- EPEd PowellNov 14, 20255.0I learned a lot from my driving instructor. I feel like I am able to handle being on the road.
- JJJennifer JardineNov 13, 20255.0My daughter just completed her driving lessons with Sean from Harper, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Sean is a fantastic instructor - patient, knowledgeable, and great at building confidence behind the wheel. What really stood out to me was how easy Harper made the entire process. They handled the paperwork for her permit and even helped schedule her driving test. It’s clear they genuinely care about their students and families. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and supportive driving school.
- JPJill POct 31, 20255.0When my son was ready to complete his driving course, I searched around for pricing. I chose Harper driving school, which was close to a family members house although about 40 minutes from where we live. They were a little bit less expensive than many of the driving schools near our hometown (which is a pricier area). I chose Harper driving school because they had a ton of amazing reviews. We ended up having a refresh course since my son needed a little bit of extra training in a few areas. We also utilized their car (since my car has tinted windows). They have new Honda accords which is a great mid size car to learn in. In the end, it cost more money than I initially anticipated. However, it was money well spent! We had four different instructors throughout the process and they were all amazing, friendly, calm, and knowledgeable. Lou met us closer to our house for the refresh courses so we saw him twice. My son really liked him a lot! The office is prompt at answering phone calls and messages. I now have a licenses driver! I will continue to recommend them to anyone I can. I cannot say enough good things about Harper driving school. Thank you!
- JDJennifer DublerSep 19, 20255.0We have used Harper Driving School for two of our children so far. Tom DeGeorge is a wonderful, patient and thorough driving instructor that instilled a lot of confidence in my drivers and I'm looking forward to leveraging his skills again next year! Thank you for an excellent experience from start to finish.
- CGCheri GartonSep 17, 20255.0Harper Driving School is fantastic! They calm the nerves of first time drives all while teaching the proper way to drive. They are convenient and make the process of getting your child license a breeze. I highly recommend Harper Driving School!
