Fantastic experience: I want to extend a huge thank you to Vlad, who was truly the best driving instructor. As a first-time driver with no prior experience, Vlad made me feel comfortable and confident behind the wheel. His teaching style is incredibly effective, and I couldn’t have passed my road test without his guidance. Thanks to Vlad, I successfully passed my road test on the first try! I highly recommend Vlad and Bell Auto School to anyone seeking the best driving instruction. Thank you, Bell Auto School, for providing such a great experience!

Fantastic experience: We are so thankful for Bell Auto Driving School. We hired Bell after my daughter finished Driver's Ed and failed her 1st road test. Her instructor was so calm and encouraging. He was always on time and picked her up right from the house. My daughter felt super comfortable with him and was able to focus on her driving skills. I 100% recommend this auto school.

Fantastic experience: I had Howie as my instructor and he was really nice and patient!! I passed my road test the first time I took it and big shout out to this man!

Michael Rastegar 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of working with Gordon Edward during my driving lessons years ago, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He was incredibly patient and knowledgeable, taking the time to teach me various techniques that helped me pass my road test on the first try. Gordon Edward has a relaxed and personable demeanor, which made me feel comfortable while driving. He understands that learning to drive can be daunting, and his patience made a world of difference. I’m writing this long-overdue review because I often receive calls from people I've referred to Gordon who want to thank me. Many of them have started with other instructors who simply don’t compare to Gordon's teaching style. Over the years, I’ve referred countless friends and family members to him, all of whom have shared positive experiences and even referred their friends as well. If you’re looking for a great driving instructor, he is the one!

Fantastic experience: I have nothing but good things to say about Adam with Bell Auto Driving School. He’s awesome! Adam was my daughter’s instructor. With only having driven once prior to her first lesson, she was very nervous and anxious. Adam was extremely patient with her, and provided clear detailed instructions. Her driving skills improved with each lesson as did her confidence. She was well-prepared for her road test and passed on the first try! What more could you ask for?

Fantastic experience: 5/5 Stars for Bell Auto and Stephen Jackson. I had very minimal driving experience before I started taking lessons, but after 10 lessons I passed the test first try. Stephen was a fantastic teacher, not only for teaching how to take the test, but also how to be a good driver beyond it. His humor and personality made lessons exciting and I couldn’t recommend him more. Ask for Stephen if you take lessons!

Alycia Siegel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Tom is an amazing driving instructor. His relaxed, calming, caring, manner combined with very clear step by step directions and encouragement makes learning to drive easy and enjoyable. At first I was so hesitant to learn how to drive and lacked confidence in my abilities, but after I started lessons with Tom I felt extremely hopeful and my abilities improved with every lesson. The office staff who answer the phones are lovely, accommodating and attentive.

Allie Bhagan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I decided to take driving lessons! I had taken drivers Ed at school but I was still not confident and had a hard time finding time to practice with my parents. With Bell Auto, my driving instructor, Vlad, was able to understand and target the areas I needed more help with. Not only did he help me master basic skills like parallel parking and lane changes, he also helped me to be a defensive driver by reinforcing different checks I should make before making a move and looking at the drivers around me. There were some mistakes I didn’t even realize I was making and with Vlad I was able to correct them! Leading up to the road test we had done multiple practice road tests and I was able to pinpoint the areas I needed to improve before booking my road test. When I did take my road test I was confident in what I had learned and passed on my first try with 5 points off! After the road test, I had some unused lessons left so we were able to practice driving on the highway which would’ve been so difficult if I wasn’t with Vlad! Throughout the entire experience Vlad was easily reached by text and always had a positive energy. He was super patient and willing to reexplain things if I didn’t understand them on the first try! My family and I have called these lessons the best investment we ever made! Definitely do lessons with Bell Auto and ask for Vlad!!

Fantastic experience: Pass the road test on my FIRST TRY thanks to TOM and PAULETTE! I would highly recommend Bell Auto School, I had great experience with them. Every person there is extremely helpful and very pleasant to speak with. I never had any issues with scheduling my classes or road test. I had 2 great instructors Paulette & Tom. Paulette made sure she took her time to go over everything and was very patient , she helped me get over my fear of driving, I would have love to contiued with her but unfortunatley she move. Then I was assigned Tom as my 2nd instuctor and he is an excellent teacher, kept me calm every lesson, very knowledgeable and experienced. Tom was one of the reasons I was able to pass my road test on my first try !

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend Adam highly enough! Learning to drive with him was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. His calm and patient demeanor instantly put me at ease behind the wheel, which was crucial as a nervous beginner. Adam's expertise and clear explanations helped me grasp even the trickiest maneuvers quickly. He tailored this lesson to focus on areas where I needed improvement, ensuring I progressed steadily. By the time I took my test, I felt confident and well-prepared, thanks to Adam's thorough guidance. If you're looking for a skilled instructor who genuinely cares about your progress, Adam is the perfect choice!

Leah and Nick 1 year ago

Negative experience: If i could give this place a -10 I would. first of all, I made appts for a driving lesson multiple times they got confused about the lessons and screwed up the entire schedule. Second of all the driving instructors are unprofessional and tend to get too personal and are rude and say out of pocket comments. Also during the exam the testing guy (older black gentleman) was giving unreasonable requests. telling me to turn left at the last second- causing me to slam on my breaks. then proceed to yell at me and called rude names. This place is unprofessional and they set you up for failure. save your money!!!!! I know better driving schools upstate and around the city if anyone wants a better experience, otherwise suit yourself.

