Fantastic experience: Very nice people, great instructors - highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Great instructors. Very patient they made it easy for me when I took my road test.very encouraging
Fantastic experience: At 34 years old, I decided it was time to learn how to drive & get my license. With my Learner's Permit coming up to it's expiration date of June 2025--I had to get ON IT with actual driving because I didn't want to have to re-take the Learner's Permit Test (I'm not great with "written" tests). I Googled every driving school in the Manhattan (where I live) & Brooklyn (where I work) area. Cedeno Driving School was the choice I decided to move forward with. The packages & individual prices were very reasonable. The school was very accessible for commuting. The instructors were patient, fun, & adapted their teaching methods to my personal learning speed. After 8 lessons (with absolutely no previous driving experience EVER) & 3 Road Tests-- I PASSED DURING MY 3RD TEST ON 12/2 AT RED HOOK'S TEST SITE & NOW HAVE MY LICENSE! Thank you Cedeno for helping me achieve this goal. Big shoutout to Jorge (my main instructor), Fabian, Lou, Chris, & Marcita who all helped me in different ways!
Fantastic experience: The school is very well organized. Amazing experience, was able to pass my rose test. I would highly recommend this driving school
Fantastic experience: Absolutely love this driving school! I had Jorge as my driving instructor and he was awesome. He really worked with me to make sure I knew how to drive and also pass the test with the DMV expectations. Definitely will recommend this school to everyone. Do no hesitate to book with Cedeno driving school!
Fantastic experience: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to the instructors at Cedeno Driving School, especially Jorge! I passed my road test on the first try and it’s all thanks to wonderful tips provided by the team at Cedeno!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely awesome driving school! They really prepare you for the test and being very thorough and helpful! I have learned to drive outside of the US but got a bit rusty and needed to refresh my memory and prepare for the road test. 5 lessons from Cedeno were more than enough, instructors are amazing and helpful. Everyone is very friendly as well so it all was enjoyable and not at all stressful. They have the full package - driving lessons, 5hours class and they book your road test, drive you there and provide the car for the test. Even if you don’t need driving lessons but just this 5hours class, I recommend doing it through them, class is built to be interactive and enjoyable. Its also doubled in Spanish which is very considerate Thank you Cedeno
Fantastic experience: Thank you, Cedeno! I just passed the road test today and I knew going into it that the only thing that would stop me from passing was nerves. I felt so prepared thanks to George and the other instructors I had over the course of a 2 month period where I took 20 classes. Thank you all for everything!
Fantastic experience: Marcita and staff are wonderful. They help me overcome challenges which helped prepare me for my driving test. Would 100% recommend
Fantastic experience: I can't Thank enough to this school.They are the best. Please come here if you want to be a good driver
Fantastic experience: Hands down one of the best driving schools I've ever come across. The prices are pretty fair/reasonable and the driving instructors are amazing especially Fabien and Jorge. They are patient and understanding when it comes to teaching the basics of driving and will go at your pace so that you understand how to apply the knowledge behind the wheel. I definitely would recommend Cendeno to anyone serious about getting their driver's license.
Fantastic experience: Passed my driver's test on the first try after a few lessons! Everyon was very nice and helpful.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Cedeno. All classes were great and the instructors are super nice. I can highly recommend them. Thank you again Cedeno for helping me get my license.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school! All instructors and staff are nice and helpful. Even the 5-hrs class turned out to be quite useful. They really care about helping you pass.
Fantastic experience: Great experience. The 5-hour class was very insightful. The instructors are very friendly and good companions to have before doing the road test, which can be intimidating if you don't know what to expect.
Fantastic experience: Had a very good and smooth experience, passed after just one lesson with Chris. Chris, Thank you!
