Fantastic experience: I had the 5 hour package with Clyde and he did an amazing job teaching me how to drive. I gained so much confidence and passed my drivers test on my first attempt
Fantastic experience: I took the 5 hour course with a little bit of knowledge but the instructors really helped me focus on the things that I was struggling with which lead me to getting my license on the first try. I definitely recommend them. Plus the prices are very reasonable and the instructors top quality.

Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Driving lessons by Clyde and Kevin were very detailed and helped me learn easily. I passed the driving test on 1st try!
Fantastic experience: I had asked for. 5 hour package . This was the school which I felt i could afford amongst all the highly rated schools in triangle area. Kevin was my instructor .Very accomodative with timings .Needed pickup from my office/ home for classes acc to my routine . At the right time he used to be at my place. More importantly most named classes takes about one n a half hour to two hours a day . The one hour class was very apt for me and sufficient. He was calm nor panicked me while i was driving which was what i was looking in an instructor . With his teachings and my practice i cleared the test in the first try .Thanks Kevin!
Fantastic experience: I recently bought the 10 hour driving package and I’ve been working with Clyde throughout. Absolutely amazing experience especially for people who are a bit anxious to start driving. Clyde was helpful, funny, and an overall great teacher. Very flexible with working around work schedules and appointments and always very responsive. Today was the day of my driving test and I passed, truly have nothing but great things to say about the driving school. Thank you guys so much.
Fantastic experience: Great service got license in first attempt thank you for your service
Fantastic experience: I had a lot of driving anxiety, but after my lessons, I feel much better behind the wheel! Mr. Clyde was fun and really knew his stuff!! We had a lot of laughs throughout our lessons. They also are very flexible and can work with your schedule AND the prices are great!!
Fantastic experience: I am pleased to have had Kevin as my driving instructor he was very calm and patient which helped me become more comfortable behind the wheel.
Fantastic experience: The process was smooth and friendly. I got my license on my first attempt.
Fantastic experience: Clyde was very patient and made the learning process easy.
Fantastic experience: Clyde & Kevin were very professional, taught me how to drive safely and they arrived on time when scheduled. The 10 hour package took me from a beginner to being confident to drive safely. I passed the road test on the 1st try with no issues.
Fantastic experience: We used A Value Driving School to prepare for the road test. We purchased the 5 hour package and it was perfect for our needs. Clyde & Kevin were courteous, professional, and they arrived on time when scheduled. My son passed the road test on the 1st try with no issues after practicing with A Value Driving. Did I mention their prices are very reasonable as well. We appreciate and recommend their service. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: My instructor was amazing, he was very thorough and professional. I highly recommend A Value drive driving school to any adult learners.
Negative experience: My friend Suriya took driving lessons here as an international student who is a nontraditional adult driver. Clyde is a terrible person. He cancelled last minute for most of his lessons and made it difficult and exhausting to reschedule. He once got mad at Suriya for coming outside for the appointment 5 minutes later than originally scheduled and decided to cancel half the lesson without reimbursement. Keep in mind he was regularly late and cancelled his lessons frequently himself. He also said that Suriya was completely ready for his driving test without teaching him how to park, drive around hills, or reverse. He ended up failing the test for 4 different violations due to Clyde’s poor teaching abilities. He is rude to clients, thinks the whole world revolves around him, and buys or convinces people to leave positive reviews to drown out the excessive negative ones. Kevin (his son) is good but dealing with Clyde makes this place NOT worth it. Go literally anywhere else.
Fantastic experience: As an adult driver with minimal driving experience and hardly any idea about the traffic rules in this country, signing up for the 10 hour package was the best thing I did. My instructor, Clyde, was simply amazing. He was kind yet firm, and I can safely say that my driving improved after every class. Shoutout to Kevin as well who accompanied me to the test that I aced on my first attempt. My examiner in fact, thought I was an experienced driver. Lol!
Fantastic experience: It’s was great helped me pass driving test from first time good teaching
Fantastic experience: 5/5 stars definitely would recommend . It was great from the first course to the last and I received my license on the first attempt.
Fantastic experience: I took 5hr driving lessons with Kevin and passed with flying colors:)
Fantastic experience: An amazing driving school! I passed the test in ONE go. Thank you so much Mr. Clyde, Mr.Glenn, and Mr. Kevin
Fantastic experience: Getting back in the road after a long break from driving can be a little scary but Clyde was very patient with me and showed me the do’s and don’t of theses North Carolina streets. Thank you Clyde for helping me get back out of my comfort zone!
