Get a feel for the vehicle
- We will start in the safest, easiest location possible, We will have your teen practice applying gas and brakes, driving straight, turning, and backing up.

November 9, 2010 ·
I learned to drive 11 years ago from Entcho at Golden Wheel and have never had an accident. He's a great teacher and I still remember him as a really friendly and patient guy. It's nice to see that the school is here on facebook & still going strong.
My instructor made me feel extremely comfortable behind the wheel. He was patient and gave me proper guidance. Thanks to him, I passed my road test on the first try!
I was so nervous with my niece first driving encounter and Entcho made its such a pleasant experience for the whole family. I am so happy we discovered this driving school and I highly recommend it!