Joyce Hwang 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My lessons with Vlad really helped me overcome my fear of driving, especially after a previous negative experience at a different driving school. Thanks to Vlad’s structured lessons, patience, encouragement, and attention to detail, I passed my road test today! I truly think I gained so much from my lessons with him than I would have otherwise at a different school or if I had learned on my own - he always spent every lesson teaching me how to be an all-around better driver, whether it was learning how to more efficiently operate a car, or learning how to quickly assess my surroundings and make quick, but smart decisions on the road. Lessons at this school really helped me not only pass my road test, but also helped me gain confidence and be the safest driver I can be. Thank you!

Anthony Morello 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of taking the 5 hour course with Mr. Howard Garthwaite. He is a very knowledgeable gentleman who went through all of the concepts of driving. He didn’t only teach us the content on his slides, he also threw in many tips to pass the road test, and general knowledge of the road. People will dislike the idea of sitting through a long class, but with Mr G’s enthusiasm and humor complied with his factual knowledge about driving, it goes fast! Thank you Mr. Garthwaite and I hope that I pass the road test when the time comes!

Andrew H 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Bell Auto for lessons and road test prep. The whole process was very smooth and everyone at the office was helpful. If you are able to request an instructor, I would definitely recommend Vlad. He was my instructor for my lesson and he took me to the road test. Vlad knows what he's doing and is very knowledgable in terms of what the DMV employees are looking for during the road test. My main concern prior to the test was parallel parking, but Vlad was able to teach me a quick trick within a few minutes, and I nailed it during the test.

Marisa Noon 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had 10 lessons with Peter and he was amazing. Over the years, driving has given me a surplus of anxiety. I am 24 and have been pushing back taking my road test for a very long time. Starting off as a beginner taking lessons, I had so much fear behind the wheel. Thankfully, Peter was kind, calm, and patient every step of the way. He gave constructive criticism in a way that was extremely helpful, encouraging, and reassuring. On top of my confidence, I was struggling with parallel parking and he made sure we focused significantly more of our time on this skill until I understood how to master it for the road test. I can confidently say I have become a more comfortable and competent driver because of Peter’s help! On the day of the road test I was pretty panicked. Peter was an incredible support and reminded me to just breathe before doing anything. Driving can be scary but having an instructor who is empathetic, passionate about driving and teaching, and eager to help beginner/ intermediate drivers, and those who just need to refine some skills makes the experience so much more validating and enjoyable. I passed my road test the first time and don’t think I would have been able to do so without Peter’s knowledge and advice. I cannot think of a better instructor to recommend!!

Russell Amante 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Bell Auto Driving School provides its students with the opportunity to properly learn their way in the car at a pace that is comfortable to them. My instructor, Vlad, was exceptionally patient, informative, and insightful. While he of course taught me how to safely operate a motor vehicle, he also provided additional information such as how to properly predict the movements of drivers and how to gauge what the situation outside of the vehicle is. My instructor, and the company he represents, occupies the highest echelon of quality. Not only did I learn how to pass my road test on the first try, I also learned how to be a safer and more efficient driver overall and having fun whilst doing so. Simply put, there is no better place to take Drivers Ed than Bell Auto.

Kevin Jimenez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’m pleased to recommend Bell Auto Driving School and more specifically, Vlad. He’s an exceptional instructor, patient and communicated with us regularly.

Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being trained by Bob as my driving instructor, and I must say, he exceeded all my expectations. From the very first lesson, Bob's calm demeanor and patient approach put me at ease behind the wheel. What sets Bob apart is his unwavering dedication to his students' success. He never rushed through any aspect of the training, always taking the time to address any questions or concerns I had. His encouragement and positive reinforcement gave me the confidence I needed to overcome my apprehensions and become a competent driver. Throughout my time with Bob, he demonstrated professionalism, reliability, and a genuine passion for teaching. His guidance not only helped me pass my driving test with flying colors but also equipped me with the skills and knowledge to navigate the roads safely. I cannot recommend Bob highly enough to anyone seeking a top-notch driving instructor. If you're looking for someone who is kind, patient, and truly invested in your driving journey, Bob is the instructor for you. Thank you, Bob, for everything!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a wonderful experience while learning to drive. Her instructor Vlad was very patient and did a great job teaching her. She had never been behind the wheel before. She gained confidence and will continue to take more lessons with Vlad as she prepares for her road test. I highly recommend Bell Auto Driving School.

Fantastic experience: My son was taking driving lessons with his instructor Vlad with Bell AUto School .Vlad was amazing in every way , he was on time for pickups, very patient, went over and beyond . Cristian felt so comfortable with every lesson with him and enjoyed it very much. Vlad also took him to his drivers test and texted us after to let us know how he did. I can not say enough about our experience with the school and mostly in regards to the instructor Vlad. If you call I would request him , you will not be disappointed. And my son did PASS Lora

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience learning to drive with Bell Auto Driving School. I took lessons with Dennis and my final lesson before my road test with Stephen. Both were amazing instructors and made me feel much more confident behind the wheel. Stephen was a great to have before the road test, because he gave me very useful tips for the parallel park and perfected my 3 point turn. I highly recommend Dennis and Stephen at Bell Auto.

Fantastic experience: Stephen is a phenomenal instructor and I've had a perfect experience with Bell Auto. After failing the road test twice and awful experiences with different driving schools for years, my confidence in driving was crippled. Getting behind the wheel became a fear. Stephen is professional, patient and an excellent teacher. His instructing was precise, and easy to understand. Seeing his lessons improve my skills with turns, intersections, and parallel parking helped me better handle my fears on the road. In five lessons I went from being a complete nervous wreck to passing my third road test and getting my license. I highly recommend Bell Auto and Stephen as an instructor.

Fantastic experience: I took refresher driving lessons with Steve. He was very kind and accommodating; a great instructor! He gave great tips for parking, making smooth turns, and how to develop a better driving mindset. I feel 1000x more confident driving after the lessons. Definitely planning on taking the highway lessons as well.
