Fantastic experience: In the heart of the city, there’s a place so rare, A driving school that’s beyond compare. Where the roads seem smooth, the sky is clear, And the lessons are full of joy, not fear. The cars line up, all polished with pride, Ready to take you on that first sweet ride. But the real magic, the special art, Comes from Mr. Akers, who leads with heart. His patience endless, his wisdom wide, With every lesson, he’s right by your side. He teaches the rules, but more than that, He shows you courage where once you sat. In his voice, calm waves of ease, He turns beginners into pros with peace. Through every corner, every twist and bend, He’s the teacher, the mentor, the steadfast friend. The most beautiful driving school, it’s known by name, But Mr. Akers is the heart of its fame. With his guidance, you’ll steer with grace, On every road, in every place.

Fantastic experience: In the classroom bright, with patience vast, Stood Mr. Akers, guiding me at last. With maps and lessons, he charted the way, Transforming my fears into confidence each day. Behind the wheel, he sat by my side, Calm in the chaos, a trusted guide. Through stops and turns, with laughter and cheer, He taught me the rules, made the path clear. “Just breathe,” he’d say, “take it slow and see, Driving's an art, let it flow naturally.” With every maneuver, my skills grew refined, His faith in me sparked the drive in my mind. The day of the test, I felt a mix of dread, But his words echoed softly, “Go forth, be led.” With each turn I took, I felt him there still, A mentor, a friend, instilling the will. Now I’m on the road, with freedom to roam, Thanks to Mr. Akers, I’ve found my way home. A teacher, a guide, in lessons so wise, He helped me take flight, to reach for the skies.

Fantastic experience: King George is the best and you should promote him

Fantastic experience: King George (Blough) is the best teacher i have ever had. His teaching skills are unmatched. Nothing comes even close to the glorious King George. He comes into class with the exact same positive attitude and style every day that everyone loves. What a guy. He’s the goat. Thanks King George

Fantastic experience: The best experience of my life. I wouldn’t trade these two hours every Sunday for anything. King George really brought this class to life!

Fantastic experience: King George is the goat. Great class and ends with best party everrrrr

Fantastic experience: George blough was an amazing instructor taught us all very adequately. He set us up very well for the final exam. I feel very confident about driving now thank to Mr. King George. It was the best 15 weeks of my life. Great class and fun activities. Not to brag but my table one the competitions. Thank you drivers education for making driving fun!

Fantastic experience: King George is the best ever I have recommend his palace we a watched a great movie and talked about spdr babies Helped me become a safe driver

Fantastic experience: The class was really helpful for me to get my drivers permit and liscense and they also had us do a 50 page packet with all of the information for us to be safe drivers. My instructor was Mr. Blough (George) and he was REALLY nice and made the class enjoyable to learn.

Negative experience: Top driver is a very unorganized and a complete waste of money. Other than the actual teaching part of thing in the classroom, it was a terrible experience. For the cost you would expect this establishment to be very professional but of course if you call customer service they connect you to someone all the way in Ohio. I had 8 driving lessons that I was supposed to take but after a whole year after I had finished classes I had only completed 2 due to the incompetence of assigning lessons to students. Every single time we had to schedule a lesson it was totally booked and I actually got my license completely without the help from the lessons, a complete waste of money. Not only that but I had a lesson planned with an instructor, who called me to tell me he was here and he was not. When we tried to call him to know where he was, he wouldn't pick up. Absolute disgrace and waste of money, just stick to your school drivers ed or any other driving school

Fantastic experience: This is our second time using Top Driver for our kids. Our 1st was just before Covid and our 2nd was during Covid. During Covid it’s been quite frustrating for booking behind the wheel sessions. You are only allowed to book the 1st Wednesday of the month at noon and it’s quite a race to get classes. The classes are all booked for the month by 12:10 pm. There were 2 months that I wasn’t able to book any classes. This is horrible and really unacceptable. Now the good, George Blough! He is a phenomenal instructor and has been great in helping to schedule classes where schedules allow. He is extremely passionate about his job and enjoys teaching kids to drive. He explains exactly what they should be doing rather than talking at them on what they’ve done. Top Driver Hinsdale is extremely lucky to have him. I give them 5 stars because of George otherwise due tot he scheming issues it would be a 3 1/2.