Fantastic experience: My son recently receive his driver's license after taking the 10 hour drive course with the instructor kevin.my son has autism so I was nervous about the whole process. my husband and I have tried several different service with no success. Kevin seem to be the key for my so success. Kevin was very patient and able to break things down to my down in a manner he understood. I really appreciate A value driving school and would 100% recommend.
Fantastic experience: "OMG, just snagged my license Shoutout to Kevin, he was – super patient and got me through on my first test! 5 stars, would def recommend this diving school
Negative experience: This isn't personal. Just business. And it's from my honest opinion. I think most of the 4 star reviews are bought or incentivized. I felt like I wasted $500 on this driving school. I would've spent even more money somewhere else if I would've known it would benefit her in the longterm. Her driving lessons were rescheduled several times which was very inconvenient. They didn't offer any additional hours to cover for their lack of planning or whatever happened that caused them to reschedule several times. She was never taught parallel parking either. She complained that Mr. Clyde was impatient and made her nervous. She stated they Mr. Kevin was patient and had a teaching style that made her feel comfortable. I would not recommend this driving school to anyone
Fantastic experience: Definitely helped me so much with being a safe driver. Thanks to Kevin I was able to get my license!! I definitely recommend!
Fantastic experience: Kevin was a great driving instructor for me and my son, he was extremely professional and understanding, always answered our questions and was always punctual, would recommend!
Fantastic experience: Clyde is a great driving instructor and was great at relieving my anxiety while driving. I cannot recommend this school enough! I’m now licensed thanks to him!
Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough wonderful things about Clyde at A Value Driving School. My son was a non-traditional adult driving student and Clyde was just perfect - firm yet kind and always with safety as his utmost priority. My son passed his driver's test on the first try and it was absolutely because of Clyde's excellent teaching. I have given his number to many other parents since our experience and will continue to do so. We are so grateful for him and his expertise.
Fantastic experience: I took the 10-hour package with Clyde and Kevin it was great!!! I got my driver's license on the first attempt!!! Please try them!!!
Fantastic experience: Kevin was very helpful, knowledgeable. Easy to work with and easy to communicate with. A great experience!
Fantastic experience: Very good Kevin Very reliable On time
Fantastic experience: Kevin was a great instructor! I took the 5 hour package and he was very helpful, sharing what tips are important for the test. I passed on the first try due to his great teaching.
Fantastic experience: I took 12 hours of lessons from Kevin and got my driver's license!
Fantastic experience: Safety was clearly Clyde's top priority, as he consistently emphasized the importance of defensive driving techniques and being aware of my surroundings. This not only improved my driving skills but also instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility on the road. What truly sets Clyde apart is their passion for teaching. It's evident that his genuinely care about their students' progress and take pride in helping them become safe and skilled drivers. His positive attitude and unwavering patience created an environment that fostered learning and growth.

Fantastic experience: Kevin is everything you could wish for from a driving instructor. His mannerisms and professionalism was impeccable.He was reliable and patient and he always made me feel relaxed and safe. His method of teaching was brilliant..Kevin would brake things down into stages so that it was much easier to grasp. I would definitely be recommending family or friends to this wonderful establishment..

Fantastic experience: Thank you, Mr. Clyde for being so patient with me. I enjoyed my experience with him. And I got my license. I will highly recommend him for anyone. Thank you again
Positive experience: Great teaching, I noticed a very sizable improvement in my driving skills over the course of my lessons. The only issue was scheduling, but it was not enough to mess with the experience badly. Would reccomend!
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my 10 hour driving lessons with Clyde!! Kevin was also helpful as my driving test day approaches. They both have helped me become an attentive driver. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: A value drive driving school is awesome! A friend of mine referred me to the school, and I signed my son up for the 10 hour package. Mr.Kevin was patient, kind and very knowledgeable. I had several scheduled conflicts and they were understanding and willing to work with me, and best of all!! My son passed his driver's test and received his license! Call A Value Drive Driving School today!
Negative experience: I paid for 10 hours of lessons up front, was provided 2 hours until the instructor was injured. After a month of reschedules, I was told I would be provided with a full refund. I still have not been received a refund despite being told it was coming for over a month. (Edit: I was paid the refund 4 months later.)
