Fantastic experience: I PASSED MY ROAD TEST!!! Ronny is a legend to have the opportunity to get him to teach me. He's the best driving instructor here in Albany. I'm 40 years old and on the contrary of people who may have age discriminations of needing to start young, I believe it's never too late; Anyone can do it! But you need a wise and excellent driving instructor: look no further. And furthermore, Driving is an important skill to have; in my opinion; it's a must and a necessity - like swimming too or making a fire from scratch in a forest. I promise you if you take Ronny's lessons, they are the best! I got my 5 hour certificate with him and took lessons and the road test- I recommend him and his school!

Fantastic experience: thanks to Ronny, i finally passed my road test on the third time! i highly recommend this driving school for anyone looking for a straight to the point teaching style and trying to regain confidence in their driving.

Latoya Taitt 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: After taking 6 lessons with another local driving school where my daughter was told she was a good driver, but she failed the road test twice! My daughter was very eager to drive and before despair set in, we turned to Albany Driving School for help. We trusted Ronny to help our daughter build her confidence and skill to pass the road test. After just 3 lessons, our daughter was ready and passed! His style is direct and to the point and was just what our daughter needed. I highly recommend Albany Driving School to everyone and anyone! They know how to get you in the driver’s seat.

Fantastic experience: Ronny was a great teacher that really focused on my flaws. His teaching methods, although strict, give excellent results. Due to him, I was able to get my license and I want to thank him for that.

Fantastic experience: Simply said this is the only driving school you should go to!! Ronny is experienced and cares. I know he yells, tells you things like, "WHAT ARE U DOING?! ARE U CRAZY?!!!." But TRUST ME, as a first time driver you need someone with that attitude to sometimes Snap the anxiety of out of you. I'm a nervous person specially when a test comes. This was my second time taking the test and I knew from the moment I sat with the DMV examiner , I was going to pass because that anxiety went out of the window. I was never able to practice with a family member bc they live in other states and I was freaking out. Do not waste your money and time like I did going to another driving school. I took lessons in to Learn to drive school and FAILED because the instructor was always on his phone, said everything I did was perfect. He didn't care!!! Took me to the wrong test location. First took me to Broadway and then said it was in Troy. We got to Troy late and I was already nervous and anxious for waiting almost an hr for the DMV examiner who of course said I was late. But it in end he ended up testing me and of course I FAILED.! Compare to what he thought me before I did every thing wrong. The instructor here was the exact opposite. From my first lesson it was evident he was extremely excellent at his craft. I have my license thanks to his excellent lessons. Do yourself a favor and call to arrange for lessons that will lead you to your license. Thank you Ronnie!!!

Fantastic experience: Ronny was the best possible person to teach me how to drive in the US. For context, I've been driving abroad for almost seven years now but even then, in every lesson with Ronny I felt like I was learning new techniques to refine the skills that I already have. He strives to help you succeed and pushes you to be intentional about every action in the car. Couldn't recommend more!

Fantastic experience: I really want to thank Ronny for being so incredibly patient with me throughout my driving lessons. I have always been a nervous driver but Ronny reassured me with his teaching style. It truly helped boost my confidence behind the wheel. He meticulously taught me all the small but crucial details necessary for the driving test. Thanks to his guidance, I can now drive confidently knowing I have a solid foundation. Ronny is not just a great instructor he’s someone who genuinely cares about his students success and safety. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn how to drive with confidence

Fantastic experience: I failed my road tests twice, so this time after one year, I chose to learn and practice with Ronny. Thanks to him, I finally overcame my fear of driving and gained so much more confidence in less a week! Ronny is such a great instructor that he not only teaches the basic skills but also encourages his students at different levels. Highly recommended!!

