Thank you, Quarmaine! I'm so glad that Jon was able to help you finally get your license
Fantastic experience: I recently completed the teen driving course, which included an 8-hour classroom session and two 3-hour driving lessons. Going into it, I had very little experience in traffic, and I was upfront about that with my instructor, Jon. From start to finish, the experience was amazing. The 8-hour classroom session was very informative and comfortable. The instructor made sure every student understood just how serious driving is and why it should always be taken seriously. I felt respected and heard throughout. My driving instructor, Jon, was incredible. He was calm, understanding, and really helped ease my stress. He didn’t just teach me the basics required by the DMV—he went above and beyond. He made sure I was familiar with roads that locals in Aiken drive on regularly and taught me real-world skills that are valuable for everyday life as a car owner. Once I gained confidence, Jon even took me driving on Whiskey Road. That was a huge confidence boost. If you can handle Whiskey Road, you can handle just about anything! His explanations of the basic skills were super clear and easy to follow. After our conversations and lessons, it’s obvious that Jon truly cares about his students and genuinely wants to see them succeed. The customer service from the academy was also top-notch. The owners were so kind and flexible with scheduling—as long as you give 24 hours' notice, rescheduling is no problem. Everyone at the academy clearly cares about teaching and creating safe, confident drivers. I couldn’t recommend this academy more. If you're looking for a driving school that genuinely cares about their students and provides excellent instruction, this is the place to go!
James, thank you!! This is the most thorough review I've had the pleasure of reading, and I can't tell you how much we appreciate your support and the positive feedback. You have truly made me happy, and I can't wait to share your words with Jon!
Fantastic experience: Great teachers and there always there to help, great experience I would recommend

Fantastic experience: I enjoyed the experience
I'm so glad to hear that! We really do try to make this process as simple and as positive as possible. Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: The 8 hour class is pretty boring but it gives you all the information you need to be a safe driver, onto the actuall driving lessons, I had Mr. Jon. Really awesome guy and will keep conversations going to make you feel relaxed, he will show you what mistakes you make and how to fix them. Over all, really chill guy and he takes his time teaching you. I had a great experience here and passed my test with only 6 points! I really recommend this to anyone trying to get their license, as it is easy and a relaxing environment. Cash Moore.