Fantastic experience: A big thank you to Luis for all the lessons, thorough instructions, and immense patience. The classes were incredibly detailed and informative - I'll definitely recommend Cedeno Driving School to anyone looking to learn. Thanks also to Marcita and Mayelin for guiding me through the school selection, onboarding, and all the administrative details. And Christian, I appreciate you driving me to the test and sharing those last-minute tips and encouragement! Thank you all for your support - I couldn’t have done it without you. Fantastic team
Fantastic experience: Great experience! School is organized, teachers are patient and helpful, and they take care of everything for you. Passed my road test on the first try with their help.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience working with Cedeno. All of the instructors were terrific. They explained exactly what a driver needs to do to pass the road test, and their guidance on technique (especially the turning maneuvers) was clear and useful. Would recommend them to any new or rusty driver!
Fantastic experience: As a native New Yorker i never felt the need to drive because of how accessible public transportation, Uber and Lyft are but since I travel often back and forth to the Puerto Rico; I felt it was time to officially get a license. Cedeño worked with me by helping me feel comfortable on the road. Unfortunately, it took me 3 times to get the road test right due to being so nervous on the time of my exam. Jorge my instructor made the exam super easy for me. He constantly cheered me on and told me you will pass you know how to drive. On our last session he made sure i was completely ready for the exam. I highly recommend Jorge as an instructor. He is an easy going guy. He will help you feel comfortable driving and a great instructor. If you’re looking for a place to learn how to drive, i highly recommend Cedeno Driving school. Especially if your schedule like mine is very limited they work with you and try to get you a class. I really appreciated that the owner called me to congratulate me on my passing of the exam. Thank you guys for your patience and accommodating my limited availability, especially for road test.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with the school in every aspect: lessons, scheduling, road test, and driving instructors
Fantastic experience: Everything from the 5 hour class to the road test, Cedeno Driving School’s professionalism and guidance is sure to see you succeed; I passed the road test on my very first try! Thank you to the Cedeno Driving School team for everything!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience the best driving school ! Amazing service and staff
Fantastic experience: This school is amazing. I passed on my first try!!! The best the driving School
Fantastic experience: Today i took my road test and passed! Very professional and friendly people. 11/10. i really recommend this place for new drivers!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience at Cedeno Driving School! My instructor, Jorge, was incredibly knowledgeable and patient. He provided clear guidance and helpful feedback. Thank you Jorge!
Fantastic experience: Excellent customer service, very professional. The best driving school, very happy to have chosen this school
Fantastic experience: I passed today on the first try at Red Hook. I have been driving for a long time (previously had US and intl licenses) and was recommended Cedeno when I moved back. Having had to do a driving test 3x and therefore having had a breadth of experience of instructors elsewhere, this place is really a breath of fresh air. Logistically, it is right next to the L train, the staff are very friendly and bilingual in Spanish (if relevant to you). They have a package of the 5hr video and 3 lessons to help you pass if you’re experienced. The video class was exceptional; it reminded me of everything practical from when I first took my test at 17. Jorge reminded me of all the relevant test tips I needed and practiced parking multiple times. He knew that, having driven abroad for years, there were right of way rules at the stop signs (4-way) that I may have forgotten and immediately ticked through them. For the second lesson, I had Fred with whom I practiced parking. I was incredibly nervous on the day - more-so than when I was at 17 - because I felt it would be actually embarrassing to fail after driving for years, and Luis was a very relaxing presence. I was honestly convinced the whole day that I had failed afterwards but ended up passing with one minor citation so had been well prepared. For first time drivers, driving in NY is super tough, and you have to build confidence and skill in tandem. I can’t recommend this school more highly for doing both.
Fantastic experience: Lovely family business! Personable, warm service. I got my (European) driving license over 20 years ago but needed to get a US one. Within a day, they arranged everything, including a road test. On the day of the test, Cedeno offered me a tailor-made approach. Just what I needed to know and what to look out for at the test which came directly afterwards.
Fantastic experience: If it is your first time learning how to drive, Cedeno is a great school for you to start with. The 5 hours class with Louis is extremely helpful and fascinating. You will definitely practice and learn a lot of skills, technique to drive safely and surely to pass your road test. I passed it just at the first try. The cars are in great conditions and easy to get used to. Everyone in the team is very friendly.
