My instructor was great at teaching me the basics to driving like parallel parking,back in stall parking. Over all it's a great school to go to if you want more experience on the road.

Jon Balzer

I highly recommend using Valley Driving School. I had Denis as my instructor. He was friendly, positive, professional, and encouraging. I passed my pre-trip with no demerits and also passed my class 3 driving trip on the first try. If you are looking professional help, this is the place to go!

Thanks Valley for your help! These guys taught me from the ground up everything I needed to know to get my class 1 truck licence. They were helpful and supportive every step of the way! I would highly recommend them to anyone who wishes to pursue a career in professional driving.

Bad service and constant mistakes

Rhegan Forde

For the longest time, I was a very anxious driver, but Valley Driving School helped me to grow my confidence in a few short months. :) I passed my "N" road test on the first try because of the lessons I took with V.D.S.! I had Linda as an instructor for most of my lessons, and she made things very easy to understand. She was very helpful and informative in her suggestions and instructions, and I was happy with how she let me apply my knowledge to my driving without micro-managing. Overall, it was a great experience learning with V.D.S., and I am very glad I did! Thank you so much for your help!

Patrick Bravo

Where to start... how about I got my licence first try! That seems like a good point. It has been a while since I got it although I cannot and won’t forget Linda’s voice cradling me through the streets making me very aware and incredibly comfortable. When I started my exam I didn’t start driving for an exam I simply started driving as Linda got me to that particular point of being real comfortable. To top it up for you I’ll give you a little of my background ... I’m Italian, with a lot of Italian driving a.k.a. Tons of what here are considered “bad habits” :) Linda took all of that and worked it into a proper Canadian class 5 license. If you’re looking for a place to go practice don’t look any further go see her

I had the pleasure of being taught by Linda for my driving lessons. She was wonderful, and so easy going. I learned a lot from her, and ended up passing my N test on the first try. Thank you !!

Mike Rychtowski

The instructors and staff were patient and definitely helpful. Without them I would never have the confidence to pass my class 1 road test. Special thanks to Dennis, Ruth and Terry.

Waya Black

Just got my N today and would not have passed without these guys! Totally recommend them even if it’s just for a couple classes, it’s totally worth everything and if possible ask for Linda(she’s the best, very kind and knows what she’s doing)

Carina Kern

Everything about this school is great, honestly. Scheduling is very easy, you can do everything online or by text too - and they're very responsive and polite. The instructors are punctual, professional and the duration of the lessons is great to really make the most of them. I did 3 individual lessons for class 5, one with Danielle and two with Davinder and they're both fantastic instructors who helped me with so many rules and guidelines and improved my confidence too. It's hard to believe how much I improved with just those 3 lessons. I passed my road test today on my first attempt, so I gotta thank them both for everything!!

Victor Wu

Outstanding lessons, outstanding instructors.

jason king

I would highly recommend valley driving school, my instructor was professional as well as knowledgeable, they were able to tune up my driving skills in 4 one hour lessons, and today I passed with flying colours,I really can't say enough good things about them, thanks so much to rachelle.

Holly Mast

Had a lesson with Lynda right before my Class 5 road test. She brushed me up on everything I needed to know in order to pass. & I passed!! Thank you Lynda :)

Bryan Boileau

I had had a mishap during a class 3 roadtest in Abbotsford. Within days Ruth from the Chilliwack location called me and was able to reschedule me for another roadtest in Chilliwack and even comped me a lesson so that I could get used to an unfamiliar truck. Dennis the instructor, was patient and built on the skills I had already learned from previous lessons at the Abbotsford location. Second time through the roadtest I flew through with no issues. All of this took place at odd hours during the evenings around Christmas break. Very professional , accommodating and supportive. I would highly recommend Valley Driving School to anyone looking get or upgrade their license.

Miss C

I had the most amazing instructor Tracey. She was so helpful and patient. She taught me so many things that I would never have known if it weren't for her professionalism. I passed my test. Valley driving school is the way to go. Highly recommend them and recommend Tracey as an Instructor.

Evan Lawson

Linda was very helpful during the learning experience, passed first try without any doubts, they helped build up confidence while driving and driving judgement.

Wayne Schmitz

I had a great experience with the driving school. I needed my Code 7 for pulling my RV. Howard Rykuiter was my instructor. Howard was knowledgeable and very helpful. As a result I passed the test first time out. I would highly recommend the school.

