while also giving good constructive criticism. He is very knowledgeable about the criteria and routes for the DMV driving test and gave me very specific advice. He also took my request to try driving on the freeway even though that wouldn't be on the driving test.
Thank you ! Rocky is a wonderful teacher! Good luck for your Drive Test.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test through training with South Bay Driving School! Alfred was super knowledgeable, patient, and gave great constructive feedback. Highly recommend!
Congratulations! Thank you! Drive Safely!
Fantastic experience: I loved going through the training with South Bay Driving School. They were very helpful in setting up the sessions and are very friendly to work with. My lessons with Nina Davar were awesome! She’s very patient and gives good constructive feedback. She made me feel comfortable driving and gave me good tips for the driving test.
Thank you! We loved having you as a student. Keep practicing!
Fantastic experience: We used SBDS for all 3 of my kids and the instructors were great. Rosie and Rocky went above and beyond to help them and were so patient and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Thank you! We appreciate your business!

Fantastic experience: I just passed my drivers test first try, and I couldn’t have done it without Nat! She is such an amazing instructor and all around amazing person:) I would highly suggest requesting her! No matter what DMV you go to, she will give you all the tricks and tips you need to succeed
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful and kind passed my test a week after Definitely recommended
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My sister and I's driving instructor Destiny was absolutely amazing! She made us feel super comfy behind the wheel and understand the importance of driver safety. Her continuous positive energy was relaxing and her tips genuinely made us feel like we were ready for the test. Thank you Destiny!
Thank you! So happy you have learned safe driving!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! We have used South Bay Driving School for 2 of my 3 sons now and will definitely be using them again in a couple more years when my youngest is ready. Rocky was our instructor and he is super patient and also went above and beyond! SB Driving School does a great job of sending text and email reminders of upcoming coming reminders and Rocky was always on time (early actually) for each appointment (I also love that they drop off and pick up which made planning much easier with my work schedule). Aside from teaching the basics, they also review what is on the driving test and will drive you around the DMV location to help you prep for the test (and on the freeway even though it’s not part of the test).
Thank you for the Great review. Good Luck on your TEST!
Fantastic experience: The instructors here are very nice and informative!! I had two instructors, Rosie Salas and Gabriel Rivas, and both of them are extremely good instructors. They both put a lot of thought and effort into their instructions and make sure to cover both general driving and the driving test. I just passed my driving test first try with the help of this driving school and these two instructors!!!
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Rocky is best best teacher. I had 3 lessons and passed my driving test in one try. Thank you Rocky and South Bay Driving School. ☺️☺️

