Drivetrain Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Amazing instruction and lessons focused on getting you that license while also teaching you how to drive. When I started I thought I was ready but would’ve ended up unaliving someone on the road… Now, I can drive comfortably and passed easily. Cannot recommend enough. Do you want your license? If yes, take drive train classes. Shout out to Aubrey. Great guy.
Fantastic experience: Amazing service. Drivetrain is very methodical and makes sure you get to your road test having mastered all aspects of the course!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend - Aubrey is a great instructor, very knowledgeable, gives clear explanations of traffic rules, driving maneuvers, etc. He's very patient and calm, helped put me at ease when I was feeling nervous during the first few lessons, and got me to a point where I now feel very confident behind the wheel and passed my road test on the first try.
Fantastic experience: I am so happy that I chose Drivetrain to prepare for my driver's test. Aubrey is an excellent instructor who is very patient and understanding. He identified the areas where I needed more practice and ensured that I sharpened my skills before scheduling my test. Throughout the process, he was honest and supportive, which helped me build my confidence as a driver. If you're looking to learn how to drive, I highly recommend Drivetrain!
Fantastic experience: Very good instruction. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience! Aubrey made me feel very comfortable while driving and gave constructive criticism without being harsh. Very friendly temperament and easy going. He was very patient with me throughout our lessons and possessed a vast amount of knowledge on the subject. I passed my road test thanks to him. He is the guy you want to take lessons with.
Fantastic experience: Before Drivetrain, I was a 22-year-old without a license. Drivetrain made it easy for me to improve my driving skills, correct my mistakes, and prepare to take the road test. They also provided a car, scheduled road tests, and set up DMV appointments, so all I had to worry about was my driving. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I passed!! Passed first time of the ‘actual’ test (long story but technically second time, first time I forgot my corrective lenses and could not take the test). Aubrey is super patient, knowledgeable, and a great teacher. He is always very helpful when I have questions. Not only did I passed, now i became confident in driving as well, can’t wait to rent a car and go on some weekend trips to upstate!!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a great teacher. He is patient and adapts the lessons based on areas of improvement. Highly recommend
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough about how smart Aubrey is. Believe it or not there is a talent to being a driving instructor and he has it. I have studied with them all. I have my license but haven't driven in years so I decided to take with some others and it's not that they weren't good, it's just that Aubrey makes me feel confident in sticky situations and he explains exactly what I did wrong, and what I did right. This is the person who will get you over the hump. He doesn't sugar coat things and will tell you when you need to leave the nest and when you need to work at it. You will be in good hands.
Fantastic experience: I needed help with getting my 5 hour class and taking the road test fast when everything was booked out. After calling drivetrain, within a day I had takin my 5 hour class and had a road test scheduled 4 days away. I was blown away by this service. A++
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a good teacher. He has a lot experience teaching people to pass the drive test
Fantastic experience: Went from a failed road test, then 7.5 hours with him, and ended up passing my road test! He has amazing advice and fascinating stories! Would 100% recommend!
Negative experience: This man Aubrey Nurise, is very unprofessional. I did my 5hr course, since December 6, 2023 and it's now January 23, 2024. I still havent gotten my certificate yet. I called him on January 10th 2024, he stated that something is wrong with his certificates and he's waiting on DMV. I call and text from my cellphone since Monday and no answer and it goes straight to voice-mail. I use my daughters cell phone and now it rings until it goes to voice-mail. I need my money back then so I can go else where, this is why I can't support other blk business, because they shady.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is an excellent and professional instructor. We signed our daughter up for the Complete Package. The pick-up and drop-off service worked really well with my daughter’s school schedule. The instructor is knowledgeable about safe-driving techniques, attentive while giving lessons and responsive when we had questions. Our daughter passed the roadtest on first attempt. DriveTrain delivered on their business promises. Thank you DriveTrain.