Gideon Oyibo 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: If you're looking for a driving school, whatever age or experience level you are, this is the place for you. The 5 hour pre licensing course and driving lessons were great. My instructor was patient and at the same time strict which is what I needed to learn the right driving practices. Got my license after my first try taking the test. The procedure for parallel parking from my instructor was super easy. When he tells you it's nothing and you could learn it in 10 minutes. Believe him. Definitely the place I would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Ronny is an incredibly patient instructor who explains things in great detail to ensure I understand. He's also very professional in his teaching. Before my road test, he highlighted key points to watch out for, which was extremely helpful. Thanks to his guidance, I passed the road test on my first attempt.

Fantastic experience: Ronny is THE BEST driving instructor, and perfect for (re)building confidence as a driver. His expertise and patience is really well-balanced with his ability to move you past excuses. He's so great at what he does and he's the reason I feel so excited to continue driving now that I've passed the test. I absolutely recommend Ronny and his services!

Mike Strianese 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ronny is the absolute best. Our daughter failed her driver test the first time and I knew that I needed someone who really knew the rules to teach her. She loved him. He was patient and funny and after three lessons she passed with flying colors. Thank you Ronny!

Fantastic experience: I recently attended a driving school, and I can confidently say it was worth every penny. Mr. Ronnie, the instructor, is exceptional. He ensures that his instructions not only prepare you to pass the driving test but also equip you with the skills to be a safe driver for life. His approach is strict and thorough, which may seem tough at first, but it is incredibly effective in helping you remember the key points during your driving test.

Negative experience: I read a lot of the reviews on here and most of them talked about Ronny's blunt honesty, which I don't mind and felt like I needed to be prepared for the test. I work in a field that requires blunt honestly so I don't mind hearing harsh criticism. What I was expecting was someone who pulled me over and said "Look , you have a lot of work before the test" or "That was really bad" type of blunt honestly which I would be fine with. What I wasn't prepared for was how aggressive the instructor was. It was far from my first time in the car but I swear this guy made me feel like I'd never set foot in a car in my life. He was aggressive and kept his voice at a high, almost yell the entire time. His "blunt honesty" is mostly just calling you "crazy" or berating you for simple mistakes and asking you if you even know how to drive (which we don't if we're coming to you for instruction). He barely gave me a second to correct a mistake before his hands were on the wheel doing it for me or slamming on the breaking (even in low traffic areas where it really wasn't necessary to do). His hands were guiding the wheel more than I was. While I don't doubt his technique for things like parallel parking and 3 point turns are good, I wouldn't know because he just was so aggressive every time I made even a tiny little mistake that I just became afraid of messing up, messed up more and retained none of what was taught to me. Half of his instructions were in between berating me for tiny mistakes in a moving vehicle where I could process none of the information. There was just ZERO patience. I ended up going to a different driving school and having a much better experience where I learned way better and for cheaper (and ended up passing). If you're the type of person who feels like they need "a boot up their rear" so to speak to learn, then by all means choose this school; but if you struggle to learn under aggression, have any sort of anxiety or need patience, it's definitely not where you want to go. There are much more patient instructors that teach the same techniques.

Nabila Khan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It may be nearly impossible to find an instructor as patient as Ronny. He truly cares and his only objective is to help you pass your Driver's Test. If you follow his techniques for K-turns, parallel parking, left/right turns you should be able to master them. He is tough but he will make sure he helps you pass. Thanks for everything, Ronny!

Positive experience: The dude isn't a bad teacher. He just has a short temper, as if everyone should've known how to drive or at least know the roads. I was also shorted on my time just because I was a half hr drive. I get it, make your money but don't accept something if you're gonna short people on their time and complain about it. He did teach me a few things which I can't knock him for, but be prepared for an attitude and complaining if you mess up just a little bit. Ima do 3 stars because he does want you pass the test and he's going by the book.

