I decided to book another class with him because my road test is in some days. I would recommend Golden Crown, the booking was easy and the classes are at a reasonable price.

The school itself seems good since my siblings used Golden Crown and had instructors who actually…read moretaught them everything, but AVOID PETER AT ALL COSTS. He was a complete waste of money. I first had him last summer. He never remembered how many lessons I paid for and constantly had to ask me. Instead of teaching me required test skills like 3-point turns and parallel parking during the first 5 lessons I bought, he just had me driving around the neighborhood like an idiot. He only took me on the main street on the last day of the package and never went over parallel parking/3 point turns. When confronted about not giving me enough practice/instruction, he claimed I "wasn't ready" for that stuff--which is his job to teach! And even if I "wasn't ready" like he said I was, you are still supposed to teach everything, including 3-point turns and parallel parking. Because of this, we were forced to waste more money on a second package this summer. Even then, I had to physically demand that he teach me parallel parking and 3-point turns, or he wouldn't have done it at all. He INSISTED that I genuinely was too low in skill to start learning 3-point turns, parallel parking, and going on busy roads, and when I told him that my siblings still got taught all this stuff regardless of their "level", he had the nerve to try to say that maybe they were more ready/prepared for that than me (they most definitely weren't). He was somewhat hard to understand due to a noticeable accent and constantly lied about basic maneuvers being "automatic failures" when they weren't. I failed my first test because of his terrible preparation. I ended up practicing entirely on my own after the lessons package was over and passed my second test at Orangeburg with flying colors with zero help from him about 2 weeks ago, proving that I'm not the issue. Apparently I was SO bad I wasn't ready for further instruction, but now I'm a licensed driver in the SAME SUMMER. Wonder how that works... The school has some pretty good instructors, so request someone else and stay far away from Peter.

After several lessons with another driving school, my daughter was still extremely anxious behind…read morethe wheel. She was scared to accelerate and hadn't even learned basic skills like parking or making a U-turn. Then she started working with Ned, and everything changed. He did an excellent job of safely pushing her out of her comfort zone while making her feel secure. He challenged her in the right ways, gave constant feedback, and clearly explained what she needed to improve. Instead of letting her avoid what scared her, he helped her face it and build real confidence. Thanks to Ned, Amelia went from being a very nervous driver with no skills or understanding of what's required, to passing her road test after just about 8 lessons. If you're looking for an instructor who truly knows how to build confidence while teaching safe driving, I highly recommend Ned at Formula.

Just passed my road test two days ago in first attempt. I had tried another driving school and quit…read moreafter one class because the instructor was unprofessional, rude and condescending. I then looked up online and found Adrian Dricing School. I thought it was expensive at first but then when it's about driving on the roads, there are people's lives including yours that are at stake. So the money was worth it. Michael from Adrian Driving school was my instructor. One of the nicest people I've ever seen! Polite, patient and very kind. He gave me so much confidence! He taught me how to perfectly parallel park and i nailed it during my driving test! Pararell parking is now my strongest skill--thanks to Michael!! I had driven in another country for two years, but that was 5 years ago. And also i was used to the right hand driving i.e. driving on the left side of the road. On the day of road test i was a little nervous but Michael kept encouraging me. I passed the road test and was ecstatic! I do think though that Michael could do even better by being a little more specific in terms of step by step guidance e.g. he didn't tell me to look over my left shoulder before pulling out when starting the road test and i got points for that. That mistake could have easily been avoided. Another thing was that he didn't tell me to straighten my wheels after i parallel park so even though my parallel parking was perfect the examiner told me that i needed to straighten my wheels. Overall all what matters is that i passed in the first attempt!! Im very happy and all thanks to Michael for being an amazing amazing instructor.

After a week I received a call back saying the rep got a spot for me in 4 weeks. Great! The service included 1 driving hour with the nicest instructor (italian man with tattoos on his arms, I forget the name now), who was not only extremely helpful, put-together, and fun, but he also quickly taught me what I needed to know to pass. I had been driving for 8 years prior to the test, which led to many so called 'bad habits'. He picked me up before and dropped me off at the train station after the test. Very happy with my experience, highly recommended.

Recently-ish did a road test facilitated by NYAS, interacted primarily with Wendy (who runs…read moreoperations of the company) and Joe (who was my driving instructor). I called in very short notice to see if they had something, and to my great delight it turned out that they actually did. It took a little back and forth, but in the end, after about one day, they successfully managed to pen me in for a road test, over in white plains. The big problem with these guys came with payment. I went on the website to pay for my package: a one hour lesson and a road test, which cost $150. However, immediately after I paid at the portal on their website, I was redirected to another page which said something like, "thanks for your $500 payment". Indeed, they 'accidentally' charged me an extra $350. Wendy was really good with apologizing and reversing the charges, but noted me that I could wind up waiting something like, 5 business days for the charges to be reserved? It worked out in the end, but if I had been the kind of person who had a very low credit limit, something like this would have seriously fucked me in the ass. I hope they fix this very serious problem. The car Joe operates I think was a white Honda (civic? accord?) it handles pretty well, though the gas pedal is a little bit sensitive. He did a good job of predicting what would come up on my road test, and was familiar with the test site. He wasn't too hands on, which I appreciated. I ended up passing the road test, so overall things went smoothly.

There were several red flags, but the biggest one for me was that I gave 24-hours notice to cancel a driving lesson due to a death in the family. the company did not check their messages or emails and did not inform the driving instructor so the poor instructor showed up. Not only are they refusing to reschedule the lesson or refund, but I was called and messaged (and sent pictures of my house?) multiple times while at a funeral mass. If that isn't the opposite of customer service, I'm not sure what is. That was the nail in the coffin for me.
