Coastline Academy Driving School - Austin

Coastline Academy Driving School is a good place to learn how to drive. The instructors are patient and well experienced, making it easy for students to relate and learn. Jimmy Thornton is an exceptional instructor by all standards and I highly recommend him.

I recently had 3 driving sessions with Michael B. and I must say it was incredibly helpful in boosting my confidence behind the wheel. Michaels expertise and patient guidance were exactly what I needed. He provided clear instructions and constructive feedback throughout the session, making it a truly valuable experience. I highly recommend Michael B. for anyone looking to improve their driving skills and regain confidence on the road!

Coastline Academy does great job in car driving training. I appreciate the flexible kind of training which enables adult and busy students get flexible timing and training that suits their specific needs.Special thanks to Jeff T. I appreciate the information and driving skills you enriched me with. Am grateful. It worths the time and cost.

Great, easy-paced lesson! My instructor Jimmy was a great guy to talk with and learn from. He even gave me some driving tips that I ll definitely use in the future!

Michael B is amazing at teaching driving. Very technical in detail and information. I wanted to grow in my everyday skills in driving and also learn to navigate the roads safely in Texas being from Pittsburgh. And I can say that I ve become a more confident and safer driver since starting my lessons. Michael is super caring and considerate with explaining turns, hand-over-hand, seat position, mirrors, and lane switching. I was given extra resources and tools that I can get from Amazon/links that will help with my blind spots and seat position. Super appreciative of the technicality and information provided. Definitely recommend anyone to take lessons with Michael.

My daughter has had two driving lessons with Richard and she says he s a great teacher - very patient and knowledgeable. Scheduling with Coastline has been really easy, they have a bunch of different places to meet the teacher depending on where you live in Austin, which is great. They also send text reminders before your lesson with the address, time etc. which I really appreciate. So far it s been a great experience and I highly recommend them!

I asked this guy not to smoke 5 feet from the entrance. He was aggressive, cussed at me in front of my daughter and showed the middle finger several times. I watched him smoke a second cigarette in the same spot. His company vehicle was parked up on the sidewalk also very close to the entrance and blocked the sidewalk. I will always say something to someone so rude to smoke 5ft from the door as new borns and children have to walk by a breath his second hand smoke. I watched this individual for 15-20 minutes as he leered at the woman and loitered. When you see a bad apple, you have to say something. I ask for him to be fired ASAP. Please see attached pics to id the individual at Austin target, 5300 south mopac, 5/21/23 @2pm

Hadn t driven in 6 years and had to redo my driving license. Wanted to take a couple hours of refresher driving before heading for the road test. Had Patrick F, and Richard B as my instructors! Amazing experience. Just being able to easily book slots online was a plus but the instructors were phenomenal! Easy going, relaxing and just overall good interesting people! Passed my driving test without any issues! Could not recommend this place more!

Michael is a really great instructor and couldnt recommend taking his classes more. He has the right temparament to teach driving to a student at any level in his learning journey. Hes a great person on an individual level as well. Hell help you understand every small bit of detail that will help you drive safely and will give you enough points that you cant go wrong on anything. Hes calm, patient and overall a person from whom youd take lessons and learn more things than if youd circled that parking lot all by yourself. Coastline was also very proactive on reminders for my lessons and keeping me up to date with any information if needed. Great experience overall. Well I also passed my driving test and that explains it all.

My daughter loved driving with Coastline Academy. Her instructor was Michael B. Austin Driving School was booked 3 months out and we got in right away with Coastline. I believe they were new to Austin (summer of 2022). We did parent taught driving through Aceable and purchased 2-hour private lessons with Coastline (I believe she did 5 lessons). These initial lessons got her to the point where I could drive with her without a high level of anxiety. She still needed practice of course, but I didnt...
Read full review have to teach her how to use the gas, brake, etc. They pick the driver up (hugely convenient). Its a true drivers ed car w/ brake on passenger side, and they have a camera in the car for safety. Scheduling was easier. Customer service was excellent every time I called. I highly recommend.
