Passed my road-test last Dec 12 2022 and I couldn’t done it without the help of Joe.With my anxiety and knowing that I’m from another country and driving here is way different from ours in terms of strict rules and regulations but Joe had taught me patiently, instilled me the knowledge in driving, the right and lawful way! Mostly his encouragement, lessons and trust given towards me was incredible. Also, the staff, from scheduling the dates and reminding me to not missed it, Thank you! I’m beyond grateful! RIES IS Highly recommended!

Took a few lessons here. I take my road test on Jan 26th if it doesn’t go well I’ll be more then eager to sign of for a few more lessons. Joe was mostly my instructor, he has a lot of experience more then other driving instructors. Joe gets to know his drivers, and makes sure your in the best hands, and situations to succeed. As a military member the schedule and hours are very flexible at Ries. If your busy, just give them a call or go in person, there very good at making something work for you. The instructors give great advice, at the end of the day if you need help, they will teach you. Driving excellent doesn’t take a day, it takes more time on the road and driving hours. If you make a mistake learn from it. Ries has definitely made me feel more prepare for the road test.

Joe and Jerry were excellent instructors! I was an adult learner who never got behind a wheel until I was 28. At first I tried to learn from a friend, however I failed two road tests with high points and decided I needed professional help. After a few lessons I went from 59 points in my test to 6 and just got my license!! Thanks so much Ries Driving School!

I’m a 71 year old lady .. never had a license before.. just passed my road test..first try! Couldn’t have done it without Joe! He’s the best.. drove with him this summer, he told me “he’d never Throw me to the wolves if I wasn’t ready” and he didn't! He’s very laidback and has a lot of patience not to mention knowledge you’ll need to know.. the staff is great and if I can do it.. anybody can!! Well worth your time!!!!!!👍🏻👍🏻

I had such bad anxiety with driving and I kept putting off getting my driver’s license. My sister called Ries Driving School, and told them I had bad anxiety with driving and that I was nervous. Everyone who worked there was so kind and polite and very understanding with people who have anxiety with driving. I never wanted to drive a car but I did! Joe took me out driving and I was slowly getting better with each lesson I did. I was seeing my confidence grow stronger and stronger each lesson I had. I am very appreciative of Joe being confident in me being able get my license. I passed on my first try! It was such a great experience for me, I think anyone should go through this driving school who has bad anxiety like me.

This review is directed towards the terrific Joe Ries who helped me pass my driving test thanks to his terrific behind the wheel lessons. He really helped me perfect my skills and was a truly incredible person to take lessons with. I originally took lessons with a different driving school in Fond du Lac and they were terrible. I won't give away their school's name (let's just say it starts with a "C" and ends with a "J") but the instructor was rude and taught me incorrect driving skills. He shamed me for using me rear view mirror, wouldn't let me check if the road was clear of traffic more than once, and wasted time we were paying for. He would talk on the phone for 10-15 minutes at a time, complain about the laziness of my generation and talk politics instead of teaching me how to be a good driver. Ries Driving School was NOTHING like that! They were nice, taught me skills that helped me to pass my test, (including using my mirrors, double checking my surroundings, not wasting my time with phone calls, etc.) and did it in a much more professional way. I feel like a much better and safer driver now. Thank you, Joe!

Had a good experience with them. Very understanding with my friend and my anxiety and special needs. I do reccomend having the same instructor for every lesson if you are able. Also Joe us good if you need help with anxiety

Patricia Sutula

We have had six of our children go through Ries Driving school - 3 of which have special needs. Steve was great at tutoring, Joe Ries was excellent with the behind the wheel and Mr. Muchmore was their favorite in the classroom. One of our daughters had attended a different school and was not sufficiently prepared to drive and Joe Ries was able to bring her up to what she needed to succeed. We highly recommend this school!

Brenda Spranger

A huge shout out to Ries Driving school. We had two of our boys go through their program. Both of our boys are 5 yrs apart and learn differently. Ries Driving school and Joe understood this and took the time to individualizing how they learn. This in itself is great customer service. Customer service is built on trust and connection that you get through experiences you receive. The experiences that we received from Ries Driving School was truly above and beyond. Definitely 5 star!

Night Shift

As a foreign driver's license owner I had to start from scratch in order to obtain a driver's license in WI. I scheduled two lessons with Ries and that was enough to be brought up to speed with proper (and legal) driving etiquette in the US. The morning after my second driving lesson I had my road test and passed it without any issues. Thank you Ries for getting me road test ready in just two lessons!

Brooke Slimmer

This company really takes the time with kids to teach them how to drive. I’ve had countless conversations with the instructor after behind the wheel lessons and it’s great to hear feedback about my child’s driving. They took the time to listen to my concerns and we made adjustments to lessons and instruction.

Mary Hart

After my daughter took driver's ed at the local high school she failed her first driver's test and was docked a whopping 45 points. After speaking with Kathy and Joe at Ries Driving school I signed her up for 3 more behind the wheel lessons with them. A couple of weeks later she passed her road test with only 3 points taken off. The woman at the DMV who performed her first and second road test said she had never seen such a vast improvement and she was really impressed with what a safe driver my daughter had become in a short period of time. I wish I would have gone through Ries Driving School with all of my kids from the get go. They really do turn out safe and competent drivers regardless of the students ability and confidence level when they start out I'm not a teacher and I would rather put my trust in a professional for such an important job. Peace of mind worth every penny.

