Fantastic experience: After researching the options for driver's training for my daughter we decided the drive from North Richland was worth it for top notch and we have not been disappointed.

Fantastic experience: We needed a place for our son to attend drivers Ed and Top-Notch has been great so far! As a professional Firefighter I have an odd schedule and they are very accommodating and helpful. We like the instructors and when I am out driving with him he talks about the “rules” so he is retaining the information. They are super friendly and I would recommend them to everyone! We will definitely keep bringing our kids to Top-Notch.
Fantastic experience: I can't add more than the people already said about the place and specifically how she makes you feel comfortable and confident. The best driving school without a doubt...
Fantastic experience: I really can’t say enough good things about Top-Notch.

She has absolutely nothing but positives to say about her experience here. Money well spent, every last penny.
Fantastic experience: I’m a PNNL staff member, and I recently completed my driving lessons at Top-Notch Driving School. I cannot express enough how satisfied I am with the entire experience.

She is not only knowledgeable about the rules of the road but also incredibly patient and supportive. As a nervous beginner driver, I appreciated her calm demeanor and encouraging attitude, which helped me gain confidence behind the wheel with each lesson. I feel much more equipped to handle various driving situations confidently and responsibly thanks to the thorough safety training provided by Top-Notch Driving School. I wholeheartedly recommend Top-Notch Driving School to anyone looking to learn how to drive. Whether you're a complete beginner or seeking to improve your skills, Top-Notch Driving School provides an exceptional learning experience that is both educational and enjoyable. Thanks to their expert instruction and comprehensive curriculum, I feel confident and prepared to embark on my journey as a licensed driver.

Fantastic experience: We used the one-day package, and the team did a wonderful job. Great, concise, practical content that got the job done, not just in the material but also how to handle being tested on it. Being able to ask questions and converse about the material made a big difference in our teen’s learning process. Worked great for our family. Much appreciated!
Thank you for the kind words!! We are so glad that it worked out well for you all! Thank you for the review and coming in!
Fantastic experience: I am posting this as someone who was already driving car in my native country since a decade before coming here. So I didn’t require driving lesson. I contacted the school for my knowledge and skill test. The instructor provided me with a website name where I found some good mock tests , cleared the knowledge test , then immediately took Demo class + Skill test combo , the instructor explained me about the do’s and don’ts of the driving in the demo class and then took me for the skill test which I cleared. So if you are somebody like me who knows driving already and need a USA driving license , you should definitely visit top notch driving school.
Thank you for choosing us!! Drive safe!
Fantastic experience: Great instructors, super nice! Great at telling you what you did wrong for future improvement!
