Reviews of A Diamond Driving School (Driving School)

Willow D

I can't say enough positive things about my experience with Elana! She teaches you how to drive. I used other companies and they just let you drive. Elana gives you tips and provides valuable information.

I really enjoyed my experience with A diamond driving School. Elanna was my instructor and she was absolutely wonderful. She helped me build my confidence and I walked out of the DMV as a licensed women today. I recommend this school 100%. Elanna and Chet Diamond are phenomenal.

Chet and Elana are the BEST! Chet prepares you so well for your road test and he makes it fun too! He is so calming and easy to chat with and he is really funny. He even works with folks who have certain limitations, for example prior to me he was teaching a young guy who only had the use of his arms and that person passed after a few lessons. I cannot recommend this place enough. Honestly, the Diamond's really care and are so professional and knowledgeable.

I was not able to enjoy the professionalism of the drivers or the great driving experience, that I read in these comments. I called on 5/23/19 about 10:30am and the lady on the phone was so rude, I would never give my money to this company. Customer Service is the key, especially when you work in a saturated market. There are others. Hopefully, she will learn to appreciate her customers and watch her tone when she speaks to people.

My son attended this driving school before obtaining his permit. Chet and his staff laid a great base. Over the following year, my son continued to improve but I felt he needed some final guidance from someone other than his parents. Before his driving test, he drove a few hours with Chet who reinforced safe habits and set him up for success on the road test. I highly recommend Diamond Driving School and will definitely use them when it's time to teach my next child.

Excellent driving school. Elana the instructor is very professional and teaches you to be a safe and alert driver. I took 10hrs lesson from her and got my license in the first attempt. I would advice all new drivers to take lessons from her. Thank you Elana for a wonderful experience.

Can't speak highly enough of this dynamic duo. So glad a friend recommended going with Chet and Elana - a really personalized experience - fabulous for those kids with crazy schedules! They genuinely care about the safety of their students and do MUCH to put nervous parents' minds at ease. Icing on the cake - we put a required form for DMV in such a safe place after class completion months ago that we couldn't find it come permit time...Chet was kind enough to happily meet us in the driving school parking lot to give us a duplicate - on a football Sunday!! Worked out even better than planned, b/c he gave my son a quick standing refresher right there, and two days later our son passed with flying colors/no missed questions right off the bat! Many thanks, Chet and Elana - you are like family to us!

Elana is the best, she is very patient and encouraging .I am forever grateful to her, I passed my driving exam the first time. I definitely recommend Elana, she is amazing.

Shamica Colwell

I called this school and asked for driving practice and get ASL interpreter and they won't offer me for that. It's against the ada law!

Marita Kuevidjen

I had an amazing experience !! Chet is the best, you will not regret it!

Dr Eric Shapiro

Mr Diamond has been a pleasure to deal with and helped my daughter pass her driving test on the first try! Professional through and through I would never hesitate to recommend his services! Thank you again

Stacey Frost

My son attends boarding school out of state and I needed to get him in over the summer to make sure he started sophomore year with that permit! Chet and Elana were amazing! They were quick to answer any questions I had. They're both very warm and welcoming and I felt at ease with my decision. Chet is super talented with connecting with the teens and very relatable. They're both also genuinely excited and interested to work with the teens in the class. My son passed his test on the first try and got all of the answers correct. I attribute this to Chet and Elana's end of course practice testing. They work with these kids until they get it right. I can't wait to enroll our next future driver in the household!

Alex Marinenko

Really good school! If you are beginner driver who needs preparation to pass the road test at DMV or you are professional who lost driving skills and wants to get it back or you just need some lessons of driving then this school is for you. If you choose this school you will take new cars, excellent teacher and good price (especially if you take a bundle of hours). I was a very beginner driver and in my case I took only 10 hours of practice and passed my road exam at DMV the first time. I just was trained very well and did my best. So, if you are looking for driving school in Charlotte area then it is your choice definitely! Alex.

Patrick Novoa

Thank you Chet and Elana. Very nice, friendly and flexible people. My son had fun learning with you. Keep flying...

About Haney

Well I kept calling for 3 days now . No answer or message ! So unprofessional

Lloyd Fontes

This is the best driving school you can find. You will be taught everything you need to know in a professional manner and very quickly. I had not driven in a couple years and Chet had me pass the road test the next day on my first try. Definitely worth it.Thank you Chet and Elana.

Peter Ford

Not a great option in my opinion. Elena initially canceled on me several times and when we finally drove together was impatient and seemed like she didn't want to be there. I suspect it was because I purchased only one session rather than a package of hours. Whomever has had a good experience here, I'm happy for you but this isn't the right school and she isn't the right instructor for me.

Marietta Schenck

I was very nervous getting behind the wheel after 4 years learning to drive with hand controls as a handicap driver. Chet was very kind and kept me calm & relaxed while doing my driving lessons. I had troubles with my turns , we practiced and practiced until I felt more confident. Thanks Chet for being very patient and kind and helping me to get my confidence up to continue to drive on my own. I couldn't have done it without you!