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Cedeño Driving school! The instructors were patient and knowledgeable. The cars were in great condition, easy to handle, and met all the requirements for the test. The team really helped boost my confidence, and I passed my test on the first try! Highly recommend this driving school for both lessons and the test car rental option.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with the school overall with lessons, scheduling, and road test day with Chris. George was an amazing instructor, keeping things clear and light, going above and beyond to make sure I pass - thank you!!
Fantastic experience: The nicest staff! Very thankful for m experience at this driving school
Fantastic experience: Go to Cedeno. Pay them money. Pay attention. Practice. Get your license. Simple. George and the rest of the Cedeno team are top notch. Can not recommend this place strongly enough.
Fantastic experience: Everyone is very nice and give great tips to pass the roadtest. I took classes with Jorge, Luis and Fabian. All 3 were equally amazing. 10/10 recommend this driving school
Fantastic experience: My sincere thanks and appreciation to Cedeno Driving School. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone wanting to pursue a Driver's License. They were very professional, yet friendly. Very encouraging and efficient. Special thanks to Fabian. I couldn't have achieved my license without your patience, instructions and encouragement. Thanks also to George for your encouragement and jovial attitude, which helped to put me at ease.
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with the school. The instructors Jorge and Fabian explained everything to me on a way that it was impossible to not understand. I highly recommend the school and the instructors. Jorge was so funny and kind made me feel very comfortable and I recommend him as a teacher.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience. Family run. The team really cares. Flexible with rescheduling and help you every step of way. Don’t even think about booking anyone else. Passed with flying colors these guys are the BEST in NY.
Fantastic experience: Little to no driving experience to licensed and out on the road solo in just about 6-7 weeks! If you’re uncertain or scared of driving go to Cedeño! All the instructors were really great. Jorge, Fabian, Luis. Shout out to all of them and the rest of the Cedeño team! Go here!
Fantastic experience: Jorge was my driving instructor for local and highway lessons. He was great! He is patient and has taught me very helpful tips, especially when driving on the busy streets of Williamsburg! I had some prior driving experience, but took lessons to boost my confidence and to improve my skills on the road. I highly recommend this school because they really helped me to become more comfortable on the roads and highways as compared to before I took the lessons! Thank you for all your help!
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much to George, my instructor and the entire team at Cedano. They are so helpful, considerate, and really do wish you the very best in your quest to get your driving licence. Can't say enough good about them!
Fantastic experience: Jorge was the best I had him and I passed my first time.
Fantastic experience: Last year when I failed the road test, I was very disappointed and I couldn’t understand what I did wrong. I thought I was just not prepared enough but after I joined Cedeno Driving School, I realized that I hadn’t learned some crucial techniques which would have guaranteed my success!! I went from being a really nervous driver to a somewhat confident driver who got his license on the second attempt and it’s all thanks to great people working at Cedeno. A special thanks to George for teaching me how to drive. You’re an amazing teacher and I couldn’t have cleared my road test without you. And another shoutout to all the people working on the front desk. They made all of my rescheduling requests for classes without any well-deserved complaints. I highly recommend Cedeno Driving School for anyone who might be giving the road test for the first time or have failed their road test countless number of times.
Fantastic experience: I strongly recommend Cedano - the staff is super friendly, and the instructors were great. I signed up for the 10 class plan, where I had 6 with George, 3 with Luis, and 1 with Fabian. They have a slightly different ways of teaching, but it was helpful learning from a few perspectives. I didn't have trouble passing my road test.
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend this driving school for any beginners! I was able to pass on my first try with just 4 classes with George and 1 class with Luis. Very friendly and articulate staff that help you navigate on what’s best!
Fantastic experience: Wanted to Say Thank you to the whole staff at cedeno ,good people’s. Had 3 instructors in total each came with great tips and wisdom ! Passed on my first try , but a SPECIAL thanks to George for having positive vibes, a great personality and giving me the confidence with every lesson & conversation. And most importantly teaching with patience and great Smile . THANK YOU so much.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my drivers test on the first try with 5 points after taking lessons with Cedeno!!! My instructor George was super funny and very kind and taught me all the tools I needed, and Luis's 5 hour class was extremely clear and informative. The area around the school was perfect for practicing all sorts of situations yet not overly busy. I now feel super confident parallel parking and excited to drive all over the world thanks to the amazing Cedeno Driving School!!!!
