Street Wise Driving School

Fantastic experience: Came across this driving school using Google maps. Since it was highly rated, I choose to choose this school for my driving lessons. The experience was good: The instructor was always on time for the lessons (picks up the candidate from their residence) and lessons were about 1 hour each (all lessons are 1-on-1). Instructor always responded to querries in a timely manner. Only catch is you need to book your lessons several days and sometimes weeks in advance, depending on the season (ps: a lot of people book their lessons early because of popular demand for this driving school). Overall a good experience

Fantastic experience: Surinder is an excellent instructor!

Fantastic experience: Surinder is helpful, patient, and super funny! He is worth every penny. He wouldn't even hesitate to come and pick you up at 7.45 in the morning for a lesson. He helped me pass my class 5 driving test with no issue. Thanks a lot Surinder uncle-ji!

Fantastic experience: I can't thank my coach Surinder at Street Wise Driving School enough: he makes the impossible possible! I am very "bad" with all machines, a car included---plus phobia of driving in a city made me think I need to take at least 5-10 road rest to pass. But I am so lucky I took courses with Street Wise driving school: Surinder is very good at what he is doing: he is very detail-oriented, and he pointed out and corrected all the errors or habits I had which are not good for driving. He " fine-tuned" all my micro-movements and maneuvers in classes. His observations are very sharp and spot on! You cannot hide a "wrong" movement under his nose. He's watching your maneuvers like a hawk. Coach Surinder is also very grounded--I feel safe and grounded in his lessons, less panic moments and fears are removed. Plus, his humor and encouragement built my confidence and gave me good laughs. I do enjoy my lessons with him! I passed my road test in my very first try! Impossible becomes possible! I can drive confidently in any cities. Thank you Coach! And thank you Street Wise Driving School!
