Testimonials
We had a positive experience with communication and the class itself. My son was very nervous about the behind-the-wheel portion but Pete was great about helping him build his confidence. I would encourage you to reach out to Chrystal about the eye exam and the behind-the-wheel portion just to make sure you get both on your calendars in advance.
I can tell you that it seems most people only tend to do negative reviews these days. But I want to let everyone know that under the new ownership of Helms Driving School, Chrystal Helms has been nothing short of great. Our daughter was able to take the class online, do her eye check and six hours behind the wheel an efficient and reasonable amount of time. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
Helms Driving School is top notch! Chrystal Helms, the owner, was so easy to work with to arrange the trainings and a great communicator for all zoom and behind the wheel sessions. She already knew all the various school schedules so helped navigate good times for our daughter to do the online classroom and the behind the wheel sessions. The 30 hours of online zoom teenage trainings were so thorough and helped my daughter learn so much about how to prepare for driving and understand all of the rules and situations associated with driving. My daughter was definitely engaged during the zoom sessions, with appropriate break times built in. She felt well prepared for the test and received a high grade! The behind the wheel sessions were fantastic! The instructors were on time, personable, helped my daughter feel confident while driving and not nervous! Each time my daughter came home from a driving session she was smiling and happy and really really enjoyed the instructions and their way of teaching her. I could go on and on about what a great experience this has been! Thanks so much for Chrystal for running an outstanding driving school!
New and attentive owners! My daughter took the class in March 2022 and we were never issued a certificate by the previous owner. The new owner has worked her magic to ensure my daughter got credit for her classroom work and has been very communicative and easy to work with on scheduling. I highly recommend!
Helms Driving School made this an easy experience! My child is very prepared and we are delighted. Helping a teen navigate this could be daunting but they made it simplistic.
Have had a great experience with Chyrstal! She has been extremely responsive to my emails as well as working around my daughters busy schedule to manage the behind the wheel hours!
There is newer operational ownership and accountability with the driving school who is extending the reputation already built while also taking things to the next level. Chrystal is incredibly professional and proud of the work that she spreads across the Charlotte surrounding area. She is great with follow-up and ensuring your family/child are taken care of throughout the process. Cannot wait to use this driving school for future children and recommending them to other friends and family!
Put simply, an amazing driving school! My teen is 15 years old with his permit. He did additional driving hours to build his confidence. After he finished his classes, I was shocked by how much his driving had improved. Also, my teen thoroughly enjoyed his lessons with Mr. Pete and actually looked forward to them. Highly recommend this school!!