Fantastic experience: Kevin is such a patient instructor. He was also easy to talk to and never made me feel uncomfortable or nervous. I have some anxiety but I enjoyed our lessons. I also love the fact he was accommodating with my schedule. Did a 5hr course as an adult driver since I wasn’t sure how many I would need so if you want to do a refresher course definitely reach out to this company!
Fantastic experience: I would HIGHLY recommend this driving school!! I took lessons with Clyde and it was great. Passed on my first attempt and he is very patient and is willing to help you!
Negative experience: Value driving school is aimed to help the driver improve or lay the foundation for first-time driving. The instructor I was working with was named Clyde he was a great person but a terrible instructor. He made numerous smart remarks about other students and openly shared their business with me, I found this to be very unprofessional and distracting at times. He was also very inconsistent with the timing. First-time drivers need to be aware of this, the timing is absolutely horrendous. I had a remainder of four hours worth of driving lessons that were being constantly changed at very inconvenient hours. I had to end up requesting a refund do to the constant schedule changes. Now I will say that you must have open availability and work around their schedule which is completely understandable but what is the point if they are constantly changing days and canceling on you? This was the case with me and many other's poor scheduling and a significant amount of cancellations. I am yet to get my refund for the remaining four lessons (220$ usd). In conclusion, value driving is not the worst possible school but there are most definitely better options available do not limit yourself when it comes to driving.
Fantastic experience: I was very nervous going into this, but Clyde was extremely patient, calm, and reassuring. Even after just a few lessons, I felt much more confident behind the wheel. I just finished my last lesson and I’m confident that I’m going to pass my driving test.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school, you learn the basic, get good practice and confidence in driving! Highly recommend Clyde as instructor!
Negative experience: Instrutor was named Clyde, as a matter of a fact he wasn’t even my instructor yet. Every time I asked how he wanted to be paid he was ignore it not only that but I have a very busy schedule with work and college applications, but I still let him pick the schedule and time so it is ALWAYS when he is free; then how do you change the SCHEDULE THAT YOU PICK over and over. It is TAKING UP MY TIME, again MY TIME IS WASTED. I have work everyday so I have to call in and say I can’t work then this man cancels on me. He is so rude to even call my family rude and COMPLICATED for asking a few questions to confirm how lessons will work. So from my understanding this man named Clyde here clearly doesn’t want to have any customers. Did I mention he is lazy; he so hard to understand so a few repeat responses made him unstable. IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD. Everybody take a word from me if you end up getting Clyde, DONT do it. Save yourself the trouble and time.
Fantastic experience: I had the great pleasure of having Clyde as my driving instructor. Clyde has one of those personalities that you can’t find anywhere else! He has a great passion for his work, and teaches in a way that’s EASY and PERSONABLE. I highly recommend Clyde. Not only as an instructor, but as a caring individual who loves what he does! Don’t wait if you’re looking for an instructor. BOOK HIM IMMEDIATELY! There’s a reason he’s always busy with clients! Clyde offers a teaching style that is unique, entertaining, & lasts a lifetime! very much worth the investment! Clyde, thank you for teaching me. I drive much more safely because of you.
Fantastic experience: Good communication, absolute patience , and a friendly environment you won’t regret choosing this driving school.
Fantastic experience: I had a short amount of time to get my license, and Clyde was very flexible and helpful and gave me great instruction to get my Drivers License.
Fantastic experience: Very funny guy. Good experience! I recommend everyone ride with him for the first time.
Negative experience: The driving instructor - Clyde is really good at his job, he did teach me some good driving practices, however, he was extremely irregular. He took 9 classes over a period of 4 months. If you want to learn driving in a short period of time, please do not join this school. My friend joined for 10 classes, could complete only 5 (in 2 months) since she had to move out of Raleigh for new job, they said they would refund her for the remaining 5 classes, but they didn’t. Clyde would keep postponing every class for random reasons( like the weather is not good or the car is broke) that’s why it took me 4 months to compete 9 classes. So if you have time and patience you can join here, but if you want to learn driving within a month or so, you can rent enterprise or something and practice rather than paying 500$ here.
Fantastic experience: I took the 10 hour driving package lessons and past my DMV road test for my driving license on my 1st attempt. Clyde was very patient and very pleasant while instructing me on my driving lessons. Thank you Clyde, i will recommend this driving school to anyone wanting to learn how to drive !!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this driving school. They were very professional the communication was excellent and most importantly my daughter passed her road on the first try! I'd like to add that it's affordable!
