Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with Reliable Driving Lessons, especially with my instructor, Saro. It was my first time ever driving, and I was pretty nervous at first, but Saro was extremely patient and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. He explained everything thoroughly, step by step, and ensured I understood the rules of the road. Thanks to his guidance, after just 10 hours of lessons, I was able to drive confidently without needing my parents’ help—I could just get in the car and go! I highly recommend Saro and Reliable Driving Lessons to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive instructor.
Fantastic experience: I very highly recommend Reliable Driving Lessons for your children and for your personal needs. I had an amazing experience with Saro!

Thanks to Saro’s help, I passed on my first try and now feel confident on the road. I’d highly recommend him to anyone learning to drive.
Positive experience: Will update the review if we end up using this company for driving lessons, but my experience so far with its administration has been dismal so I'm not sure I would choose to do business here. The website claims they offer online driver's ed along with the driver training, but they in fact only offer driver training. You have to complete driver's ed elsewhere, rather than it being included in the pricing here as is stated on the website. One place in the website also claims they offer manual driving training, which is not the case. The links to "enroll" lead to a Contact Us form rather than actually enrolling, which should be a basic process of filling in information, not having to contact them first. That did actually turn out in my favor, as I found out about the website's discrepancies before paying anything. I like the reviews of the behind-the-wheel experience, but they actually feel somewhat scripted, and the claims on the website of the training they provide now seem dubious given the unreliable nature of the other information provided there.

Fantastic experience: I’ve been trying to get my license for a while now and have gotten the best results from this place! the instructor (Saro) will teach you every important step to take for not only the test, but to be a good driver from that point on. He covered every little detail when it came to driving, as each test would be graded differently depending on where you went- but with his teaching style no matter where you went to take your test you would be more than prepared :)
Fantastic experience: I dont know where to start from. I have been driving for years but was always scared of freeway driving. I never wanted to drive on freeway. When I was refereed by a friend to try reliable driving lessons o has a fear but I had to try. When I met the instructor for first time, the first 10 minutes he explained details about diving and he also explained why I am scared of freeway. Omg I cant explain how comfortable I felt after the first lesson driving on freeway. I feel freedom driving on freeway now. He saved my live and my time driving on streets to get to wor . His the most knowledgeable, intelligent instructor I have ever me . Not only he teaches driving lesson but also gave me physiological lessons which I really needed to ease my stress. Thank you so much to Sar . I will never forget your given lessons all my life. Thank you to reliable driving lessons.
Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor; lots of information, but don't let it scare you! Just take your time and listen.
Fantastic experience: I want to thank my instructor He was very patient with me I told him that it was easier to choose a Spanish instructor but I wanted the challenge of having an instructor that speak just English so I can learn more and improve mi English On my head I knew how to drive but once I started I learned so many things that I was not aware and that I was doing incorrect I like that he picked me up on my house every lesson and dropped me off too They were very flexible with my schedule and always found a time for me. I chose to get the DMV Test + 2 lessons and I can say it is worth it Also we practice one hour more before the DMV Test I don't have a lot of family here that can take me to DMV and the few I have are always busy or working so this was a great option for me I passed my test on Thursday. I was so happy, I was thinking it was impossible!!! Thank you Realible Driving Lessons

Fantastic experience: Hi my name is Andre, I got my license recently a couple months ago and wanted to share some insight on my learning experience. I definitely think that this driving instructor(his name is Saro) is the best there is. I had tried other driving schools, but to be honest with you Saro is the best there is. He gives good feedback, makes sure you are comfortable on the road when driving, and has reasonably great prices. I did about 10 hours of driving just because I wasn't too comfortable on the road and passed my driving test the first time. This driving school, Reliable Driving Lessons is a great place to learn and you are guaranteed on passing your driving test the first time!

Fantastic experience: I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Reliable Driving Lessons and Saro the amazing instructor I worked with. I recently took driving lessons with them to prepare for my driving test as a foreigner and honestly it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. This school is so flexible and convenient. Their customers service perfect. A lady named Anna was so polite and patient answering all my questions. If you are looking to learn how to drive or improve your driving skills, I highly recommend Reliable Driving Lessons. Thank you Saro and Reliable Driving Lessons for all your help and for making the entire experience so enjoyable.

Fantastic experience: I did my first driver's test last year and failed. I am a foreigner with a European license and I have been driving for more than 10 years, but nerves betrayed me the first time. For peace of mind, I booked an hour before the test because I did not want a repeat of the first attempt. Sam was knowledgeable, encouraging and calming. He made me feel sure, and during the exam, I felt like I did great, and luckily, I passed. Even though I am an experienced driver, tests are not my forte, and Sam's help was invaluable! ¡Muchas gracias!
Thank you for choosing Reliable Driving Lessons in Burbank, CA!

Thank you so much for choosing Reliable Private Driving Lessons with us. We wish him best of luck in driving!
Fantastic experience: Sam is the best! My daughter passed on her 1st behind-the-wheel and apparently she had the strictest DMV examiner for the road tests. This company prepares your teen to pass. Only advice is to hire them also for the day of the road test to practice an hour before and use their vehicle (which your teen is familiar in driving in already).

Thank you millions for sharing your great experience with Reliable Driving Lessons in Burbank, CA
Negative experience: I hate to write this review because this is a small business owner trying to make his mark. However, I was really disappointed in the scheduling as well as Sam's argumentative disposition with my daughter. Sam seems to be really busy, which is great, however, he kept changing the time he would show up and on the second appointment was 30 minutes late. He called to say, "I'm on my way". I told him my daughter had an appointment before I made the driving session. As far as her driving experience, he was aggressive and argumentative when she asked questions. The first session he was fine, but the second session totally different. He was impatient and made her nervous. Not what I would expect when teaching a student how to drive.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your review. Thank you for providing your feedback and letting us know about this issue. We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience. We are working hard to improve our service and will do whatever we can to make things right! Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
Fantastic experience: My son took his 6 hour btw training with Sam and he was very pleased. He liked how knowledgeable and patient Sam was with him. He was very kind and thorough. I highly recommend Sam for behind the wheel training. During this crazy time of Covid, Sam was very clean and wore a mask and provided hand sanitizer. He made me feel very comfortable teaching my son. Thank you Sam!!
