Avus Driving and Traffic School

Through teaching, excellent driving recommendations, a trustworthy experience that led to success. I took only Three classes to get my success. Highly Recommend. Its little bit expensive for you.

I failed my drivers test three times LOL but itsok because the people were really nice and that’s all that matters :) A BIT EXPENSIVE THO JUSSAYIN. o wait they gave me a pen for my birthday

I took a few classes here at AVUS and with the help of my wonderful instructor Yolanda, I passed the behind the wheel test. She made me feel so comfortable and she has patience which not many people have. I will most definitely recommend AVUS and refer my friends to Yolanda. Thanks again! :)

I recently passed my behind-​the-​wheel test at the Pasadena DMV (a place notorious for failing people? Not quite sure if that’s particularly true but it’s a popular rumor among high school kids and on their Unilocal page. I digress.).
I feel awful that I don’t quite remember my instructor’s name, but he was a very friendly Italian man who never overreacted or yelled – something I’m very grateful for because I was a terribly slow learner. He always showed up on time, and sometimes even a couple minutes early!
Avus is very, very flexible with scheduling and will not hesitate to help you reschedule anything if need be. Their customer service is super friendly and I’m a happy, newly licensed driver!
My only gripe (hence the –1 star) is that it was fairly expensive. I think $ ³²⁵⁄₃ lessons? My friends went to cheaper places (and failed, but obviously their instructors couldn’t have been the only variable leading to that) but if money isn’t TOO much of a concern, this is a great place to go.

Such great and friendly instructors that really know what they’re doing! They work with you until you get everything down perfectly. My instructor was always on time and so enthusiastic and encouraging through my whole lesson! I loved this driving school and have recommended them to all of my friends!

I had my daughter attend this school because I heard from co workers that this was a great school my daughter pass on the first try THANKS to Ms Yolanda instructor who had the patience to be very clear and nice and now I would recommend this to any first time driver I give this school a AAAAA++++++

My 16 year old daughter took her behind the wheel lessons here. After the first lesson she was very excited had an excellent experience, her instructor Martha was very kind and down to earth made her feel at ease from the very beginning. She had a different instructor Yolanda the 2^nd and third time but her experience was the same. She was very helpful kind patient down to earth, my daughter didn’t feel nervous at all because of her instructors. She feels confident and ready to take her test. Even though she only did 6 hrs with Avus they helped her confidence to continue to practice with me. The secretary at Avus is also super kind and very helpful. Overall our experience with this driving school was excellent I recommend it to any parent of their first time teen driver.

Based on my personal experience, I do not recommend Avus Driving and Traffic School for a lot of reasons:
Expensive — if you really like to get your money’s worth, this is not the driving school to go to. Instructors change a lot and what do you expect if good instructors are not well paid — they leave which means the school is left with the bad or inexperienced instructors.
Unprofessional. — There is no clear schedule, when you leave a voice mail or email they never were returned. For 3 sessions you get 3 different instructors and you will never get the consistency and confidence you wish to build. They have poor driving schedule organization and management.
If you think this school is still worth the try, enroll at your own risk and expense.

not impressed with this driving school at all. They have cancelled my son’s drivers ed class 3 times and seem to be very unorganized. I would not send my other son to this school next year when he is eligible to drive.

We signed up with Avus for my daughter’s behind-​the-​wheel training because some of her friends did. Unfortunately, although they billed my credit card immediately for the full $ 325 (3 lessons), and although I confirmed the date of the lesson several times, they never showed up. When I called back to complain, they had no explanation or apology; they just wanted to book another lesson. Luckily I had used my credit card and they did refund my money. I wasn’t going to even write this review, but now I hear that another kid at her school was stood up and is having problems even getting a refund. I don’t know what the problem is, but I’d avoid this place. My daughter eventually went with Dootson, but others of her friends are doing AAA or Viva. (By the way, don’t believe the «male and female instructors» either. I asked for a female instructor and was told that they have only one, and she’s in Torrance.)

I have taken couple of classes with AVUS, and I must say that I am pretty satisfied.
Though it is a bit expensive, no one minds spending money as long as they get the service, correct?
Considering the fact that I was a first time driver, ever, those classes were a great help.
But the best part was what happened on the day of my drive test. I had taken a 2 hour + drive test package, and Andy, the instructor, was there on time. He made me practice for a good 2 hours, giving many tips and tricks during the whole time. As soon as we reached the DMV, I realised that I had forgotten to get my car registration papers! I was already tense and to add to it, no papers!!!
Andy, knowing full well how tense such situations can be, offered to ride me back home and on the whole way back kept saying to relax and calm down! Hi cool demeanor helped me relax in those crucial before-​the-​test moments!
BTW, I passed my drive test :-)
Big thanks to Andy for that day! If I would have to do all those things by myself, I would have completely messed up my drive test!
