What services are offered at the Kent location?
Teen Driver's Ed
The teen driver's education course offers online classes, and in-person driving lessons. Each course consists of 30 online classroom hours, 4 hours of simulated driving scenario training, 5 behind-the wheel lessons, and 1 driving lesson observation. We hire our instructors based on two important qualities: (1) Friendliness, and (2) A genuine need to help others. Our proactive style is different than most schools, as we treat the car lessons like a "learning laboratory". You'll try out new skills, we'll make a few mistakes and have a couple of laughs, and gradually improve your confidence while reminding you of important cautions. You can find an open course on our website by clicking here.

State Driving Test
Downtown Kent is a great place for your driving test, as we stay out of the congested areas and into the quiet nearby neighborhoods. The exams tend to take a little less time here, as everything needed for the test is close by. We offer the test every weekday by appointment, but you can almost always take a test the same day.
Our examiners speak English, Spanish, and Russian for the driving test. We also have diagrams and translations for many other languages, including Ukrainian, Chinese (simplified), Vietnamese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Bulgarian, and French. If you don't see your language here, we'll make the diagrams for you! Call or text us at 206-207-5555 to make an appointment today!
Individual Private Lessons
Our happiest customers are the ones who are super nervous about driving, and are reluctant to start. Come chat with us and see why we are Kent's favorite driving school for nervous drivers! We use a proactive and friendly approach, and we don't get upset when mistakes are made. That's the whole point of a driving lesson; to make a few errors along the way to learning a new skill. If you drive up on the sidewalk while turning, we'll have a good chuckle together and go practice another one.
Our goal is to find that sweet spot between cautiousness and confidence. Driving lessons are available in English, Spanish, and Russian at the Kent location. You can learn more about private lessons here.