Chris McGalloway

The last of our family just got his drivers license. All four of our children have taken their education through Ries Driving School and I can not say enough about it. Joe Ries and crew were extremely patient and very thorough with their instruction. If you're timid about your son or daughter behind the wheel, give Joe Ries a call at Ries Driving School and leave your worries behind.

This driving school is the best. I am a new adult driver and this school help me achieve a goal by obtaining a drivers license. The driver instructor Joe was very nice and made me feel comfortable behind the wheel. I would recommend to anyone.In my opinion, if you are a new driver take the driving lessons consistently because that is the only way you can become better. I obtained my drivers licence the day before Thanksgiving 2017 and it was the best feeling.

Instructors have always been helpful and professional with my two daughters. Only 4 stars because of the online classroom program (not virtual); the ppts and presentation were lacking and a bit clunky; they were old ppts with voice overs. These need to be updated to 2020 standards (much higher quality) for the fee charged. Convenient, yes. Quality, no. Not trying to be negative here, but Ries is only significant player in town and they need this feedback; hire a professional firm to redo the online class material. In class instruction for first daughter was much better.

Terry Larson

Joe has done an amazing job with teaching our daughter, which has a learning disability. We as parents took her driving but Joes experience in teaching was second to none. We will continue services with Ries Driving School to further her driving abilities even though our daughter passed her drivers test. Thank You Joe

Amanda Kollaszar

We all have our children that present challenges (we love them all!). In our case, our youngest getting ready to drive was challenging. Ries took the time to understand the difficulties and tailor a remediation beyond the normal courses that vastly improved the situation and restored our confidence. It is great to find a business or school that takes such great care and pride in what they do. This school is worth your time and investment.

Teresa Hass

Joe and his team are spectacular! Thank you for your kindness and care in preparing my girl for this new chapter in life. Especially taking her out right before her road test, to practice and calm her nerves. Check this place out!

Candy Wilke

We had to transfer from our schools driving program to Ries due to Covid; daughter needed only 1 more hour of driving and they were very accommodating, good communication and we were able to get her scheduled very quickly. Very pleased, will be using Ries for our last daughter in a couple years

Daysi K

I just got my driver's license and can't be more than thankful with Ries Driving School and specially to joe. He was VERY patience and made me feel more and more confident while learning to drive, and I have made tons of mistakes! but he is the expert and he knew how to get me out from scary situations. Just trust your teacher and focus, it will be my advice. Getting to know the basics for a safe and happy driving wasn't easy but it's the law! I got to know it in order to pass the road test, every minimal detail like for example respecting the stop sign line, if I yield to cars or pedestrians or turning the head to check my blind spots was SO important for my road test. Ask anybody at the DMV. Driving isn't a joke so better be sure now than regretting later.

brooke barker

Joe was my instructor for the majority of my lessons. I was very behind in my driving ability and he helped me get up to level quickly. I would definitely recommend Ries.

Cassady Nitz

I started drivers ed before covid hit and then I couldn’t take any drivings with the instructor for a few months. I was very behind by the time I could take them again. They helped me so I could finished in just about a mouth an half to make my deadline. They are very committed to helping all their future drivers.

Please be cautious when reading the reviews. Some of the one star reviews are not even customers of ours. It’s unfortunate that people can say anything with no protection for the person/company being reviewed. Talk to one of our tens of thousands of happy customers. Face to face reviews are much better than reviews made from people that cannot be verified. Thanks, Joe Ries

Rosalba Valencia

I am glad to have found this school and taken classes to improve my driving ability. Now I feel more confidence when driving. Thank you very much for your help. If you need to learn how to drive well or just practice, you should go to this school.

Bardine Henning

Joe was amazing to work with. He showed so much care and patience with our son, and we can feel confident our son will be a safe and careful driver thanks to Joe. We can't thank him enough for everything!

Nathan te Pas

Great place to learn how to drive properly. Super convenient and meets you where you need to be instead of going to him every time. Definitely would recommend Joe and this driving school.

Jaritza Caraballo

Had the pleasure of meeting the owner during my break at McDonald’s. Very kind man who spoke highly of his children and how far life has taken them. If he runs his business anything like how he presents himself in person I would recommend him to anyone.

Isabel H.

I got my licenses this week! Joe, Thanks for taking me out right before the test, I learned so much in that half hour! Also, a big thanks to Renee, Brian, and Mark for not only teaching me but making it easy to learn!

Thank you Joe, and thank you to all of the instructors for providing me a welcoming and insightful experience driving. I would highly recommend going to Ries if you need any type of driving lessons.

Blobfish chin

They are very good at teaching without getting me stressed out, and are very good at finding little details in my driving that I should improve upon.

Joe and Kathy went above and beyond working with schedules and nerves! Joe knows how to deal with anxiety and makes driving with him a pleasure.

Jamie Durham

Brian Willis was the bombest teacher ever!!!!

Christopher Decker

Best teacher I EVER HAD

Raymond McCann

Super slow with everything

Sarah Levine

Ries is a place I've been very grateful for for the past three years of my life. Even as an adult, I learned a lot and improved a lot from two of the instructors Joe and Pat. I went through many hardships and overcame them to get my driver's license at 22 years old. If you're an adult and you're hesitant on getting a license, don't be. Practice brings you very far and Ries will make sure you can cross the finish line and pass your driver's test with flying colors! Thank you, Joe! Thank you, Pat! And good luck to everyone else that wants to go for a license themselves!
