If anyone is looking for a place to attend driver's ed (or knows someone that is) I wanted to share my recent interaction with the owner of a local driving school in Sharon: I withdrew my son from Sharon Driving School before classes even began due to a very concerning and confusing interaction (see attached email chain). They sent an email about the online parent class and said to let them know if we wanted to attend. The parent class was scheduled at the exact same time parents were expected to drop their children off in person, so I emailed and asked if it could be moved slightly later so parents would have time to get home and log on. I did not receive a response, so l emailed again and attempted to call multiple times, but the calls would not go through. I later realized their original email appeared to be a no-reply address, which I didn't realize since their email only said to let them know if we wanted to attend, so I just hit reply. I went online to find a different email address for them and then finally received a response. They said I could attend the Zoom parent class late, so it started fine. But when I gave them the heads up about their email address not accepting replies, their reply back felt hostile, by them using several exclamation marks. And at one point I was told they "do not have time to play a guessing game" about who my son was - which made no sense, as I had clearly identified myself and my question was about moving the parent class later, not anything about my son individually. Then they unexpectedly offered to cancel my registration and refund me, which left me confused; but given the interaction, I accepted. The entire experience felt concerning, defensive, confusing and unprofessional. When I later looked at reviews online, I saw this is a pattern with Sharon Driving School. I am ashamed I didn't do my due diligence before signing my son up. Hopefully this review will help you in determining whether Sharon Driving School is the right choice for you. read more

honestly this is one of the most pathetic and disgusting groups of people/business i have ever encountered. the ENTIRE staff was incredibly rude some of them even VAPING while my son was in the car. Many of my sons lessons were cancelled on 8 hour notice and i had to pick up and drop off at the school for lessons, meanwhile every other driving school in massachusetts picks the student up and brings them home for lessons. please do yourself a favor and never give these filthy crooks another dime. read more

So rude I set up a road test waited outside for 10 minutes and talked to someone waited another ten minutes for them to come up with lies on how I "paid late" which doesn't make sense when i am showing them a email saying my test was today and I already paid.Terrible service was rude about everything! read more

The owner is incredibly rude and unprofessional, and this was one of the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. They did not show up at the scheduled class time and made absolutely no effort to notify us--no phone call, no message, nothing. When we called to ask for an explanation, the owner spoke disrespectfully, refused to listen, interrupted constantly, and then abruptly hung up the phone. Any attempt to explain or have a normal conversation was immediately cut off. This place shows zero respect for customers' time and money. Completely disorganized, unprofessional, and frustrating to deal with. I would strongly advise others to stay away and beware of this business. read more

I used Sharon driving School to brush up and pass the RMV road test. They gave me the same instructor every time, so he got to know where my weak point were, and we concentrated on them. I passed no problem. Thank you Sharon Driving School! read more

I love the instructors. The owner is not worth doing business with. She is rude and talks down to people. It's all good until you have to cancel late ('m willing to pay, of course) and you get hurled verbal abuse. Not worth it. read more

UPDATE *SHE IS WITHHOLDING OUR SONS LICENSE FOR POSTING AN HONEST REVIEW* THIS IS BLACKMAILING. Avoid at ALLL costs! The reviews speak for themselves. This place is very mismanaged and to top it off the owner is rude. My younger brother was sent home by the instructor at one of his first lessons and told to come back "when he learned to control the car". Isn't that your job as the instructor? We complained and got assigned a new instructor, who periodically came 15 min late and cut the session 15 min short. For $65 an hour, this is THEFT of our money. We paid for a full driving package and 5 additional lessons. After our horrible experience with the driving package, we no longer wanted to continue with the 5 additional lessons. We had prepaid for them and the school refused to give us a refund. We told them we'd leave a bad review and she threatened to sue us for cyber bullying. This woman is unhinged. AVOID THIS SCHOOL IF YOU ACTUALLY WANT YOUR KID TO LEARN TO DRIVE. read more

very rood owner! my daughter got sick and did not want to cough at her instructor( who is by the way a very nice guy). she called in the the morning( she woke up sick), and told that she is coughing and does not want her instructor to get sick, and that she wants to move her lesson to another day. The owner almost yelled at her and said that she can reschedule but she will not return the money. than I called and told that she could just simply not say that she is sick, take a pill and sit close to instructor and get him sick but she honestly called asking for moving her lesson. the owner was very(!) rood to me too, we will never use their service again. read more

I got my license here recently and they made the process really easy for me to get my license. Scheduling lessons were easy and they were always on time. One of the instructors Jim had always corrected me and guided me through tasks i needed to learn. Overall there are no negatives about this school i would recommend it. read more

