Thumbs Up Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I am so happy, I passed my road test today. FYI…. I had failed 3 times, went to three different driving schools had more than 20 classes yet I failed each time. I gave up on driving but 3 weeks ago after a year of not touching any steering wheel I enrolled at Thumbs up took three classes and I was told I was good for the test, But I insisted on an extra class, took the test today and I passed.. They identified my weakness and worked on it, The instructors are great teachers Don’t think about it, please enroll and thank me later. Thumbs up a big thank you to all your instructors and staff. Please keep up your pattern of teaching and commitment to your students
We are SO glad you did not give up, we are so proud of you! Thank you for choosing us to teach you We promise not to give up either!
Fantastic experience: I just started coming nov 26 after failing my first road test but after a few weeks I got my license with only 5 points deducted
Amazing job from an amazing student, thank you for choosing us to teach you!
Fantastic experience: I got my license on the first try! I was introduced to this driving school by my niece, and now I see why she raved about it. This is easily the best small business I’ve interacted with in a long time. They are extremely professional, straightforward, and respectful of both your time and money, they don’t waste or try to scam you. The main mode of communication is through texting, which is super convenient because you have a record of everything. From the start, you can choose the days and times that work best for you. They even send a reminder 24 hours before each lesson, which is a lifesaver for someone with a busy lifestyle like mine. The staff is warm and welcoming; they know you by name and make you feel comfortable. No question is too silly, and they’ll patiently answer the same question until you fully understand. You may have more than one instructor, each with their unique teaching style, but they all focus on the same goal. My first lesson was with Alberto, and I could tell right away that he’s a natural teacher. If you want to learn how to handle the hustle and bustle of New York driving, he’s your guy. Jennifer’s techniques for parallel parking and three-point turns are game-changers. I can still hear Jose in my head guiding me on how much to turn the steering wheel to end up in the correct lane when turning. A big shout out to the lady at the front desk for keeping everything organized and for her exceptional customer service. She definitely keeps things together!
Thank you for seeing our vision and accepting our teachings. We appreciate you and we hope you come back for your Defensive Course to get a car insurance discount!
Fantastic experience: Amazing school with the BEST communication I’ve ever experienced at any driving school. After years of trying, they gave me the confidence and skills to finally pass my road test. 1000% recommend!
YOU are amazing and YOU did it! Thank you for choosing us to teach you!
Fantastic experience: I spontaneously decided to get driving lessons, and I was recommended to Thumbs Up by a very good friend. I admit I was very nervous, but as the lessons progressed I became more confident through the encouragement of each instructor that I had. I took my road test 4 days ago and Passed!! I appreciate all the instructors I had, especially Jennifer and I recommend this school to anyone, they are patient and very encouraging! Love, Doris A ❤️
You are amazing thank you so much for choosing us to teach you!
Fantastic experience: My experience at Thumbs Up Driving School was a excellent one. After going to five other Driving Schools and learned almost nothing. The staff welcome, their manners and excellent approach help me to be so confident and very comfortable. Jennifer, Ozea, Alberto and others, a big thanks to you and I will be back soon to do Highway lessons. You are highly recommended for your good work
We are so thankful we could be of service and teach you! Enjoy your license this Holiday season
Fantastic experience: Infact the driving lessons was like a cheat code to my road test, I took it serious and learn everything they taught me before my road test, and I pass easy on my first road test. Big Thumbs Up to Thumbs Up Driving School.
We are so glad we were able to help you and provide what you needed so you can pass your test. Enjoy your license and thank you for choosing my family to teach you!
Negative experience: I hated this school. Unprofessional and fake. I learnt nothing and spent so much money. They give you whatever they feel like giving you and they don’t work with you to accommodate the time. Worst experience ever
We are so glad you received your refund for your services, we would like to emphasize to future students that we are a school that relies on student communication for a successful & smooth license experience. If you don't understand the process nor communicate when we need to finalize your schedule, you will get left behind and lessons will fill up because we are in fact, a busy and popular school. Unfortunately, we do not have the time to accommodate everyone, but when the student and office are able to communicate seamlessly to figure out a plan, the licensing process goes so smoothly that our 500+ 5⭐️ reviews from students since our two years of opening have received a positive and successful licensing experience with the DMV through our services. Keep in mind that the student contract is available on our website to review, our transparency is not a surprise. Thank you to anyone who took the time to read this and understand how important it is to read contracts and be able to efficiently communicate your schedule needs. We are willing to accommodate your schedule but you have to understand you are not our only student scheduled, we cannot give you a class when you feel like it, we work by appointments. This is a lifelong investment into your future and to driving safe so you need to take it seriously and ask questions if you don't understand, our goal is to make this simple for you. If our process is not for you, then that is OK and you can find another school that is willing to accommodate on your time. Thank you for trying us out, we wish you the best of luck in your driving, stay safe!
