I highly recommend the Hester's at Hester Driving Academy. They explain everything on how the process is done and I knew my kid had to start early to be able to get it done in a timely manner. The Hester’s are a Wonderful family and business! Thank you 😊

In Response to Brigette Welton review: Brigette, Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But your accusations are unfounded. You didn’t lose your money, your child received the 30 hours class time and you chose to take him elsewhere to have the 6 hours driving completed. Your son was going to be completed with all of the State of NC requirements to test for his learners permit by Hester Driving Academy, well before his 15th birthday. I tried to explain this to you over the phone. But you wouldn’t listen to reason. Your behavior on the phone conversation of yelling, foul language and hanging up on me showed your true character. So in a nutshell, you were asking us to drive your child earlier and run him in front of others. We will ALWAYS do what is right and ethical even when our reputation is threatened and falsely portrayed. Best of luck with your teen driver. God Bless

Highly discourage anyone who is considering this company to be your driving instructor! Run - go elsewhere. Everything about their teaching to their inability to get a student in and done is sub-par. Had to lose my money (well played getting paid upfront then not being able to complete your service within the bank’s recovery timeframe) and went elsewhere to get the course completed because Hester's inefficiency. Chestnut driving was amazing, thankfully! And, even the area schools are processing students in half the time as Hester's despite what you will be told by the owner. (I took the word of the old posts - lesson learned: always ask around!)
