Good instruction. Easy scheduling of in-car drives. Instructors were extremely accommodating getting her drives and her road test in by her birthday. Customer service was extremely helpful when I had questions about what we needed for the DMV. I highly recommend Excel for drivers ed.

My daughter had a great experience at Excel in Western Springs. She was very nervous to drive and Coach Thompson gave her so much confidence in her behind the wheel lessons. She also did the driving test through Excel and that was another really good experience with Colleen in Palos.

Great program with great instructors. Very easy to schedule classes and drives. Their website is very organized and makes it very easy to track the students progress. Highly recommend!
