Be Road Ready

Trusted by Thousands of Students (and Parents!)

Pacific Driver Education provided a far superior behind-the-wheel driving test experience than the DMV. It took less than 10 minutes after arriving for my appointment for me to be behind the wheel of a car (which they provide!).
Skip is a great tester. He is personable, calm and makes you (kid and parents) feel at ease before the test even begins. 100% would recommend!
I took four driving lessons with them and my instructor Hope is amazing. She is patient, thorough and knowledgeable. I also did my drivers test there and passed the first time.
The entire process from scheduling an appointment to taking the drive test was as smooth as could be. But the highlight was the facilitator I had. Steve was courteous, professional, and he went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and able to focus more on the drive itself.
Skip is the best person I could have ever hoped to have as my instructor.
Pacific Driver Education has it all: friendly staff, patient and skilled instructors, and a great selection of cars. The process was smooth and professional from start to finish, and I felt confident and prepared every step of the way. Both Andrew and Daniel were outstanding and made the experience enjoyable and stress-free.
Staff was very helpful, professional and efficient. In & out in 30 minutes. Highly recommend as opposed to waiting around at the DMV.
Very professional and easy to understand instructor. Friendly and great to use their vehicles for your driving test. Will definitely recommend to others.
My instructor, Hope, was very informative and helpful with understanding of my errors that helped sharpen my awareness on the road.
I am very please with the examiner. He explained details after the driving test which need to be improved.
Fantastic experience all around - my son took driving lessons, online courses/test and final drive test for license from here. Friendly instructors, great communication and easy process from start to finish.
Pacific Driver Education is for sure a first class operation - their communication and follow up was excellent - and my sons driver test went smoothly. They are in an area that seems perfect for training with both calm and busy traffic zones plus RR crossings, school zones, and various parking zones.
Great company. 3 kids have taken driving lessons through them, and one has done his driving testing. Professional, polite, patient, and great to work with. Would recommend to anyone needing driving lessons or testing.
I absolutely loved the adult driving class! It helped me not only to know how to drive, but it curbed my anxiety as well. The instructors were kind and very helpful in teaching me tips and tricks to look for when I drove.
I have put three of my children through driver's education here and they are both now licensed, safe drivers. The instructors are great with kids. If your students pass the class, they will not have to take the DMV driving test in order to get their license. Great insurance discounts as well.
I was nervous to drive. But after my first session with my instructor, i couldn't wait for the next chance to drive. I am a confident and safe driver thanks to them!!
After 20 years of driving I'm finally confident I won't run into a curb! They give great explanations that are easy to follow. And the best part is that I'm in Albuquerque and was able to do it by myself with their online lessons. Thank you!!!
Very good customer service. The service is fast and starts on time. Everyone is very friendly in the office. The examiner explains everything to you carefully and is very respectful.
Originally I was nervous about taking my drivers test, but the examiners were very understanding and supportive, giving me plenty of time to look over the car and feel prepared. They were also very calm during the drive, and made the experience a lot less stressful. I wouldn’t have put off taking it for so long, if I’d known it wasn’t as scary as I’d built up.
Getting lessons from Pacific Driver Education was the confidence boost I needed to finally get my license after 20 years of only having a permit. My instructor, Steve Buckley, was great about working up gradually and giving me great tips for all situations. It was also extremely easy to schedule a drivers test with them.
I was happy to be a student at this driver's school. They have good educational videos for students so you can learn many helpful details. The instructors are professional and very patient with students. All these lessons helped me pass the driver's test the first time.
Very happy that we decided on Pacific, my 17 year old is way past due to get his license. Passed his driver's exam & ready to go to the DMV. Thank you so much Pacific, I can see that his driving has improved & I feel it's because he's more confident behind the wheel.
Who would have thought that a driving test could be such a fun and wonderful experience? The credit goes to Steve w/ Pacific Driver Education! Thanks Steve, I appreciate your excellent customer service!
This is our second teenager to go through the Pacific Driver Education program. They do a wonderful job working with the young drivers and teaching them how to get safely from point A to point B by helping them understand the HOW and the WHY of driving.
Our two teens took the Driver Essentials Plus program. Throughout the process, Lauren provided thorough info over the phone and in the office. One of our teens had some severe anxiety and the degree of patience and flexibility the company offered was exceptional! Many thanks to Heidi and Steve!
Skip went above and beyond to make the drivers training classes experience exceptional for my daughter. He greeted us before and after each lesson, sent emails, and was also very encouraging. Thanks again Skip for your kindness, positive attitude, and reassurance (mainly for mom).
Wonderful experience with Pacific driver education. Front desk is very prompt and helpful, they explain everything really well. The drive test was easy and the person I tested it was very calm and had me get accustomed to the vehicle. Great and clean vehicles. 100% recommend them
