Choosing the right Driving Schools, learn how to drive safely, save time, and save money, Alamo Driving School is the best driving schools in Minnesota. My story: I'm a student at UFM Minneapolis and I had no experience driving and have never even touched a steering wheel until January 15, 2012 at Alamo Driving School. At first, I was skeptical because of the number of positive reviews, but after a few calls and email to their office, I was immediately attracted to their amazing customer service. Leeta, Mariam and Mohamed, who help answer phone calls, are extremely patient, open to questions, know everything you need about how to get your driver's license, and they go the extra mile to make sure your driving lessons are booked at a convenient time that fits your schedule best. I was worried that there would be no openings for lessons and be wasting time while they hold onto my money, however, Lana and Christina made sure I had my 3 lessons (2 hours each) booked in a 2 week period. My first 3 lessons were with Mohamed. He has more than 10 years of driving instruction experience, and is one of the owners of ALAMO Driving School. He made me feel calm even though I was nervous and felt like the car was in control, not me. I almost crashed into a car, but Robert pressed on the brake and saved our lives. Mohamed talked to me calmly and made sure I understood what I did wrong. He cared about our life, and he cared about making me into a good driver rather than only caring about passing the driver's license or earning money. He's right - learning how to drive well so that you don't put your life and other people's life in danger is more important than a paper driver's license. So I decided to invest in 4 more driving lessons. There were 2 major mistakes I made in my first 3 driving lessons - wearing thick soled shoes (you won't be able to feel how much your pressing on the brake and accelerator) and taking the bus to Alamo Driving School (you'll feel tired even before you take your lesson). My last 5 classes were with Mercedez who is extremely professional/highly skilled driver and a brilliant driving instructor. Alamo Driving School will pick you up and drop you off. The reason most of the reviews mention Mercedez is probably because she teaches the classes for lots of high school kids who are learning how to drive for the first time too. She taught me, someone who has never driven before, how to parallel park (after 90 minutes, I learned how to parallel park), how to drive safely on 6th street, and how to drive safely on the highway. She teaches you everything you need to know about being able to drive well, hands out really specific, easily readable, and informative papers on how to make turns/parallel mark. She was always on time to pick me up, went through the DPS route with me, and pointed out honestly what I needed to improve on. With her help, now I feel completely in control of the car rather than the other way around. In total, I took 8 driving lessons and did no other driving outside of those hours. I don't have a car, and Alamo Driving Schools kindly let me borrow their car at an additional fee for the driving test. Today I passed my driving test with a score of 90+! Thank you so much for your valuable help Alamo Driving School team (Leeta, Mariam, Dale, and Mohamed..Etc)! If I went back in time, I would choose Alamo driving school again - one of the best investments I've ever made. So if you want to get a driver's license, learn how to drive safely, save time, and save money, Alamo Driving School is your best choice - I highly recommend it.
