Fantastic experience: They are really effective and help with anything you need help with on driving !! They also helped get me my license and taught me a lot of valuable things

Positive experience: The instructor was awesome. Very patient and kind. The office and scheduling however was a nightmare. They're friendly but the wait time for using the van is way to long. It's hard to expect to learn to be proficient when your appointments are many weeks apart. That's just unacceptable considering what they charge. If they are so backed up then hire more people and buy more equipment.

Fantastic experience: I had to take the PA road test recently, as a non-resident alien with 15 years driving experience. Booked two lessons to prepare and took the test in a Brants car. Ryan and the staff were total pros. I mention that I passed with my tester's "only perfect score of the day" only as a testament to the quality of instruction... ;)

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough about the team at Brants, their thorough communication and their commitment to care. Amanda Perkins worked with us on an on going basis to make sure our son Patrick received the proper evaluations for his physical disability. Jordan Brant conducted those clinical and driving evals, taking his time with Patrick. We met with Matt Book in Harrisburg so he could work with Patrick for 2 1/2 weeks in a high tech equipped van. Matt is a gem. He's carrying, calm, patient, kind and made Patrick feel very at ease every day they worked together. And when test time came, Patrick felt comfortable and passed on the first attempt. Thank you Brants!

Fantastic experience: I haven’t driven in over 10 years and I was scared to get back behind the wheel especially with adaptive equipment. Matt quickly put me at ease as he is the best person to teach someone how to drive. He is kind, extremely patient, and very encouraging without being overbearing. Matt really knows his stuff, he even made parallel parking easy! shocking. I was able to pass my driver’s test with no mistakes. I highly recommend Brant Driving School.

Fantastic experience: A friend and Senior Driver (octogenarian) was recommended to take a test to be assured of her safety in continuing to drive. Ceridwen was an amazing instructor— she was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the many circumstances that can face senior drivers. While the cost of this service was high, the peace of mind is priceless. Thank you, Brant’s Driving School.

Positive experience: I've had nothing but positive experiences with Brants. I have a disability so for a while I thought I couldn't drive. It turns out I was wrong. My instructor, Ceridwen, is fantastic. She is very encouraging and very calm when you make mistakes. She is also great at coming up with solutions at fixing your them. Can't believe she's only been doing this for a year. This job is her calling.

Fantastic experience: We have used Brants Driving School for all three of our children's driving school needs. The staff is extremely professional and prompt with the appointments. They were able to provide good tips for the new drivers to learn from. They were even able to master parallel parking in a few minutes. They provide online classes and behind the wheel education which culminates in the final drivers exam. You can receive a insurance discount for the behind the wheel portion of the program. My wife and I highly recommend Brants Driving School for all new drivers.

Fantastic experience: Excellent program! Both of my kids were enrolled in Brant's Driving School - my son in 2017 and my daughter in 2021. The driving instructors were knowledgeable and patient. Mr. Brant tested both of them and was wonderful with them. He makes the kids feel at ease and as comfortable as possible in a high pressure situation. He is so patient and encouraging to the kids before, during, and after the driving test. He is also VERY accommodating in scheduling driving tests to work with your schedule. Loved him! Would highly recomend Brant's Driving School!

Fantastic experience: I’m somewhat recently paralyzed from a spinal cord injury and was ready to get driving again. My state vocational rehab department set me up with Brant’s. They were really helpful throughout the entire process, and even gave me a ride to pickup my van after the equipment was installed. Adam was super helpful and easy to drive with. It gave me a sense of comfort and security knowing he was there beside me. He gave me several helpful tips and was very knowledgeable about my equipment, driving in general, and even the features of my van in particular. I don’t understand the negative reviews due to their waiting list. I would think that’s a good thing to know they’re in high demand. I would definitely recommend Brant’s.

Fantastic experience: What a great school. They will come to your home to pick up your student and explain everything to you before departing and when arriving back. Adam Holtz did the greatest job in instructing our son and he even took him for the driver's test. Awesome!!!

Negative experience: It was OK. The only complaint I have is that the driving instructor yelled at me more than a few times. Which I found nerve-racking and unprofessional. I did pass my driving test.

Fantastic experience: This place is fantastic. We used the location in Maryland, but dealt with the office staff in PA, and they were all so wonderful. Excellent communication with phone and email, and so willing to work with us and make things as smooth as possible. Thank you, Brant's Driving School!!