Fantastic experience: Where should I even begin. From registration, the driving lessons and finally getting my license. I took my driving lesson with another school which I paid for more classes but they never taught me the way you guys did. I passed my road test on the second time, the first time with Thumbs up and thanks to this amazing school and the professional drivers they have. Thank you to all the instructors, you guys are the best. Yes I mean it. Jennifer, with her hi five and the confidence she had for me even when I was doubting myself and to all the instructors who insisted that I will pass when all hope was lost. To the Dad who showed me last minute technique, I don't take this for granted. Once again thank you and I will definitely recommend this school.
Thank you so much for appreciating the time we take to really put effort into the way that we teach. I am honored that you chose my family! Drive safe always
Fantastic experience: I usually don’t write reviews but I have to for this one. For the 3 months ish that I have used their service, I have been treated with patience, kindness and warm support. Albert and Jose are perhaps two of the kindest, greatest driving coaches in the world. They never made me feel stressed. When they sit next to you , you feel safe, secure and supported. They encourage you and handle the mistakes you make with calmness and support. I really hope that this family business can keep thriving and serve the community with its professionalism. Thank you, team!
I am so glad you found a driving school that taught you all of the skills that you needed to drive safely and get your license! Thank you so much for choosing my family.
Fantastic experience: My mom Valbona took classes with their amazing drivers. We went there 5 minutes before our scheduled time. All our classes started on time, the instructors were professional, respectful and they gave us feedback at the end. My mom doesn’t speak very well english, but that wasn’t a problem at all for them. All of them were so helpful and willing to go out of their way translating and explaining to my mom in a way she could understand. She took the road test right after her classes and she passed FIRST TRY I recommend Thumbs Up Driving School to everyone!!!!!
It is an amazing feeling when we get to take care of a family. Thank you so much for choosing us and we appreciate you both!
Fantastic experience: Great service very helpful and respectful and recommend them to all my family and friends!!
Thank you so much!
Fantastic experience: All in all, a great school. The instructors are knowledgeable, personable and offer insightful criticism where it's needed while simultaneously being encouraging. The front desk was very helpful and friendly, also having snappy response times to messages/calls, as well as being impressively organized. I would very much recommend this to a friend to take classes at this school.
Thank you so much and we appreciate your business! We are grateful that you chose us to teach you!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving school! The instructors were patient, professional, and made me feel confident behind the wheel. Scheduling was easy, and they worked around my availability. Thanks to their guidance, I passed my driving test on the first try! Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Very grateful I chose this school. The front desk was so helpful with class and road test appointments. They also responded very quickly to changes in the schedule. The instructors were great, in particular Nico for teaching me the basics, Alberto for taking it above and beyond to make sure the road test was as easy as possible, and Jose for driving me to the road test and giving me tips. They made me confident in passing the test. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: I was never fond of driving but I just wanted to get this out of the way and have a license for emergency. I’m glad I found thumbs up near my home and once I enrolled - the staff, instructor and even the owners were amazing. Friendly and thoughtful. Alberto was strict but really showed me how to drive without any judgement. If you are thinking to give it a try, do not hesitate and go for them because they really do care. Also, to add in there’s a difference between learning from your spouse/parents/friends vs instructor and from my experience I will always choose the latter. Thank you!
Yes learning from family/friends is hard especially when you don't want to ruin their car or get hurt. Thank you for letting us teach you and we appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: The instructors were really understanding and took their time to make sure I had everything mastered. I passed the test on my second try with no zero points deduction all thanks to them