Fantastic experience: I was not the best driver before I met Aubrey at Drivetrain and he coached me with great energy and humor and I'm so thrilled to share that I passed my road test on first attempt. Thank you so much Aubrey!!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a great teacher! He is really patient and attentive. When we practiced, he identified what I am good at and my drawbacks, and explained the how and more importantly the "why" of vehicle maneuvers. I am a slow learner but we persevered and I finally got my license today!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is an excellent instructor. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was fantastic! I had never driven before and was super nervous about doing so in in the city. Not only was he a great teacher on the technical stuff required to pass the exam, but he was also very good at teaching the practical day to day aspects - and his calm, friendly demeanor really helped as well in getting me through from having never driven before to passing the driving test in NY.
Fantastic experience: The instructor is very good and supportive. Helped me pass the road test smoothly. Highly recommend him to anyone trying to get a driver license
Fantastic experience: 5 well deserved stars ! If you want a pain free process you just call Aubrey and he takes care of everything ! Aubrey is not only super professional but also one of the funniest person I have ever met ! If I passed the exam is just because of him.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was an amazing instructor! Passed my driving test on the 1st attempt. Driving lesson with him was always fun and relax. He will share some driving tips and insights. He will constantly remind me to drive safely. On the day of the driving test, he will give a quick walkthrough before arriving at the driving test location.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Aubrey. My daughter is now a confident licensed driver and really enjoyed Aubrey’s company while she learned to drive.
Fantastic experience: Just passed my road test today thanks to Drivatrain driving school. Thanks a lot for your support, Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was fantastic with my son. We are so happy to have hired his services.
Fantastic experience: Great experience and great instructor! Pass the road test for the first time !
Fantastic experience: Aubrey's lessons are the bee's knees. He gives you all the information and confidence you need to ace the test.
Fantastic experience: would definitely recommend they helped me pass my road test
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is the best driving instructor you can find in New York, he taught me everything I needed to know in order to pass my exam. Highly recommend Drivetrain Driving School.
Fantastic experience: I used the rental car service for the road test. Aubrey met me super early in the morning, picked me up from the subway, and and even without doing an actual lesson, he shared so many knowledgeable tips and insights with me. I really appreciate his generosity in preparing me in such a short time. Passed the first time around with his help!
Negative experience: I took the 5 hour course online and they never mailed me my paper and kept my $50. I don't recommend using them at all
Fantastic experience: Helped me get my License, Aubrey's a great instructor really walks you through everything you do wrong, and shows you how to improve. Great teacher school for someone like me who gets nervous behind the wheel.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is great. Glad I took his recommendation of taking an hour refresher before the test. He was there before me, super professional and knows how to help you get through the test in the first go! Highly recommend him. Especially to experienced drivers taking the test, the refresher is great!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Drivetrain Driving School. Aubrey is an amazing instructor, teaching everything you need to know for the road test and beyond!
Fantastic experience: The best trainer!! Honest, funny & synthesizes what you need to focus on quickly so you can practice that & make sure you pass the test!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience - will get you perfectly prepared for the road test - can 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Very clear and precise instruction to focus on passing the road test first, punctual, polite and a genuinely pleasant person to spend an hour or so with!
Fantastic experience: I had 15 years driving experience in europe but had to get my US licence. I did 3 hours driving with Aubrey and passed my exam in 1st try. He is great teacher patient and super cool guy. Would deff recommend this school
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was great. Funny, to-the-point, and helpful in his advice. His 5-hour class and driving lessons are informative and helped me pass my road test the first time. Thanks Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is the most detail-oriented driving instructor I have met in New York (and I say that after having met a few and failing the test more than once). After preping with him, I did not need more than one test.
Fantastic experience: I have been licensed for 30+ years in another state, and needed to take a NY road test. I'm glad that I picked Drivetrain to help out with a one-hour refresher class and road test, as NY driving is an entirely different beast than I had been accustomed to. Aubrey was able to help point out some bad habits of mine that surely would have caused a failure. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was great. I took an hour long driving session with him where he pointed out all the things I was doing wrong n showed me the right way. I cleared my driving test in the very first try Thnx Aubrey
Negative experience: The person picking up the phone at the office is rude and entitled. He also speaks in a tone that gives a menacing vibe that this place is not safe for women.
Fantastic experience: Best I have ever had .I did the test 3 times and failed from another school .Thanks to drivetrain driving school ,I have my Liscence now .
