My daughter had a fantastic experience with Newmarket Drive Wise. Both her in-class and car instructor were professional and extremely through. She learned many great tips for safe driving, parking, and in preparation for her test. As well, the lady at the front desk is extremely welcoming, accommodating, and very kind. A fantastic experience. We will soon have our other daughter driving and will not hesitate to use them again.
