- Personalized Behind-the-Wheel Training: Instructors like Sandy, Gary, Rich, and Paula are frequently commended for their patience, calm demeanor, and ability to build student confidence.

Fantastic experience: My son had a superb experience receiving drivers training through this Company over the past four months. He recently took his drivers test through them as well and passed without a problem. Sandy was his final driver instructor prior to his test and was a total professional! She is patient with the students, competent in her knowledge and a pleasure to work with. Craig, the drivers exam administrator, was outstanding in his evaluation of my son's driving abilities. Many thanks to both Sandy and Craig for all they do putting new safe drivers on our roads!
Thank you so much for your fantastic feedback! We are thrilled to hear that your son had a superb experience with our driving training program and that Sandy provided such professional and patient instruction, and we’re glad that Craig’s evaluation contributed positively to your son’s driving journey. We truly appreciate your kind words about their dedication to fostering safe drivers.
Your support means a lot to us, and we are grateful for the opportunity to assist your son.
Fantastic experience: My experience with them was awesome! Sandy is hands down the best instructor you'll get. She doesn't just prepare you for the test, she makes sure you're good beyond that for when you actually drive. I only had the chance to practice and drive during lessons and in spite of this, I cleared my road test on the very first attempt with 0 points. Thank You Sandy!!
Congratulations Shreya on passing your test! We are so glad to hear your experience was awesome and we will be sure to share your kind words with Sandy.
Fantastic experience: Coastline was an excellent experience for my daughter! And we’re able to schedule the driving exam with Coastline instead of the DMV
Thank you, Sabrina for you kind words. We appreciate your 5-star review!
Fantastic experience: My experience was pretty good. I think the main reason it was a good experience is because the driver that I selected for all of my son's lessons was a totally awesome person. I selected Gary R. I could not have picked a better person!! Gary R. was so nice, so laid back and my son says a super great instructor and made him feel comfortable and at ease from the start. Each lesson was better and better. After the very last lesson Gary and my son were totally prepared to finally take the road test. The company and Gary R. provided an excellent experience for my son. I was extremely happy with the final outcome!! Request Gary!!!
Hi Christi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are so glad both you and your son has a great experience with Coastline and that Gary was a good match for your son! We appreciate your 5-star review.
Negative experience: I came in today to take my test, and when my mom and I walked in there was one woman sitting there saying that they weren’t a testing school. We got a confirmation text saying to meet Paula at their exact address and we arrived ten minutes earlier. Sandy the woman in the store (mind you the only one in the store) called the front desk lady I’m assuming her name was Danny/Dani/something along those lines and had to look up our last name. What’s important to this story is my mom called two weeks before to make sure that I would be taking the test at DTS and she was reassured everything was good and set, but when we came in she said it must have “fallen through the cracks to tell us that they aren’t testing. It’s was a confusing 20 minutes for everyone. I’m just so disappointed because I’ve been practicing and my parents paid good money for people to schedule it for me and they get screwed. I loved my instructor Larry, but right now everything is too messy and not fair to everyone who wants their liscense and now I have to wait days to reschedule it because it takes two days to be put on the schedule and then I’m going to be out of the country so this whole situation is so unfair I wouldn’t recommend if you want to get your liscense ON TIME!! But thank you to sandy for professionals dealing with the problem while you had a lesson and Larry for training me. Wouldn’t recommend and I’m just disappointed that I can’t get it after waiting for so long.
Hi Tyler,
We were very sorry to hear about the experience you had. We have since spoken and were able to provide you with a road test just a couple of days after the experience as well as refund you for the cost of the test service to further rectify the experience.
We are glad that we were able to rectify the prior experience and wish you all the best!
