Negative experience: I had my first driving lesson from them and Charles wasn't really helpful at all. He would only give me directions but never instructed me on how to actually drive. I'm not sure why he made us practice in a neighborhood with many parked cars on the side of the street?? The communication is horrible and unprofessional because I texted Donnie and the owner to schedule another lesson and they never responded. I emailed the ace drive school email and got ignored. So a few months later I still never heard back so I called and a guy answered and told me he wasn't sure about availability and told me to call next time. I highly recommend going to a different driving school that actually protizes their students. Why would they give me their phone numbers to text them if they're just ignoring people?? Why is it every time I call nobody can book me for a lesson It's always called back later?? I see some reviews having this common problem. They are so unorganized because there's nowhere to even book a lesson and no place to pay online. Please address this problem so you won't lose customers due to lack of communication.

Ace Driving School

Your feedback, although appreciated, is a bit confusing. Charles is one of our highest rated instructors. When our instructors work with a new student, they'll start them out on a secondary road or neighborhood with very little traffic to gauge their ability to control the vehicle then proceed based on that. As for email communication, we answer most emails within 24 hours. Occasionally 48 hours if received on holidays. We did have some problems with the contact form on our website. It only asked for an email address and a messaging box for people to use to contact us. Occasionally, people would mistype their email address so when we tried to reply, the email would return as undeliverable. Since we had no other contact information, there was nothing else we could do to contact the person. That's since been remedied as we've removed that contact form from the website. We have another contact form on our adult driving lessons page that asks for more contact information. Also, people can contact us at [email protected]. Feel free to contact me personally by calling or texting my cell phone at 704-502-1438. I'll gladly speak to you to see if there is a way to remedy this situation.

Fantastic experience: We have used Ace Driving School for both of our sons and couldn't have asked for a better experience.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Ace Driving school for any new drivers looking to refresh their skill and gain confidence. Donnie is really a great instructor. He is patient, helpful and with good tips and tricks and will give you great feedback on what you are doing well and what you need to work on. The process is very easy and affordable too. They let you decide how many classes you want to do. They are really busy on the schedule but they definitely try to accommodate you as best as they could. Thank you, Donnie!

Sushma Bhatnagar 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I decided to learn driving in the USA through Ace driving school because of the reviews on Google. Mr.Charles was my instructor and he made me comfortable driving on the US roads from day 1 of my classes. He is very patient and explains the nuances of driving here very well. I would recommend Ace driving school and Mr Charles to everyone.

Ace Driving School

Sanjukta Roychowdhury 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recommend Ace driving school for the new drivers. I never drove a car and learned after coming to USA, I was super nervous and not confident at all, thanks to Charles who helped me to overcome the fear of driving and taught me so well that I cleared my road test on first attempt. I took 12 hrs behind the wheel class and took the same car for the road test. Two years ago I took 6 hrs behind the wheel class from a different driving school and went for the road test with my car not the same car I was practicing and I failed my road test terribly, it made me so nervous that I stopped learning and driving. I’m writing this so that new drivers like me shouldn’t repeat the mistakes I did.After long time I started learning again and this time I found the best instructor Charles and got my drivers license. Thank you Donnie and Charles.

Ace Driving School

Thank you Sanjukta for taking the time to leave a great review. We're glad that you enjoyed your driving learning experience with us. I also want to congratulate you for sticking with your desire to drive, overcoming your fears, and passing the road test after a bad experience a few years ago. Enjoy the freedom that driving gives you. You've earned it. Stay safe and best of luck with everything you do!

sajiah lulendo 1 year ago

Positive experience: I had a good experience with Ace Driving School. Donnie and Charles are good instructors. They taught me what I needed to know to pass the road test. The prices are also reasonable. I am giving a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because one of the instructors missed a few of our practice sessions that were scheduled in advance. That instructor, however, was able to reschedule with me to make up for those missed sessions. Thank you Donnie and Charles for helping me become a licensed driver.

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the feedback Sajiah. We're glad you had a good experience with our driving school. We'll work harder to get better at communication if an instructor needs to reschedule a lesson. Best of luck with your driving.

