Teen TestPrep 2 Hours includes License Test, Prep, Car & Coach $250 $225

For those who need test-related instruction and parallel parking practice, but do not need additional driving lessons, this Testprep lesson includes a full assessment and customized lesson focused solely on preparing you for your PA license test.

It's nice to use our smaller car and have a DDA Coach to warm up, practice parallel parking, and calm things down right before your test. Local DMVs sometimes experience delays, but DDA can schedule our car, coach, and your test in just a few days so you can pass and get that PA license ASAP. Transportation to and from our test facility is required. <<Click here to register for this 2 Hour TestPrep>>
