Flavors driving school is the place to go , especially if you have had unprofessional driving lessons before. Anisha is an amazing, patient and understanding instructor, thanks for always correcting my mistakes, especially when I keep forgetting the simplest rules. For someone who hasn't had any driving experience she gave me confident. Michelle thanks for always trying to work with me on scheduling especially with doing only one lesson per week. Flavors helped me to accomplished this goal and is the the place to go if you want to pass your road test. Thank you Flavors. Neelo Singh read more

Very Disappointing Experience, $300 Paid for Classes I Never Received! I'm sharing my experience so other customers can make an informed decision before doing business with this driving school. I paid $300 for a package of three driving classes, and I have the receipt and documentation showing that I paid for these services. The problem is that the school is now refusing to honor the package, claiming that I waited too long to use the classes. My receipt does not state that there is an expiration date or waiting period for using the classes. If there was a specific deadline or expiration policy, that should have been clearly disclosed at the time I made the purchase. THERE WAS NO SIGNED DOCUMENTATION THAT STATED THAT THEIR COURSES EXPIRE. As a paying customer, I fulfilled my end of the transaction by paying the $300. I am simply asking the business to fulfill theirs by providing the three classes I paid for. The way this situation has been handled has been extremely frustrating and has left me questioning the credibility and professionalism of the business. At this point, it feels like they are acting as though they are no longer interested in honoring obligations to customers, despite having accepted payment for services. I have kept my receipt and proof of payment, so this is not a matter of misunderstanding whether I purchased the package. I did. I'm posting this to make other consumers aware of my experience. Before paying for driving lessons or packages, make sure you get the terms in writing, including any expiration dates or restrictions, and keep every receipt and record of payment. I paid for three classes. I expect the three classes I paid for to be honored. read more

I start taking lessons with them and finish my 13 classes. After finish my classes I had to wait 4 months for road test. When the driving School text me my date I requested them for practice before I take my road test they did not prove me the another lesson that lead me Fail. Waiting for for 4 months for road test I almost forget everything. I also remember when I was taking the road test I didn't learn anything from them even how to turn on the car they never showed to me. Bunch of young people are in this organizations they are not professional sometimes they use cellular phone while they are training you. Today I'm so sad being failed my road test. Definitely I will not recommend anybody for training in this organization. read more

I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the service provided by your company regarding my son's scheduled driving lesson and the handling of his pickup. Prior to the lesson, my son communicated with your receptionist to arrange pickup. However, on the day of the lesson, he was unexpectedly informed that your company has a policy of only providing pickup service to individuals who live within ten minutes of your office. This policy was never disclosed to us at any point during the scheduling process. For clarity, we reside approximately fifteen minutes from your location. Had this policy been communicated in advance, we would have made alternative arrangements or chosen a different provider. Additionally, no one took the time to verify my son's learner's permit or confirm our address in relation to your service area before finalizing the lesson. Following this issue, I requested a refund. I was then informed that your refund policy only allows reimbursement via Zelle up to ten business days after the original deposit. Again, this policy was not clearly explained to us prior to payment. Furthermore, I am disappointed by the lack of responsiveness from management. Despite attempts to resolve this matter, no one has made an effort to return calls or address these concerns in a timely or professional manner. This situation reflects a lack of transparency, poor communication, and unsatisfactory customer service. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I am prepared to pursue it through small claims court. read more

I'm finally writing this a year later, but I strongly recommend avoiding this driving school. I purchased a full package and it ended up being the worst investment. This was my first time ever taking driving lessons and getting behind the wheel, and my instructor, Kimberly, provided almost no actual instruction. She never even taught me how to turn the car on -- it was always already turned on when I got in. She didn't explain the rules of the road test, never emphasized the importance of checking blind spots, and spent most of the time yelling at me instead of actually teaching. On top of that, she was extremely unprofessional. She often had an attitude, acted like I wasn't a paying client, and multiple times spent part of my lesson arguing on the phone with her boyfriend while I was in the car. She was always late too. She also would call her son a lot during my lessons! To make things worse, my "45-minute lesson" was rarely 45 minutes. She insisted on driving herself to Howard Beach and back instead of letting me drive, which cut more than 20 minutes out of every session. So not only was the instruction terrible, but I didn't even get the practice time I paid for. The manager (Anisha) was KIND and my first lesson with her went well, but that doesn't excuse the poor hiring decisions or lack of oversight. If this is someone's first time ever taking lessons, the instructor should be patient, professional, and actually teaching -- not yelling, cutting lesson time, or handling personal drama on the phone. Because of how bad my experience was, I've warned multiple people away from this school. Professionalism and honesty bring in business -- not scams, not shortcuts, and not instructors who don't know how to teach. I reached out to the school about my concerns, and they claimed it was the first time they'd ever heard a complaint about Kimberly. But if you scroll down, there's literally another review from a year ago saying the same thing. So clearly, that wasn't the truth. The manager now says I'm a fake customer, but I've added screenshots and can add more. I'm writing this now because I did not want them to retaliate, as I was trying to get my license. I initially believed the treatment I received was normal (my first ever time getting into a car as a driver, etc, so obviously I didn't know any better), but after working with other driving schools, it became clear that what I experienced with Flavors was a scam. My 45-minute lessons were never shortened elsewhere. I was young and a novice when I turned to your school for help. I realized a year later that NO OTHER SCHOOLS scam like Flavors does. read more