Fantastic experience: My name is Ashlyn and I had a pretty good experience with this driving school as my driving instructor Chrissie helped me gain my confidence. It took several months and all that hard work paid off when I passed my driver’s test. I honestly couldn’t believe I managed to pass and I have Chrissie and many others to thank for it.

Ace Driving School

We're so happy to hear that you passed your driving test Ashlyn! Your hard work paid off. Also, thank you for the positive feedback. We greatly appreciate you taking the time to let us know about your positive experience with our driving school. We wish you the best of luck with your driving.

Fantastic experience: I had a good experience here. They have good instructors, especially my instructor - Mr. Donny. He was very patient and kind to me. He gave me tips so that i can pass my driving test. I passed it on my first try with him. I will recommend Ace Driving School to my friends.

Tammy Vernon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: We just survived second child finishing behind the wheel. For both, we went the cheaper route through CMS for classroom then paid for private BTW. Worth it! Parents need to remember it is only the first 6 hours of instruction, required to get a permit. We wanted instructors that have been doing this a while and could keep our kids safe. We wanted one on one instruction. They did all that and also gave feedback on things to work on. Very happy we chose Ace for both kids.

Ace Driving School

Thank you Tammy for trusting us with both of your kids for their driving school needs. That is something that we do not take lightly. We enjoyed working with them and wish you all the best!

Jessa Lang 1 year ago

Negative experience: I would not recommend reaching out to this place. Just like Latesha and others with 1 star review which I wish I’ve seen prior, I unfortunately looked at all the high reviews. For over 2 months I’ve been trying to schedule with Donnie, scheduled a about a couple times and he stood me up on both occasions. I still tried to see the good in it and gave another try. He said he’d call me and he did not. It’s just sad and I don’t want others to have the same experience but you feel free to try. I would not recommend trying more than once if you don’t get confirmed schedule and actually taken to a lesson.

Fantastic experience: Both Donnie and Cori did an amazing job with helping me drive. Just from two lessons, I gained a lot of confidence, knowledge, and understanding for driving, which made it possible for me to get my driver’s license so quickly! Thanks to Ace Driving School I was able to accomplish so much in so little time!

Thank you Satyabrata for the kind words. It was a pleasure working with you on your driving needs. We wish you the best of luck with all of your travels.

Latesha Gives 2 years ago

Negative experience: Would NOT recommend. If I could give them zero stars I would. Just like the previous review I wasted over a month of my time trying to get my daughter scheduled with this company. After weeks and a few emails and phone calls someone named Donnie finally called me and said we could get my daughter scheduled that week. Well guess what I never heard from Donnie again after multiple attempts on my end trying to contact him. The company also stopped answering my emails. Very unprofessional to say the least!!

Sandy Ferrara 2 years ago

Negative experience: Would not recommend. Unfortunately wasted 3 weeks of my time trying to get scheduled with this company. Went to another company (TLC Driving School) and within one day we are all set and on schedule. We will see how it goes but so far night and day in professionalism, responsiveness and thoroughness compared to my experience over the last 3 weeks with Ace. Very disappointed. UPDATE: Interesting response from owner received today (7/8) to my review. FIRST TIME being told the reason for the “bad communication” was due to an accident with one of their cars. Interesting given the timeline over 3 WEEKS!! I wonder when this accident happened that caused all of this miscommunication and then only to be advised of this “reason” AFTER my review … makes one go “mmmm”. I had to constantly be the one reaching out for status and they NEVER did as promised. Not to mention the story (excuses) were always different. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Ace Driving School

We apologize for the miscommunication. One of our cars was rear ended and totaled in a bad collision leaving one of our driving instructors hospitalized. Thankfully, the student was not injured. In the midst of dealing with this, our communication was not the best which is not the norm. We wish your student all the best.

W L 2 years ago

Positive experience: My son took the online course and driving lessons package last summer. He was 15 at the time and never sat behind the wheel of a car before. The day of his first lesson, my son was beyond nervous, he was shaking. The woman instructor sitting beside him was anything but friendly or understanding of how he was feeling. He said she was annoyed and cranky. They should know better to be a little more kind to kids who don’t have a clue as to what they’re doing behind the wheel, and make first-time drivers comfortable, especially kids. They may look like adults, but they’re still children.

