It really felt like a team effort, and we couldn't be happier with the outcome.

That instructor never came back. The next instructor hated me because he showed up 50 minutes late to my lesson and I have kids so I could no longer be gone for an hour and a half and had to cancel. The next time he came he was big mad and low key abusive lol so I never went back. I'm an adult student so this learning process has been a lot for me.... Crown was not helpful. Save your money.

The services I used included: 1) The pre-licensing course with Joe G., who truly went above and beyond - not only during the session but also by taking the time to answer my questions afterward. 2) Six hours of driving lessons with Mario and Joe D. - both brilliant, knowledgeable, and calm instructors who explained everything clearly along the way. The final hour with Joe D. right before my road test was exactly what I needed to feel focused and confident. Thank you all, I truly appreciate your support and wish you continued success!

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.