WARNING: DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! I asked this woman to sponsor a driving hour for me and she said yes and charged me $250 dollars... I read her the date FROM MY PAPER to schedule it I specifically remember her reading it back to me. She calls me today and very rudely tells me she drove all the way to Plymouth and I'm not there and the $250 was not not refundable!! She proceeds to fight with me and was EXTREMELY RUDE... reading the reviews now I should have know what kind of people these people are. I have a baby on the way and now she basically stole my money. I swear she did this on purpose!!! I should have read the reviews with her calling people pathetic!! These people need to be put out of business immediately!! She then proceeded to call me an idiot and threaten to tell the Plymouth rmv about me saying "I'm sure you'll pass " and also, "no wonder you don't have a license" read more

I love Sharon driving school, I was scared at first but my driving instructor really helped me and never got mad at me for messing up. I was able to ask questions and not be afraid and my driving skills became really good. I love Sharon driving school and I would really recommend for your kids or if you're trying to learn how to drive. read more

this is the worst driving school ever repeat do not send your children. They're all they do is fail your kids take their money schedule them and don't show up for the driving test. Do not do not send your children there. AT ALL !! read more

I always forget to do these until it popped up. I'd give it a 0 if I could. Receptionist is absolutely disgusting and ignorant. School is just about the money. Seen them fail 8 kids and pass one. They don't teach you what they are supposed to. It's all about the money and having them come back so they make more money. Don't do it. read more

Read reviews before enrolling yourself or your child to this abusive and ignorant business owner that threatens to withhold your driving hours and sends abusive emails to take down reviews . The owner was so rude and loud to my daughter my mother heard her from across the room ,took the phone and was also met with a barrage of insults because the owner had to explain something twice! When I called her I was met with the same yelling and cussing then hung up on. I filed a bad review on Google then the owner sent threats to my daughter to have me take them down,then canceled her license test and lied about her not doing enough hours. Law suit is comming and attorney General is involved read more

A Sharon Driving School - Bullying my daughter - Driving Schools Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

Required the services only for the actual road test. I was required to wait 1.5 hours after my scheduled time, in the cold. The staff is short, rude and incapable of effectively communicating with the students. I won't get into the semantics of "checking blind spots"... but marking "did not signal" on a 50 ft backup is outrageous and comical without any explanation from the staff. If you choose to do a road test through them be prepared to arrive to the location with half a dozen other students were also provided no information. Compared to other schools, they also did not give any attempts to restart the parallel parking nor define what was classified as a restart for the three-point turn. Best part of the experience was laughing about the empty threats made by the owner to those who leave, negative yet honest reviews on the "service" they offer. read more

Lessons on Cape Cod - I asked for a copy of the yellow card, which is proof of lessons done. Gilli promised she would send it every day for 3 days and then got aggressive after the third day saying it was Labor Day weekend. She wanted payment in cash for lessons, was on the phone the entire time talking about a restraining order, was very rude and abrupt. There are a lot of complaints about her but yet her businesses keep running. read more

Same business as the one in Sharon. Avoid at all cost. Only 2.8 star review on google as well. read more

A Sharon Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

Some of the most unprofessional rude people I've had the displeasure of meeting. I booked a road test through them and was heavily criticized for not purchasing their overpriced lessons. Asking simple questions got extreme reactions from them. They care way more about making more money than any of the students. Do you really want to pay money to people that will talk to you this way ? read more

A Sharon Driving School - This school prides themself on being rude and speaks to their students like this - Driving Schools Near Me - Sharon, Massachusetts

This place deserves 0 stars. Listened to her over the past 3 weekends as my daughter took her driving lessons online. She was nasty and rude to all of the students. This morning she told my daughter she was stupid for not knowing something. I called to speak to her about this. She was yelling and swearing at me. Told me she was going to remove my child from the class which I said was fine, refund me the money - she told me absolutely not. She should not be teaching. She clearly doesn't know how to communicate with people or work with teenagers. So unprofessional. Stay away. read more

Horrible school, new drivers beware. Owner is incredibly rude and impatient. They have no understanding of how to use their own online portal. They ensure that the process is as drawn out and difficult as possible. They tend to show up late to lessons and they don't give you the time back. Anywhere else would be better and if you see positive reviews on Google it's simply because they manipulate people into leaving them. Avoid at all costs. Here's a link of what you're dealing with: https://youtu.be/FgS4zwaEvqk read more