Fantastic experience: Passed on my first try! Was taught for three great classes with two very good instructors. I had taken the test once before in the past with a friend instructing me and it was a waste of time. Please, do yourself a favor and hire this school to save you a TON of time. Also, they are very supportive. Great family vibes. 11/10
Fantastic experience: This is an amazing driving school where the staff is very welcoming, friendly, and very knowledgeable. I have previously attended 2 other driving schools but I caught a bad vibe from them. I have driving anxiety so the general attitude of the instructors matters greatly. At Cedeno, the instructors know how to give valuable feedback without stressing you out. They also give you a mock test if you have an upcoming road test. If you have driving anxiety I strongly recommend Cedeno. I passed my road test at the Red Hook area.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Cedeño! Took classes with Jorge, Eric, and Luis - who went through everything needed to pass the test. Shout out to Jorge who I took the most lessons with, super friendly and informative. Everyone in the office is very nice and made the whole process easy. Would definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing experience with Cedeno! Highly recommend. Best instructors. They helped me hone my skills and gain confidence as a driver. Jorge is such a wonderful instructor! Thank you, Cedeno!
Fantastic experience: Amazing service. Well knowledgeable. They even have Western Union services, so no more long walks. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Great driving school. Friendly instructors. They're very open to questions. I passed my road test thanks to them. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Jorge, Luis, and Fabian were amazing instructors! I passed first try with no prior experience.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Amazing people and George was a great instructor during my lessons. Book with them, Passed on my first test !
Fantastic experience: I had put off getting my driver's license due to severe driving anxiety that had developed throughout the years. After having wasted my money trying out 4 different driving schools throughout the last few years, I finally decided to get over my fear of driving and Cedeno is the major reason for why I was able to pass on the first try. I had lessons with Luis, Fabian and Jorge and they were all incredibly helpful in preparing me for the road. Each instructor has a different teaching style and will have you practicing in different areas of the neighborhood so you get experience with different streets. I would recommend them for anyone that I know that wishes to get their license.
Fantastic experience: I can confidently say that I learnt how to drive at Cedeño Driving School. Today I passed the road test on my first try (with flying colors) and it’s all thanks to them. As someone who was incredibly nervous about driving and had no prior experience, believe me, they are good. I chose the 15 lessons package over the 10 one because I wanted to be on the safe side. However, 10 lessons in, I already felt ready for the test. I used a few different instructors throughout (special thanks to George, Fabian, and Luis) and they were all great. They all had slightly different styles, so maybe do the same and maximize your learning experience by keeping it varied. Everyone at the school is highly professional, attentive and responsive. Also, booking all of my lessons + road test was super easy. Final advice: book your test for the afternoon (at Seaview) and have one or two final lessons that morning.
Fantastic experience: I hadn't driven in 10 years (and from a foreign country) and I was able to get to speed with Cedeno Driving School within just a few weeks of lessons. They are very professional, provide good communication and instruction, and provide a service that is well worth the price. Returning or first time drivers should definitely check them out!
Fantastic experience: Chose it from the rest of the schools by stellar google reviews and reddit recommendations. Had a class with almost every instructor and all of them were very nice, patient and guiding. Fabian was my favorite and I had most of my classes with him. I took 10 classes and passed the road test right after my last class. Everyone in this school was very encouraging and supportive, definitely recommend. tldr: took 10 classes and passed the road test first time
Fantastic experience: Had an overall great experience with the school and the instructors. Before joining the school, I had never driven before but with their help and guidance, I passed my driving test in the first attempt.