Ace Driving School

I'm sorry your son's first experience didn't go well. We have spoken to this instructor about being more courteous and understanding to nervous drivers. We want all of our driving students to feel comfortable behind the wheel. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Matthew Callihan 2 years ago

Negative experience: Their driver honked at me to turn right on no turn on red. Then promptly fish tailed a u-turn. Then merged lanes thrice without a turn signal in the span of less than half a mile. Would rather have my kid bike to school than take lessons from whoever was behind this wheel. 0/10

Ace Driving School

I highly doubt any of our instructors would drive like that. For one, they are all safe drivers who teach safe driving for a living. Secondly, it would be very stupid to drive this way with a large yellow sign on top of the car with our driving school name and phone number. I believe this review is fake and have contacted Google to remove it. If anyone sees any of our cars driving crazy, try to get the license plate number of the car and call the office to let me know.

Jen Pilla Taylor 2 years ago

Negative experience: I think most of the instructors are good at this school but the one my daughter got was comically bad. My first clue was at the start of my daughter's first session when the instructor asked me if my 14-year-old daughter had ever driven before. She seemed openly annoyed when I told her she had not. She was impatient and unprofessional. She ate peanut butter crackers and LOOKED AT HER PHONE for extended periods of time while my daughter was driving. At one point she told my daughter to turn left when she actually meant right. For the most part, it was kind of funny but I am actually concerned that she never took my daughter out driving on the highway, so my daughter was not taught how to safely merge, etc. We plan to buy a few more hours at a different driving school so my daughter can get the instruction she needs.

Hema Desai 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test thanks to Ace Driving School. Really impressed with the Ace Driving School’s systems and lessons plan. I was lucky enough to have Mr. Donnie and Mr. Charles as my instructor, they were so pleasant, patient and knowledgeable about all things driving/cars/tips & tricks to park, etc. Loved our chats on our drives and feel much more confident and competent as a driver thanks to their guidance. Ace Driving School provides very affordable fees/price. Would definitely recommend learning with Ace Driving School.

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the great response Hema. We're glad that you enjoyed your driving school training. You are a great student and a pleasure to work with. Congratulations for passing the driving test. We wish you all the best with your driving.

Fantastic experience: Saved daughters life!! Brakes and steering failed at 60 mph last Sunday evening on HWY485 near exit. Yanking steering column snd repeated breaking engaged emergency control help. Learned this technique at ACE driving in classroom discussion. All thanks to Mr Donnie, Miss Dee. Please don’t even think twice. These folks are real deal and family will forever be thankful!!

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the kind words Barbara. Give credit to your daughter as well for paying attention in class. We're so glad that she got out of that situation safely. We wish her all the best with her driving.

Carolyn Balcom 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I passed my road test on my first try thanks to Ace Driving School!! My instructor, Dee, was incredibly kind and patient, making me feel comfortable behind the wheel. She explained things super clearly and was great with visual cues to help me learn faster. Coming from New York City, driving seemed intimidating, but in just a few classes, I began to drive with ease and confidence. Safety is this school’s top priority and they enforce good driving habits that you’ll utilize beyond the road test. I highly recommend Ace for learners of any age! You won’t regret it! Thanks Ace and thank you again Dee!!

Ace Driving School

We're so glad to hear about your great driving experience with Dee and that you passed the road test on your first try. We try hard, as you mentioned, to encourage good, safe driving habits. You did very well as a student by following Dee's instruction. We wish you all the best with your new found confidence behind the wheel and the freedom that new driver's license gives you. Happy and safe travels!

Fantastic experience: I was new to driving and i took 6hrs of beyond wheels from ace driving school and i passed my road test easily. My instructor Donnie trained me very well and he taught me all road rules and how to use controls efficiently by following road rules.He teaches all the manures which will be tested on DMV road test and make you perfect in that areas. Thank you Donnie!! Price is very reasonable when it is compared with other driving schools. I highly recommend this driving school for new learners. I took road test with Monroe DMV.

