Nydia is the reason I succeeded plain and simple. I already knew how to drive, but after not having my license for years, I had to take my road test again and parallel parking was the one thing I just could not get right. Nydia changed that completely. The way she teaches is on another level, clear, precise and tailored so it actually clicks. She's professional, patient and incredibly informative, but what really sets her apart is how she builds your confidence while she teaches. She doesn't just show you what to do, she makes sure you understand it and can do it on your own. Because of her, I can now parallel park perfectly every time. If you get Nydia as your instructor, you're in the best hands. read more

I took the Zoom Defensive Driving class for Insurance discount and point reduction. The instructor Dan L was wonderful. He taught well and made everything easy to understand. I am a driver of many years and yet I still learned so much more in this class. Dan is pleasant and answered all our questions. He kept the class going with his teaching skills and before you know it the 6 hours were over. I will be back in 3 years. read more

I am a driving instructor for this school , I am very lucky to work for them. I am treated with respect and I truly enjoy my students and coworkers read more

I would give zero stars if I could. I called asked about driving packages received a price quote. Called 10 minutes later to set up dates and was told there are added fees. I said I just called 10 minutes ago. Also because I live south of Montauk hwy there were additional fees because it is a further distance. When I repeated that there's an additional fee for living south of Montauk hwy? Her response was that's my boss's rule.... Be very careful of hidden fees. read more

Been around for 40 years or so. Some of the instructors are great... Other schools are not so great but it is really hard to find a company nowadays that holds it's clienteles safety as priority number one, making money is second. read more

I would recommend this driving school to anyone. Based on the experience I had with my son getting his license, they were punctual, flexible and just outright nice people. when I called on the phone the receptionist are sweet and patient. My son ended up getting his license at the first try. They were even flexible enough to pick up my son from his job on the days when his lessons were schedule close to him getting off work. I thank you guys so much for the great experience read more

This institution completely and utterly lacked any social distancing measures and respect for the health of their customers, and was extremely unsafe. Not a single employee besides one was wearing a mask, even though they had signs up that required people coming in to wear one. They had plexiglass shields up between counter but with a gap in the bottom for the employee to talk right through. Good thinking. Then, one of the instructors walked in from teaching a lesson with a student, and remarked to an employee that he was "going to get a covid test" because he "wasn't feeling well" and then proceed to go back outside and get back in the car with a student, while he himself suspected he could have covid-19. Then, another driving instructor walked in with a mask in his hand, not on his face, and proceed to walk straight by us until we stopped him. A complete lack of respect for the health of their customers was shown. Will not be coming back and will be reporting to the department of health. read more

two words.... absolutely horrible. No communication and zero professionalism. Look into other schools before entertaining their unorganized company. read more

Terrible company ... Very unorganized If you want a great instructor you may have to go through 2 or three bad ones 1st... Also the receptionist are horrible and rude. When I asked for my money back she told me you signed a contract and you wouldn't be getting your deposit back. I then said I never signed a contract, please find my contract and email it to me... She then said well your instructor dint have time to get you to sign the contract. ... She was lying and tried to get off the phone very quick as she knew she was caught in a lie. The manager then got on the phone and I explained what happened and he said my money would be refunded... These people are the worst and VERY UNORGANISED... I should also mention that on my 1st lesson the instructor told me to put the Car in DRIVE to go in REVERSE ..... read more

On saturday september 12, they planned a 5 Hours Pre Licence Course at 10 am (Huntington). The course started at 11 because they didn't have a teacher. Nobody of the school show up to open the office and to explain which was the inconvenience. Irresponsible and unprofessional. And beware about the owners of another mini mall's stores, rudes and aggressives about the parking lot. read more
