Fantastic experience: Ean was recommended to us from friends and family and now I'm doing the same! I have a high level of driving anxiety, I knew I needed to find someone to help my son practice driving that would be not only knowledgeable but also personable, professional, and calm, lol unlike me. Ean is easy to talk to and responsive to any questions or concerns.

Fantastic experience: Ean was a great partner for me while I was learning to drive, and he was with me from when I was still relatively new to when I became experienced enough that I felt I could go for my driving test. He was professional where it mattered, yet friendly during the process so that I never felt nervous or pressured. Ean lets you take things at your own pace even if he has a guideline for you and he knows where he's going, so you never have to worry about where to turn when you're focused on everything else. I'm glad he was my instructor!

Fantastic experience: If you’re the parent of a teen driver, don’t think twice about professional driving lessons with Ean Costenbader and book sessions now. His calm and laid back demeanor was exactly what my teen driver needed when practicing for her license. His instruction gave her a lot of confidence and she’s able to easily handle highway and city driving. It was a great investment that pays for itself with insurance discounts.

Ali Reed 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a little hesitant at first to take driving lessons- I was worried the instructor would be mean or intimidating or that I would be judged harshly for my driving skills - but Ean was incredibly amiable and made every direction and lesson he taught very easy to learn. I was always very comfortable driving with him and absolutely learned vital information I wouldn’t have gotten otherwise. He was also very flexible with scheduling and figuring out when we could schedule lessons, or change lesson times. I couldn’t think of a better person to help inexperienced drivers feel confident behind the wheel, his service is worth much more than the cost.

Paul Gant 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: After taking my twin daughters out driving in anticipation for their PA drivers road course exam, I was no longer making an impression on them while I was becoming more frustrated with each trip out on the roadways. My wife thought perhaps a driving instructor may help while I was somewhat skeptical. After calling several different schools, we decided to go with Ean for a variety reasons including being promt on returning calls and answering any questions you had. At the end of the day both my girls passed their road course exam. Ean did everything that he said he was going to do, there were no surprises and both my young daughters felt rather comfortable with him. They stated that he taught them some things that perhaps I may have skipped over. After six lessons per person, if I was asked were the driving lessons with Ean worth it? My response would be to say absolutely. Lastly, depending on your car insurance provider, you may also be able to receive a young driver discount with the six road lessons along with meeting some other criteria which I believe is twenty-four hours of class/video sessions as an accepted standard for most insurance companies.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely recommend him. He is so patient, a great teacher and really helps you learn everything you can think of about driving. Today was my first lesson and already I feel so comfortable driving. Before having lessons, I was super anxious and scared to drive. After just one hour I feel so great driving and I am no longer terrified. I definitely suggest getting lessons from him you won’t be disappointed!!!

kelly kroboth 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Ean immediately put my daughter at ease behind the wheel, calmly talked her through processes and explained many procedures as they were in their lessons. She was far more confident and less anxious with his lessons. Her final lesson included taking her driving test because she felt less pressure than taking it with a family member. She passed and we are all feeling more confident in her driving abilities!!

Owen Felty 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. Ean provides all the information needed to become a successful driver. He is calm and provides insightful instruction throughout the entire course. All components of the course felt professional and there was not one time I felt unsafe. On every lesson I learned something new, each area we drove provided a vital component of the learning experience. I now feel comfortable operating a vehicle thanks to this course.
