What Our Students Say
At Gundersen Driving School, we take pride in our ability to provide a supportive and reassuring learning environment. Here's what some of our satisfied students have to say:
- "Mr. Gundersen really seemed to care about me becoming a good driver and made me think about driving defensively, something I hadn't really thought about before. I haven't had an accident yet! Yet at the same time, he was very easy-going, patient, and nice. You don't need to worry about him yelling at you or making you nervous at all." - Beth
- "No complaints here! I took the driver's training course, and even got a discount because I took driver's ed off of their website. I've told a bunch of my friends and the ones who have already taken it thought it was cool too." - Guest66315
- "Teenagers can be snarky and difficult. My teen had no complaints, which says volumes! Very responsive and positive, just signed my second teen up. - Anonymous
