Wright Way Driving School

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright was a wonderful driving instructor for my son. He was exposed to numerous driving situations that I hadn't thought of before. Because of this experience, he is a better driver. I recommend Wright Way Driving School to anyone!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright was my instructor in 1993 and he recently drove two of my three sons. He is thorough and covers EVERYTHING they need to be successful as drivers. You can’t beat experience.

Fantastic experience: My driver instructor Solomon was a very great instructor and thought me a lot a great things which really helped improve my driving.

Fantastic experience: David is INCREDIBLE!! Best instructor and you won't forget anything he teaches you!! Highly recommend him!!!

Fantastic experience: Great instructor, helped me not die on the highway and enabled me to finish my CSMA 19 form.

Fantastic experience: I am thankful for his lessons that made me a confident driver. Very reasonable fee too! His focus is not just making someone passing the driving test , he has a wholesome approach!!!! Will recommend highly!!!!

Fantastic experience: Being an international student who didn’t drive much prior to coming to the US, Mr. Wright helped me a lot to gain confidence right from the day 1. He made driving a lot easier to me than I imagined and taught me few important things which are usually overlooked. Overall he was funny and very professional, and I would highly recommend Mr. Wright to anyone who is afraid of driving.

Fantastic experience: Wright Way was an excellent choice for me and the instructor was direct and honest in his feedback which allowed me to accurately assess my driving skills. He has a lot of experience and gave good pointers for turning and directions. He even gave a little history lesson of Blacksburg while I was driving. Definitely would recommend!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to learn how to drive. As an international student, I wasn’t entirely sure of how things work in the US. Thanks to Mr. Wright, I’m much more confident on the road. He’s quite friendly and is an effective instructor. Like someone mentioned, he jokes around a bit to help you ease in and repeatedly tells you of safe driving practices. He’s quite honest with how many sessions you may need. After one session, he suggested that I may need another before I could take the test. His highway lessons are particularly useful. I feel as long as you listen and do what he says, you’ll be fine. Overall, a great experience.

Negative experience: Not sure if it’s because of my foreign accent. The instructor called was extremely rude. Talks at you not to you. Like I have to beg him in order to take lessons? He blatantly refuse to try to understand and just made derogatory comments like I have to speak perfectly in order to get his response. I don’t know how they got these good reviews. Or perhaps these good reviews are only from people of his kind. I expected to learn how to drive safely but instead, I was met with hostility and disrespect. No one should tolerate such treatment, especially when trying to pay for such service. If you’re looking for a supportive and respectful learning environment, especially if you’re not white, do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. This place does not deserve your time and money.

Negative experience: Super rude

Fantastic experience: The instructor did not waste my time driving in parking lots when he assessed that I had some driving experience. He took me directly to the road on the very first lesson. By the third class he was giving me highway lessons, shortly after which I passed my driving test. He tells you your weaknesses and areas of improvement directly.

Fantastic experience: We were fortunate to have Coach Wright instruct our daughter in driving. We had some concerns while we were driving with her ourselves but she dramatically improved with Mr. Wright’s instruction. He was always timely and professional and kept our daughter safe. We feel like the knowledge she gained will help to keep her safe in the future and look forward to having Wright Way instruct our son.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is the best teacher!! Very patient and knowledgeable!

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Mr. Wright, for excellent and careful driving instruction for our daughter! We feel much more secure in her skills now. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Recently I received training on driving skills from Dave. I found him very friendly and helpful. He helped me to identify my problems and work on those. After five days of getting training from him, I pass the DMV road skill test exam.

Fantastic experience: I was recently a driving student of Mr. Wright’s, and I heavily recommend him for anyone who is looking to take the behind the wheel test! He is a very nice guy, makes jokes and keeps things consistent, and breaks the silence when you’re feeling nervous. He doesn’t focus solely on in-town driving, and instead practices merging on highways and interstates, as well as windy back roads. He also got me through the test very quickly, within 1 week, which I very much appreciate. I greatly recommend him to anyone thats looking for a good, cheap, reliable service!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is a great instructor with a great sense of humor! He made my daughter feel very relaxed and comfortable! Thanks Mr. Wright!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous before driving with Mr. Wright(especially when making turns) but his classes gradually made me behave more like a real driver. My roommate was surprised and pleased with my progress. I took many classes with him and he gave me a class for free at around Thanksgiving. Some key life-saving takehomes are: Do remember to stop at the yield sign (otherwise it might be very dangerous), look carefully to all directions before turning(especially cars turning left from across side), turn fast once I make the decision, follow the right lane...

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright teaches you the right way, period. He’s a great mentor, uplifts your confidence when you need it and toughens up a little to make sure you take driving seriously (after all, he needs to make sure his students drive responsibly). His prices are reasonable and he’s very honest about the amount of work needed. The absolute highlight for me was that he’s not at all into ripping off his students. I asked his opinion if I needed more lessons to pass the test, and he let me go after just one session. So yes, if he says you need a couple more hours even after a week of lessons, I’d suggest you to pay heed to his advise.

