I've had a few driving instructors before, but Miguel was definitely one of the best! He's a chill and straightforward guy who helped me feel more confident behind the wheel. Thanks to his guidance, I passed my road test! I highly recommend taking lessons with Miguel--you'll learn a lot from him! read more

Amazing Driving School! Great Skilled Instructors with great tips and they want you to succeed! Just Passed my road test today and it's all thanks to the dedication and hard work I was instructed to put in. Thank you and drive safe! read more

I just passed my road test on my first try, so I can say that this driving school has competent instructors. I took lessons with 4 different instructors, but I recommend Melba and scheduled at least 10 of the 16 lessons specifically with her. She taught me everything and gave me the confidence I needed for the road test. I really appreciated the feedback she gave, clear answers to my questions, and her patience. A big plus was how Melba did not display any road rage lol Honorary mentions: Tasos is a good instructor and a cool guy read more

I came here for 5 lessons a week before my test ! All I can say is this was a great school My instructor was Amazing she was patient , & very attentive I passed my test & it's all thanks to her. read more

Mercedes Driving School - Yay she passed woohoo!!!! - Driving Schools Near Me - Bayside, New York

This was my second driving school after my previous one turned out to be a total disaster. The staff at Mercedes Driving School were far more professional and helpful. I'm an older student and don't have the resources to learn or practice outside of my lessons, but my instructor Taso did a great job and went above and beyond, helping me gain confidence and learn to focus on the right things. Another good reason to choose this place is that all of the cars are identical. If you get a different instructor for a lesson or a road test, you're still sure to get a car that handles the same. You don't have to get used to something new every time. That might sound like a simple thing, but in my experience, switching between cars too much while learning can mess up your progress. After countless lessons at my previous school, I still had no hope of passing my test, but thanks to Mercedes Driving School, I passed with a better score than I even thought was possible for me. read more

I found the staff to be very professional in general but I think it really matters who your instructor is. I took classes with two different instructors and the experience was very different. My second instructor Craig was really professional. I learned a lot, I even learnt how to drive on parkways and passed my road test on the first try. I recommend him. read more

When I first called the office the lady on the phone was very helpful and informative. When I stated my interest she instructed me to go to the office to sign paperwork. My daughter and I went and the young lady in the office was also very helpful. At that time though, there were 2 guys arguing in the other office and we could hear their arguments because they were loud. I think that was a little unprofessional to have loud arguments where clients can hear. My daughter was satisfied with her instructor who gave her constructive criticism which helped her a lot (not unlike the other driving school she went prior where the instructor didn't tell her why and what she did wrong therefore she didn't know how to correct her mistakes). She passed her road test in one try thanks to her instructor! read more

Coolest, most caring teachers. They made sure I had my lessons scheduled in a way that I'd get the best balance of lessons before my test. They were mindful of my needs and always accommodating. When I felt like I needed more practice, made efforts over and over to make sure I can get lessons when I needed them. read more

The team at Mercedes' driving school are the best! I had to reschedule a few of my lessons and they were beyond helpful and understanding. The instructors helped ease my anxiety and fears during my lessons as well as the day of the road test. Thank you all so much read more

Found this driving school on google and decided to take my chance of getting a package of 10 lessons. I had the BEST instructors, shout out to Tasos and Boris for teaching me how to drive properly and being patient enough to me. Also, the ladies in the office are very accommodating, considerate and kind. First take on the road test and I PASSED . I highly recommend getting your driving lessons here. read more

I am so glad I came and enroll in this driving school. Everyone here was so supportive and accommodating during the pandemic. After 3 fails on driving test from other schools. Guess this is my lucky school because I finally pass the driving test. I am so grateful for this school. Definitely will recommend this school to others. That you are never too old or fail to many times at the exam, because with people in this school will give you all the knowledge,support and courage to help you pass the driving test. Thank you again Mercedes driving school wish you,more power and blessing. God bless read more

The staff and instructors are very professional and knowledgeable. I took the refresher course, my instructor Taso is very experienced and provided many useful advice. He helped me drive with confidence and better in dealing with various situations on the road. read more

