Achievement Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The best experience I have had with customer service in my life , Mrs sherry is a heaven sent amazing people working here and will answer and most times of the day.
Fantastic experience: I went to this school it's strict but it's fun to learn how to drive 100% recommend this place Sherry is a cool teacher!
Negative experience: Terrible communication, my son messaged instructor several times to get clarification on final steps to complete course . Find out 6 months later he had to pay another 45 to take driving test to complete course . Poor communication, I do not recommend!
Fantastic experience: Sherry was awesome!
Fantastic experience: Went in for the driver improvement class on a Saturday. It was more than I thought. The video's were very informative and the instructor was extremely knowledgeable. I highly recommend this class. Not just if you got a ticket but for the knowledge you get out if it. 10/10
Fantastic experience: I had three daughters (triplets) attend the expedited class in December of last year. It was very organized and the process was outlined well for me and also explained to them so they could manage themselves through the process. They were able to sign themselves up for the driving lessons at their own pace. In less than a year all 3 now have their provisional licenses and are driving on their own. Sherry was very responsive to questions and our whole family couldn’t have found a better school through which to get this accomplished.
Fantastic experience: Amazing school great driving instructor's and very helpful all around they made this experience wonderful and painless
Fantastic experience: I have had my two oldest kids now graduate from Achievement driving school. They have learned and passed. I recommend this place, they will become strong confidence drivers.
Fantastic experience: HUGE shoutout to Achievement driving school. My last of 3 daughters just received her provisional. Words can’t express how kind and detailed ALL the instructors were. Thank you for always going above and beyond, always answering questions, and making sure our 3 daughters were ready to drive! We live across town, but refuse to go anywhere else. We HIGHLY recommend sending your teenagers to Achievement. They will not disappoint!
Negative experience: Not impressed. Getting drivetime with instructors is few and far between it can take months for something to even become available. I don't feel like they are truly trying to prepare the children to become good drivers they just want to get them through the class and push them out the door. Too many students not enough instructors. I'm very frustrated.
Negative experience: Very unhelpful. Tried 3 times to contact the number for the school, no answer. A rude person texted me back instead and didn't offer to answer any questions or anything, just told me they don't keep office hours when I asked if there was someone I could come talk to about the program. Needless to say I will go somewhere that has better customer service.
Negative experience: After reading so many rave reviews, I was quite disappointed with the quality of this school. Nowhere on their website did it mention classes were held in a classroom on the St. Pius X High School campus (private Catholic school). When we arrived, I was looking for a stand alone building with the school's name. There was only an old sign propped on the ground against the building. The facility was built in the 1950s timeframe and does not have air conditioning. The classroom was crammed with as many chairs as possible and the curriculum consisted of multiple videos from YouTube (ads included). My son said the "state of the art" simulators were not realistic or very effective; the video on the screen did not accelerate or slow down when using the gas or brake pedals and the instructors who were supposed to be grading their sim drive weren't attentive. Additionally, many students in the classroom were disruptive/rude and the instructors allowed the behavior to continue for the entire course without intervention (with the exception of one time near the end of course). The vehicles used for instructional driving appeared to be recent models in nice condition. My son has not had the opportunity to drive with an instructor yet as he just completed the classroom portion.
Fantastic experience: Very informative The presentation was presented well by the teacher
Fantastic experience: Best place to go nicely self paced recommended 100%
Positive experience: I got my certificate for the safe driver course. They got the job done.
We are now in a new location with a fully modern and clean classroom
Fantastic experience: This was such a great experience for our family. Austen was patient and helped my child who struggled with learning how to drive. I am thankful that we found Achievement and especially for Austen. With his help my child learned how to feel comfortable behind the wheel and successfully passed his test. Thank you Austen for all you did.
Fantastic experience: Best experience and excellent customer service I’ve ever had for my first time thank you Eric Stous! I was hesitant at first because of how late I had to do my road test but man was I wrong! Thank you achievement driving school!
Fantastic experience: My son had an awesome experience with Achievement. Sherry was helpful and warm, and Ashley was an awesome road instructor who put him at ease and made him feel confident. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: Both of my teenagers used Achievement and we are so happy with the service, instructors, response time of Sherry, communication and the ease of everything. Would definitely recommend Achievement Driving school.
Fantastic experience: Sherry was a excellent teacher and takes her job very seriously great job
Fantastic experience: Best driving school their is !
