Sam's Driving School - now a part of Coastline Academy

Fantastic experience: Sylvester, my driving instructor, was incredibly patient and supportive throughout my lesson. He always gave clear instructions and stayed calm, even when I made mistakes, which helped build my confidence. Thanks to Sylvester, I’ve learned how to drive safely.

Fantastic experience: Love it here

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school! I joined because my best friend recommended it for me although it’s a little far from our homes, I would definitely recommend to anyone!! Make sure you book your lessons with Linda Raven she is the absolute best instructor especially for parallel parking coming from someone who was absolutely terrified (and terrible haha) at parallel parking. I loved all of the instructors I had they’re all very nice people and very patient but Linda will definitely be one of my top favorites!!

Fantastic experience: Great school! I have had 2 go through and about to have another. Very easy to sign up and get going and you take your driving test there vice the DMV,

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor, customer service, all best. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I just passed my road driving test today! All thanks to Sir Marlon he thought me everything I need to do before we start the test. I highly recommend this driving school to everyone.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely helpful teacher! Explanations and preparation if students are so professional!

Fantastic experience: We did the parent taught program but used Sam's for the Road Ready - 1 hr. prep lesson and test. Excellent, friendly staff and instructor (Kenneth). The instructor Instantly put my teen at ease, excellent coaching for an hour and then he took his test. Smooth process, I highly recommend. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Took my driver's test today, the instructor was friendly and he made the drive worry free . If I had teenagers needing to take drivers classes , I would take them there .

Fantastic experience: We chose Sams Driving School based on a friend's recommendation. It wasn't the closest to us but worth the extra few minutes drive as our experience was exceptional. Everyone from the office staff to classroom instructors and driving instructors were great. They helped build my teens driving confidence every step of the way by providing positive and constructive feedback with each drive. We purchased the Teen Basic Plus Package. They guided us through each step of the process of what we needed for getting the learners permit to the final step of the provisional license. Being able to schedule drives on their website was convenient.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school!! Staff was very friendly and patient. Took my driving test here and could not have asked for a better experience. Definitely recommend to anyone looking for a driving school!

Negative experience: It was pretty bad. They did not follow the state's curriculum. IE day 4 was supposed to be X skill, but they never did it. Like ever. Student never got on an interstate at all. Never learned parallel parking at all. Student had Sam, himself, for only 1 lesson and he was good. All other instructors let them keep their cell phones. So there was never any "observation" time. I found this out when I started getting texts from my student during their lesson. 1 instructor had Student drive him through the Burger King drive thru so he could get a burger, which he ate during the lesson. Another instructor had Student drive to 7eleven and park so he could go inside and wash hands, and then get a fountain drink. At the end, the paperwork was very disorganized and I had to educate them about the certificate I needed for the state. If Student were just a slow learner and needed more practice or lessons, I would have expected them to tell me that. But they passed Student with 88%. Student was nowhere near ready to drive alone so we have started from scratch with another company. A waste of money and time.

Fantastic experience: I want to express my immense gratitude to this driving school for providing such a convenient and transparent service on their website. Booking an appointment was a breeze, and I was able to secure one quickly without any hassle. The instructor who conducted the driving exam was incredibly patient, and I am genuinely thankful for his understanding. Since English is not my native language, he took the time to speak slowly and clearly, ensuring that I comprehended everything. This made me feel at ease during the exam, as I started off feeling excited and anxious. The conversation with the instructor proved to be calming, and it boosted my confidence throughout the examination. I can wholeheartedly recommend this driving school to anyone seeking to learn how to drive. Their outstanding service, accommodating nature, and supportive instructors make for an exceptional learning experience. If you're looking for a driving school that caters to your individual needs and helps you feel comfortable, this is definitely the one to choose. Thank you once again for the remarkable experience!

Fantastic experience: This is the best driving school hands down, Sam is incredible, he is calm, very patient and super nice. He taught my mum (Tappy) who elderly how to drive and I must say i have never met anyone as patient as this gentleman. My mum clearly needed a lot more time and Sam was a constant, very patient with her, always there on time, calm and made her feel so comfortable. He even offered my mum extra time outside his teaching hours just to make sure she learned the right way, and to this day we are still very grateful to Sam and this driving school. I recommend this driving school to anyone out there looking for driving lessons. Excellent excellent driving school.