Fantastic experience: Best Driving school in town ! Aubrey did a great job training me and making me feel confident to get my road test ! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Good driving school that is cheaper than the others. I got very good tips before passing the test
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is the best instructor ! He will show you how to drive safely and practically. I passed the test thanks to him. I highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND COMING HERE! Long story here but I can attest that Aubrey knows his stuff! He really shows you how to drive and pass. I started back in March after my mom offered to give me driving lessons for Christmas and she gave me an ultimatum between Drivetrain and another school in Brooklyn. After reading the reviews I went with Drivetrain. The first day of driving I was mind blown at the fact that I was able to perform a broken U turn and parallel park. Because I have gotten a couple packages (with deals when they were offered) every two weeks for about a three months or so I would practice with Aubrey for about 1hr and 30 min to 2hrs going over maneuvers that were considered fails and the ones that were passing. All in all, he is very patient, polite, and really do personalize your driving lessons based on your experience/ what you need to work on. I requested he acted like the proctor and treat our lessons as if it was an exam because I'm extremely anxious and he did indicating if I would fail or pass and work on it if I messed up on something. Furthermore, he is very through and detail in his explanation. Through his explanations, I was not only learning techniques needed to pass the exam and carry through driving after passing (which I did today) but I was able to learn about the car especially when he explained the wheel turning in terms of revolutions. Also, he encourages you to tell the examiner if you have to do something out of the book (though my examiner at the test site I went to was very cold and basically told me to shut up, which I kind of sorta didn’t do for a very important reason-but that is a whole different review for the road test site). And above all, he is able to keep you calm and relax when it comes to driving and very conversational which is really helpful in helping you to remember to be calm during the exam. And even before the exam when I was breaking down crying-he was cracking jokes and keeping me calm helping me to soothe my nerves. All in all, I passed my exam today and I am already planning on taking lessons again in defensive driving at Drivetrain so I definitely recommend taking him if you are starting out and you need to pass your exam. Even though the prices are a bit high-it is worth the money and if you want to get your NYC driver's license, it is 100% recommended you go to Drivetrain! Forever grateful for this driving school for helping me get my license :) because I not only got it for me but I got it in honor of my late aunt.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a great instructor! The 5 hour class is made entertaining and interesting with stories and anecdotes to help student drivers remember the material. The driving lessons and tips for the road test are invaluable and Aubrey makes the lessons fun with great conversations! I would highly recommend DriveTrain Driving School to anyone looking to sign up!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Drivetrain Driving school was a simple and smooth time. My instructor, Aubrey guided me with experience, explanation, and really emphasized what makes a good driver. Through his instruction I transitioned from the 5-hour class, to lessons, to passing my driving test on the first try. Would recommend to others looking to learn how to drive and get their license.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a great instructor. Very helpful and patient. He gives all his attention to helping fix and improve your driving!! I passed on my 1st try and couldn't have done it without Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a really patient and experienced instructor. Knows very well exactly what to focus on for the road test. Highly recommended!
Positive experience: I paid for 5 classes at 350.00. Unfortunately I came down sick and had to go to the emergency room the day of my last 2 hour class. When I text to reschedule; the instructor charged me the entire two hours for same day cancellation! Most schools charge a 45.00-55.00 fee which is the average cost per lesson. Most excuse Emergencies/sickness especially during times of COVID. Drivetrain charges 70.00 per driving lesson. I could understand he charged for an hour for cancellation but two hours...140.00 for same day cancellation is REDICULOUS! ROBBERY! Though the car was dated and not very clean he is a patient and thorough instructor.