I haven't been here in over a year because this place traumatized me and driving in general. I had a lesson with George and it was the absolute worst and it took me everything to not get out of the car mid lesson and walk home. He was rude, loud (yelled at me if I made any kind of mistake), put the radio on so I couldn't concentrate, and unnecessarily sarcastic. It was only my second driving lesson ever yet he expected me to know everything and towards the end seeing how upset I was, he still tried to convince me to buy more lessons even though I expressed my discomfort and financial issues at the time. He made my anxiety go through the roof when I was already nervous as is. I cried when I got home because of the experience and haven't had a driving lesson since or been back to this place even though I still have my driving test scheduled there. It made me reconsider taking anymore driving lessons in general it was so terrible. It took me so long to write this review because I didn't want to be mean but I think it's important I share my experience to warn other people against this guy and company. He claims he's done this for so and so years, well maybe it's time he retired if he doesn't have the consideration and patience that new people on the road need to succeed. read more

Nice school with very attentive instructors. i would recommend them. Extremely polite staff with great customer service. read more

Mercedes Driving School was a great school! My instructors George and Kosta were amazing and the staff was very accommodating. I would 100% recommend this school! The owner Harry was extremely passionate about me passing my test and only wanted the best for me. Go get your license there! read more

I bought a 10 lesson package and then passed the road test(11min) first try! I started as a nooby and then finished to become a good driver. My instructor George is incredible! He gives great observation, tips, and critique. Esspecially teaching how to parallel park and make corrections easily if needed. I thought I would struggle but I mastered it! I did the 5-hour course remotly through zoom, easy peasy. Be sure to hold onto a few lessons to schedule before your road test date (available after 5-hour course) to freshen up and cover on some weaknesses. The office does a great job as well. Making appointments over the phone is very quick and you get text message reminders a day or 2 before the lesson. read more

Best driving school in Queens. It was a great experience. Had alot of fun. Had only two lessons, one with Manny and one with Harry. First these guys showed me exactly what to do to pass the road test. I passed the road test 1st try! I knew I was going to pass because of the confidence Mercedes Driving School gave me. Excellent experience. George Dimopoulos read more

I started taking lessons from this school last year with George, who is a pretty good instructor. Personally, I did not respond that well to his way of teaching. I often felt awkward in the car, and even though it was near the height of COVID-19, he spoke negatively of wearing masks (whilst I was wearing one - he wore a cloth covering). Still, his instructions were simple and easy to follow, so I didn't say anything. Unfortunately, I didn't schedule a road test and ended up taking a gap year before resuming my lessons a couple of months ago. With George's instructions, I was able to get the basics of driving and it was definitely a good instructor to start with. The car I used with George was a bit more difficult to drive, I'm guessing it was on the older side - nonetheless, it still worked. When I resumed my classes this year, I asked for a different instructor to see if I would progress differently (which I did!) This time my instructor was Tasos, and turns out his daughter and I were in the same graduating class at Cardozo! Even though I had already taken several lessons, it felt like I was starting all over again, and when we first met, I just asked him if we could go through everything again. He was very patient and encouraging and my first lesson with him was great. I decided to follow through with him as my instructor. I scheduled another five lessons before scheduling my road test. All the lessons went smoothly and often times we would joke in the car about how there's almost no one on the road who respects student drivers. It was a very comfortable environment and when the time came for my road test, I passed first try! read more

Kostas and George were amazing instructors! I took the 10 class course plus 5 hour class and they were wonderful! George made me feel very comfortable and helped me a lot with my fright about driving around other cars, helped me learn how to do a 3 point turn and also the necessary tips in order to park. my last two classes were with Kostas and he definitely gave me all the tips in order to pass and I did!! on my very first try and let me tell you i was extremely nervous!!! Thank You so much guys for all your help!! read more

Mercedes driving school is great, everyone in the office is very helpful and they have times later in the day to do the practice lessons. They also work around your schedule. I was able to take the five hr class on zoom which is great. I got 10 lessons and had two different instructor which taught me good tips which i used from both and I passed my test! Both instructors were very patient and taught me constructive criticism which was very helpful and i passed on my first try. read more

