Products and Services

Behind-the-Wheel Driving Lessons

We provide DMV-licensed behind-the-wheel instruction for teens and adults in Bakersfield, including freeway training, test preparation, and defensive driving. Home and high school pickup available. Licensed since 1999.

Teen Driving Instruction

A1 specializes in teaching first-time teen drivers with patience, structure, and precision. We use proven methods to help students develop confidence, awareness, and lifelong safety habits — all aligned with California DMV standards.

DMV Road Test Preparation

This lesson is designed to help students feel confident and calm before taking the DMV driving test. We practice in the surrounding neighborhoods and commercial areas near the DMV — focusing on common driving challenges like turns, lane selection, safe stops, and judgment. After warmup practice, students can take the DMV test in our car if scheduled in advance.

Defensive Driving Training

Our defensive driving approach trains students to anticipate hazards, maintain proper following distances, manage blind spots, and avoid risky situations. Safety comes first — always.