Fantastic experience: Was very knowledgeable Sherry is an awesome teacher Gives you a lot of information For a full day didn't feel like you were there that long
Fantastic experience: The course and the instructor was very informative and interesting. It covers all the driving skills a person needs to know and how to handle all aspects of driving. The course is well worth taking.
Fantastic experience: Sherry is incredible. She truly cares about every student and answers all questions promptly
Fantastic experience: Super nice folks... very helpful. IF you have to do this course, THIS is the place to do it :) Hopefully, I never will again though LOL Thank you Sherry!
Fantastic experience: Wow how times have changed!! zooming with a funny instructor. I usually hate a meet and greet, but Chris made it fun. The class was interesting, and even at my age I learnt new stuff. If only we could do traffic school more often, I would take my punishment with a smile, and pick this place every time:)
Fantastic experience: Will have 2 children do this course. Great course and love the flexibility. Would definitely recommend. Wish I had discovered it sooner!
Fantastic experience: They are amazing super easy and great class not boring like the states is
Fantastic experience: I was mandated by the metropolitan court to go to the six hour driver improvement class at Acheivement Driving School. I actually thought the class would be boring I need to be out of the book to my surprise it was the total opposite it was very informative and Amanda was extremely knowledgeable and what she was teaching she made the class fun and engaging.
Thank you for the feedback. Drive Safely!
Fantastic experience: Very engaging class! Instructor was kind and respectful of each individual in the class and overall made this a good learning experience. Hope to not have to take the class again but I will say I did not have a bad experience despite the reasoning I had to take this class.
Fantastic experience: THE best driving school! They are extremely patient and helpful. My favorite is Sherry, absolute kind human with so much patience. I would recommend this school to all you guys out there who need to learn how to drive.
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get your license
Negative experience: When you look up the school in google maps it takes you somewhere else. You had to call to ask for the directions. Then a few days later I come to register and come to pay for the class and there were people there but no one there answered. The person that I was talking to Eric, answered and said that we talked on the phone before rudely and he said that we had to make a meeting and then meet up when he hasn’t even told me to make a meeting in the first place. So I couldn’t even come in to register but worse experience ever
Fantastic experience: Amazing Drivers Ed school and amazing teachers, easy to learn everything plus the The written and road test
Fantastic experience: Great price for the quality service that was available to me. Great instructor that taught me what I needed to know. Now I will be a great driver.
Fantastic experience: It was a really good learning experience along with taking on action. It was an amazing!
Fantastic experience: Best driving school in New Mexico. Sherry and Eric are fantastic to work with. Excellent learning atmosphere. Highly recommend
Negative experience: Communication has been a disappointment. I can copy and paste the email here if everyone would like since no matter what you ask you will receive the same email over and over. I sent in her required paperwork and again received the same email. I call to pay for classes, no answer, no voicemail, but they texted and said "I'm on the other line, can you text me please." Now, they might have good reviews, however I couldn't get past step 1.

Fantastic experience: Excellent! My son felt comfortable with the instructors and learned as much as he could. Thank goodness for driving lessons, took some pressure and stress off of me as a parent trying to teach your kid how to drive (yikes!). Everyone took the care required to ensure safety and followed COVID protocols.
Fantastic experience: It was a comprehensive, well delivered, and dynamic course. I would recommend this school if you have to take a defensive driving course

Fantastic experience: Absolutely the most awesome teacher and very helpful service all around. Definitely recommended.
Fantastic experience: The instructor was so patient, she went above and behind her job. I don't know the New technology and she explained everything to me step by step. I never experienced someone involved in something that really wasn't there job go to the langhts that my Instructor went to. Sherry is an excellent instructor. I thank you for having her at your school to teach, I can't say enough...
Thank you Lisa, Sherry absolutely loves to teach!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with sherry virtual class I feel a lot more informed and well prepared to go out and drive safely . Highly recommend for the driver improvement school ordered by the court here
Fantastic experience: I mistakenly called NM Defensive Driving and they were rude and unprofessional. When I called Achievement, I was delighted how friendly and professional they were over the phone. They treated you well and were very helpful. They made sure you knew what was needed to comply with your traffic violation and were very non-judgmental. In these times , it is even more appreciative to have an experience like this. Thanks so much!