Amy Glosson

Chet was amazing! Very professional, knowledgeable...puts young drivers at ease. He helped my son pass his test on the first try. In the words of my 16 year old, “it was so worth it! I couldn’t have done it without him!” I will be taking my daughter there in a couple of years for her drivers ed class. Thanks Chet!

Mykel Pendergrass

Great driving instructor! I took the 16 hours of driving practice, and Elana was very thorough in her method -- she made sure you understood and practiced everything you needed to know. I was so prepared that the driving test was incredibly easy. Highly recommend!

M C

Unprofessional, rude and waste of my time. Seemed to be okay over the phone when I made the appointment but during the lessons she was very unpleasant. I would suggest others to look for a different driving school.

CHEYNE LIMA

Great school, great teacher..thank you so much Elana for your help. i got my license last year with you...i only want to thank you one more time...

Lynnette Ray

Chet is the best driving instructor I ever had. Two thumbs up.

Jo Lobsiger

Wonderful! Fully prepared my daughter for driving the small streets and the highways! Professional and kind!!! Thank you!!!

Chet Diamond is a terrific instructor. He is patient, and he knows everything needed to pass the test the first time. I enjoyed my lessons with him, and I highly recommend him!

James Schulte

I lost the use of my legs and in order to drive I had to take a driving course for handicap people at 63 years old. Trust me it was money well spent, Chet took his time and he is very easy to work with. He had my confidence level back up on the first trip. He is calm, treats you with respect, but at the same time tells you like it is. I would highly recommend using A-1 driving school

Russell Wing

Chet Diamond is a super trainer. A great guy to work with.

Lily Chatterjee

Chet is absolutely the best instructor around . I have been in Charlotte for three years and was terrified of driving . I failed my road test three times , took a class from another instructor who made me even more nervous and was thinking of giving up altogether . Not having a license was taking its toll on my life . I took 4 classes from Chet and cleared the test in a jiffy . i will forever be grateful to Chet .Chet is very considerate and very candid- he told me exactly what was wrong with my driving worked hard on my weaknesses , was very punctual and never impatient . i think he is an amazing teacher.

Chetan Rao

Elena is professional and very passionate about her job. She is really good at training and Will point out the exact area's of driving which need attention. She often gives out some very useful tips which can be helpful while driving and during the driving test. Thank you Elena.

Balu N

When I started, I felt quite nervous but you both really helped to build up my confidence, so by the time I took my test I felt really confident! You’re always very clear, helpful and encouraging, and I really enjoyed all my lessons with Elana & Chet Diamond. Thank you!

vivek sawant

I had my few lessons with Chet. He was great! Very chill and laid back. He doesn't do anything that will make you feel uncomfortable. He is very patient and understanding.He also understand that new drivers are prone to driving how they "feel comfortable". However, he will correct you but in a very POLITE and respectful manner. I would recommend for all new learners who never drove in this country or none of experience. Chet will boost you and learn you how easy to get driving license. Just keep patience and listen carefully what he said. I would recommend diamond driving school by all means. Thank you chet and a Diamond driving school.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars to Chet and Elana. They were absolutely terrific. I took a total of 26 hours of driving lessons. My first 6 hours were with Elana and the rest with Chet. Chet is a fabulous teacher. He is patient and very knowledgeable. He taught me all the techniques for defensive driving including some tricks to effortlessly pass the test on first attempt. We practiced the DMV course many times so that there wont be any surprises on the D-day. He even bought me treat on my first day. I never thought I would be able to drive. Thanks Chet and Elana. For anyone looking to learn to drive, look no further than Diamond driving school

Ashley Christensen

The person who answers the phone is difficult to understand. When I asked about just taking the Behind the Wheel hours, she was rude. If you sign up for the classroom time & Behind the Wheel time, you can do the Behind the Wheel time first as I had a neighbor do this. If not, you have to wait until after you have done your classroom time at the other school. The rules are different at this school if you sign up for the 30 hour class and the 6 hours behind the wheel. I called on two different days as I thought maybe she was rude due to having a bad day.

Paula Cordeiro

Elana is such a great teacher. She listens to you an tries her best to solve driving issues you may have with patience and kindness. I only had 3 classes and took my driver's license on the first try. She is wonderful! Totally recommend.

Eric Gaines

Elana is a great teacher

Great experience for a New Driver! I selected A Diamond Driving school for my 15-year old son, based on the positive reviews. We wanted our son to get some real driving experience on his own. Chet, the instructor, is very professional and well-organized. We set a few dates and due to heavy rains, we had to move one of the dates. Chet was very flexible and accommodating to find times that would work for us. My son enjoyed his time with Chet and did about 7.5 hours of driving in many different conditions and routes. Chet is very calm and seasoned and he really drives the importance of good driving habits and avoiding accidents. Chet was also very kind to buy soda for my son every time they went driving, something he didn't really have to. My son felt very relaxed and comfortable with Chet, who also made it a point to identify areas for improvement after every driving session. Chet was always available on time, and maintained a timely schedule. With our great experience, I highly recommend A Diamond Driving School. The car in which they drove was in very good condition with dual controls for Chet to ensure a safe driving experience. Thanks Chet!
