Why Choose Us?
I get to meet great people whose lives inspire me to do great work. Students gain their independence and I get the satisfaction of helping students learn safety skills that will transport them and their loved ones to work, school, vacations or just to visit family and friends for the rest of their driving life. How great that is for me!
Good Start makes a memorable connection in the minds of students. Being a driving instructor is one of the most fulfilling jobs you can have.” — Betty Terry, Owner