Ace Driving School

Thank you Shankar. It was a pleasure working with you on your driving. You're a great student so it's not surprising that you passed the road test on your first try. We wish you all the best with your driving adventures.

tynikqua smith 3 years ago

Negative experience: The owner of this school is very unprofessional. I’ve been trying to book my first session with him for over two weeks and a half. Every time I call he is very unorganized and he doesn’t respond to calls or text messages in a timely matter. You will have to keep calling him and don’t know his driving schedules. He keeps telling me to give them a call back tomorrow or in a few days to see if he can get me in and then I call and he tellS me to call back again in a few days to book because he doesn’t have his schedule on him.It seems as if his customers work around his schedule and not a steady business schedule. How you don’t know your driving schedule? He never knew It! I had called him at least four times and a few times he canceled. This is a customer service role and it’s really sad that he couldn’t provide great customer service. If you’re booked out just say that and we can move on to the next school. But word of knowledge to every driving school know your schedules know when you’re open keep a schedule on you? It has ruined my experience. Luckily I found a great school who’s been consistent and professional and have great communication.

Ace Driving School

I apologize for the delays in getting back to you. Summer is extremely busy for us and I'm constantly driving students. That's not an excuse so I've made some changes to better handle responding and contacting perspective students. I wish you all the best with your driving.

Fantastic experience: Dee is such a great teacher. She’s kind and calm. Learning how to drive is stressful situation and Dee had the ability to make my son feel comfortable and confident!

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the great feedback Jolene. Our driving instructors try to make all of our driving school students feel comfortable behind the wheel. Most students are nervous in the beginning and gain confidence as we progress through the lessons. It's a neat process to experience and one of the reasons we enjoy what we do. We wish your son all the best with his driving.

Kerry Hodel 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Back when Covid had the school programs shut down I turned to Ace for my kiddo to get his hours & classtime completed. I was extremely impressed with the communication, organized structure, flexibility & overall professionalism of this business. It was also a fair price (I researched many driving schools in the area) & they really took care of everything required to complete the permit process. Very impressive organization!

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the great review Kerry. It was a pleasure working with your son. We wish him all the best with driving.

sydney janai 5 years ago

Positive experience: The first time around I went with Giselle. She doesn’t know how to deal with timid drivers (which there will be a lot of considering it’s the first time for a lot of us on the highway and 74 is confusing and a little bit scary.) but second time around I went with the owner, David I think was his name, and he was much better with me since I was a little nervous to drive on the road. I recommend if you’re going with him but if you’re uncomfortable the first time around definitely ask for someone else!

Ace Driving School

Thank you for the honest feedback Sydney. Donnie, the owner, will speak to all of the driving instructors about being considerate to our nervous driving students. Our goal is to see that all students become safe and confident drivers. We wish you the best and please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.

Patrick C 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: ACE Driving school is the best! My wife and I decided to enroll our son into this driving school instead of trying to manage the logistics through CMS. We are so glad that we went the independent route. The owner (Donnie) is fabulous. His instructor led sessions over the weekends made this a perfect fit as it only required several weekends for my son to complete the class component. Also, the driving sessions went extremely well with Stacy. My son commented how patient she was as an instructor and he learned all of the fundamentals of driving in several sessions. We have been so impressed with how they took someone that barely knew anything about driving to being able to drive on the highways and all through Mecklenburg and Union County. We will definitely use this business again with our daughter once she reaches driving age!

Ace Driving School

Thank you Patrick for the kind words and trusting us to teach driver's education to your son. That is an honor that we do not take lightly. We look forward to teaching your daughter also. We wish you and your family the best.

Paramita Ghosh 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I never had to drive in India, so I had no experience with 4 wheeler driving. I moved to US in 2014 and been relocated to different places in US due to work. I had been avoiding to get a driver's license since then. But recently I had to get settled down in Charlotte and learning driving became a must. Donnie and his team (Specially Mr. Charles) had been a huge help in getting me to drive in about 6 classes! And guess what, they don't cost you an arm and a leg! I highly recommend their service for new and experiences drivers as well.

Ace Driving School

Thank you Paramita! We wish you all the best.

I got through in first attempt. Its the best driving school from what I have heard in Charlotte. Their fees is reasonable compared to other schools with top standards.Thanks Donie and Charles.

Ace Driving School

Thanks Harish for the awesome feedback. Congrats on passing the test on your first attempt. Best of luck to you and happy & safe driving!