Congratulations! Be SAFE! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The instruction here is absolutely amazing ! I had Alfred, Destiny, and Nat as coaches and I am so glad I did. Alfred was always so easy to talk to, kind, and a great mentor for me. He taught me all the basics with great patience and I am so very thankful for him. Destiny was super genuine, chill, and a blast to talk to and learn from. She helped me tremendously in excelling and pushing my driving skills to the next level. I am going to miss her fun stories and conversations. I also had the great privilege of learning from Nat, who helped me so much in preparing me and overcoming my nerves for the driving test. Her energy and enthusiasm was so infectious and I am so glad to have improved my skills even further with her guidance!
Congratulations! Thank you for all you have said. Good luck with your driving!
Fantastic experience: I had Nat as my driving teacher and she was the best! Super nice and helped me learn very well! Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had 3 lessons with Rocky and he was an incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and supportive instructor! Highly recommend this school and this instructor.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: Alfred was very helpful during my last driving lesson. thank you!!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Can’t say enough how great Alfred was as an instructor. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed every driving lesson up to me getting my license. I recommend having Alfred as your instructor he’s the best teacher anyone could ask for.
Congratulations! You worked hard for that! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Rocky was an amazing driving instructor. He was very calm with his instructions and was amazing at giving lessons. Take your driving lessons with Rocky he will get you your license.
Congratulations on Passing Your Drive Test! Thank you!
Negative experience: This driving school is an absolute joke. We bought a package of 3. The first lesson nobody turned up and my son sat and waited and waited and waited. Finally we called them to tell them the driver didn’t turn up. They said oh she was in a driving accident (which is alarming from a driving instructor but accidents happen) the driver was ok but they never called to tell us. So we rescheduled. The next lesson the driver turned up 45 mins late and then I kid you not got my son to run around her errands!! Then through the drive through to get her food!!! The next lesson. You guessed it - didn’t show up again! This time when we called they weren’t even aware their driver didn’t show up. After that we were done. Booked with EZ street driving. Much better. Trust me, save the stress and book any other driving school.
First I want to apologize if any of this happened. Since you don't tell us who the student is I can't make amends for the service. I have no one with the last name HILL since February so it looks like it was a while ago, if it happened. We don't have no show instructors without knowing who and why. If an instructor didn't show up we would be aware of it and reschedule a lesson. Taking a student on errands is not something we would approve for a lesson and if you'd called us then we would have fixed that problem then. As a driving school, we try to give the best service we can. Without any information from the customers letting us know who is doing these things on a lesson, we can't help you. I'm sorry if this happened. I hope in the future we can serve anyone better than we may have done for you.
Fantastic experience: South bay driving school is amazing. I had Rocky as my instructor and he is just the best. Very encouraging, super nice, and overall a good person. We had great talks while driving and got to know him. He is very helpful. When i made mistakes he explained exactly what i did in a nice and calm manner.
Thank you! Good Luck On Your Test!
Fantastic experience: South Bay Driving School stuff were very professional and accommodating. The drivers came on time and extremely helpful. Rocky and Alfred were both amazing instructors.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: the instructors at south bay were amazing. I had been with Rocky for 5 sessions and he was able to really drill his lessons into my memory while also being really fun at the same time. I had only been with Alfred once, but his calm and collected way of communicating was exceptional. Both are 5 star instuctors.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Alfred was a great instructor at South Bay Driving school. Very kind and calm and gave great advice and instructions on what to do. Highly recommend him to help you learn how to drive or touch up on driving.
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My instructor Rosie was phenomenal and I had such a great time with her and passed my drivers test first try!!
Congratulations! Drive Safe! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: 06/28/2024 My daughter just completed her 3 day behind the wheel training with Nat (trainer) and her experience with her was top notch! Nat, was patient, knowledgeable and fun to work with. When I met Nat, she expressed a passion for the work she is providing to our younger generation. Also, thank you to the office staff for their professionalism! Great experience with South Bay Driving School. I hope Nat is further compensated for excellent services.
Thank you! We appreciate the review!
Fantastic experience: Thanks for Nat’s help, I was able to know understand the parts that i didn’t know from the written test and main rules. So I was able to pass that test with no fear. She also taught me the important part for the written test and also taught the important part for the driving test. Thank you so much Nat!
Congratulations on passing both tests! Good Luck Driving! Drive Safe!
Fantastic experience: Thanks to Gabriel, I was able to confidently pass my driving test. His constructive feedback and calm demeanor made the learning process enjoyable and effective. His teaching style has equipped me with the skills and knowledge needed to navigate the roads fluently. He was always super clear with instructions and patient in explaining difficult concepts. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and supportive driving instructor who truly knows what they’re doing.
Thank you! Gabe is great! Drive Safe! Good Luck on your Drive Test!
Positive experience: My instructor is Rocky. I would said without him I couldn’t pass my drive test. He is very patient and responsible and thorough. He is willing to teach you more even though is over the schedule hours. I took two courses with Rocky. I realized to pass the drive test it’s more important you have a responsible instructor and it save your time and guarantee you can pass the test. I will totally recommend you to take courses with Rocky.
Thank you! Congratulations on Passing your Drive Test!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this driving school! Alfred was an amazing instructor and he always had my back, and always made very clear what I needed to work on in the nicest way possible.

