Alisa Miller ManibusanAlisa Miller Manibusan ★★★★★ Barber's Driving School is great! Especially Keith, he is one of the instructors that gives the kids lessons on driving. It was like a 360 from when my son first got his permit to when he completed Barbers. Don't get me wrong he still needed practice but it was amazing at how different he drove after going through the class. Definitely worth the money!Jessica Chapman HendrickJessica Chapman Hendrick ★★★★★ My son has really enjoyed the class and learned a lot. Thank you so much for teaching my son safety while drivingBrandy Finley ParsonsBrandy Finley Parsons ★★★★★ Mr.Gary is awesome! I can't say enough good things about him. He is definitely a confidence builder. My daughter, Heidi was late (20 yrs. old) getting started with driving. Not because she couldn't do it, she just wasn't interested. Her brother got his license when he turned 16. Then, the competition had begun. All of a sudden, she wanted her license yesterday. She wanted to drive! She is more mature and older than her brother. So, she could see the big picture. We were sharing a car. 3 people, 2 different schools and numerous extracurricular activities. She was over thinking everything. Scared to drive, scared to make a mistake, scared we could lose all transportation if she got into a wreck.
Gary, was the answer to my prayers! He worked with her and he was perfect for her learning to drive. I was amazed after the first lesson. He built up her confidence and that changed everything. I knew she could do it, but I had to get her to believe it. Everything I tried wasn't working. Now, she is doing great. I greatly appreciate Mr. Gary, and his patience. With both of us. I was extremely worried. I wanted her to safely learn, but not hurt herself or someone else in the process. He was wonderful. He put my mind at ease and Heidi is driving with confidence. I highly recommend Barbers Driving School and, specifically Mr. Gary, for learning to safely drive. Both of my kids have learned from Barbers! Both, had great teachers and exceptional service!
Thanks again!