Seth Bass 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: I am 23 and had yet to have any driving practice. I had a fear of driving since I was young from being in multiple accidents. However, within 4 to 5 one hour sessions with Donnie, I "ACE-ed" () my driving test on my first try with no hiccups and my fear of driving has vanished almost entirely. Ace driving school is quick, efficient, and cost friendly. I highly recommend this to anyone, no matter how much or how little experience they may have. Very pleased. 5 stars.

Ace Driving School

Thank you Seth for the fantastic review. Congratulations for overcoming your fear and passing the test on your first try. I'm sure your family & friends are extremely proud. Fear is not easily conquered, especially after being involved in numerous traffic accidents. You should feel super proud of those accomplishments!

Nicole Morales 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Best experience i’ve had with a driving school. Make you feel extremely comfortable and get you ready to get your license in no time. I was involved in an accident that made me kind of hesitant to drive again and felt I needed to perfect my skills some more, decided to call ACE, I took only 2 classes with them and passed my driving test on the first try! Donnie is truly a great teacher, extremely friendly and offers the best prices too. He was always on time, answered any questions and makes you feel like he genuiely cares and wants to help you do great while giving you a good laugh in the process. Great cars to drive, Not to mention they come and pick you up right from your house which is really convienent. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking to get their permit or license! Would give 100 stars if I could!

Ace Driving School

Thank you Nicole for the kind words. Working with eager students like yourself makes our job easy.

Ashwini Bala 7 years ago

Positive experience: This is a good driving school where the instructors are motivational which is important for new drivers. I took 3-4 classes with Charles and one with Donnie. I got my license at the first attempt. However, I had to give them 4 stars because I was asked to take an extra driving session though I was confident in my driving and the other instructor felt so too. Another reason is they canceled or rescheduled couple of agreed classes and I wasn’t happy about it. But to me, the pros were definitely better than the 2 cons.. they were positive, motivational, not expensive, have good number of cars with all seat adjustments required for a short person like me and Donnie gave me some very useful tips about driving. I would always recommend this school to my friends and any new driver!

Jon Nance 7 years ago

Negative experience: Donnie’s instructor took my 16 year old to another adult’s house to shoot guns during his driving lesson. Next time out, this instructor took my child to several pawn shops. Entirely unprofessiona

Jewels J 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Don't waste your time going with any other driving school... A.C.E is the best driving school!! Donnie gave me 4-lessons and decided I was ready for the road test. I'm a new driver and at age 41. I was terrified but Donnie did a fantastic job with my self confidence. I went to Monroe DMV and sadly failed the test because the examiner was a moron! She was aggressive and looked for every reason to fail me. I went to Huntersville DMV a week later and passed with ACE! Everything Donnie taught me was exactly what came in the road test. Another student went with me and passed as well!! This driving school is the cheapest price and the best teacher!!! Thank you Donny!!!

Amari Simmons 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: SO glad I chose this driving school over any others! Donnie was super helpful and informative but most importantly nice and on time!! He helped me get my license, 5 stars just isn’t enough! Thank you!

Positive experience: Had a very good experience with Ace driving school. Charles is an awesome instructor. Teaches precisely. Corrects us with a positive attitude which helps keep us motivated. Took 3 Classes with Charles and last day Donnie took for the test. Took one round near Huntersville DMV before the test on the same road where test is conducted. Donnie provided some tips which were useful. Would highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Great and nice experience. I have never driven a car in US. But, great driving practice lessons given by Dee and excellent instructions and practice provided by Donnie helped a lot. Important point to note here is ... I got my Driving License at First attempt. That is what matters the MOST.... Moreover the prices are economic and affordable...

Lance Nelson 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: My 18 Year Old Daughter needed some extra help. So I got a 2 hour driving session and we go DJ. She was exceptional with my daughter. That 2 hour driving blitz with the driving instructor is all we needed to give our daughter some added confidence and learn some much needed safety tips. Sometimes your kids learn better from another adult. They are outstanding! Donny was awesome in scheduling everything and making sure we got what we needed.

Kasi Valliappan 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Good learning school, helped a lot with driving rules and regulations. Recommend to take class with dee,charles and Danny.