Fantastic experience: When I first started searching for driving schools, I searched up “Best driving schools in The Bronx” on Google & The first school that appeared was this one. Google didn’t lie. The first time I walked into the school, I was greeted by the employees at the front desk. After a brief conversation I decided to purchase a lesson package. I have never driven a vehicle before so it took me a while to figure things out. However, the driving instructors at this location are aware of the growing pains that new drivers typically face & they’ll be patient with you. I’ve had lessons with all of the instructors & they are all great. I don’t want to mention names because everyone deserves their flowers & I don’t want to leave anyone out. Yesterday I passed my road test on my first try & I still can’t believe it. Thumbs Up Driving School gets a “Thumbs Up” & five stars from me.
Thank you so much for being an amazing student. We appreciate you choosing us to teach you and enjoy that well deserved license!
Fantastic experience: This place is amazing. 10 years ago I tried a different school but never got to the test because i didn't feel confident I could do it. But with thumps up I was able to do it in less than a month. They have incredible teachers that make it simple for you to follow the instructions and have the confidence to do them . If I got my license anyone can
You’re damn right you got your license! We loved having you thank you for choosing my family, drive safe always!!
Fantastic experience: Thumbs up driving school takes the opportunity to teach you about the cars mechanics and teaches you how to drive safely .
Thank you and we’re so proud of you!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this small business to anyone that wants to get their driving license. Few pointers from me : Show up on time , be respectful, be open minded to learn, take more classes if you know you are a beginner to driving ( the more practice the better driver you will become - invest in yourself ) , remember what you been taught and you will surely pass the road test along side with your pre- licensing course which is mandatory to have . I passed my test on the first try and I can’t wait to do my high way driving classes with them when I retrieve my drivers license in the mail . The customer service is so welcoming all across the board from the front desk help to instructors they do go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and comfortable where communication and environment are concerned . Thank you all : the front desk staffs ( Albert’s sister - you are awesome girly !) , pops , Albert , Jennifer , and Wilson for helping me to reach another mile stone as this one . Your act of services are well appreciated with me . See you all soon . - Monique .
It was an honor to teach you Monique, we can’t wait to see you soon!
Fantastic experience: as someone who was absolutely terrified of driving due to bad anxiety, i can confidently say i can finally drive (good and safely)! i bought the 5 class package with an additional separate class and a mock exam the day before my exam, these people seriously teach you everything you need to know with such patience and kindness and they teach you well!! parking was great with the way they teach you! and the reassurance they give that you’ll do great is amazing. shoutout to jennifer for teaching me the basics, jose for teaching me how to park and 3 point turn (and in my first language which made me feel more comfortable!), and biggest shoutout to alberto for combing everything so well! i would definitely reccomend alberto as he made me feel more collected when driving as i was nervous with our convos! this driving school is truly amazing and i really thank you guys so much for my new license! i passed today 5/17/24 :) will never forget you guys!
Thank you so much for letting us teach you it was an honor, we’ll see you soon for highway lessons!
Fantastic experience: I want to say a big thank you to everyone at Thumbs up driving school for believing in me. I went and did my driving test yesterday and passed with only one mark down the second time around. The first time I did the test I failed because I lacked confidence. The instructors all teach the same thing just in a different way. Albert is very direct but that is needed especially when driving in New York City. Jennifer is very kind and reassuring. Wilson is very professional, and he makes learning so comfortable and easy. The dad I enjoy his expert knowledge and input on my final lesson before the road test. He went above and beyond to recap everything with me. The front desk staff are all amazing. I did not have one single bad experience attending this school. If you are looking for a driving school to attend do not hesitate in choosing Thumbs up driving school. Thumbs up driving school make dreams come through. Kind regards Ann-Marie
We appreciate you!! Thank you for choosing us to teach you, it was an honor! See you soon for a highway lesson when you're ready
Fantastic experience: Amazing!!! I love the diversity in experience of the driving instructors! Each one offered a new and perceptive experience! From the first day of practicing? They spoke my success into existence by reminding me that I will PASS! Their support gave me the confidence I needed on the road and because of that? I PASSED MY DRIVERS EXAM thank you thank you!!!
We are SO proud of you!! Thank you for choosing my family to teach you, I appreciate you!
Fantastic experience: I had a fantastic experience with Thumbs Up Driving School. The instructors were incredibly patient and attentive, which made me feel confident behind the wheel.

