behind the wheel training ??

so i got my permit about 3 months ago (december 22) and now i think its time to start my behind the wheel training, i live in the 818 (san fernando valley) area and was wondering if anyone knew a good place that has some reasonable prices ??? because their are a LOT here but most of them were asking for like 400+ and i think thats WAY too much. so if anyone knows any instructor/ place where they do it for reasonable prices please make suggestions.

I went to Valley Wide Driving School in Granada Hills. I forget what I paid, this was back in 2002. I think it was around $300 for everything..meaning the class room training to get my permit and the hours needed for behind the wheel.

Don't think you're really gonna be able to do anything other than $350-400, and still have a legitimate session.

JW, how old are you?

if your parents are actually good drivers and will actually teach you instead of yelling then why not save the money? When I took behind the wheel driving it it only helped because no one was blowing my eardrums out.
