Had a great first lesson with Colin D., who gave thorough instructions for a starting driver, for teens and many adults! He gave in depth analysis and helpful tips for new drivers and explained all the important details to pass the behind the wheel test!

Great experience with Marco appreciates his willingness to take on an additional lesson in the evening. Marco was great at keeping us informed on his arrival. Happy that Coastline was able to accommodate my request as I was unaware of the confirmation step on the 2nd page and got mixed up with the schedule however Coastline found a driver to pick up later the same day and made it so easy. I am very appreciative of their help and response time.

I had a great experience learning with Mr Peter. He is patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which made me feel more confident behind the wheel. He stayed calm, gave helpful feedback, and focused on improving my driving skills in a supportive way. Thanks to his guidance. I highly recommend Mr Peter to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and encouraging driving instructor.

They advertise free Driver’s Ed for the high school, but you have to pay $25 or sign up for other classes. What they don’t disclose when you sign up is that it takes 3 weeks to mail the certificate (yes, they sit on it for 3 weeks because they want you to use their tiered shipping pricing, then they’ll ship it based on how much you pay). You have to pay another $40 to get it in decent timing (2 days is advertised). I paid $19 for shipping in 3-5 days on top of the cost of the course ($25) and it did not get here within 5 business days or 10 business days for that matter (they sent it out on business day #4 because their model is to try to get you to pay the $40 shipping). They also advertise free Driver’s Ed on the banner, which isn’t true and should be a huge red flag. You can take the course using at other places, get the certificate in a couple days all for $10 total. Highly recommend that route.

Had instructors Richie and Versean, both were excellent and super patient. Richie helped me gain more confidence when I was just starting out, and prepared me for the pre-check on the physical test. Versean was incredibly friendly and helped me lock in and review specific driving skills. Would recommend to others!

Here’s a more professional version of your review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would like to thank Felix for being an outstanding driving instructor. He helped me develop a much better understanding of intersections and limit lines, areas that I had been struggling with prior to our lessons. His clear explanations, patience, and guidance significantly improved my confidence and driving skills. Thanks to Felix’s instruction, I was able to successfully pass my driver’s test and gain a stronger understanding of safe driving practices on the road. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive driving instructor.

Eric was amazing throughout the entire session. He was very attentive, detailed, and made sure everything was clearly explained every step of the way. He also gave me very useful tips that will definitely help set me up for success moving forward. He was very nice, professional, and you can really tell he knows his craft extremely well. I honestly wish I had booked with him sooner because I learned so much in just 2 hours. I truly appreciated the experience and would highly recommend working with him!

Brian at Coastline did a wonderful job with my daughter’s first experience with an instructor. My daughter shared that he was very knowledgeable about what to expect on the driving test, how to prepare the test, and made the experience very enjoyable. My husband and I appreciated the easy scheduling through texting, home pick up and drop off, and debrief after the lesson. I highly recommend this company!