Fantastic experience: To the point, simple and friendly. Aubrey provides good instructions, and gives you what you need to pass the test. Swift communication, and quick appointments. Big thumbs up!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is THE BEST! I know this for sure because i tried other driving schools when he was all booked up as i didnt want to lose momentum, the other schools i tried many different teachers and really no one compared. No one in my family drives as we are all in NYC so at 32, I was SUPER nervous when i was first learning and Aubrey quickly helped me settle my nerves! he explains everything clearly, hes super calm and chill about it and he really worked with me and my crazy schedule. I highly recommend getting lessons at drivetrain and booking your test through them as well as using their car-- this way you area comfortable and familiar with everything when taking your test. I passed on my first try. added plus-- Aubrey is a super cool guy! Thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey will soon have taken our entire family (Brits living in Manhattan, 2 40+ and 2 teens) successfully through the NY driving test and I can't imagine anyone being a better teacher for us. Aubrey is highly experienced and informative, charismatic, patient, direct and supportive at the same time. I can't speak more highly of Drivetrain. Thanks Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: Exceptional service, honest and reliable, from beginning to end, this is the place you want for all your driving lesson, licence needs
Fantastic experience: Aubrey helped me from having no prior driving experience to passing the road test on my first try! He taught me everything I needed to know and was very patient and respectful. He goes above and beyond with his services such as picking you up and helping you schedule the road test and he taught me how to drive on highways which really helped my confidence. I had a lot of fun learning and driving with him and I highly recommend Drivetrain!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is an amazing driving instructor, very patient and gives you all the tricks to pass the road test! I’ve passed on the 1st test!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was a fantastic teacher. He patiently instructed me in driving best practice. He demystified the dreaded parallel parking. He helped me understand what is essential to demonstrate in the road test and what I didn’t need to obsess about. Even at the test site, as he jumped out of the car and handed me the keys, he whispered words of encouragement and last minute reminders. And I passed on the first try - hurray! If your reading this to determine if Drivetrain is the driving school for you - it is! Sign up and you won’t regret it!
Fantastic experience: Took the 5 hr zoom session and around 4.5 hrs of driving lessons from Aubrey. Aubrey is very patient and experienced instructor. I passed the driving test in my first attempt in Havenmyer DMV in Bronx.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was an awesome instructor! I just passed the road test:) This was my 2nd try, and my 1st try was with another driving school that was not effective... Aubrey taught me every trick for passing the test and helped scheduling my road test quickly on a very short notice. Highly recommend him
Fantastic experience: Great experience with Aubrey who prepared me and took me to my driving test that I passed with flying colors thanks to his great advice
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was very friendly and his advice and teaching was spot on. Was a pleasure to meet him and he helped me pass first time.
Negative experience: Wanted the car for passing my road test and have 1 hour lesson before the exam. We were supposed to meet at 7:30 AM for being in the test location at 8:30 and have the exam at 9:00. He texted me that he would be 15 mins late, but at 8:15 he still wasn't there. More than 45 mins delay in a pick up location chosen by him. I had to reschedule my road test. At least he was fast with the refund.
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience with Drivetrain Driving school. I highly recommend Aubrey he is very nice, professional and polite. He is super patient. You can tell that he like his job. I took 1,5 hour driving classe today with him before my road test and I pass.
Fantastic experience: Punctual, professional, and polite. Aubrey was great and showed me tips that I would have failed the road test without. A+
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was very collegiate, easy to get along. He showed me the ins and outs of the road test real well, and I’ll highly recommend him
Fantastic experience: After failing the test for three times, I finally decided to change an instructor and found Aubrey, who is a life-saver to say the least. He taught me the basic of how a car actually works and actually explained to me why I shoudn't do some of the things that I've been doing all along. While Aubrey is a cautious and very responsible driving, he is nevertheless willing to take me on the highway to practice during my early stage of the driving course, something that none of my other driving even thought about doing. In fact, I know a lot of people having to drive on the highway for the first time after they get the license. Most importantly, Aubrey is great and super easy to get along with.. I am still not tired of him after stucking in a car for more than 20 hours together. Gaining a license has granted me real liberations and freed myself to travel from the galaxy to New Jersey. but now I am gonna drive to greg house first...so thank you Aubrey
Fantastic experience: This is a great place to prepare one for getting a driver’s license. I highly recomend Aubrey, he is a great instructor, calm and with years of experience. I ended up passing my road test on the first try because of him and his wonderful lesson. Thank you Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: This was my first time driving and Aubrey taught me everything I needed to know, in a way that was easy to understand and really boosted my confidence. Thanks to his instruction, I was able to pass the road-test. Learning here has been a great experience - I would highly recommend!
