    Passed my road test
    Jaitaysia W.

    I promised to share my experience with Vaswani's Driving Academy AFTER I received my Driver's license. Proud to say as of January 31st, I am officially a licensed driver . If there's one thing I can tell you about Vaswani, it's the fact that he is 100% professional, patient, diligent, and extremely Knowledge about driving. It's clear that Mr. Vaswani has extensive experience in driving and has mastered the technique to prepare beginners for licensure. I came across this driving academy through a coworker of mine, who had recently obtained her license through Mr. Vaswani's driving academy. Since our jobs require utilization of company vehicles, I had no choice but to take some lessons and work toward my license. It took me about 7 or 8 30-45 minute lessons to become comfortable behind the wheel, (again) and to mentally prepare myself for the road test. Vaswani assured me that I was ready for the actual road test, and that was all I needed to hear. The day of the road test, Mother Nature thought it would be a grand idea to snow. . I thought, "isn't this just great?" I sent Vaswani a text to ask if the road test was still on, he said it was, so I got my life together real quick, and got ready for the big day! Upon my arrival, there were 2 other female students there as well who was also scheduled to take their road test. All three of us were shocked to know we would be going together. When we got in the car, Vaswani turned around and said to us "three licenses today!" We all said yes, and began heading uptown to the test site. Before the actual test, one of the students and myself took turns practicing. We parked, made turns, did a few 3-point turns, parked a few more times and then before we realized, it was time. One of the students went first, then I was second, the other went last. Needless to say, WE ALL PASSED, on the same day! Need I say more?! If you're looking for a driving school that's going to actually PREPARE you and give you the confidence you'll need to ace the road test... I recommend Mr. Vaswani's driving academy. My experience was nothing short of amazing and I have to commend Vaswani for what he does because learning a skill like driving, takes time, and that is something he ensures he tells his students. My advice to everyone is; Take your time learning how to drive, listen to the instructor, pay attention (always) and remember the brakes are your friend! What I will say is, nothing comes cheap, you have to spend a little, to get quality service. So don't look for the cheap route because you'll be only cheating yourself. I kept telling myself the day of the test I would pass, I told myself that would be the last money I spend trying to get my license. (Because it adds up.) I'm glad I got my license, and you can have yours too when you have an amazing instructor such as Mr. Vaswani himself!

    License Achieved Thanks to Vaswani

    Such a great driving school. Yes you must go through a 5 hour class and sit through videos but within those videos really shows you the consequences of other people who are victims of driving accidents be it the victim or the one driving. Whats well worth your payment is the accuracy and professionalism of Mr Vaswani when he is teaching you. He he will constantly practice with you whatever it is you wanna keep practicing just feel free to ask him . He has a fair balance of being easy going and following the rules of the road . You'll learn to be a great multitasker while you guys can vibe about any topic but he also will test if you are alert at all times . The fairest chillest and most professional teachers . Worth all the time and effort . He will also teach you the easiest method to parallel park just chill and relax . By test time comes you are fully equipped Thank you so much Bruh. Dary

    Thought I'd share this info for future prospects.

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.

    I booked lessons with this school so that I could continue practicing. My primary driving school…read morewas extremely busy and the time btw lessons with my instructor could be lengthy. I was able to book a lesson right away. I mean like 2 days from booking! Seemed like this instructor had open availability.... but okay, at least I could practice. I got Julio (I did not read the reviews beforehand...) and it was the worst experience that I've ever had driving. This man kept grabbing the steering wheel, yelling about how people complain about him, told me to look at this car and that car b/c they don't know what they're doing, etc.. This lesson was a mess. The ladies that I spoke to were always pleasant whenever someone actually answered the phone.. They were helpful however they always seems disorganized and in a rush. I understand there's a lot going on in the world they just might be understaffed. I requested to change instructors right after that lesson. I got Ron and he is actually the reason I'm even giving this school stars. Ron was like a breath of fresh air. Calm, patient and able to communicate while giving pointers & critiques. He's still stern without all of the extra rah rah and I appreciate that. If you are going to book lessons request Ron. I actually took my road test this week and passed. But wanted to share my experience.

    As someone who had failed two previous road tests, I was nervous about even attempting a third try…read more I selected Colwell's Driving School because it was in my area. What made me stay was my driving instructor, Ms. Carmen Diaz. Ms. Diaz was an angel and challenged me when needed. She pushed me and believed in me to pass even when I was doubting myself and letting my nerves get the best of me. She truly was a Godsend send and I hope anyone who chooses a driving school chooses Colwell's! PS. Yes I Passed my road test!!!!!

    I can't thank Gold Success Driving school enough for their attention to detail and helping me…read moreimprove and learn driving. my lessons with instructor "Michael R" was the best I had so far-and I learned a lot from him, He's so knowledgeable and professional and never raised his voice to me when it comes to driving. He taught me some valuable skills and information for my road test coming up and knows exactly what he's talking about when it comes to driving unlike other driving schools. I made the right choice by switching to gold success driving school. I recommend this school and picking up lessons with instructor "Michael R"

    Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and ended up…read morebeing a waste of both time and money. I did receive a refund for my unused portions of the package I paid for. I enrolled as a complete beginner and made that very clear from the start. Instead of receiving patient instruction, I experienced an instructor (Michael) who became frustrated with beginner mistakes and raised his voice during lessons. It was also extremely fast paced for a 20 lesson full package deal. On my third day I was being taught a 3 point turn and parallel parking when I was not comfortable turning onto roads and being centered on roads. There were also communication and scheduling issues. On one occasion, I arrived for what I believed was my scheduled lesson, only to find out the time had been changed without any phone call, email, or text notification. Despite the instructor being available, I spent approximately 40 minutes sitting in the vehicle while he stopped at McDonald's and handled personal matters rather than conducting the lesson. During multiple lessons, the instructor took lengthy personal phone calls while I was in the car, including highly personal conversations that contained inappropriate language. As a student learning to drive for the first time, I expected my instructor's full attention and professionalism, not distractions and personal matters. What ultimately made me decide to leave was being told after only three lessons that my remaining lessons and road test had been canceled because I was allegedly "too nervous." I had attended every lesson, was eager to learn, and had only just begun driving. Although I was offered another instructor, by that point I had lost confidence in the school's professionalism and chose to seek instruction elsewhere. Additionally, while waiting for one of my lessons, I overheard another student discussing a negative experience he had with an instructor named Frank. Under normal circumstances I would not place much weight on another student's experience alone. However, after everything I had personally experienced, hearing another student express similar frustrations further reduced my confidence in the school as a whole. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this driving school.