I dreaded every driving hour i had with this school. I was yelled at for not knowing how to start the car's ignition (i am accustomed to just pushing the button), belittled for every mistake i made, and awkwardly sat in the car as my instructor yelled at the kids in the backseat for doing nothing. One particular instructor chastised a student we picked up because his driveway was complicated-- what do you want him to do about that??? He even made fun of Jewish people as they were walking to their synagogues during my driving hour. I cant make this up! Unprofessional isn't even the word. Run. Flee from this driving school! read more

This place is horrible. The customer service is awful. The manger and coworkers and rude and completely disrespectful. Please avoid this place at all costs! They stole my money! read more

The woman who answers the phone is very rude and unprofessional. She has no customer service nor people skills. It's a total nightmare every time I call. (Keep in mind, I am a student who paid and booked for classes) I had legitimate questions regarding the classes and road test that the website didn't cover. She had an attitude for every question I had. She didn't even answer my questions directly. Every time I called, it felt like she didn't want to speak to me and tried to get me off the phone. At times, she didn't let me finish the conversation. She hangs up. She says she's in the middle of something every time. Scheduling was also a nightmare. I had paid and booked a "brush up class" and "road test" on the website 2 weeks in advance. The day before the scheduled road rest, the rude woman calls me up and threatens that if I didn't change the "brush up class" to a different day, she would not have enough time to teach me everything that is offerred with the "brush up". As a paid customer, I felt concerned if I was gonna actually end up with this person during the classes and road test. I was also angered at the fact that I was so nice and professional but didn't receive the same treatment. This is a great company that offers services, but that one person can be a downfall to the company due to her customer service. I feel bad for other students who have to go thru this. read more

Do NOT use this company. The owner is mentally disturbed, unprofessional, hostile, irresponsible. Rude does not come close to describing this woman. We waited this AM for two hours and she did not show up for a scheduled driving test, keeping three other families waiting. She threatened to put a hold on my son's permit claiming that HE had not showed up. She used an abusive epithet to describe my son. She yelled and screamed and threatened to call the police on us if he showed for the test the next day, which is when SHE says it is scheduled. This is clearly illegal. We will be taking her to small claims court for the fees that she refuses to refund due to her own error. And also looking into complaining to the RMV - which, based on other reviews, has been done before. Based on the complaints below, it's shocking that she is still in business. She should be in jail or a mental institution (no joke). DO NOT GO HERE. GO ANYWHERE ELSE BUT THIS PLACE. HORRIBLE. read more

Ok, there are many negative reviews here. This is a positive one because overall, my daughter had a very positive experience at this driving school. The instructors are excellent and they taught her how to drive and how to be safe on the road. That is the goal. The owner Gilli has gotten a bad wrap here on Yelp. She's not that bad folks. She got my daughter in for a road test very quickly during this Covid pandemic. She runs a tight ship and gets stuff done. As a physician, I wanted a school that would teach my daughter how to be safe on the road. I found that in the instruction at Sharon Driving School. If you want your child to learn how to drive safely and how to pay attention to the road and all surroundings then this is your school. Don't let scheduling challenges or personalities documented here dissuade you. I have cared for enough accident victims to know that I wanted a safe school with excellent teachers to help my child learn how to drive. My daughter's favorite instructors here are Donna, Francine, a kind man with short black hair she never got the name of, and Gilli herself. THANK YOU GILLI AND THANK YOU SHARON DRIVING SCHOOL FOR TEACHING MY PRECIOUS DAUGHTER THE RULES OF THE ROAD AND HOW TO DRIVE! I will be returning here with my next child when he is ready . read more

If I could give less than one star, I would. Gilly is one of the rudest people I have ever had to deal with as a customer. If told everyone I know not to work with her, and if she wants to keep her business running, I recommend not having so much attitude. The price is already astonishingly high, especially for it being in a rotting, disgusting, building with mediocre (at best) instructors that love to cancel driving hours right before they're scheduled to happen, and classes comprising of only video documentaries. But to have the owner be so blatantly disrespectful in every sense of the word, don't spend your hard earned money there. It is not worth the price, hassle or rudeness of these people. read more

This has been the worst experience I have ever had with a business. The customer service in the office is horrific. I was continually spoken to in a rude manner. The woman in the office has absolutely no patience when you call. She disregards what you say or questions you have. She always sounds like she is busy doing something and your call has interrupted her. I would actually try to be extra kind on the phone, so that she would not get upset with me. The last two weeks of trying to set up my son's last driving lesson and driving test, I started to communicate via email, so I wouldn't have to call. Although I could tell by her email responses she wasn't happy, at least I wasn't yelled at on the phone. There were many times my son was in one town for a lesson and the instructor was in another town. Even though I booked the lesson in Sharon. It was very annoying. Because I had already paid, I could not switch schools. I could go on and on about my horrible experience when trying to book driving lessons online or over the phone. It was beyond stressful. I do not recommend the Sharon Driving School to anyone!! Please read the rest of the reviews on this page. You will see many people have been treated very poorly. This is supposed to be a positive experience for your young driver. If you go with this school, you and your child will have a negative experience. I was so happy when my son past his test..... because I would never have to deal with the Sharon Driving School again. read more

