Fantastic experience: They helped me so much and I was just able to get my license thanks to their great teaching in class and behind the wheel! Very thankful and 10000% recommend to anyone and everyone!

Fantastic experience: This place is pretty lit, like the teacher is mad chill. We low key jumped off the walls and my man grabbed us with his arms back into life. Like low-key chill. If you have kids like gl and send them here. My boy collin looks like Jesus, and Paul is the most nonchalant dreadhead. Paul is the most calm man, and when we drive, it feels like we driving on clouds. The cars are so chill, they're mad funny and they make David giggle. If you wanna have an educational class that helps you drive, take this class. It's taught by Jesus and his disciple, St Paul. They really helped me with driving, and without them I'd probably be not driving. Thanks to Collin and Paul, I can now drive and without them, I may have never been able to drive. This is the best driving school in May valley. And all the world. And it smells like subway, and subway is so good. The vibes make the place feel like a mystical den garden.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Collin Curry is the single greatest driver I have ever been presenced with. The class was amazing and I am now a world class driver. The only downside is the Collin threw markers at me and he lied about the pizza.

Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend taking the drive test here. It was a pleasant experience with Collin Curry. I was quite nervous when taking the exam as a foreigner newly in U.S. He understood my nervous and tried to make me relax. I asked some questions before the exam as a new driver. He helped answer them clearly. And after the test, he explained each points that I need to take care of. It took me some time driving from Redmond due to the power outage. But it worth it. Already recommend this place to my friends and colleagues!

Fantastic experience: Mate, this driving school is bloody ripper! The instructor was as cool as a cucumber, even when I kangaroo-hopped the clutch more times than a roo on Red Bull. They taught me to handle roundabouts smoother than a sausage on the barbie and parallel park like I was sliding into the last spot at the servo on a busy arvo. If you're keen to learn without feeling like a total drongo, give this mob a go. 10/10, would hoon responsibly again!

Negative experience: Red May Valley Driving School car flying up i5 going 80+ when the speed limit is 60. I get going 10 over but flying past and zipping in and out of traffic going well over 80 is a concern.

Kaitlyn Goonan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Collin is the goat. He is an excellent driving instructor who is passionate about and is effective at teaching students how to drive in a fun, engaging way. His sidekick Paul is pretty chill too. This, along with the lowest prices in the Seattle area will make you not regret choosing this driving school. Plus, there's a pizza party for the driver's ed class and you'll get your first written test for free if you take it! Highly recommend.

Layme Chao 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am an “experienced” driver who moved recently trying to get a first driver license and this is an excellent driving school to pass written and driving exam. Both were very smooth from scheduling the time, no over complicating payment or rescheduling and great experience of presenting both exams. I was very nervous during both but the environment is very relaxed and focused which does help a lot to not feel overwhelmed with the new experience or stressed at all. The instructor is very patient but focused on safety and explained how to improve my driving skills after the exam. I highly recommend for whose driving is not one of their favorite activities.

Fantastic experience: Collin curry is an amazing and a honest person and in doing so makes the class really fun and interesting. The material that he covered was very in depth and covered a lot of different scenarios. Also, May Valley Driving School offers more drives and one on one experience compared to others in the area making driving seem less scary. So in total very goated teacher and very good lessons.

Felix Campbell 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Collin Curry is an amazing instructor!! He made every lesson super fun and easy to follow and understand. All the stories he told about his experiences while on drives with students and just driving around Seattle in general were very funny and actually helped with understanding a bit more what it’s like behind the wheel driving in this insane area. Definitely recommend going to May Valley and enrolling with Collin!!

Fantastic experience: They are very good instructors. They listen to you and know/help you discover your driving strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, there is not a 4-8 month wait to get your drives in. They allow you to get your drives in swiftly so you can get your driver license as quickly as you want to. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Best driving school I’ve been to so far, only possible complaint is that Wednesday’s schedule is a little tight for students, but that’s a fault of the school district and not this place. Collin’s good at teaching, and values students passing over getting through the lessons as fast as possible. Also the pizza here is good.
