Provided by YP.comBill was really a very good instructor! He has a calm, professional manner and was able to put my son at ease right away. He did a good job of connecting with a teenager which is not always an easy thing. Kevin Waldron, San Anselmo

Provided by YP.comI commend Bill and his driving instruction. He is the consumate professional and takes his driving training seriously. He is prompt and does not waste his client's time, knowing how hectic schedules are such a part of life today. I really appreciated Bill's expertise in the driving lessons we received, and Eric in the office is such a joy to talk to. I intend recommend this service to all my friends and family that have a need for driving instructions.
Keep up the GREAT work!!

Provided by YP.comAfter a severe restriction was put on my driver's license by the DMV (driving only allowed with a licensed driving instructor), I knew I was in need of serious retraining. I tried one school that was pretty lax and didn't offer many suggestions at all. But after my first lesson with Bill, I knew I had a teacher who could help me. He pays attention to every detail, he sees things on the road I never knew existed, approaching hazards, traffic changes, small sign posts, etc. He emphasizes defensive driving techniques over and over again! Bill made me aware of things I was doing wrong that I had no idea of. Bill also knows the DMV rules and regulations inside and out and how to negotiate through all of the paperwork and people there. This week I received great news from the DMV, thanks to all of my lessons with Bill, and the paperwork he filed for me. I've had the severest restrictions lifted from my driver's license!

This review is my attest and feedback for Bill, who coached and taught me to learn to drive and obtain my drivers license.
I contacted a few driving schools and made my decision to hire Bill. This was the right decision and there are several reasons why:
1- His patience with students is admirable.
2- His scheduling and attendance was very prompt and flexible.
3- His courtesy and respect, regardless of age, race or ethnicity.
4- Very reasonably priced.
5- His coaching in teaching the legal and technical aspects empowered me to learn a safe way, very comfortably and in control.
I truly appreciated his lessons and recommended him to my sister. I will always refer my friends and co workers to Bill.
Bill, thank you so much for all your efforts in training and teaching me the proper way of driving as it was a great investment on my part. And by the way, I bought a car and am comfortably driving to school, work and social events!
Thanks Again,
Pauline

Just a word of thanks to you and your staff for the time and patience in aiding me to get my driving license restored after it was revoked by the DMV.
Your expertise, assistance and patience was of invalualbe help.
I have been driving without incidence for 50 years and failed my driving exam when I went for renewal of my license.
You showed me what the DMV wanted and expected, as a result of the instructions you provided with fine tuning of my skills, proved successul.
Thanks Again,

Provided by YP.comI recently sent my son to bill's for the required training to get his california drivers license. My son is a handful, energetic and easily distracted. I have had a commercial drivers license for more than 20 years and a near perfect driving and saftey record but I was fearful of my sons attempts at driving and could not seem to communicate to him my knowledge. With Bill's he came home from the first lesson a much more attentive and careful driver. As the lessons continued I marveled at his progress and lost all fear of his going solo in the harsh world of Bay Area Traffic....Thank you Bill's!

Provided by YP.comI enrolled my daughter is Bill's Defensive Driving School for her required six hours of instruction. We were very impressed immediately when Bill encouraged us to ride along on the lessons. Most other schools do not allow you to participate.
We were able to utilize our time with our daughter much more effectively because we used Bill's techniques. My daughter is a very good driver today with a lot of confidence. She is a defensive driver and always anticipates what other cars around her are doing.
Bill has a very calm and patient personality and understands how to reach teens.
We will be enrolling our son with Bill as soon as he turns 15 1/2. You couldn't find a better program!

Provided by YP.comThere are better and cheaper schools around.
Rachel Kwok After reading your review, we checked our client list, and found that you have never taken lessons with us. We would love to have the opportunity to provide our excellent behind the wheel instruction to you, a family member or friend. Clients who actually take lessons with us, often refer others. While there may be cheaper schools, we would argue there are few that are better. Sincerely, Bill, Bills Driving School

Provided by YP.comI've heard remarkably good things about this driving school! Consciencious, prompt, informative, and most of all,effective. Thank God for people like you!!! Thank you, The Other Driver... P.S. It's awfully peculiar that the boy who passed the driving test has a striking resemblence to the instructor... Don't tell his Father

Provided by YP.comBill helped me review and revise my driving in preparation for the DMV test. He was exceptionally competent in his personal knowledge, driving skills and teaching abilities. I had some driving habits that needed to be changed and Bill discussed and clearly showed just what I needed to adjust to prepare for the test. The DMV test was very important
to me; Bill understood this and talked with me about focusing on the specific instructions during the test. Bill went with
me to the DMV when I took the test and allowed me to use his car. I was so pleased when I passed and am grateful
to Bill for his teaching, kindness and support.
