After 15 lessons he didn't know how to parallel park the traditional way, he was taught using a back up camera, which is illegal to use on the road test, made wide turns when turning into streets, and was told to drive close to the yellow line. When he took his road test he failed miserably. After driving for 30 years I taught him myself. Fredy and his wife also rescheduled many times with no consideration for my sons time. This school is a joke please believe all the negative reviews. If you want instructors who don't pay attention to their students and are constantly on the phone go here.

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.

Driving has been my biggest challenge and I'm glad I signed up for the 6-7 lessons package. Although I'm still a new driver I feel so much more confident. Andy helped me work on problem areas such as my left/right turns, steering the wheel correctly and merging. Andy was straightforward and didn't make me feel overwhelmed. Whenever I messed up he was very patient and would make me laugh and encouraged me to try again. Practicing with Andy has made me feel less afraid to drive and parallel park!!! Yayyy My experience with Gotham driving school has been excellent. Irene was super sweet she would always call me to check in on how I was doing and took care of scheduling my lessons and road test. She was super encouraging and caring . The Pre-licensing course was super useful compare to my previous driving school it helped me with road signs and how to approach situations you might come across on the road. Thank you Andy for helping me achieve one of my goals. I would recommend if you're looking for a Driving school to look in the Gotham website and signing up for Lessons in a package as they include everything you need. They provide the car, pick you up and drive you to the test.

She sent me a text reminder the night before each appointment. I had a question about the time and I was able to talk to Nicole right away. My son had Lester as his teacher and I can't thank him enough for his help. He gave concise instructions and boosted my son's confidence on the very 1st session. He texted if he was going to be a few minutes late and he always made up for the time if he was late. I asked around and their rates are very good compared to others. Especially if you are taking your test at Yonkers, this is the place to learn!

I got the package with 5 45min lessons and road test appointment…read more The instructors were very chill. Which I greatly appreciate because it doesn't help when you have an instructor who's got a very uptight energy. I've had 3 different instructors over the course of the 5 lessons. They were all kind and calm and good at helping me understand the tips and tricks to getting parking down pat and also turns which is the only thing I needed to work on to feel confident in passing my road test. I had my road test on Thursday. We met up near the testing site before my test about an hour before. The 4 stars is due to the fact that I didn't get a mock test/review right before the road test that whole hour before my appointment. Which I needed because the person that showed up to my test I hadn't met before from the driving school. His car was a newer car, and I hadn't practiced in it before so I wasn't familiar with the feel and sensitivity of the car when driving(you know every car is different). Luckily I had a kind and understanding examiner assess me, and she was able to pick up on the fact that I was a good driver that just hadn't gotten practice in that car before. My test was super quick and I passed on the first try. I've been to one other driving school and scheduled a road test with them before (this was my first time ever driving at 17/18 almost 10 years ago in NJ). With the car rental they gave me a review before my road test which I didn't do well on because the instructor clearly wasn't very good at his job. All in all, despite that minor complaint about the road test day, I would still recommend Lucy's driving school because their staff was nice and good at teaching. Just be sure that if you're booking the road test with them that you at least get a car you've been practicing in. I'm lucky I was still able to do well enough to pass despite not having had the chance to familiarize myself with this different (newer) vehicle.

I made multiple efforts to communicate my work schedule in advance, yet I was repeatedly booked during times I had clearly stated I was unavailable; And would have to repeat myself constantly. This created ongoing conflicts that could have been avoided with more attentive and professional communication. I am willing to provide documentation of these interactions if needed, as transparency is important to me--especially for others considering this service. I decided to share my experience after noticing similar concerns from other reviewers I saw, which made me suggest this may not be an isolated issue. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this instructor to those who are looking for reliable scheduling, respectful communication, and professionalism. Seeing the response to my feedback not taking accountability or being able to take it in and wrongfully stating the situation to clear himself also raises concerns about how feedback is handled. My intention was and still is to simply help others make informed decisions. Thank you!
