I still remember what it was like to sit in this class a handful of years ago, and from the looks…read moreof the other meager reviews on this site, the experience has not changed. in fact, the single reason I am writing this review so long after the fact is because john rinko's name is the only one i consistently google every few years to check if the racist old loser has finally died yet. No luck so far. like, i said, i vividly remember so many horrible things this man said and did under the guise of "driving instruction." i was 18 years old and didnt say a word the whole class because i was so enraged. heres a small list, in no particular order: - a japanese woman walks in before the class officially starts. he stops what he's doing, points at her, and says, "let me guess! chinese?" when she, obviously stunned, politely corrects him (with a level of patience currently unparalleled in human history), he immediately starts going off on a rant about PEARL HARBOR. - there was also a pretty large woman in attendance that night. rinko loudly asked her if she wanted TWO CHAIRS. when she said no, he asked AGAIN and went off about how much of a "nice guy" he is, and how any woman is desperate for a guy like him. -this was in like january 2017 so he also went on an impromptu rant about how "the People voted trump" (the people did not vote trump. trump lost the popular vote.) the class has not even started yet, by the way. here's what he had to say about women: -he points to every man in the room (including me) (i am not a man) (well, i wasnt at the time) (anyway) he points to every man in the room, including me, and then he says "you all have one weakness when it comes to driving." and then he puts to every woman in the room (except the fat one. i was paying attention). he proceeds to spend a solid thirty-seconds mimicking an awestruck man staring out the window at, presumably, all the hotshot babes you find wandering the streets of rural upstate new york before getting into a violent crash, and then acts like this is the height of wisdom when it comes to teaching students how not to be distracted while driving -he said women had better not get into car crashes, because then they'll "never get a date again" -followed by him showing the infamous "women drivers" youtube clip -he described in graphic detail how facial injuries from windshield glass make women unattractive thirty years later, when those five hours finally came to an end, John Rinko proudly spent a good few minutes demonstrating his use of legible cursive writing when telling us how to do our signatures. He became vastly offended if anyone insinuated that he was maybe Polish instead of Russian. (I'm a quarter Polish and have to wonder just what's so wrong about that.) He took great pride in making sure that we all knew his name. So I will make sure to use it when I call John Rinko an extremely horrible man, and an even worse driving instructor. Also he sounded like patchy the pirate when he got worked up and i will keep googling his name every few years until i get to see the news article i long for

Mr Rinko bravely copiloted for my son, he stayed completely calm while I white knuckled an hour…read morelong tour of Saratoga Springs from the back seat. The man is a saint with nerves of steel.

Was not very impressed with this business. My son took driving lessons here and the gentleman that…read morewas said to have owned the company was the one who gave him driving lessons. The only problem was that he never actually ever let him take the wheel by himself and drive the car. He does charge $50 a lesson which is a good price but he needs to allow people to actually learn how to drive and actually feel with the vehicle feels like or else they're never going to understand how to drive a vehicle. My son spent $300 and really didn't know much more than when he started which to me was concerning. but what was more concerning to me was when my son was coming to me telling me that he would have to stop during the middle of his our session I'm driving so that the instructor or the owner of the company could go drop paperwork off at his place of business I believe it was. Does seem to be a reoccurring thing happening more often while he was driving on his lesson. Now if you take 5 minutes to go run something into an office and come back out to a vehicle and you do that 12 times that's an hour that you paid for and you didn't drive. That to me is being dishonest needless to say my son is no longer with this company but I felt that I needed to write this because I feel that he should learn from his mistakes and do things differently from the way he has been doing it. if he chooses not to then his customers need to know that that's the way he's doing things and they need to decide whether they want to give him their money or not. That's just my concern from a concerned father.

I had a deeply upsetting and unprofessional experience with one of the instructors at this driving…read moreschool. From the moment the lesson began, the instructor was extremely rude and aggressive in his tone. He made the experience very tense, and showed no patience or professionalism. I chose not to say anything during the session in hopes of avoiding further conflict. However, things escalated when the lesson ended. Rather than dropping me off, he began lecturing me based on a note in his system stating I had requested no further cancellations. I calmly pointed out that his issue should be with whoever left that note, not me. At that point, he said he was the "chief" and claimed to own several schools. He showed me his tablet, saying I was "booked at Busy" (whatever that means), and dismissed saying they don't care about reviews. When I said I'd be seeking a refund, he became aggressive. He began shouting, cursing at me, and then shockingly told me to get out of his car. As I was getting out, he used a homophobic slur and when I called out his behaviour, he threatened me with, "I'll bust your face." This experience was beyond unacceptable -- it was abusive. No customer should ever be treated this way, let alone threatened or subjected to slurs. I strongly advise against booking any lessons with this individual or this school until they take accountability for this type of behavior. If this man is truly in charge, it's clear the organization lacks any sense of professionalism or basic human decency. I am scared since this person has my address and details.
