Professional Driving School

User Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

I just read a lot of complains about how they may promise you to be picked up by the owner and then you get picked up by someone else, or about how old the cars are, etc., but the deal is this: 1. You will not find a better price (I looked everywhere). 2. They make it very convenient for you (they will pick you up and drive you back home, they can schedule your exam much earlier than online -on dates that the online system tells you there is no more availability-, and they can help you with the paperwork because they have a friendly relationship with everybody in that Penndot -incluiding the examinators-). 3. Most importantly, they will teach you the circuit perfectly and train you to overcome any circumnstances that may come up during your exam; making sure you pass it. I went for a 2 hour class on Tuesday and this morning I passed the exam (it was my first try). I spent quite less than with any other guys and had a great teacher that not only taught me for the test but also taught me how to park in a real street in between two real cars, etc. This morning, during my driving test, the computer system on the Penndot went down for a couple of hours and Penndot could not issue our driving licenses (we were about 18-20people and only two failed). When the system started to respond only the computers connected to the picture cameras came on, so they were sending people home and asking them to come back on Tuesday (I went to ask myself and they told me to go home). Simon went to talk to the woman in the front desk of the Penndot and they processed our papers, so I left with my license in hand and I don't need to come back on Tuesday. Again, they have the best rates, they are efficient and very convenient, so complaining about anything else would be plain bitching. Un saludo para Eddie, el mejor instructor que tiene Simon.

You can never imagine how screwed-up these guys are until you actually meet them. I passed my test and have my license with me now but will strongly recommend you not to go there (or even call them). These are just a bunch of tricksters (around 5) with almost no education and manners and importantly, have no idea how to treat their customers after taking money from them. In summary, this is what they do (based on my experience and on talks with others) - some random, chain-smoking guy picks you up from your home (although the owner assures you that he's going to pick you up) in a shabby car around 6 o'clock in the morning, take you to the Penn-dot center (it's always gonna be Columbus Blvd.), drive you around on the route followed by the examiner for 10-15 mins (so that you get familiarized with it) and that's it. Also, as soon as you step in the car, they ask (and sometimes, yell!) for the money, so that you do not have a choice of leaving.

I, personally, paid for 2 hours of lessons (total $ 100, which included 2 hours of lessons and car drive for test), but honestly, I did not get to drive for more than 15 minutes. And you know why because at any time, there were 3 student-drivers in the car, and everybody gets to drive turn-by-turn (though the owner promised me that the lessons would be on "one-on-one" basis). You may get your license by conning up the test route, but believe me, you would not feel even a bit more comfortable on your driving after getting "lessons" from them.

Do yourself a favor, pay $25-30 more to some other driving school, but stay away from these cheap, screwed up cheaters.

Excellent service I must say. Very much friendly and safety oriented instructors. Every bit of driving was instructed properly and I got the liscence in first attempt itself. I will definitely be referring few of my friends and family members to this institute.