Fantastic experience: Achievement Driving School exceeds the average driving school. The quality in providing accurate information, relevant information to make the student feel comfortable makes a huge difference in building confidence in the driver. Extra time behind the wheel oppose to a checklist is where ADS exceeds quality and excellence. Confidence in driving and knowledge of the responsibilities of a new driver is shown! My step-daughter enjoyed her experience with ADS!
Thank you so much! It was our privilege that you trusted us to teach your daughter. Drive Safe
Fantastic experience: I recently took driver improvement with Sherry. She made the classes informative and not boring. If you ever have to take driver improvement I would highly recommend going here!
Fantastic experience: Wonderful service! Thanks Sherry!!!
Thank you Brenda , It was my pleasure working with you! drive safe!
Fantastic experience: Both of my children have attended Achievement Driving. I feel that they truly care about educating young drivers and teaching them the new rules and regulations to keep everyone on the road safe. Thank you!!
Fantastic experience: Staff was very patient, professional and detail-focused. They were helpful in every way through this process for my husband! We recommend anyone young or older to get their license here.
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience, I learned everything I needed to know as a new driver on the roads, the facilitator, instructor, and the coaches are wonderful people.
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the instructors because they were more focused and teaching than money. They emphasised safety over all else. The instructors were available and remained calm even when my driving wasn't the best. I truly enjoyed the learning experience and instructors
Fantastic experience: Awesome service, and very affordable. All the instructors were really nice and professional, and knew the content very well.
Fantastic experience: I actually had a great time and learned a lot! The teachers were great, went over pertinent information in a timely and effective manner! I appreciate the opportunity I was given with Achievement Driving School!
Thank you Olivia! Drive Safe!
Fantastic experience: The nicest Instructors! Very professional! Helped me get through the process. The price was right for the quality and service I received!
Fantastic experience: Great driving school. My son had a great time with the classroom instruction and drive times. The confidence he has shown because of the knowledge he received is great to see. As a parent I am confident he will be a safe driver.
Fantastic experience: Im a gymnast. my schedule is crazy. No other school would work with me. I actually got lucky to do this. If you are looking to get a license go tot this school.
Fantastic experience: Best Driving School EVER!!! My instructors cared about my safety and were very helpful
Fantastic experience: My younger brother went to another school and could never get drive time. This school was amazing, I could schedule my drives around my schedule 24 hours a day. Super Recommend this school!!!! Wish I could give 10 stars!
Fantastic experience: Love my teachers!!!
Fantastic experience: Really fun school. Loved the schedule and all the teachers!
Fantastic experience: the owners helped my family with payments. drive time was easy to get and so much fun. i tell all my friends to go here
Fantastic experience: i had a crazy schedule and they really helped me. they let me make payments which really helped my family.
Fantastic experience: I had so much fun getting my license. The range was really cool and the teachers were really nice. Everyone should attend tis driving school.
Fantastic experience: Best school in Albuquerque. I recommend this school to all my friends! I work a lot and go to school and they helped me get thru the process easily with no stress to get my license. Teachers were really nice and helpful.
Fantastic experience: I really appreciated ADS's professionalism and class lectures. My older son attended a few years ago and is an excellent driver; much better than the majority of drivers in ABQ who can't even use a turn signal. I'm now sending my younger son and he is doing very well. He attended his first range session last weekend and was very nervous, with Sherry's assurance and guidance he maneuvered the track with ease. I'm happy to have found a driving school that follows the NM State guidelines and teaches with the goal that all students learn the right way to drive. The price was also a selling point, and I've referred friends too. Awesome place to learn!!
Negative experience: Worst driving school in Albuquerque. And the owners are writing their own reviews. You can save yourself money and time by placing them in the free driving classes at their schools. It will take less time. I can go on and on about my issues with this school, but truthfully they are not worth the time. I just suggest trying the many other schools around Albuquerque. If the owners have to post about themselves that should warn you right there.
Fantastic experience: As a parent and working mom, I can say I appreciate how they conduct business. The classes are at times that I can easily get my daughter to and the cost is more reasonable than others in the area. They have a good selection of cute cars and work well with teens. I'm pleased with the driver education my daughter is receiving here and recommend them to anyone looking.
Positive experience: Both of my teens attended this school and spoke highly of the instructors. They have also referred friends to this school, it is priced right!
