Curbside is my absolute savior!
Curbside is my absolute savior! I called this place starting off as what I thought…a helpless case/lost cause. The instructor was absolutely fantastic! Very patient, calm, and understanding. Her positive remarks and calm energy are exactly what I needed to instill the confidence that I thought I had lost, lacked and needed. She taught me well above and beyond my expectations and well over the requirements necessary for the DMV drive test. She caters to YOUR needs and instructs you on areas for improvement, allowing for questions and patiently helping you with those areas that need help. She comes to you and works with your schedule taking you to school, wherever you need to be, etc. She also understands the difficulties of the economy and offers driving lessons at a very, very affordable price! I can assure you that comparable driving schools are pricier. I can rave and rant so much about this school, because I have no negative remarks to make about this place. I highly, highly recommend Curbside! Make the call today. I can assure you, you’ll be happy and satisfied!

Awesome service

Awesome service. I was really impressed with the professionalism. The Instructor was very patient with me and went above and beyond what is even required by law for me to know. She taught me more than just the minimal. I highly recommend this school. She is reasonable on prices and works with people on payment plans. She also comes to you!! So I could be picked up at school and dropped off at home. Go with this school, you won’t regret it.

My experience at Curbside Driving School went very well, at first my lessons were with the female instructor who kept a calm atmosphere in the car and was very easy to understand, but then she got sick and couldn’t take me on my lesson so I got the male instructor who was also very helpful and part of the reason why I passed my DMV on the 1st try. Not to mention they probably have the best prices compared to most driving schools in the county, I would definitely recommend it!

We just moved from out of state and were looking for a driving school for my son. After calling around and searching, we came across this one. Laws here are so different and its very confusing. The prices were great, they also have payment plans. The lady that took our call was very nice on the phone and helped answer all my questions. We could have either a male instructor or female and that made my son more comfortable having a male. Tom Bond was his name and he really went above and beyond teaching. He taught him a lot that was required to know for the drive test but he also taught him so much more that wasn’t on the test but that he should know for everyday safety. I was so impressed with the professionalism and dependability, and care they take with each student. Also, the lady I talked to on the phone (Melanie Bond) she told me they like to treat each student as if they were their own and knowing they will be safe after they pass and really good drivers is so important to them. Well, it shows, because my son passed with 100% and he uses all the advice and techniques that was given to him. I would give them 50 stars if I could! We have referred many people and they all feel the same way. Thank you Tom and Melanie, you two really do a great job and the kids just love you! I highly recommend this place! Hailey J.

Thank you Curbside Driving School!!!!! I am a very busy, single mom of three and was honestly scared to even think of my oldest driving already. You not only eased my mind but my daughter as well. She is doing so good and drives with confidence but also is still practicing what you taught her. She just loved you and always refers to what “Tom” said….or ” Tom told her this” or “Tom told her that”…. I will be honest…I was very nervous at her being with a male instructor but after meeting him and seeing how he taught her with such comfort. It didn’t matter. She asked for him back she like him so much. This school is the place to go if you want prompt, courteous, calm instruction. I also love that the owner Melanie was always available to be reached either by email, or text or phone pretty much 24/7. Thanks guys and we WILL be back!!! You are completely awesome!!!! Lynne

We looked all over for a driving school for our kids and that alone can be a very scary decision. We called and talked to several and some didn’t even return our call. Melanie at Curbside Driving School answered the first time we called and she was such a pleasure to talk to. She answered all our questions and concerns. She also discounted the 6 hrs. that each one needed because we signed up twins. Which I just loved!!! Any discount always helps when you have more than one child. Melanie was the instructor for my daughter and Tom was the instructor for my son and they were just so calm and reassuring. Always had positive feedback even on errors made they turned it around to a positive constructive criticism. Both kids just had such a pleasant time learning. They were both so afraid to drive and each instructor just knew how to put them at ease and learn how to be safe and cautious. I highly recommend this company!!!! They will teach your kids as if they were teaching their own. They are very prompt….actually, usually showed up 5 mins. early which was fine with us we loved the promptness and loyalty! Thank you Tom and Melanie…what you do is awesome and you truly have a passion for this industry. ..keep up the good work and we will see you soon with our other children. Sabrina Smith

I would like to share my personal experience with Melanie @ Curbside driving school. As a single mom of two teenagers I was extremely nervous about who I would send my daughter off to train behind the wheel for the first time. I called several driving agencies and spoke at length to individuals about my concerns. Melanie was EXTREMELY courteous, helpful, patient and informative. She is locally known in the community and has a great reputation for drivers instruction. I shared with her all the areas I was worried about in training my daughter to drive and she assured me she would handle her with care and patiently train her to drive and pass her test. She did not disappoint. After my daughters first behind the wheel she came home so much more relaxed and confident in her driving. She actually became a much better driver following her first lesson. Her second lesson she was driving on the freeway with ease and handling one ways and downtown Modesto traffic. By her third visit she was well equipped for her drivers test which she passed with flying colors the next day!! My daughter was so happy with her experience with Melanie she asked for a 4th driving session with her which is not required. She really did her job in helping my daughter become aware of the road teaching her the mechanics I could not help her with. I would HIGHLY recommend giving her a call and expressing your needs desires for training your child to drive. You will not be disappointed. I will most certainly be taking my other daughter to her for training as soon as she is of age in just a couple years.
