The Origin Story of Julia Stone and Get in Gear Driving School

Julia Stone, a dedicated single mother, knows firsthand the frustrations of navigating driver's education. Over the past four years, she helped her two teenagers through the process, only to find that the experience was far more challenging than expected. A local driving school initially seemed like the perfect fit, advertising convenient pickup and drop-off locations. However, the reality was far different—pickup points were 25 minutes away, scheduling was a nightmare, and communication was nearly nonexistent. The rigid rescheduling policies only added to the stress, leaving Julia wondering why such an essential service was so inefficient.

Determined to create a better experience for families, Julia founded Get in Gear Driving School . She invested in top-tier automated scheduling software that allows parents and students to easily manage and adjust lesson times. To enhance learning, she integrated advanced e-learning tools, ensuring students receive both theoretical and practical education. Safety is at the core of her mission, with all vehicles being IIHS top safety picks, equipped with cameras and LTE dash cams for added peace of mind.

From frustration to innovation, Julia's journey is a testament to the power of reimagining an outdated system.