I had an extremely frustrating experience with this driving school. When I first booked my classes, I was promised that they would schedule my road test for me--but that never happened. I completed all my lessons as requested, only to find out they hadn't booked the road test at all. After a month of waiting, I insisted on booking it myself, and that's when they told me they don't have cars available on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Wednesdays, only Thursdays and Fridays. I asked for a Thursday appointment, but they booked me for Friday instead. I hadn't driven in over a month, so I requested a few refresher lessons before the test, offering to pay extra if needed. They didn't respond for an entire week. When I followed up, they told me they were fully booked. I had no choice but to go to the test with no practice, and when we arrived at their office, there were three other students waiting. We waited for 30 minutes, and when I asked if we were going to be late, they assured me we wouldn't be. But we ended up arriving late to the testing site, and all the DMV instructors were visibly upset. I overheard them talking about how this driving school is always late and never respects anyone's time. Honestly, I regret choosing this school. It's a waste of money and energy. I would strongly advise against going here. read more

I want to thank the staff in helping me get my drivers license. Anisha is very helpful and their bundle price is the best way to go. Two0thumbs up! read more

I went to this driving school 2 years ago and never wrote a review because I was over it. I paid for 10 lessons, only received 9 and originally was only going to receive 8 until I corrected someone that worked there. Driving instructor wasn't bad but he was young and felt he didn't have the experience of being a driving instructor when he recently started driving himself. I failed my test, not blaming anyone there, maybe I needed more practice. I started at a different school and the difference is crazy. I finally feel like I know how to drive thanks to my instructor. I wouldn't recommend this place if you have no experience of driving. read more

The best driving school I've taken my lessons with. Carlos was my instructor and he was great. Told me everything I needed to know preparing me for my road test. He was very patient and informative. I definitely recommend using Flavor's. Pass my road test on the first try!!! read more

Former flavors student but now a official flavors graduate ( lol ) Upon signing up and booking my classes I've never drove before and I made sure the receptionist was well aware of that and she assured me that I would be fine . Fast forward to my first class out of 10 with Chris when he asked me to switch over and take the wheel I had a full on anxiety attack refusing to sit in the drivers seat . He calmed me down and from then on out I was driving like I knew what I was doing . Every session I got better and better and I felt like the school was more than just a school because of the instructors like Chris and the wonderful receptionist like Bibi and Serida . I passed my test my very first time and it was wonderful all thanks to Flavors ( Chris , Bibi and Serida ) . read more

Never anyone available to answer your questions/concerns whether you are calling over the phone or in person. The receptionist is always changing and never knows anything. The reply is always, " I need to speak to my manager" which leads to no call back...ever. There is no communication about policy or status of your account because the person at the front desk doesn't know anything and won't check your file to see if anything has expired or not. You continue with your own busy life and they do not get back in touch with you and then your account is expired when you finally do speak to a manager after having a meltdown. The customer service is severely lacking and the person in charge of answering questions gets testy and you have to remain calm. The only good service is at the beginning when you have to pay them. If that isn't bad enough... the person learning to drive will be with 3-4 different instructors who vary in what they teach. You're not sure what you should be doing because each instructor instructs differently advising different things you should and shouldn't be doing. Unbelievable .... I gave one star because I wasn't allowed to post with no stars. The good ratings lol are probably from family and friends. What a joke. read more

My daughter is currently taking lessons at this school. She is happy with the instruction she is receiving. She says her instructors are friendly and patient. The only problem we have are the last minute changes the school often makes to her time slot. Every lesson so far she has received a last minute text (same morning or night before) changing her lesson time by up to 1.5 hours before or after originally scheduled time. This is becoming a problem because we have to drop her off at the school and often have to rearrange our personal lives to accommodate these last minute changes. Just to give you some perspective, she has completed eight lessons now and all were changed last minute. I hope the last two will not be an issue. So, given the circumstances, I cannot in good faith recommend this school to any family or friends. If the school does better in this aspect, maybe I will. read more