I don't usually write reviews but i just wanted to write one and say that i personally like Sharon driving school and the booking driving hours is very easy and getting all 12 hours are very fast! I'm almost done with the program and I'm very excited to get my license through this school. I've recommended all my friends and i love Jim he's a very good driving instructor! read more

Is it customary for driving school instructors to be TEXTING while they drive the company vehicle? If so, they are doing a top notch job. I would highly recommend NOT sending your child to these instructors if they can't even follow the rules of the road themselves. read more

NEGATIVE STARS If I could give negative stars I would. I called to inquire about the conflicting prices for lessons that are listed. I was greeted with such hostility and rudeness it kind of threw me off. I said to the woman who answered the phone I just wanted to clarify why the prices were different when you go to register. She immediately caught an attitude and hung on me. I proceeded to call back to ask for the manager and the same woman answered. I asked for her name and she hung up on me a second time. I called back a third time and asked to speak with the manger and she said "There is no manager!" and hung up. I feel this should be reported to the Better business Bureau. I have never in my life been treated so horribly by a business. After reading all of the negative feedback, feel like I may have dodged a bullet. It's really sad that there are people in the world who behave in this manner. The lack of PROFESSIONALISM is not ok. read more

We had a terrible experience with Sharon Driving School and yes, just like everyone else said, the owner was unnecessarily rude and VERY hard to deal with. This school has a rule that you can only sign up for 4 driving lessons at a time (so you can't plan far ahead to get off work easily or get a "regular" schedule). When I called to ask for more options, the owner called me back and said we should take the open 2 PM appointment - when I told her my kid was still in school at 2 PM, she yelled at me. Actual yelling - I was stunned. The owner is also VERY clear that you will absolutely NOT be able to cancel/move your appointment without 24 hours notice without paying for the missed lesson - that makes sense in regular conditions but during Covid, that puts everyone (especially the driving instructors) at risk. read more

I ONLY WISH I had read the reviews before booking an appointment for my daughter to take her drivers test. I found the owner, yes the owner, to be very rude and unprofessional when I called to speak to the her about some of the language that was spoken while my daughter was taking her test. My daughter had a "practice test drive", before her drivers test, which went well. She then had her test. While she was driving the sponsor and the instructor were complaining, rather loudly to each other, how early they had to get up and how awful the weather was. The woman who was the sponsor proceeded to say, I'm glad I speak Russian so I can swear at the students and they will never know." How awful is this. How is a student supposed to feel confident taking their driving test when the instructor and sponsor act like this. Intimidating, unprofessional, and DOWN RIGHT RUDE! This driving school should be reported the the Better Business Bureau. Christine E. read more

It's the rude lady who is sooooo arrogant when she needs to schedule classes . They just want you to pay . That's it. She will yell at you if you ask her to check the availability before you commit. read more

Gilli, the director, is tough when you ask her about something. I understand that she is under work pressure but when a customer asks her about something it means that she is his reliable source for what he is seeking. Also, Russell is not patient with learners. They are beginners and they make mistakes, that's why they come to your school! I don't recommend! read more

Extortionist. Horrible owner. Do not go here. The headache is not worth it. We paid a lot of money and they refused even the most basic of documentation that the website said was included in their fee. Never mind the headache my son had to go through. Also tried to bribe us out of more money saying if you pay x amount he doesn't have to actually do the driving hours they would just say that he did. Wicked skeezy place. read more

The experience with Sharon Driving School keeps getting worse- they took our money and now are refusing servicce unless our teenager apologies to her! This business is a scam- nowhere have I ever seen someone take my money in advance and then provide service conditional to an apology from the customer. We asked for our money back, and she refused.....RMV needs to know about this business, and needs to debar them. read more

Horrible. Will lie to your face and fail you just so they can charge u to use car and take test again. Failed me twice saying I didn't do things i did. I put my arm behind passenger seat to look back and reverse during test and at the end of the test he told me I did not even tho I did, went on to lecture me tell me how dangerous it was even though I had done it. Guy had square tattooed eyebrows. read more