Fantastic experience: "I highly recommend Mr. Wright! Thanks to his expert guidance, I was able to learn to drive perfectly in only a few lessons. From the moment I got behind the wheel, I felt completely at ease with his clear and patient instructions. Mr. Wright was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses as a driver and tailored his lessons accordingly, which made a huge difference in my progress. What really sets Mr. Wright apart, though, is his ability to explain complex driving maneuvers in a way that is easy to understand and remember. He broke down each step of the driving process, and gave me plenty of opportunities to practice until I felt confident and comfortable on the road. I also appreciated Mr. Wright's focus on safety throughout the lessons. He was vigilant about making sure I understood the rules of the road and how to navigate various driving scenarios safely. As a result, I feel like I have a solid foundation of driving skills that I can rely on for years to come. Overall, if you're looking for a top-notch driving instructor who will help you learn to drive safely and with confidence, look no further than Mr. Wright. I'm so grateful for the experience I had with him, and I know you will be too!

Fantastic experience: I just finished the behind-the-wheel training with David Wright. He is real patient. He always told you and remind you the sense of safe driving and practical skills. His goal is not only helping you pass the exam, but also teaching you being a responsible driver in your life. What's more, his price is also reasonable than other driving school. He kindly shares his car for your training, which is also better than other driving school.

Negative experience: I don’t know why everyone has given the good reviews here but he isn’t a good instructor. I am not sure if it is because of my skin color or whatever else he was so rude and aggressive with me while teaching. I won’t suggest anyone to learn with this person.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is highly knowledgeable and experienced and has a patient, calm, pleasant demeanor with teenagers. My son was a "hesitant driver" who took his time and was not ready to complete his behind-the-wheel training until he was well over 17. He was a bit nervous to take this last step, but it turned out to be a fun, positive, easy experience for him. He found Mr. Wright easy to talk with and enjoyed hearing all of his stories. He also said that Mr. Wright taught him some things he had not learned in his classroom training or while logging time with his dad, so it was a valuable learning experience that left him more confident in his driving skills. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: My son just finished his driving hours with Mr Wright, he of course was nervous due to not knowing Mr Wright, I picked him up after he finished the first day and he had thoroughly enjoyed himself and was 100% comfortable! He said his behind the wheel experience was great and would recommend Mr Wright to all his friends! At the end of the course Mr Wright and I discovered that he knew some of my family, small world! I highly recommend Wright Driving School!!

Fantastic experience: Coach Wright is an excellent instructor! He is patient, teaches fundamental skills, and how to react during situations that especially young drivers encounter and how to correct them safely. I highly recommend Wright Way to all parents who have student drivers. Coach Wright teaches them Confidence, Safety, and puts us parents as ease knowing our children are prepared for the responsibility driving by themselves because he has taught them to handle the unexpected.

Fantastic experience: My Son just finished his driving hours with Mr. Wright. I have to say the experience that he has received driving these last few days has been phenomenal. I would recommend Wright Way to any parent that wants their Kids to get hands in real driving experience.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is an excellent and patient coach with rich experience. I passed the road test after I took the training with him. He taught me many skills in driving and helped me get rid of some bad habits. I also overcame the fear of driving after the training.I enjoyed the time learning to drive with him. I would highly recommend Wright Way to anyone who wants to drive.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright was an excellent teacher and very friendly! I really enjoyed my time learning to drive with him and would highly recommend Wright Way to anyone learning to drive!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright was probably the best choice I could have made with trying to get some practice before taking the test. Had great conversations during the drive while getting valuable tips. His experience makes you feel very comfortable behind the wheel :)

Fantastic experience: I passed the road test and I strongly recommend Mr. Wright. He is so patient and he gives good instructions to improve your driving skills.

Fantastic experience: Amazing Instructor who gives practical and specific guidance. My son took his driving class and now I feel much more comfortable about him driving!

Fantastic experience: Mr Wright without question was my first choice for driving class, he taught my mother driving when she was in high school in 1985’ and my sister 2 years ago, he taught me everything I needed to be a safe driver in all different conditions. I will recommend him to any young driver I know.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright was the best choice for my son’s driving instructor. Upon finishing his driving course, my son came away with the confidence of a skilled driver, and the knowledge of an experienced driver, which put my heart and mind at ease, sending him out onto the road alone. I highly recommend using Wright Way Driving School, and plan to do so again for our next driver!

Fantastic experience: He was very experienced and a good teacher

Fantastic experience: David is one of the best instructors. He tries his best that you learn as quick as possible with following all the traffic rules. Highly recommended.

Negative experience: He’s just terrible, he makes you nervous, doesn’t properly explain what he wants you to do, and talks in a very condescending way. I definitely do not suggest ever going to his driving school.

