Positive experience: I had a good experience at the way they teach my kids and training them to drive but the only issue is My Daughter got sick on the night one day before the training. I had to cancel the training early morning then I find out they charge me $68 for cancellation. That’s the only issue I had.

Fantastic experience: My son had an excellent experience with Joshua Board. A great feature is the email report card sent after every lesson. It provides clear, constructive feedback on exactly what needs improvement. As a parent helping my child with driving practice, having this professional guidance is incredibly helpful and takes the guesswork out of practice sessions.

Angelina Sala 8 months ago

Fantastic experience: I love it here. As a late begginer to driving, I wasn't expecting the instructors to be so sweet and understanding but they know how to keep you steady, comfortable, and at your best. They reassure, reassess and fix any mistakes as you go, keeping you ready for the DMV test; especially having the breakdown of your lesson after every appointment. I appreciate their notes the most because it helps me focus on what still needs work. Business always runs swift and smoothly and I couldn't be happier taking this next step with AAA.

Kellee Turpen 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I signed my son up for the AAA online and 10 hour behind the wheel package. I, initially, booked his first behind the wheel lesson out of their Poway office. After missing the 10 minute cut off for his first lesson by 2 minutes being met with zero understanding from the instructor there I was able to rebook with Josh at the Escondido branch. He's been AMAZING! Immediately put my son at ease and understands that sometimes life just happens. He's one of the very few instructors that regularly offers Saturday lessons, which is a huge bonus when you're trying to avoid taking your child out of school early every two or three weeks for time with an instructor. I'm planning on making the 40 minute drive to Escondido, every lesson, just so my son can be taught by Josh.

Charlene VT 1 year ago

Positive experience: Hi, Josh in Escondido has been a great instructor! Any teen would like him, I know my son does. I would have given 5 stars, but had to take off a star since our AAA experience in Poway was not great. The Poway driving instructor was not personable and does not appear capable of developing a good rapport with her students or parents. Luckily, Josh came to our rescue and made the experience so much better. Although we have to drive out of the way for lessons, it is worth it. I would recommend lessons from Josh from AAA, but not the driving instructor from Poway location. She needs more training on how to create a safe and friendly environment for a new driver to learn and be kinder to the parents. She can learn something from Josh’s style.

Fantastic experience: My nephew went through this program and came out a much better driver than when he went into it: i think I met a guy named Josh, he was positive and up beat, my nephew did not complain about a single thing, which is new!!! So we are all happy he is a capable driver now, thanks to this outfit!

Sal Filipelli 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: When my nephew needed a driving school, we knew there was only one place that had his back. My guy Josh over at AAA Driving School in Escondido was friendly, knowledgeable and the kid passed his test on the first try thanks to the instruction he got from our friends at AAA. Highly recommended. When it comes to finding a driving school for your friends or loved ones, make the right choice.. AAA Driving School all day!

David Ross 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Josh is such a good driver’s ed instructor that I wish I’d had him when I was a youngster first getting my license. He’s cool and effective. Keep up the good work!

Brian Massey 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter had behind the wheel sessions Josh (Escondido) and Michael (Oceanside). She felt they both were great in helping her gain experience and knowledge behind the wheel and preparing for the test. I’m told they were more calm than I was, which is likely true, as the further she progressed through the courses, the better (safer) my daughter drove and, the calmer I was. She thought it was a great course (both online and behind the wheel), and both instructors were great.

Fantastic experience: Hi! I recently had the pleasure of attending the AAA School, and my experience was nothing short of wonderful. The highlight of my time there was the exceptional instruction I received from Josh. His teaching style was both patient and insightful, making complex topics accessible and engaging. Josh's knowledge in his field is impressive, and he has a unique ability to convey information clearly and effectively. He was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that I understood the material, providing additional resources and support whenever needed. His dedication to his students' success is truly commendable. Moreover, Josh's approachable and friendly demeanor created a comfortable learning environment, encouraging open communication and active participation. His enthusiasm for teaching was infectious, making each session enjoyable and motivating. Overall, my experience at AAA driving School was greatly enhanced by Josh's outstanding instruction. I highly recommend this school to anyone seeking a high-quality educational experience with knowledgeable and supportive instructors like Josh.

Stacey Goodwin 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Driving Instructor Was Awesome! If it was not for the fantastic driving instructor in Oceanside, my daughter would not have completed the course. I highly recommend the Oceanside school. The instructor was so patient and taught my daughter to be a safe driver and prepared her for the "behind the wheel" test that she passed with flying colors.

Negative experience: Online course is a total joke. Don't waste your money. Information is poorly presented with poor quality grainy videos. The web page is extremely unreliable frequently hanging, skipping slides, and some lessons just missing. Each lesson only has enough content to fill about 50 to 70 percent of the time slot so the student is left waiting for a timer to move on to the next lesson. I guess this meets the legal requirement of 30 hours. Great emphasis is placed on car crashes instead of how to prevent them. And the biggest kicker is according to the company that hosts it, American Safety Council, the AAA course is identical to their offering for $24.95 only AAA charges $50.