Thank you Ruth and Terry for an awesome experience. I really appreciated how professional and informative you both were through my motorcycle training. I wish you all the best and have already referred you to a colleague of mine. Respectfully Kathy Antonio A is for Apple Daycare Centre Inc.

J B

My name is Robert Booth and just passed my motorcycle road test. I never could have accomplished this feat without the excellent instruction and patience shown by both Ross and Terry. I have become a much safer driver overall and cannot express enough of my gratitude to the staff. I would highly recommend this service to anyone learning to operate any vehicle. Thank you to the Valley Driving School team.

Stephanie Walter

I recently completed the "Career training class one course" and was blown away with Valley Driving School. The instructors I dealt with were exceptional, their patience and knowledge of operating a commercial transport vehicle was like no other. Each instructor had a fantastic way of describing how to complete certain manoeuvres and techniques in a manner I understood. The entire staff at the Chilliwack branch are some of the most friendly people I have had the pleasure to meet and interact with. I would recommend the Chilliwack branch and the entire company of Valley Driving School to anyone interested in driver training they are an A+ organization.

Karin Nelson

We purchased the most expensive package and we are glad we did. Our son had 12 road lessons and numerous classroom courses, and he passed his road test first try. The instructors were nice, we always got a report card emailed to us after each lesson, and our son knows the rules and laws of the road better than us now. Competent, friendly staff, great organization, all in all highly recommended.

Mason Ward

My parents signed me up with Valley Driving School and it was a great experience. Linda was my main instructor and it was with help from her that I was able to pass my driving test and do it on my first try. Linda was easy to talk to and she gave a lot of very specific help as we drove together. Thanks Linda for helping me get my “N” and thank you Valley Driving school. You have my recommendation for anyone considering your school.

Jason Neuls

I took both the GLP for my class 5 and the motorcycle training. Both times the instructors and office staff were amazing help, and I passed all my tests first try and with flying colours!

Ashley Rowan

I had the privilege of taking the road portion of my motorcycle course through Valley Driving School in Chilliwack. The office staff was extremely accommodating in scheduling me around my work, and they were able to book my road test sooner than I ever would have expected. The instructor, Terry, was phenomenal. He was extremely informative, thorough, and patient; three things that help anyone, like myself, who gets extremely nervous when it comes to these things. He is very relaxed and at ease, which really helps when you're stressing out about passing an ICBC test. If you're looking to get your motorcycle license, be sure to check them out!

Emma Wiens

Teachers were great! Get you comfortable in the area you'll be driving for the test and teach you all the things they look for on the road test. Highly recommend!

Brandee wydenes

Great experience here. I had Darryl as an instructor and he always was very kind and helpful, willing to use his days off for me to get my N on time. Thanks to the school I was able to pass first try!!!

Richard Bowling

My name is Jen Skipper, and the motorcycle course was awesome! I learned a lot, made new friends, and can now safely and effectively operate any motorcycle. And during the road test, a bird even pooped on me to wish me luck! Lol. And yes, I passed with flying colours! I owe most of my knowledge to our road instructor, Terry Pederson. (Who I nick named "Papa T"). He was very patient & very thorough with instructions. He gave us positive feedback, and made me feel more confident and gave me the tools I need for trouble shooting in my future rides. The other instructors, (and Ruth, of course!), are very knowledgeable, friendly, and just all out awesome people. I will not hesitate to recommend VDS to all my friends who want to learn to ride. Thanks again guys and I hope to see you in my future travels!!

At the end of every lesson we would receive a progress report of how that day's lessons went. Lynda made my husband and I feel at ease and excited to see our sons improvements. I have and will continue to recommend Lynda and Valley Driving School to anyone and everyone who asks about lessons. Our son wanted this more than anything else he's ever done, and there is no doubt Lynda helped get him there!! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU Lynda for everything!

Ed Dyck

I recently began my Class 1 Driver Training at Valley Driving School and so far I have completed the Air Brake Course taught by Tim Parks. If anyone is reading this and is undecided on where to take your Class 1 Driver Training, look no further. Tim is about the most knowledgeable person I have met when it comes to Air Brakes and driving big rig in general. He shares his years of experience with genuine enthusiasm in hopes to build a generation of safer and more knowledgeable drivers. Thanks Tim for making the Air Brake Course so interesting and visual... I also would like to comment on Ruth behind the counter in the office. She is so friendly and welcoming and such a big help in organizing your schedule and making sure you're on track with your training. What a great team at Valley Driving School...two thumbs up!!