Fantastic experience: Cedeno Driving School provides top-notch instruction for all learners. With Jorge leading most of my lessons and Lui joining for a few, I was impressed by their ability to immediately immerse me in driving, regardless of any initial nervousness. Their feedback struck the perfect balance between encouragement and reminders of the basics, with Jorge excelling in calming nerves and building confidence. Before my road test, I ran through a mock exam with Lui, who accurately assessed my performance, resulting in a successful test experience and pass.
Fantastic experience: Best driving school in the city. Awesome instructors! I highly advise coming here to learn. They will teach you everything you need to know.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Cedeno Driving School to whoever that wants to get their license and learn the right way. Thanks to George,Luis and Fabian for helping me get it and thank you to the staff!
Fantastic experience: Every driving instructor at Cedeno is phenomenal- I passed my road test after just 6 lessons!
Fantastic experience: This is such a brilliant driving school, I booked a course of lessons with them in May and passed my test within 3 weeks. The office staff were super accommodating and helpful. I hadn’t had a lesson for 27 years and they helped me start again from scratch. I had most of my lessons with Luis around East Williamsburg and Bushwick, he was excellent and very patient with my driving test nerves! He taught me how to master parallel parking and coached me for dealing with the test on the day. On the day another instructor took me down to the test centre, he was great at calming my nerves on the day and encouraging. I highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Cedeno Driving School! The instructors were amazing! Shout out to Jorge who really took the time to help me hone my skills and help me pass my driving test first time! Really great family business were everyone was really friendly.
Fantastic experience: This place had good reviews so I decided to take driving classes with them and they were so helpful. I passed my test in one try! Definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: Great school. Very efficient in preparing for the road test and scheduling it. Classes are also available in the evening and on weekends, which is very convenient for people who work full-time. Very friendly staff as well
Fantastic experience: I passed after three classes Jorge and Luis had many great tips and were very patient. Their sense of humor made classes, efficient and fun and made me remember certain mistakes to avoid on my test. they made sure I was ready before taking the test as well and gave me homework after every classes. The staff that took us to the test were very comforting as well. THANK YOU CEDANO DRIVING SCHOOL!
Fantastic experience: I had no driving experience prior to starting classes at Cedeno and passed on my first attempt at the test. The school staff are highly professional, attentive and responsive. All of my lessons / test date were scheduled seamlessly. The driving instructors, especially Luis, Fabian and George were exceptional at providing tips / feedback. As others have noted, Cedeno is the best driving school in Brooklyn. Would definitely recommend taking lessons here and would work with different instructors to maximize your learning experience.
Fantastic experience: Had the best experience with all the teachers at Cedeno, ended up passing on the first try! Would absolutely recommend to anyone who needs to get their license. So friendly and efficient!
Fantastic experience: I was nervous about going to driving school because I’ve heard a lot of horror stories about nightmare instructors and shady practices… I found Cedeno through all the other incredibly positive google reviews and got a good vibe so I called them and gave it a shot. On the phone they were very helpful and recommended classes to me based on my experience. Long story short, my driving instructor Jorge got me totally up to speed in one week. He made me feel comfortable in the car and driving on the road, and feel 100% ready to pass my test. I had only around an hour of driving experience when I came into Cedeno, and after a week with Jorge (4 classes total, and he even came in for a refresher for me early in the morning before my test) I passed my driving test first try. If you’re looking to learn how to drive for the first time, or if you just need to know tips and tricks for the test, go with Cedeno and ask for Jorge. I’m looking forward to taking highway lessons with him to help me be even more comfortable behind the wheel. TRUST ME! If you need to pass your driving test this is the place to go. Thank you to everyone at Cedeno! I’ll be seeing you guys soon :)
Fantastic experience: Thanks to JORGE I was able to pass my test on my first try. I am a new driver and I only took 10 lessons before taking the test. Jorge made me feel comfortable, safe and made it a fun learning experience. Definitely recommend Cedeno and Jorge for any new drivers!!
Fantastic experience: I had a great driving lesson with Luis. Very thorough and provided helpful tips and helped me practice for my exam. Highly recommend taking driving lessons here! Was very easy to schedule a lesson over the phone as well !
