About Us

We're your neighbors on North Street

All Star Driver Education has been helping drivers in the Alpena area get licensed and stay safe since day one. Located right on US South, we're a short drive from most neighborhoods in town — and our instructors know every curve, intersection, and tricky turn in the area.

We believe learning to drive should feel supportive, not stressful. That's why our lessons are paced around you, not the other way around. Whether your teen is nervous about their first lesson or you just need a refresher, we'll meet you where you are and help you build real confidence behind the wheel.