Fantastic experience: This is 100% the best driving school in the Bronx. After having a bad experience with another driving school and looking into every driving school in the bx I stumbled upon this one that had 5 stars. I thought it was too good to be true and decided to give it a chance anyway. Everyone in this place is amazing from the front staff to all the driving instructors! I took my road test today and passed, I love that the instructors keep it real because they want their students to pass and they are so flexible with the scheduling. They treat everyone like family and are patient. During my first lesson I was so nervous but my instructor explained everything to me and calmed my nerves. Special shout out to Jeffrey! He’s the best
Loraine, you are amazing and you made it easy! THANK YOU!!

Shyanne, you made it EASY! Thank you for being great, it was an honor to guide you
Fantastic experience: I honestly thought these reviews were fake it seemed too good to be true but I tried it out and my experience was amazing ! Albert & Jeffery were super helpful & encouraging with when I first started my lessons up until my test date I learned everything pretty quickly and they helped to actually explain the steps of everything & how to achieve them even when I wasn't too sure about something . Also to add Yari took me to my road test & she was great she didn't make it awkward with being in the car for a little while waiting my turn for the test , she made me feel comfortable & I ended up not being nervous . Ending up passing with just a few points but thats okay ! 10/10 experience. I will be back for my defensive driving & maybe even for highway lessons . Don't even bother going anywhere else if you're looking to pass your test , THIS IS THE PLACE .

You are amazing, thank you for trusting this family to help you get your license, YOU DID IT!
Fantastic experience: My experience with thumbs up driving school was the best. Big shout out to Jeffery and Albert. Both of them did a great job ensuring they instilled the knowledge in me to know the rules of the road and be brave with decision making. Everyone from the front desk was super helpful. I can't thank this team enough!! I'm forever grateful !!I got my license!!! Y'all if you're still thinking about coming to the school, do not hesitate. Just start already !
You are amazing, thank you so much for letting us teach you!!
Fantastic experience: Great family of beautiful faces! This small, family-business driving school helped me to reach my end of the year goal of becoming a licensed driver in the state of New York. Alberto was my primary instructor and he did his thing! During my road test the examiner complimented my efforts as well as the drivings schools.