Mercedes driving school is amazing,Quick story time I did 20 lessons my first set of 10 lessons was with three instructors all of whom which was great but for me being a new driver who had NEVER drove before and three people teaching me three different ways to drive I failed my test,So I signed up for 10 more lessons with ONE instructor DON,He was very patient with me didn't make me nervous and taught me how to drive and I passed my test.If you choose Mercedes Driving School get Don as your instructor and get him for all your lessons you will pass your test... read more

My instructor, Kostas, was a great instructor and thus I passed my road test! On the day of the road test, I was told to arrive an hour early. I was sitting around for 25 minutes until the owner, Harry, came. First immediate red flag was that he walked in without a mask then proceeded to not even wear a mask inside the car! Practicing COVID safety guidelines, am I right? While we were on the way to the exam site, he was raising his voice at me telling me to change lanes even though I had never done it; since I only had lessons around the neighborhood on two-way streets, where I never had to change lanes. I already had anxiety before the road test and him raising his voice definitely did not help lol. I would still recommend this driving school, the employees were nice but, I wasn't in a safe environment with Harry :,) read more

George, is an amazing instructor. He is so absolutely Thorough and really put his soul into teaching you. All of my lessons except one (my first) were with him, I had him my with a second lesson of mine a requested him with five of my remaining. He teaches your things that you won't forget! I had taken 4 lessons with him and then returned to school so I put my road test On hold, OVER A YEAR LATER I had taken two final lessons (remembered everything he told me) and passed my road test my first time. I could not recommend George of Mercedes Driving School enough! read more

I took the road test with them twice. The first time I took some lessons with George, he was a good instructor and will make sure you're paying attention (he'll ask you to turn onto one way streets to see if you're awake), but his car is really sensitive and not the easiest car to drive. After I failed my first road test I took lessons again with Adrian, she was great and her car was much easier to drive. Her style of teaching was a bit different than George and I liked it a bit better, but I can't really describe why. I think I felt a bit calmer when driving with her. If you want to take lessons with them and buy a package, I recommend using your first 2 or 3 lessons on different instructors just so you can get a feel of what their cars are like and what their teaching style is like. You don't want to blow your whole package on an instructor (or car) that you aren't too crazy about. Also make sure to schedule your road test with your instructor (or that you know who you're taking it with), the school can give you a different instructor/car and not tell you as long as they still have you taking it with someone. read more

Well worth the money, George was my sons instructor he was on time each time and my son said very polite. He took his test and passed the first time . Highly recommended. read more

I just passed my road test today after taking it for the first time. I had a 10 class package with Mike and felt very comfortable driving at the end of the course. He is a very patient instructor. If you make a mistake he calmly explains how to correct it. I really appreciated his approach since I was nervous to drive. Road test was a breeze thanks to everyone at Mercedes! Harry drove me to the site and prepped me before the test (I was nervous lol) and gave me lots of great tips! Thank you again! read more

My experience here has been splendid! The instructors are great and everyone is very accommodating. From my experience, you really feel like you're given individual attention. read more

The owner is very nice setting up road tests and/or lessons. I came here for the 5hour certificate course, it was very simple and straightforward. I took one lesson and then my road test and I passed! He told me basically all the tips I needed to pass, an easier way to park, and assured me not to be nervous. Thank you! read more

This place is very welcoming and helped me passed the test within the first few of lessons. Would DEFINITELY recommend to a friend, or family. read more

Great way to learn how to drive. Passed my test with no second time.

I have only positive things to say about Mercedes Driving School. The instructor Mr. George was very friendly, understanding and willing to answer all my questions. I am not joking when I say that I could not wait for the time of my driving lessons. It's not only that I was driving for the first time of my life but also the fact that I was felling 100% safe through the entire procedure! Mr. George is a great instructor and made the learning process seem veeeeery easy!!! Totally recommend those guys! Thank you! read more

As an international student I was scouring the city to find a reputable driving school to assist me in acquiring my DL. I happened to stumble upon MDS and decided to give them a call.

To make things short, I visited them and before I knew it, I had my driving license in my hands. Those guys do what they say they do and do not give you a hard time. read more

I come from a small suburban town, so when I decided that I wanted to start driving in the city, I thought I should take a refreshers course to better prepare myself for the higher stress driving environment.

I learned a variety of new driving techniques and I saw a significant marked improved in my driving and city driving confidence by the end of the lessons. Thanks MDS! read more