My experience with this school has been awful. The first lesson I had was scheduled for 2:30 and they left me waiting about an hour. The second strike was when I scheduled a appointment for 11:00am a week in advance (the day before my road test). She sent me a text confirming and I confirmed thinking it was for 11:00am which is what we agreed to a week ago. I arrived at the school at 10:55am and she said I will have 15 minutes remaining or I can reschedule meaning she scheduled me for 10:30 when I was very specific on 11:00. (My road test is the next day) she said I can reschedule for 8:30am tomorrow but I have to pay a rescheduling fee. So I left without driving that day and my road test is the next day. Overall the driving instructor are great but the receptionist is awful I would recommend termination for her. read more

My experience at Flavors driving school is nothing but exceptional, everyone at Flavors are very professional. I have a busy work schedule but a driving school that opens 7 days 8am to 7pm, how can I not find a schedule that works for me. I would like to thank everyone at Flavors especially Petra and Indra for their patience and kindness. What I admire the most is that Flavors Driving School is run by a female dominated workforce, power to all of you!! read more

The care and patience I received at this school is the reason I passed my road test!! Instructors and patient and so kind and really make you feel comfortable. When I started I made very basic mistakes such as forgetting my signal and wide turns but they walked me through everything and explained everything clearly until I understand and mastered it. I have a very busy schedule so front desk knew my name when I called and was always so kind and happy to answer and questions I had, or reschedule when I needed to. Thank you Flavors!! From my 5-hour course to my license you guys rooted for me and I couldn't be happier with the support I received. Thank you !! read more

Flavors Driving School - Passed !! - Driving Schools Near Me - Queens, New York

I had keren for 10 classes and she was very smooth and sweet!! If you are looking for those two things and great lessons ask for KEREN !

This was the worst experience I probably had! Highly unprofessional rude people! Receptionist (Michelle) had no manners or people skills. She scheduled my classes when instructor is not available and has a road test. 5 mins in my pick up time I reach out and she goes well the instructor canceled. There was no notice. Nothing! When I asked how am I gonna reschedule the class I have no time left before the driving test. Am I gonna lose a class she said "yeah" with such a rude attitude. They canceled on me 4 times out of 5. I asked to speak to management cause it was getting tedious and there was no contact. Receptionist asked me to contact on her number which I was not going to do I wanted to speak to someone else directly. When I expressed all these events to the instructor she said "well she's Guyanese" you can imagine unprofessionalism at that place. At my DRIVING TIME I asked instructor if I can get off 3 mins away. They said yes. Receptionist calls me and starts trash talking why I took an "Uber ride" I said it was 3 mins away, at my driving time that your instructor agreed to. If u have problem with that fire your employee why are you harassing me for!? They have no sense of scheduling. They canceled on me every time. Even rescheduled class without any notice. I have a tight schedule I go to school and work. When I complained, receptionist goes I should make a schedule that suits me. I did make one. They canceled and reschedule all the time. Even cancel reschedule classes that I had to switch schedules with some one at work. I'm attaching the very last text. I understand an emergency happening once or twice but this was insanity. And if they are canceling on my tight schedule like this they should be able to compensate. I reschedule Almost every class and even they get canceled. And then they have a nerve to talk rude. I simply had to dispute with my bank and I'll go to another school. The management sucks. Horrible horrible management. read more

One of my alumni recommended me to this school and within seven lessons I was already ready to take the test. The instructors and administrative staff here are a joy to work with and they made my driving experience that much more memorable. They take their time in showing you exactly what you need to know for the test and do not give up on you, even when you have your bad days. I will recommend anyone to come here near and far to get this experience. It's not just about driving well but being confident in your skill. read more

I had a great experience with the instructors. I passed on my first test. They give tips on how to remember how to always parallel park correctly. Dean makes the 5 hour course go by really fast because he's really funny and makes it fun. Overall everyone in Flavors Driving School is great and will try their best to make sure you pass your road test. read more

i took the 10 class package course and it was well worth it (as a new driver) because i passed on my first try! prices are reasonable and the staff there are very nice and responsive. only issue was the scheduled times for my classes did not match the times i discussed with the staff over the phone when making my schedule. special thanks to instructor edwin. other than that, thank you flavors driving school! read more

I love this driving school. Karen is so nice and awesome i really recommend this driving school they tell you exactly how to do everything you need help with and are so nice.

