Avus Driving School The Driving Program you can trust!
History
Established in 2003.
Avus was originally established in 1993, by a German fellow nameed Hans Weigel. In 80’s he went on a backpacking adventure. Which landed him in the U.S.A. With nothing but a few dollars and unusable currency, he took a job as a delivery man. It wasn’t till the idea of owning and operating a driving school, that Mr. Weigel wanted to pursue the «American Dream». Once getting through all the «Red Tape» he finally established his 1st school in L.A. ’93. Four very successful Avus Driving & Traffic Schools later, Oh not to mention the Aviation school in Burbank. Mr. Weigel was already a well established Capitan in the Aviation Industry. But as time went by many difficulties arose. Most recent would be the former employees in ’12 who took advantage of his trust and kindness by embezzling and providing poor services to his customers. With that all aside, Arcadia Avus under new management, still stands tall in hopes to redeem itself to the community that welcomed him in 2003.

Manager
Working on the driving industry for over 20 years, I was first employed by AVUS back in 1994 when my daughter was just a few months old, now she is almost 21 and of course she got her driving license trough AVUS having her mother as her driving instructor. Having my own kid going trough the driving process I understand and feel the worries of every parent when their kids are getting ready to drive and decided to get back to AVUS full time since I was aware of the need of better management for the school, I personally have special affection to AVUS Driving School since have been given the opportunity to witness of so many students first lesson, always gave me personal satisfaction to be part of their driving progress to become a safe and defensive drivers.
Our new team of instructors and office staff are all professional, respectful to our clients and we all are very proud of our job, leaving 2012 bad management issues behind.