Congratulations! Drive Safely!
Negative experience: The worst of the worst. The first lesson the guy was suppose to turn up at the house and he called asking if we could meet him at Burger King as he didn’t have breakfast. So we tried again and this time they sent a woman who just never showed up. No call… just didn’t show up. So when I called they said oh that’s weird… yeah you’re right the car is still here. Let me see what went on. Never heard back. So we never bothered and went with a different driving school.
Jessica, We do not have you in our system as a student. You have the wrong school if you were the student. We don't let student go like that you are too important to us. Please, contact us and let me know who the instructors were. I don't any students we didn't go pick up or missed right now. I'm the only person answering the phone and I never had a conversation like you described.
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Nat. She always made me feel comfortable and challenged me to try new things with confidence. Because of her after only two sessions I passed and feel like I will now have the ability to learn and grow on my own. Thank you so much.
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Nat and rocky! They were very professional and made me feel comfortable. I passed my behind the wheel test 1st try after my sessions with Nat (2 sessions) and Rocky (1 session)!! Amazing instructors and prepared me well.
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Alfred is the best Driving Teacher! He taught me how to be a good driver and I passed the license test first try because of him!
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: This place is great for helping you learn how to drive properly and pass the driver's test. Specifically, I noticed Ben and Rocky were the best drivers from this place because they are super friendly/chill while also really informative/helpful. I was able to pass the driving test with only 5 errors and I felt confident after taking lessons with this company.
Congratulations! Thank you very much!
Fantastic experience: South Bay Driving School was amazing! All of the instructors were extremely professional and caring. Rocky is especially a superstar teacher, who helped me easily pass my exam with a few sessions. Highly recommend.
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My instructor was Nat and this was my first lesson with her. I went from driving in Australia to California; which means new rules, mph (instead of kph) and on the other side of the road. Nat was extremely compassionate and adjusted her teachings to my scenario. She is very supportive and takes her time explaining each step & rules. She celebrates your wins and works with you on any weakness. She is very intuitive if you are anxious, and will help guide you into your driving experience with ease. I highly recommend her and would recommend her to any of my family/friends.
Thank you! She is great, we agree! Good Luck!
Fantastic experience: Took this course online, highly recommend to anyone to is willing to take a drivers education course!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: This place was absolutely amazing. I will take my test soon. I had the same instructor for all 3 lessons I had, Rocky. Not once was I ever insecure about my driving. He taught me my safety check, corrected my mistakes, reminded me of the rules of the road, and even helped me commute to school. Not once was there any awkwardness between both of us and he made me very calm while driving. He is also a great person to talk to and is very knowledgeable about the road. I've recommended this place to 3 of my friends already. Thank you South Bay Driving!
Thank you! We are happy we can help. Rocky is awesome, we agree! Thank you for the recommendations! Good Luck on your Drive Test!
Fantastic experience: I just wanted to express my gratitude to this school. Nat was my instructor and she was incredibly helpful in preparing me for not just the test but driving beyond that. I really appreciated the extra material she brought with to educate me on the specific scoring categories of the road test. I had never seen the grading sheet before one of our leasons and it gave me some things to forcus on in order to pass. Nat was so patient with me and pushed me to actually commit to scheduling a date for my test. She gave me so much confidence and I couldn't have passed without her help. This school is great
Congratulations! Good Luck! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I was nervous to get lessons, but I am happy I did. My instructor, Nat, was amazing. She was super calm, understanding, and taught me everything I needed to know. I definitely recommend her if you need driving lessons.

Thank You! Renewing a license is his specialty!
Fantastic experience: BEST driving school ever! I easily passed my driving test today! I had the most amazing and helpful instructor Rosie for all my 3 2hr lessons! I remember being so afraid of driving at first. Doing the driving lessons especially with Rosie made all the fear go away! She's very helpful on what to do in certain situations and totally helps you learn to drive (even if you've never been on the road before) which was like me on my first lesson. She made me so confident on the road. I 100% recommend this driving school. (Also, give Rosie a raise she did so well teaching me!!) I'll never forget this driving school as it helped me so much be the great and defensive driver I am with my shiny new drivers license!
Congratulations! Good Luck! Thank you for the great review.
Fantastic experience: This school is the best!! My instructors Alfred, Rosie,Ilyas and Ali were very kind. They taught me rules and details driving skills. Thank you for your support. When I was nervous, they encouraged me. Then I passed the driving test perfect score!! I will be a safe driver.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was Bree, she was amazing. She helped a lot, she answered all my questions and gave me pointers throughout our lessons together. She gave me advice and taught me a lot. We went over everything and at the end of each lesson I got pointer on what to work on. She was very helpful. She is also easy to talk to which helped during the driving lesson. She made sure I am prepared for my behind the wheel driving test. She made sure I worked on everything I needed to in the lessons we had together.

