Fantastic experience: Melanie was a wonderful instructor for our son, Wesley. She was prompt, patient, & gave him very helpful feedback. He also said she was really fun to talk to! It’s always impressive to hear that from a teenager. We’ll be recommending Green Light to all of our friends with teen drivers.

Green Light Driving School

Thank you so much for the terrific review! We are happy to hear that your son enjoyed the lessons. Melanie truly enjoyed working with Wesley, abd he did an awesome job on the driving lessons. We look forward to working with you and your next kiddo when he is ready to drive, and we always appreciate any referrals!

Fantastic experience: We had a wonderful experience with Green light! My daughter’s lesson was very helpful. Peggy was great! She helped my daughter feel more comfortable with expressway merging and taught her how to parallel park. I highly recommend them!

We truly appreciate the great review and the kind words about Peggy. Glad to hear that the lesson helped your daughter!

Fantastic experience: Green Light Driving School is absolutely the best! So far, my three oldest kids have learned from them and have learned so much! Top notch and trustworthy for sure

Green Light Driving School

Thank you for the very kind words and for the great review! It has been a pleasure working with you and your teens, and we hope to see kiddo # 4 in the future for lessons, too.

Negative experience: Very poor communication. Fails to reply to my text messages despite multiple attempts at follow-ups. Never received emails they promised on course info.

Green Light Driving School

We do our best to communicate well and always respond within a couple of hours, unless we are overwhelmed with calls or someone is contacting us outside of office hours. We respond when we are not driving with students. It is possible that the info we sent is in your spam box; we would have been happy to re-email it to you, had you called the office to communicate with us. Edit on 12/6/24: It appears that you are the 765-772- number who sent us to voicemail when we called immediately back in response to your texts on 10/29/24 at 10:36 a.m. to communicate with you over the phone instead of by text (we were both having some text app issues and we also wanted to verify if a real person was texting us. And it is easier to talk than text when providing lots of information). We determined that the info provided by that person using our OWN location as theirs and using our OWN WEBSITE info as a personal email "greenlightdsky@unhappyend..." both the email address itself, the site connected to the email address, being sent to voicemail, requesting lessons after 7 p.m., and the location provided was all odd and suspicious. We blocked that phone number as per the suggestion of our cyber security consultant. We tend to get a lot of scammers and weird calls/ texts and did not feel comfortable sending our info and access to our scheduling site to the email address mentioned above.

Fantastic experience: Having your 1st teen get their license is such a scary and stressful time but with Bill’s help teaching my daughter to drive, it put this momma at ease a little. Bill has more patience than anyone I have ever met, he is so kind and makes the students feel comfortable behind the wheel. I highly recommend him to everyone!

Green Light Driving School

We appreciate the SUPER nice review of our instructor Bill/ William. Glad to know that the driving instruction helped both the parent and teen, that’s our goal!

Fantastic experience: Our son had Matt as his instructor and we couldn’t be happier with the our experience. From the office staff’s communication to Matt’s execution of each lesson. Our son feels fully prepared to take his driving test! Thanks Green Light and Matt

Fantastic experience: Melanie gave my daughter Lindsay a driving lesson today it was a great experience for her! Melanie was excellent! I feel money well spent when it comes to my daughter's safety!

Green Light Driving School

Thank you for the opportunity to work with you and your daughter today, and we truly appreciate the nice review! Lindsay did a great job driving today in Friday traffic. We hope the certificate of completion that we emailed to you, helps with a car insurance discount.

Fantastic experience: I had a lot of anxiety when it came to driving. Melanie helped me overcome that anxiety, she is an amazing instructor, overall it is an amazing school. I would recommend Green light to anyone.

Green Light Driving School

Appreciate the very nice review, Hannah! We are so pleased to hear that the lessons with Melanie have helped you.

Fantastic experience: I hope that my instructor William sees this. I am a 34 year old adult that never learned how to drive due to fear and lack of support. However, with the support patience and knowledge that I received from Will I was able to conquer that fear. He was able to keep me relaxed and calm with his positive energy and conversation. He corrected me when I needed him to and he always made sure to give me positive feedback and constructive criticism as well. After one lesson I already feel like I can do anything. I have another lesson coming up and I’m going to keep coming back. I have a feeling with his help I will learn to drive really fast and super soon. I just wanna say thank you.