Negative experience: It seems like a scam once signed up. Never getting proper communication when I did get a response it was days later. Last response I got was night before 5 hour online course and was told I was getting link sent to me shortly. Next day still nothing. I am an hour from my daughters course and still nothing . Very unprofessional !!! and I am trying to deal with this while I am at work.
Fantastic experience: The process with drive train was simple and very thorough. Aubrey was great at identifying all the things that they focused on during the road test so it was an easy pass first time.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school! Aubrey is the best, I worked with him for under a month and he was able to get me to a high enough driving level to pass the road test.
Fantastic experience: Awesome instructor! I booked a refresher class before the road test and it was amazingly helpful. I was super nervous and Aubrey helped me go into my road test with confidence.
Fantastic experience: The instructor was very friendly and gave me lots of helpful tips. He corrected my turning at intersections and taught me how to turn my wheels more smoothly. He also taught me more than what’s required for the road test, like how to watch out for dangerous drivers and practical tips for different driving situations. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: May 24th I emailed and heard back from Aubrey straight away. May 25th I did their online zoom 5hr class which was convenient and informative and didn't drag like I thought it might. June 7th..today..passed my test at first time after having had a few lessons with Aubrey in the meantime. 5* for every part of my experience.

Fantastic experience: Great school! Before taking classes here I had no prior driving experience. I practiced with Aubrey 2 hours a week for 8 weeks, and I passed my test on the first try!
Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with this school. I took the 5 hour class with yakop and he taught very clearly. I hadn’t driven in 15 years and was in need of extra driving classes. Aubrey is amazing and makes sure that you will be ready for your road test as well as for driving in real life.
Fantastic experience: Went with Aubrey for a 1 hour driving lesson and the test straight after. Passed with a perfect score! Don’t think I would have without Aubrey - he was very informative and patient, going thru all the manoeuvres step-by-step. I was an experienced driver from the UK and developed a lot of bad habits through the years. Aubrey did a great job in teaching me the correct way of doing things stateside. Would 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Both Aubrey and Yakup were amazing. They give the right tips to make sure you pass the test the first time.
Fantastic experience: It was a great experience, the teachers were really good. I passed the test.
Fantastic experience: Aubrey is a really great instructor. He gave me a training before I went on the test which was the only training I had and I passed the test. Good service and reasonable price. I would definitely recommend him to my friends.
Fantastic experience: Great place to drive. Had my license before in VA and GA but thought I wouldn’t need it in NYC so let it expire. Then an emergency came up and I had to be prepared to drive when I went home to visit family. Was so nervous but they got me into a 5hr class with Yakub the day I got my permit on a Friday and the next Friday had one lesson with Aubrey to get used to the car and got tips for the road test and passed. 7 days from permit to licensing all thanks to this place. Highly recommended. It was so painless. Thanks Yakub and Aubrey!
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was my instructor, very professional and I passed the test easy. Recommended.
Fantastic experience: If you need to get your driver's license, DriveThru is def the way to go. I not only did their 5 hour course, but also had them provide their car as well for the road test. This was great as Aubrey gives you invaluable tips which you will need to pass. My money was well spent.
Fantastic experience: If you're looking around for a driving school, stop looking! Aubrey is the greatest. I took the 5-hour class with Drivetrain, then a 90 minute lesson right before I took the road test. Aubrey helped me understand exactly how to be successful on the test and I passed with flying colors. He's also so funny and friendly and made the whole process actually enjoyable! Exceeded all expectations!
Fantastic experience: I went to 2 other driving schools and took the test and failed. I went to this new drivetrain school and the teacher made any errors of mine really easy to fix in clear easy to understand steps. The teacher is laid back and very easy to understand. I passed the test this time with only a few lessons! Great $ spent!! I now have a license! :)
Fantastic experience: Aubrey was great and helped me to successfully pass my driving test! Yay!
Fantastic experience: Great experience as I passed on my first try. Very convenient location in Manhattan and helpful teacher that gives information on the key mistakes to avoid!