Congratulations! Great job in passing on your first try! Drive safely!
Fantastic experience: An outstanding school. I did not think I was going to be able to drive safely after the first time I tried to drive, but after 6 lessons with Alfred, I was able to pass my behind the wheel test with ease. If everyone took driving lessons with Alfred, the road would be a safer place.
Congratulations! Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: I’m so grateful for my experience with South Bay driving school. I had the pleasure of learning from Bree, Rosie, and Nanthany. I love Bree she was friendly, calm, and dedicated to teaching me . Her energy was exactly what I needed to reduce my anxiety about driving and I learned so much from her. Rosie much like Bree was friendly, punctual, and wanted me to succeed just as much as I did. I really enjoyed my lessons with her and I appreciate her for teaching me. Finally Nanthany, I took my test with her and she was very positive & motivating while at the same time showing me what I need to work on and working with me until I got it. I recommend any of these instructors if you plan on scheduling with South Bay Driving School.
CONGRATULATIONS! I'm so happy you passed! All the hard work paid off. Good luck and drive safe!
Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with Bree to help prepare me for my behind-the-wheel test. Thanks to her I was able to pass my test first go. Also appreciate her for waiting that extra hour at the DMV with me. Thanks Bree! Couldn’t have passed without your help!

Thank you for the review!
Fantastic experience: Rosie is a wonderful instructor. I had very good conversations and she is not afraid to express them. She is a really good teacher in the South Bay driving driving school and helped me in many ways with both venting and the road. It has been a pleasure to be her student and I hope we both can stay in contact. Please give this women a raise!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had Bree as my driving instructor, and it was a really pleasant learning experience, she gave me great tips and advice on what I needed to work on, and I felt really comfortable with her even though I was initially nervous about driving.
Thank you! She is so happy you liked the lesson!
Fantastic experience: Bree was the best instructor at South Bay Driving School. She is a very nice person and I was super comfortable driving with her. She helped me get out my comfort zone and drive on the freeway. Can wait to take my driver test

Fantastic experience: My instructor Albert was an all around friendly and super patient instructor. He helped me to get really comfortable behind the wheel and helped me to pass the driving test on my try! I would highly recommend taking lessons with him!
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The driving school is very professional on booking classes, confirming timing and tracking your progress through scorecard. Alfred is a great instructor. He is patient, encouraging and fun - that truly made me enjoy the learning and driving. I never had driving experiences before but was able to pass the exam for the first time and started driving with confidence in one month. I worked with a few other instructors and the experiences were great too. Highly recommend.
Thank you! Congratulations on Passing your Drive Test! Good luck!
Fantastic experience: South Bay Driving School has been a wonderful experience for me. My instructors were all eager that I learn the abilities I needed to pass the test. It's critical to pay attention to what they're saying because they already know what will be on the test, and all they want is to see you succeed as a driver. My instructors, Alfred and Gabriel, were a key factor in helping me become a more confident and skilled driver. They taught me skills like smooth lane changes, parallel parking, reversing, and pulling into parking spots, all of which helped me pass my driving test on the first try. Without South Bay Driving school I do not think I would have passed the driving test.
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Really recommend south bay driving school! My instructor Ms. Rosie made me feel secure and was very friendly! She was always on time and never made me feel nervous, she taught me a lot and prepared me for my test very well. I was able to pass my behind the wheel test at the DMV today thanks to Rosie!
Congratulations! Good job! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Amazing driving help filled with amazing people, thanks especially to Alfred, super nice guy and I really reccomend!!
Thank you!
Fantastic experience: South Bay Driving School is the best! From my initial phone interaction with the owner and through my 3 driving lessons with the AMAZING instructor, Rosie, I can't say enough great things about my experience. Rosie was on time for every lesson, kind, patient, knowledgeable, and made things light and fun. After those three lessons, I passed my Driving Test at the DMV! I used South Bay Driving School's option to be escorted by their Instructor Alfred, and test in their vehicle. Using this service and having Alfred there to walk me through the process, combined with the skills that Rosie taught me, was the perfect combination! I will definitely recommend Rosie, Alfred, and South Bay Driving School to all of my friends!
Congratulations! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I had a great time with my instructor Rosie! She had a great professional attitude that was still loose enough to keep me level headed. Even with me being new and nervous. I learned A LOT in 2 hours with her. Thank you so much. Would definitely recommend to others!
Great! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: I just completed my instructional driving hours with the instructor Rosie and I couldn't have asked for better mentor to drive with and learn from. I had learned from back in September when I had hardly started to drive and I remember how nervous I was when we began driving. I also remember how easy it was to become comfortable at the wheel instead of fearing it all the time. This most recent lesson wasn't any different, in fact, it was even better since I had already a lot more familiarity with the road. I was still nervous, of course, but Ms. Rosie's amiable and warm personality helped me to just enjoy being able to cruise along streets against the crisp ocean breeze. Despite her friendliness, Ms. Rosie does have a sharp eye for watching on how you drive and corrects it if needed. I wish that more teachers could be as genuinely concerned about how students learn(?) and encouraging about what they teach like Ms. Rosie. I think that would help make the world a brighter more positive place. Thank you Ms. Rosie! Thank you South Bay Driving School! I definitely feel a lot better being on busy roads now!
Great Job! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Southbay Driving School prepare me to get my license and I would like to thank my instructor Rosie for her patience and skill in teaching. Hope your establishment prospers even more and best wishes.
Thank You! Good Luck!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend you request Rosie! She is funny, nice, professional, communicates well and doesn’t make you feel nervous or awkward. My first lesson, I knew absolutely nothing at all, she comforted me with kind kind words and made it easy and fun to learn. I just finished my last lesson with her and I’ve learned a lot in such little time from her. 10/10 recommend Rosie to be your instructor:)
Thank You! Good luck on your test and practice a lot!
Fantastic experience: Great ! GREAT ! GREAT! I love planning before making decisions, do my homework of reading Reviews.