Green Light Driving School

We are happy to help you, and are so glad that the lesson gave you confidence and got you over that fear. We appreciate the glowing review of William; he really enjoyed working with you as well. We do our best to put clients at ease and get them to the next level with their driving skills. See you soon (& we sent a screenshot of your review to William.)

Fantastic experience: Breon was a great teacher! Our daughter was nervous about freeway driving and he helped her get lots of practice! We appreciate his professionalism and patience.

Green Light Driving School

It is great to hear that your daughter is feeling much more confident with interstate merging and driving. We very much appreciate the kind words about Breon.

Marci Vandermeer 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Our daughter had lots of anxiety about driving so we decided to contact Greenlight to assist. William IMMEDIATELY recognized her anxiety, put her mind at ease and help give her the confidence she needed. They work around high school schedules and attendance offices do too. It’s been a great experience!!

Green Light Driving School

So glad that your daughter enjoyed the driving lessons and feels more confident now, as that is the goal. Thank you for the very nice review! here!

Ellie Rugen 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I completed 4 lessons with instructors Melaine and David. They were professional, accommodating and made me feel very comfortable. I am learning to drive as an immigrant from another country and was very nervous at first but they put my nerves at bay and I felt very relaxed and in control. Thankyou!

Green Light Driving School

Thank you, Ellie! We are glad that the lessons helped and appreciate the nice review!

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of meeting Breon today. He was right on time and very professional, he was also open to the needs of my wife and listened intently. To say he was very patient would be an understatement and I really appreciate him tayloring the lesson to play to her strengths and weaknesses. Breon was a lot more than what I expected and I'm very happy to write this review about him. Thank you Breon for being an awesome teacher and thank you for your military service. It was a pleasure to meet you today.

Green Light Driving School

We are pleased that you had a great experience with Breon! We have passed your kind words on to him and appreciate the nice review of him and his work with your wife. We hope that she feels more confident about parallel parking and turnabouts, too.

Fantastic experience: Excellent defensive driving course with Melanie! I highly recommend this professional company!

Green Light Driving School

Thank you for the nice review! We are glad the defensive driving session helped!

Karen Nichols 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great company, great experience! They stay quite busy; book lessons in advance to ensure specific day or time if needed. Breon is the best! He's super chill, yet professional, and made my daughter feel completely comfortable. Gave her the skills and confidence to be a safe, conscientious driver...aced test first attempt. Appreciated the constant communication & updates throughout the process. Definitely recommend.

Green Light Driving School

Thank you! We appreciate the nice words. And yes...we encourage everyone to schedule in advance with us.

Tracey Thompson 6 years ago

Negative experience: My daughter had a lesson after having her permit for 6 months. She had already been driving and parallel parking on her own. We were assured that she was ready to test, however, she has failed the driving test twice. We were not offered another lesson only tips in an email. Definitely NOT worth $125!

Green Light Driving School

We are sorry to hear that your daughter failed the driving test. She is a very decent driver, and did well in general and with parallel parking during the lesson...as we have discussed over email and on the phone. The instructor was very thorough in the lesson, and has done their due diligence to follow-up with emails and phone calls. We did not offer another lesson, as your daughter’s test was scheduled a few days after the lesson you had scheduled.We did our best to work her into our already-full schedule to accommodate her on such short notice.

Lora Bentley 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son had his driving lesson with William today and he and I feel great about him taking the driver's test. Thank you so much!

Green Light Driving School

Awesome! Thank you for the kind review, and we are pleased your son had a great lesson with our instructor.

Suzanne Slaven 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter had two lessons with two great instructors. She got her license and learned some new skills with focused 1:1 lessons. I really appreciated the responsiveness and the summary after each lesson to help me with areas to focus on before her test. She’s got her license and some new confidence after her lessons.

Green Light Driving School

Thanks, Suzanne. We enjoyed working with your family, and are so glad that the lessons helped your daughter. Congrats to her on getting her driver's license!