YOU DID THAT! You're amazing, it was an honor to teach you and be apart of your journey
Fantastic experience: Passed my road test within a month!! I highly recommend this family business, everyone is so sweet and genuine. Alberto was an excellent instructor.
You're awesome and it was amazing to teach you, thank you for letting us help you
Positive experience: This driving school is owned by a very friendly and kind hearted family. They are very nice and helpful. But the reason why I am giving them 3 stars is because I felt like the lessons were a bit rushed through. I did the 5 course lesson. While my instructor was very kind, I felt as if he wasn’t being thorough and attentive enough. It was as if he was just letting me drive, go with the flow of things, and not really reminding me to do the small simple things that actually really matter, like looking over my shoulders more or simply just making sure I am looking across all windows/mirrors while I park etc... There were times where he would be scrolling on his phone or picking up a call. I feel as if the lessons should of been way more thoroughly explained and better well prepared for when the driver is taking the exam. I also wish he had taught me how to park during the day. He taught me how to park at night and honestly he didn’t really tell me any tips and tricks on how to make sure I wasn’t too close or far away from the curb. It was already bad enough I couldn’t really see what I was doing that much as it was very dark outside (and I wear glasses lol). I am grateful for Jeffrey though who got to teach me a bit more how to park the morning of my drivers test, as I had my last 45min lesson right before my exam. I honestly wish Jeffrey would of been my instructor from the beginning. Sadly, I did fail my drivers test today. I do appreciate how flexible they are with their hours and availability, but I will keep searching for another school and will definitely be retaking the exam soon! Nevertheless, thank you!
Thank you so much for your honestly Juliann, I appreciate the time you took to let me know where we can improve and I apologize for your experience, we will do better. So to those reading: 1. Students do have the option to push the DMV road test and add lessons if you're not confident yet. We provide the space to voice your driving lesson concerns, always. We are always open to switch instructors based on learning and student requests, we schedule based on your availability please note DMV requires at least of 15 hours after sunset practice. Keep your vision limitations in mind! 2. Ask to see your student report card & use our learning materials online! Progress on paper feels good to see, showing you your progress helps you control your nerves during the test. Remembering to overcome those hesitant fears that result in DMV point reduction by reminding yourself how far you've come. It's very easy to let the examiner make you nervous, it takes practice to control it and try again. It's okay to not pass something on the first try, don't aim for perfection! And thank you again Juliann, because without your honest experience I (we) would not learn to be better and provide the best service we can.
Fantastic experience: I can’t thank this school enough. I’ve been contemplating for a while about getting my license and considering that I live in New York I didn’t think I’ll ever do it.When I tell you they held my hand every step of the way through it all from the big things to the little ones. I’ve never felt so comfortable and safe with stepping out my comfort zone. Also to top it off I passed on my first try with only 5 points taken it off.. If your looking for a school well this is your sign to sign up. Happy driving oh and one more thing my favorite color is blue so that helped in my decision as well.
We are SO GLAD you trusted us to teach you! We are so proud of you. Blue is our favorite too!
Fantastic experience: They have very good instructors, and they are very patient. They explain everything in details. I will recommend people
Thank you for trusting my family to teach you. We would do it all over again just to see you pass! You did it!
Fantastic experience: Listen stop the search and just come in to the school and learn. Hands down this is the best driving school in the Bronx. All of the instructors are A1. On top of that you will feel like your learning with family. Take it from me I was super nervous and anxious but guess what I passed my first time taking the test. Thumbs Up Driving School is the best.
Stoppp you are awesome! You made it easy and we hope to see you soon and eventually teach your family! Thank you for trusting us

Fantastic experience: Thumbs Up I will tell anyone who wants to learn how to drive to come to “Thumbs up.” I had three incredible instructors Jose, Albert and Jeffery. I had Jeffery most of my classes and he made me get over my fear of driving. Each one of the instructors talked and explained to me things to look out for, what not to do and what to expect. Everyone made me feel like family and I appreciated the warm love I received from “Thumbs Up Driving School” Family. Thank you so much Jeffery. We did it!!!
Yes you did!! Thank you for choosing my family to teach you and we are so proud of you!
Fantastic experience: I cannot express how grateful I am to Thumbs Up Driving School for their incredible support and expertise. I started with zero driving experience, and in just five days, spread over ten lessons, I not only learned to drive but also passed my road test on the first attempt. The instructors at Thumbs Up were exceptionally helpful, caring, and patient throughout the entire process. I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience. Thumbs Up to Thumbs Up Driving School for making my journey to becoming a licensed driver smooth and successful!"

Fantastic experience: I was so nervous to go out and take my driving test. But this team (family) were so amazing.

They were so amazing and patient with me. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking to get their license. Excellent service.

Fantastic experience: The best driving school period!!! As someone who has spent hundreds on lessons from two previous driving schools, I can assure you there is no better driving school in New York and definitely in the Bronx. The instructors guide you based off your struggles, they keep track of your progress, and treat every lesson seriously while making sure you are understanding. I’m happy to say that I passed and I would not be able to with out their help.
You made it easy!! Thank you for trusting us to teach you, it was an honor and we can't wait to see you driving!