Her name is Rosie.I waited for her for almost a month as she has so many bookings. She is an Amazing driving Coach! Efficient, Stretched me beyond my Imagination, Organized, Always punctual , Cheerful, Inspiring, Wholeheartedly dedicated, Bold yet Cautious as she always encourage Defensive driving. On my 2nd or third lesson with her I have already been confident driving on the freeway with my husband. If every Instructor is like her. Getting a DMV license would be a breeze.

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with South Bay Driving School. My instructor, Rosie, was great at communicating with me while driving and in reminding me about sessions. She was very calm in the car and helped a great deal with confidence behind the wheel. I would highly recommend South Bay Driving School if you are learning to drive. Rosie was fantastic!!
Thank you Savannah!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with the company and their instructors, specifically AJ. He is professional, prompt, helpful, and respectful. 10/10. I highly recommend trying to schedule with him. Cannot say enough how great AJ is and he made me feel comfortable with handling the wheel. Thank you.
Congratulations! Drive safe! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Ali is the best teaching manual/stick shift. Took a 2 hour lesson for $160 and it was great. Started practicing in a parking lot, then eventually moved onto the streets, and then eventually to the hills. Awesome and patient dude and would definitely recommend to anyone looking to learn.
Thank you ! He really loves it when students learn this skill!
Fantastic experience: I took a manual driving lesson with Ali before leaving for Europe. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend taking a lesson over learning from a friend! Ali has over 35 years of experience and was a fantastic and patient teacher! I only had time for one lesson, but would definitely recommend more than one before you try to drive through a hilly medieval citadel...but I lived to tell the tale thanks to Ali!
Sounds like you had a good time! Thank you for the comments. He loves to hear about the great experiences using the skills you learned.
Fantastic experience: I took classes with Alfred before my driving test and passed the test in the first attempt.His teaching is above the next level.He note and point out all the mistake during your classes and help to correct them.I really recommend him for your behind the wheel driving classes.
Congratulations on passing your Drive Test! Thank you for the kind words. Alfred appreciates you! Great job again!
Fantastic experience: Andrea was really quick to reply. I think she got back to me at like 10pm on a Sunday when I sent in a question a couple hours before that. Ali was a great instructor to teach me how to drive stick. I wanted to find an instructor to teach me and not someone with a stick car and wanted to make some cash. It was worthwhile driving a bit to Torrance to take the lesson. We covered all of driving situations and he was patient with me. Highly recommended
Thank you so much!
