Life Driving Academy - Novi

Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Life Driving Novi! The Jeep Wrangler they provide is practically brand new and always spotless. Everyone I spoke to over the phone was incredibly kind, especially Avery, who was always helpful and friendly. My instructor for the 10-hour lessons was Tom O’Callaghan, and I couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. He’s calm, patient, and genuinely encouraging. From the very first lesson, he believed in me and helped build my confidence behind the wheel. If there was anything I didn’t understand or wanted to review, even multiple times, he was more than willing to go over it until I felt comfortable. I highly recommend taking lessons with him—he played a huge role in helping me pass my driving test. The five drives felt like the perfect amount of time to cover everything thoroughly. Overall, Life Driving Academy is a wonderful family-run business that genuinely cares about your success.

Fantastic experience: Life driving academy was the best education I’ve ever gotten. Tom was my instructor and not only did he make all the lessons and teachings fun and enjoyable but also got me driving confidently by the end of the first drive. After that I easily went through the drives barely making mistakes because of Tom’s excellent skills as a teacher. We went on main roads, downtowns, highways, and freeways with Tom teaching me everything I would ever need to know. There Jeeps are perfect and ensure our safety.
