Coastline Academy Driving School - Arlington Heights

Fantastic experience: I had 8 behind the wheel classes at this school. Then I got one extra, because I didn’t feel confident enough before my test, but finally I passed! My instructors were Brian, Beth, Ronald and Mari! I am very thankful for your help and support!

Fantastic experience: Mari is one of the best instructors. She taught me all that I needed to know about driving. I got my license 2 days after doing all the 8 hours of classes with Mari. She’s very understanding and knowledgeable. Everyone else at this facility was very welcoming and supportive. 5/5 experience.

Negative experience: I had a very disappointing experience. After paying over $600 for a class, I expected at least basic professionalism and courtesy. Instead, the staff was rude and unwelcoming. To make matters worse, I was harassed for using the parking lot—even though I was a paying customer. It’s incredibly frustrating to invest that much money and still be treated with such disrespect. I would not recommend this place based on how poorly they treat their students.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this place, driving was something I always struggled with. I got my drivers license because of this place. Maria was a great instructor!

Fantastic experience: My daughter took the 8 hour BTW lessons, and passed her driver’s license test. She wants to thank all the instructors who helped her become a great driver.

Fantastic experience: Mari is an amazing instructor— so supportive and experienced. Other instructors at the facility are very pleasant as well. Passed my license test with only two points after driving with Mari. Scheduling was much easier than expected based on my experience with another driving school. Mari was very accommodating to my schedule and helped me get my drives done before I left for university.

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible to go to. All the instructors I worked with were knowledgeable and patient. Mari, especially was a big help in learning how to drive. To make sure I would be ready for my exam she squeezed me in for a Friday appointment. I went the day after my last lesson and passed my exam! If you need to take drivers ed or retake drivers Ed, take it with Coastline driving academy! Thank you Coastline Driving Academy!

Fantastic experience: I booked 8 lessons with Coastline and I am happy to say that I passed my drivers test on my first try after 7 lessons! The folks are amazing at Coastline, and they are extremely knowledgeable at teaching you not only what is required for the drivers test but also how to be a safe and confident driver in general. For anyone reading this, I'd highly recommend Goran as your instructor at Coastline if your schedule allows for his availability, he is amazing!

Positive experience: So I was/am interested in this school for my son. However, I called the phone line just to make sure all the pricing was up front and just to get walked though the process. The lady I talked to was absolutely worthless information wise. Her answer to every question was go to the website, and refused to answer any questions directly. So now I'm definitely much more skeptical of this program. EDIT: Paige from Coastline reached out answered all my questions and was very helpful. Enrolled my son, and moved to three starts, will hopefully move it up to five once he completes the program and has a great experience.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely recommend Coastline Driving School to not only new drivers but those like myself who waited a little later in life to get their driver’s license. The staff went over and beyond to make sure I felt comfortable. Their hands on approach made me feel welcomed and excited to learn. Most importantly they were patient with my nervousness around driving. Give pats on the back all around!!!

Fantastic experience: Great company with awesome instructors! My daughter’s favorite driving instructor was Mr. Jordan. She said he was so calm and patient and really eased her nerves when on the road. We will definitely be using Coastline for my son in a couple of years!

Fantastic experience: Staff is so friendly and professional — enrollment was a breeze, scheduling drive times were super convenient. Had a few different driving instructors all of which were knowledgeable, and made my student feel comfortable & at ease behind the wheel. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Very knowledgeable, and patient!