Flavors has a welcoming environment with patient instructors who will prepare you well for the road test. They were flexible with my schedule as well and take covid precautions seriously. Overall a good experience and I'm happy with my decision to have taken classes here. read more

The driver instructors including the owner does not focus on the student rather on thie phones. Instead to set you up to pass they will set you up to fail. The instructors do not have a well lesson plan and expects you to practice lessons outside their lesson time. What if one does not have a car and the first in the circle to get a driver license. They are very unprofessional and a waste of your time. I do not reccommend Flavors Driving School. read more

I was taking driving classes in 2019 and am going to start again soon. The two instructors are very kind and understanding. The owner is amazing and so supportive. The receptionist is helpful. Overall this is a great driving school. I would recommend coming here to learn how to drive. read more

Absolutely the best!! This was the 3rd school and my last...I passed my road test thanks to Keren and her patience, confidence and encouragement! Staff is super friendly and accommodating. read more

The rudest place you can find. The receptionist was disrespectful and had no accurate information to give out. I called multiple times and wasn't able to get any assistance through her. Then when I went in person, she completely dismissed me. Definitely would not recommend. read more

The only reasoning I'm giving one star is because you can't give zero!! She's super unprofessional, disrespectful and maybe even a little crazy?? I paid a lot of money for her to just fuck me over and say I'm just assed our of my money and lessons because she wasn't going to pick me up! I then had to argue with her for over an hour till she agreed to give me my well deserved refund! After she agreed to refund me my money She wanted me to meet her in a parking lot of a grocery store?? I told her no, this isn't a drug deal and I went to Flavors for the refund. She's rude, unprofessional and all the positive reviews she has she's written them herself! Do NOT come here, unless you want to waste your money! I decided to go to flavor because of her prices but I'll gladly pay more money if it means not having to deal with rude and unprofessional people read more

Highly recommend. You will learn a lot in this class. Instructor is super cool. Karen will make you comfortable when you are driving. Also Dean is awesome too. He made the 5 hour driving class fun. Overall I had a good experience with Flavors Driving School. Don't listen to all the haters on here it's all BS. read more

The instructors were good. They have techniques that will work for your road test. The only annoyance I had was with the scheduling. They needed better organization when it came to appointments. read more

This is by far the best school I have attended. I haven't found other schools really helpful but this place is amazing. I have a bit of anxiety when it comes to driving and they have been very understanding of that. The staff is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful, from the lady at the front desk (she is a sweetheart) to the instructors and owner. I will definitely recommend them in the future.. read more

I got the 10 lesson package, and Flavors really helped me practice my driving skills needed to do great on the road test, which I passed with minimal points deducted! They really helped me with parallel parking, which was hard at first but the driving instructors helped me master! Thank you flavors! read more

Everyone at this school is great. The receptionist is very nice and every one of the instructors is friendly, knowledgeable, and dedicated to making sure you pass your test. I took seven courses in total and every class the instructor would make sure I knew exactly what I needed to work on and made sure I perfected it and by the end I felt completely comfortable in the car and passed my exam first try. Highly recommend this school. read more

Do not come here ! Don't be deceived by their " good" reviews!! It's all fake !! Go check their yelp reviews!! !!! !! I came here just because of their" deceiving good reviews "but what I experienced here made me think that this all these reviews were all made up by them!!! First I " stupidity "paid in advance $270 for 5 hrs lessons and the 5 hour class . Let me tell you that the 5 hours class only lasted about one hour and then we got to leave . Then I said ok Let me go head and register for the indiviadual classes and let me tell you these two receptionists are clueless and know nothing about customer service . They are just sitting there doing absolutely nothing. I asked one of them to register me for the classes and they were like oh we don't have anything until the middle of march( take in consideration that I told these two clueless receptionists that my permit will expire in the middle of april and I needed to take classes as soon as possible before my permit expires) !!!!! And I was like why ??? Why I wasn't informed of that before I paid!!!!!!!! They again looked clueless and said nothing . After they take your money they won't care whether you pass the test or not!!! They are just scammers and I called them to refund the money the lady name Remona told me that she has to charge me $30 for registertaion fee from my own money!!!!! Are you serious. They try hard to get you in more classes to get your !!! Sry away from these scammers all their reviews are fake !!! Don't believe it read more

I just started my lessons at Flavors driving school about a week and a half ago. I have been putting off getting my license for many years now.... so this was a big step for me. I paid for the package that included the 5 hour class, 5 personal lessons, and whatever else was needed for the day of my driving test. I have now taken two personal lessons with Karen the owner.....who is a sweetheart. I was a little nervous to drive with someone new in the car but right off the bat, we were having normal conversation, which helped me calm down a little. Also, I took the 5 hour class this past weekend with Dean. I was dreading the 5 hours that I needed to get the certificate for the driving test but Dean really went over the do's and dont's of the driving test. Dean was also very funny which made the time go by quick. I have a couple more lessons with Karen coming up and I would 100% recommend her driving school to whoever needs to get their license. She really knows how to teach and to make sure you perfect your driving skills before taking that test. read more

School was great only needed 5 classes from them and I passed my test first try, never even really drove prior to the lessons. The driving instructors are very supportive and they don't make you feel like just another paycheck. read more
