James Rivera 1 year ago

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

Maya Stefanovic 1 year ago

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: 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.

Sandi Novak 2 years ago

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!

Nicole Pinto 2 years ago

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.

Hannah 2 years ago

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.

Kimberly Chambers 2 years ago

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: This was such a great experience for our family. Austen was patient and helped my child who struggled with learning how to drive.

Thank you Austen for all you did.

Jaqueline Sanchez 3 years ago

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

Nikki G. 4 years ago

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.

Mel Jordan 5 years ago

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!

Patricia Ruiz 5 years ago

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!

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.

Janice Larson 8 years ago

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!!

April West 8 years ago

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.

Linda Conjurske 9 years ago

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.

Bee Cano 10 years ago

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!
