When my daughter told me that her friends wanted to sign up with a group discount, I did a quick…read moresearch on Yelp and didn't see anything concerning so I thought, "how much different could another driving school be???" Let's start off that this school was originally named RANDOLPH Driving School which had more telling reviews... The classroom time is the classroom time. There are certain things they need to cover so I would consider it to be adequate. For the parent class I learned somethings that I may have forgotten and "interesting" ways to avoid insurance hikes. The issue really starts with the availability of driving times. There is one owner who is also the only instructor and driving times are only available 10am and 12pm Monday through Saturday. So if you have a high school age student you options are limited and it took us over 6 months to have 6 road classes. Then our first session had some angst because of the owner's tardiness policy. While the instructor did arrive 15 minutes before the scheduled time, he also left 7 minutes before the scheduled time and didn't bother to pick up my daughter when she immediately called him. So that's probably a good reason for the instructor to be consistently late for every schedule road class we scheduled there after. The icing on the cake was when we finally finished the road classes and we needed to pay for the certificate release to the DMV which was an additional charge of $15. We asked who to make the check payable to and he said it was "cash only". So we requested to have a receipt which his response was he only does that at the office which we would have to wait 2 weeks for. When I showed up for the receipt, he showed me an error screen on his computer that the receipt can't be printed. I asked for a hand written receipt and he decided to print off the completion of the course which only showed the cost of the course but not the cost for the certificate release. When I asked him to hand write on the printout for the $15 he adamantly refused and said he "doesn't give receipts." So I found the sign on the front of his desk mildly amusing. So after 9 months, the only reason I could find to rate this school more than 1 star was I learned it's better for me to take a head on collision when someone is driving on the wrong side of the road to avoid insurance rate hikes...

Despite Massachusetts General Law, Chapter 90, Section 10 clearly stating that foreign license holders can legally drive in the state for up to one year with a proper translation, the school rejected my application citing Appendix C from the RMV -- which only applies to license conversion, not to the legality of driving as a recent arrival. I have been in the U.S. for just 4 months, well within the 6-month window confirmed by the RMV for driving on a foreign license. I explained this to the school, but they were unwilling to acknowledge the legal difference. I found their approach dismissive and poorly informed of state law. It's unfortunate to see a driving school show such limited understanding of the legal framework they operate within. I do not recommend them to international drivers, especially those who meet all legal requirements but are treated as if they don't.

I was initially nervous when I saw that multiple instructors would be working with me. After I emailed them with my worry, they called very quickly to explain the benefit of learning from different instructors, something that ultimately helped me feel prepared for the road test since you never know which examiner you'll get. Every instructor I drove with was patient, professional, and clearly invested in both my safety and my success. As an adult learning to drive in this city, I can't recommend this school highly enough.

Inconsistent, Unprofessional, and Ultimately a Waste of Time & Money…read more I am writing this review on behalf of my father, a retired military Veteran from India, who just completed 7 lessons with Brookline Driving School. Unfortunately, his experience was overwhelmingly disappointing and I would strongly advise you to look elsewhere. Our primary issue was the complete lack of consistency between instructors. He had at least three different teachers, primarily switching between Ervin and Vitaly. While Ervin was patient and seemed to genuinely enjoy teaching, the same cannot be said for his counterpart. Vitaly was, frankly, obnoxious. He lacked basic respect for his students, was often loud and visibly frustrated, creating an environment where my father felt intimidated and unable to ask questions. If you don't have the patience for this job, why are you in it? To make matters worse, he made uncalled-for and stereotypical "jokes" about Indians being bad drivers, which was completely unprofessional and offensive. The biggest practical problem arose from this inconsistency. Ervin and Vitaly taught completely different techniques for parallel parking. One would say to do it one way, and the next lesson, the other would contradict it. This constant change in instruction confused my father daily and shattered his confidence. The culmination of this failure was on his road test. He failed specifically because of the parallel parking maneuver. The conflicting advice from his own instructors left him unsure of the correct method, leading to a critical error. I hold Brookline Driving School 100% responsible for this. We are cutting our losses and heeding our neighbors' recommendation to try Waltham Driving School instead. Save your time, your money, and your sanity--go somewhere else. This school is unorganized and employs instructors who are not aligned, with at least one who lacks the basic demeanor required to teach.