Negative experience: We were happy with the classroom instruction, but once your kid gets their permit and Behind The Wheel sessions are supposed to start, forget it. They have this insane scheduling where they only open up slots once a month on the on-line calendar for 45 days in advance, you can only book two dates, and they must be at least two weeks apart. It's like a feeding frenzy on that date with everyone desperately trying to snag some dates for their kid. We didn't manage to get any dates for our daughter in over 3 months! Over the year I made numerous calls to customer service who said 'that was the only way to schedule, there was an overflow due to Covid, keep trying every month', blah blah blah. Then with 4 months to go before my daughter's permit expires, they tell me that with current availability there is no way she can fit all of her behind the wheel lessons in on time. I was furious. We ended up going with another company strictly for the in-car lessons, and Top Driver begrudgingly gave me a partial refund. They then revoked my daughter's permit from the Sec. of State just to be mean-spirited. And they did this to 9 other families who pulled out of their program for the same reason. FIND ANOTHER COMPANY!!!

Fantastic experience: While the challenges of scheduling driving lessons on Top Drivers website during the COVID backup were significant and frustrated me immensely, I was always amazed that my son enjoyed going to the classes and looked forward to his driving lessons. The passion and knowledge of the instructors like George Blough and his commitment to turning out good drivers is where Top Driver shines.

Fantastic experience: George was an excellent instructor. Very positive and reassuring.

Negative experience: I regret not going through the High School. This has been a pain to schedule. If you miss any classes you will need to wait a month plus to retake. The only way to get in car sessions scheduled is to go online at 9am the fifteenth of every month and deal with the overloaded website to grab whatever you can get. Limit is 2 sessions a month so you will need to repeat this each month. On October 15th I tried to schedule classes and the website was so unresponsive I had to wait over 1/2 hour to get into the actual scheduler. By 9:30 the only classes left were for the days right after Christmas. I will need to do the same thing on the 15th of this month to get our next class scheduled. Please think twice before going with them. There is nothing special about the instruction and not worth the waste of time to schedule.

Fantastic experience: Very helpful and provided great feedback.

Fantastic experience: They are the top at teaching driver intelligence. I went here one summer for morning classes and then through out the next year, we scheduled driver's lessons. In the morning summer classes there are videos, stories, graphs, workbooks, notes, and guides which was fun I guess. Good places nearby to buy snacks or something to drink for when your in class, or places to eat at before or after classes. Parking is available if you don't get picked up/dropped off.

Fantastic experience: Virgil kept the class very engaging and entertaining.

Fantastic experience: Top driver is a professional driving school. They take the business of teaching our youths seriously and enforce the mission of top driver and the laws of the state. Thank you for a job well done!

Fantastic experience: By far the most responsible school.

Fantastic experience: We were very pleased with the Top Driver classes, as well as the driving instruction received from Mr. Virgil. Despite my teen's busy schedule, they made it possible to get all the classes and driving lessons completed without a hassle. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: We sent our daughter to Top Driver in Western Springs when she was in high school in 1999. Since we had such a great experience with Top Driver back then, we decided to send our Grandson to Top Driver in Hinsdale due to the conflict with his schedule, he went on Sundays. He has learned the fundamentals for driving and is a very law abiding driver. He was nervous about his behind the wheel on the streets but he is okay when I ask him to drive me somewhere. I would recommend Top Driver to anyone who asks.

Fantastic experience: My son really learned a lot from Top Driver. I highly recommend trying to take the class from Mr. Virgil as well as the driving experiences. He really knows his way around all moving vehicles. He does not let the kids get away with goofing off in class, but he still makes it fun. He knows that this is serious business putting a teenager behind the wheel of a several thousand pound vehicle. He really helps them understand that behind the wheel is not a playground or a place to do social media. All their attention needs to be on the vehicle and the road around them.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter had a very positive experience at Top Driver. The instructors were thoughtful and thorough and really cared about teaching driver safety. It's such a stressful experience when your child is learning to drive but I feel like she got the best instruction! We also loved the convenience of the new location..