Fantastic experience: This is the best driving school that will make sure you pass your road test! they are very professional people and very kind. George was my instructor during all my classes and he teaches very well and throughly and made sure i was ready for the test! i recommend coming here to get your license!
Fantastic experience: Can't say enough good things about my experience with Cedeno Driving School. The instructors and all of the staff went above and beyond and I would highly recommend them if you find yourself in need.
Fantastic experience: This will be a honest review payed with my hard earned money and not sponsored in any way or offered a discount. This school took the time To explain everything to me. How the process will be from start to finish. I took the package with 3 lessons and luis and Fabian are great instructors very patient and direct knew what to expect in road test never got upset for asking a million and one questions. If u wanna get your driver's license you need to go there and u will pass . Will be taking my 3 kids in the future. Gracias X todo
Fantastic experience: I couldn’t be happier enough, today I passed my driving test, never drove before . I got my license thanks to Cedeno Driving School, magnificent instructores very professionals , I took 6 lessons with Fabian 2 lessons with Luis and 2 with Jorge , I learned from each one the techniques to be able to pass with only 5 points , I bought a package of 10 lessons and I don’t regret it , I highly recommend it . Thanks to the ladies of the front desk they are very professional and and friendly.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Cedeno- I was a first time driver and had only practiced in a parking lot for maybe 20 minutes before starting my lessons. I bought the 10 class package bundle which includes the road test and car. My lessons were very informative and each instructor I had was very friendly and patient with me, but firm. I mostly had Fabian as my instructor and his parallel parking tips helped me tremendously. The 5hr class with Luis was also extremely helpful. I had my road test today and they drove me and another student to the test site and back, and they try to pick a good testing site that has good conditions for you. I just found out I passed and could not have done it without all the support from all the instructors I worked with! The reception was also always very professional and on top of things with scheduling classes, the exam and sending reminders.
Negative experience: Would not recommend. Waste of almost 1K Customer service was so/so or even awkward at times, as if no one truly wanted to be bothered with me EXCEPT for the kind fellow with the braces, great smile and he exemplifies excellent customer service! Can't say that about any of the other front counter staff. 1st red flag: a $30 service fee to pay for classes with debit/credit card. She slashed it in half but it still left a sour taste in my mouth. 2nd red flag: I was given 4 different instructors instead of 1-2. It seems like there's little to no communication between the instructors so they're up to date on your progress when you're with another instructor. One instructor F told me to basically roll through the stop sign! I was being taught incorrectly! 3rd red flag: Lack of professionalism. Yes, you're a great driver, but the instructing needs improvement. Most of my appointments were rescheduled, started a bit late yet either ended on time or early!! 4th red flag: I believe this instructor was mad that I had issues with the $30 service charge and I feel he sabotaged me. He was unprofessional, talked/complained too much, bad attitude, would grab the wheel, use the break and just tell me to do everything instead of allowing me to make mistakes so I could learn from them! Didn't have enough moments of relying on my own skills because he'd help me too much! Additionally, he seemed bothered by my questions and/or presence, tried to make me feel stupid for asking questions or making mistakes which didn't work. He also loved using the N word on at least 3 separate occassions, so, if you're black, I'd avoid instructor JORGE all together! I know my experience would've been better if I looked different. Three out of the four instructors I had were great, I did great in all lessons except for Jorge's lessons in my honest opinion. I ultimately did not pass. Failed miserably. I can't blame anyone but MYSELF for ignoring the FIRST red flag.
Fantastic experience: I was totally new to driving and passed my road test on a single attempt. Jorge, my instructor, was very patient with me through all my lessons. Easy 5 stars.
Fantastic experience: Excellent instructors that are patient with you and give you everything you need to pass the exam. Making an appointment for my exam was easy and fast would definitely recommend this driving school.
Fantastic experience: Driving instructor is on point and calm. I believe it’s Ben (rocks a sweet mustache) the lady at the desk is warm, welcoming and organized. The overall look of office and outside is not a reflection of the great people running this school. I am happy this is behind. Best going forward Cedeno….thank you.
Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school! The instructors were all friendly, patient and provided useful tips for the test. It was an efficient and easy process end-to-end - from purchasing the package, the pre-licensing course, scheduling lessons and then taking the test.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test with the 10 lesson package deal. Didn’t drive at all really before this and passed my test with flying colors. Had instructor George (Jorge) the whole time and really owe it to him. Teaches you everything you need to drive and pass the test. Everyone was always super nice in the front as well. Overall great place! Thank you:)
Fantastic experience: I purchased the six package lesson, and I passed on my first try!! I did have a little experience prior, so if you’ve never driven before, I suggest you get at least 10. The instructors were very detailed, and gave a lot of tips and tricks to help you pass your road test. I mostly drove with Luis and George, both amazing instructors. They really make you feel comfortable behind the wheel, and teach you how to be confident and prepared for your test.
Fantastic experience: Cedeno was great with making the lessons feel fun and accessible for a new driver. They were also flexible about scheduling lessons and offered a variety of options. They were there for me when it came time for my road test, and I'm very grateful for their support!
Fantastic experience: I cannot believe that I am typing this, I passed on my first try!!! Thank you so much to Cedeno and all the instructors, Fred, Jorge, Fabian and Luis! Each one had their own unique teaching style and I learnt something from each of them. I genuinely enjoyed my lessons vs. previously when I dreaded them with another driving school. The instructors gave me confidence which was what I absolutely needed. I am so grateful. Would highly highly recommend to anyone wanting to get their driving license in NYC. THANK YOU!
Fantastic experience: So happy with my experience. My instructors, Fabian, Luis, and George were all incredible teachers and very consistent with what they are teaching. George recommended that I watch a video of the test route on youtube, and Luis recommended that students find a vehicle to practice with outside of lessons. This advice was extremely helpful to gain enough confidence to pass the test. I considered many different schools before deciding on Cedeno and I truly could not be happier with my decision.
Fantastic experience: I took 10 classes here and passed my exam on the first try. Prior to taking these classes I had 0 car experience whatsoever. I tried out all the instructors and I would definitely recommend Luis if you want to learn a lot. All the instructors are friendly and make sure you feel comfortable while you’re learning, but I liked that Luis was a little more strict with his teaching. I think if I did not take the majority of my classes with him, I would have less of a chance of passing. Front desk people are very kind and lenient when it came to changing appointments too! I booked this place because of all the good reviews and it did not disappoint.
Fantastic experience: If I could give Cedeno 10 stars, I would! They made the process of getting my first American Driver's License so easy and seamless, it was easier than renewing my Italian one at the consulate! I passed my Road test on the first try, and it's thanks to the amazing instructors at Cedeno. First of all, their prices are very honest. Signing up for classes is super easy and quick thanks to their website, and the 5-hour class is done on Zoom so you can conveniently take it from home. The 5-hour class was very useful, because Luis explained the points system used in the Road test and taught us what to pay attention to. I had 6 driving lessons: 3 with Jorge, 2 with Luis, and one with Fabian. All instructors are great and they take the time to explain things in detail during the lesson. They have slightly different styles: Luis is more concise and explains maneuvers step by step in a very precise way, just like he did in the 5-hour class. Jorge is warm and extroverted and he makes you feel comfortable driving right away. Fabian is the instructor I took my last class with, and he was very calm and reassuring. Everyone at Cedeno is great! I will definitely sign up for a Highway Driving lesson with them, now that I have my License.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! The instructors are great : they give great tips and make you practice everything that is required for the test. Passed the test thanks to them. Scheduling the classes and road test was seamless as well.
Fantastic experience: George was a very nice and helpful instructor. I failed the road test twice before passing and he always helped me to correct my mistakes. Highly recommend Cedeno driving school!
Fantastic experience: Really good driving school. The tips and tricks from Luis and Fred were really really helpful. Whenever you have a doubt just ask. I personally recommend to schedule your last class the same day as your road test.