Fantastic experience: Great coach!!! Very responsible and good management with time, not giving ppl stress and friendly to new drivers!

Fantastic experience: Coach Wright is an excellent teacher. He is extremely flexible with his schedule and a really good instructor. His alertness and years of experience add more quality to an already excellent method of driving!

Fantastic experience: We are very pleased with the driving instruction our teenager received from Mr. Wright. It was a very positive experience for our son and we can tell he learned a lot through this course. Mr. Wright is flexible and easy to work with. He is a good communicator and very responsive to messages. He went above and beyond to make sure our son mastered important skills. His years of driving instruction are invaluable. Will recommend him to friends without reservation.

Fantastic experience: David does an excellent job and coached my daughter through the last stage of getting her driving license. Calm and confident and professional.

Fantastic experience: Coach Wright has decades of experience teaching people to drive. Flexible scheduling and convenient meeting places made it work well for us, in addition to the quality instruction. We had a great experience with Wright Way Driving School and will use their services again.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is extremely professional, experienced, and thorough in teaching. He keeps you engaged by telling interesting stories too. Best school in town at best price !!

Fantastic experience: I picked Wright Driving School for my 16 year old to receive his driver’s license! He was very professional and worked with my sons work schedule! My son said he felt very comfortable and confident while driving with him as his instructor! I would highly recommend Wright Driving school to anyone! My daughter has about 3 years before she gets her license and I will definitely be using his services again!!

Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Mr. Wright! He was extremely qualified and gave great instruction without making the lessons stressful. During the sessions, I became much more comfortable driving, and I felt like we practiced a lot of practical skills instead of driving the same safe roads over and over. Would definitely recommend-- you won't be able to find anyone with more experience!

Fantastic experience: Wright Way Driving helped me tremendously. He was very patient! Very professional! N very thorough!

Fantastic experience: My 16 yo son had a wonderful experience with Mr. Wright. As most parents know, our children driving, is extremely nerve racking, to say the least. We want them to be as prepared as possible with the most experience available. That is exactly what we got. Mr. Wright made sure he had practice with everything imaginable. Some things I didn’t even think of doing. And he taught him well. Worth EVERY penny.

Fantastic experience: Flexible schedule & relaxed, anxiety free lessons. If you are an adult driver I recommend practicing a little more in the busy downtown intersections to gain better confidence in dealing with a variety of unexpected situations before the exam.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright has A LOT of years of experience in being a driving instructor. He is calm and has a pleasant demeanor, which is helpful and makes the learning experience that driving is much better. He taught me certain driving maneuvers that I never learned in my driving class at school, and personally, I recommend his service to anyone who is looking for a calm, knowledgeable instructor.

Fantastic experience: Best price around and the best Instructors!!!!

Fantastic experience: I have now had all four (4) of my children take Driver's Training with David and Wright-Way, over the last 8 years, and as nervous as I was for each to drive in today's impatient world, I have been nothing but thrilled with their abilities and understanding of the road and safety. It's quite a relief when I know they may be on the interstate or driving home at night. Honestly, based on some of the stories I have heard from parents who have used other local driving schools, it's my well documented opinion that if you use anyone else in the area, you're likely short changing your driver when building their driving foundation. Best teacher, best price, and best results...Period. It'd be 6 stars if there were such a rating. My insurance company and I thank you, Wright-Way!!!

Fantastic experience: A very patient and a perfect gentleman. Very calm and composed person. The best driving teacher anyone could expect. Makes you feel very comfortable and confident while driving. Helps you fix all the mistakes and teaches you in a way you will never forget again. You can completely rely on him to transform you from a novice to a skilled driver ready to pass the test. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is really helpful. I learned from him for 2 hours and was able to drive in the freeway! A great instructor; patient and easy-going. Strongly recommend to anyone, particularly the Chinese students who do not have any driving experience in China and are terrified to drive here (just like me).

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed the classes! The instructor is a great teacher and stays calm which is important to me. I learned very quickly and passed my test on my first try! He was also very fair with pricing and lenient with schedules. Definitely would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed driving with Mr. Wright. He is funny, smart and continues to teach and keep you engaged while either driving or watching others drive. I think he’s the best teacher around and very affordable. I recommend him to any young driver!

Fantastic experience: Good folks!

Fantastic experience: Excellent instruction!! And very willing to work with school schedules. All around a great experience.

Fantastic experience: Mr. Wright is awesome! Very patient and thorough. Have had a great experience each time we've had a new driver.

Fantastic experience: If you are in need of a patient, compassionate instructor, this is the school for you. As a parent, I was afforded a supportive ear for the concerns I had regarding our daughter’s driving instruction. She had been struggling with driving instruction for years. This school invested her with the confidence and skill to overcome her fear and become licensed - on her first attempt. I do not have words to express the extent of my gratitude. I recommend with singular confidence , you will not be disappointed.
