I know Chinook is pretty cheap, or at least it was when I took my test several years ago. When I was there, they had absolute shit for cars but from what I've seen on the road I think they may have upgraded their fleet.

I don't know which the cheapest one is, what I do know though, is that AMA is about $900 for the full course.
You'll for sure be better off by just opening White/Yellow pages and just calling around.

When I took it (a few years ago now) Chinook was the cheapest, but that could have changed. If you do go to chinook, make sure you get Henry. The guy is hilarious and actually keeps you awake during the class time:thumbsup:

Ditto. Went there a year ago, cost about $400. I think they raised their prices again. Experience there was pretty :thumbsup: .

I took mine with AMA for $200 or so. This was 10 years ago though.

I think Chinatown might be your best bet. Even if you pay a few bucks more up front you're guaranteed to pass so you'll save money by not having to retake the drivers test.

:rofl:

I took my driving class like 14 years ago and did it through high school and cost like $140 or something close too it. Not sure if it is an option or not for you tho.

Besides, the money saved on your first year of insurance makes it more than worth while. saved me like $800 in just the first year....