Fantastic experience: I contacted Value Driving School to assist with teaching my niece how to drive. She had no experience with driving and wanted to get her license to be able to drive herself to work and etc... She was so nervous but Mr. Clyde was the best thing we could have encountered. He was patient and encouraging for my niece. After her lesson we scheduled her test and she is now a licensed driver. I don't know who is happier her or myself she said she could not have done it without Mr. Clyde. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much please stay safe on the road you both were awesome
Fantastic experience: I reached out to A Value Drive Driving School because COVID really threw a wrench in our driving plans for our youngest son. There just weren't enough opportunities to go out and let him get the experience he needed. He needed time behind the wheel with a professional to gain confidence and experience in order to get his license - and Clyde helped him do just that! Now he has his license, is doing a great job driving to and from work, and gaining more independence. Thank you, Clyde!
Thank you so much it was a pleasure
Positive experience: I have had 0 experience when it came to driving. I was nervous because nobody in my family has ever taught me how to drive. Teacher Clyde helped me with building my confidence on the road and to trust myself. Even though there were minor setbacks to my lessons, I left with knowing the basics of driving.
Positive experience: Mr.Clyde , what can I said very professional, very patience, great instructor and very helpful .
Fantastic experience: I enjoyed my driving lessons with my teacher higly recomend for learners

Fantastic experience: I took a 10 hour lesson with Clyde, and it has been a great experience. I'm someone who had no prior driving experience whatsoever, but Clyde's teaching methods were so good that I got my driver's license in just 5 lessons. He knows exactly what to teach and how. He is patient, understanding and overall a great driving instructor. I'm so thankful that I found this driving school. I gained so much confidence because he teaches real life driving (which is what you need). I recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn how to drive!!
Thank you for choosing our driving school it was a real pleasure working with you and we appreciate your business
Fantastic experience: I had never driven a car for longer than 30 mins, but that all changed when I booked driving lessons with Clyde! Clyde is a very attentive, patient, and knowledgable individual. He has extensive experience in teaching people with various backgrounds how to drive, and it shows! I struggled with my own anxiety of driving on the road, but driving with Clyde made it feel like nothing. Within a few months of classes, I was able to build my confidence on the road and obtain my license. Very accommodating, open communication, and flexible with scheduling. I couldn't recommend him and the school more!

Fantastic experience: I love this school , it’s so professional and the driver is really cool and helps you understand!
I really enjoyed working with you on your behind the wheel driving lessons
Positive experience: Clyde was really great at instilling confidence in my dormant driving skills and re-acclimating me with the road. I came from a major city and had spent 10 years without driving and needed a refresher now that I am living in the suburbs. We did a variety of locations with varying levels of busyness. Clyde stresses fundamentals and defensive driving which is very helpful to a new driver.
Fantastic experience: Awesome experience. He helped me really get to know the area and boost my confidence. Mr Clyde was very patient!
Thank you pls stay safe on the road
Fantastic experience: Clyde was very prompt and always on time. He was patient with my son and did a great job teaching him how to be a defensive and informed driver. As a parent, this is money well spent.
Fantastic experience: I've had a great experience so far with this driving school. Classes are a good value and the instructor Clyde is very polite and professional. I recommend for anyone who wants to learn to drive or improve their skills.
Negative experience: Unfortunately my experience was a nightmare, all I have learned was confusing instructions and more frustration all the way.
This is a bogus review we have no clue who this is that is trying on purpose to hurt our school.this is a fake review by someone
Fantastic experience: Clyde is a very Professional Instructor who emphasises on following road safety rules. He is very punctual and is one of the best instructors that anyone can get. The most valuable part of the course was the 10 hours of behind-the-wheel driving instruction. He was kind and gentle and gave me very detailed, thorough instruction. I really appreciate how much he stressed responsible driving, and defensive driving. I got practice with country roads, urban areas, residential areas, and highways, as well as practicing the skills needed to pass my road test. Thank you Clyde Thompson and A Value Drive Driving School. I highly recommend this school to everyone.
Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my time taking my driving lessons it was fun.very patient instructor it was a great experience I learned a lot. They taught me about defensive driving as well as paying attention on the road at all times