Najel Bowen 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I took the 5-hour course with him in January, and took lessons with him everyday for a week (3/11-3/15). I haven’t been behind a wheel November 2022, but I was able to pass my road test on the first try 3/15! Understating what he’s telling you is key to your ability, it makes it so much easier and less stressful, most importantly he is quite understanding and patient with you in your learning. He can be a little strict but it’s only because he wants you to succeed and to be as safe as possible. Thank you Ronny!!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Albany Driving School for anyone looking to learn driving. Ronny is a knowledgeable instructor and has effective teaching methods, particularly for maneuvers like parallel parking and three-point turns, which are crucial for the driving test. His lessons on the test day were particularly helpful. Ronny is well-versed in what is required for the driving test and tailors his lessons accordingly. He asked me to first decide the test date. As the test approaches, he increased the number of lessons that was beneficial for me. Ronny was also very accommodating with my schedule, which is often busy due to my research work. He was flexible enough to arrange lessons early in the morning or during lunch hours, picking me up from my workplace. He always motivated me to trust in my skills and made sure the learning process was tailored to my needs, including choosing locations for practice and the road test based on my preferences. Ronny was straightforward with his feedback, letting me know when he felt I was ready for the test. For those who are new to driving or feel nervous about it, Ronny at Albany Driving School is an excellent choice. Best of luck with your driving test!"

Andrew Large 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ronny and Albany Driving School. My daughter took one lesson from him just to polish the skills she'd already learned. He helped her master parallel parking and gave some helpful tips. After the 90 minute lesson, he was honest and said she was all set. No push for more lessons. Very friendly and professional, picked her up and dropped her off.

Fantastic experience: Excellent service from start to finish. My daughter took her first lesson with Ronnie hoping to follow up with a few more. Ronnie was honest and evaluated her driving and said that she knew all the basics of driving. He said there was not much more that he could teach her and that she just needed to practice more before the test. She did that and on the day of the road test got a quick practice with Ronnie. She passed her test on the first attempt. Very professional service with reasonable pricing. My daughter was extremely pleased. Highly recommended.

Derek 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have to give a major shoutout to Ronnie for how great and knowledgeable he is as an instructor. I see a lot of comments about how strict he is but in order to be a good driver, that is needed. I’ve only taken 4 lessons from Ronnie, and passed my driving test today and was not even nervous because of what I’ve learned from him working on turns, 3-points, and parallel parking. The tips I’ve gotten for driving simplified the experience and I had a great learning experience. Thank you

Trust and believe he’s the best instructor and you are in good hands.

Michael Kollar 2 years ago

Negative experience: Really disappointed, all these ratings and reviews were very misleading. Guy was kinda rude on the phone, and we explained to him we have a young child and work so we really need to schedule a lesson with a window or a specific time, we were told no. Apparently the only way this works is you pay for your driving lesson and then he calls you when he has free time? Not sure what kind of business can’t do basic scheduling. I can’t let my job know to take the time off because he doesn’t have a specific time…how am I supposed to also get a babysitter if he won’t give me a window or a specific time, if you are an adult STAY AWAY.

Oneudy Ventura 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: This morning, I passed the road test on my first try, and it is all thanks to Ronny and the support he gave me throughout my learning experience as a new driver! The only time I had ever driven before my first lesson with Albany Driving School was in a parking lot for a few minutes, so my driving knowledge was quite limited. Thus, I was extremely nervous going into my first lesson. With each lesson I had with Ronny, though, I grew more and more confident in my driving abilities. That doesn’t go without saying there were moments of frustration. As other reviewers have mentioned, Ronny is strict in his instruction, but that’s because he wants you to pass on your first try. As a result of his assertiveness, I knew what mistakes I was making and how to correct them. It is better that I had someone like Ronny to tell me what I was doing wrong than to make those mistakes on my road test and lose points for them. That said, take lessons with Albany Driving School if you are seeking a school that provides flexibility in terms of scheduling and that will teach you how to pass the road test and drive safely. You’ll thank yourself for choosing Ronny the day you pass on your first try!

Fantastic experience: Ronny is the best driving instructor upstate, and it isn't even close. Don't waste your money on any other schools. I Have a Big family, and my brothers all went to other driving schools, and the horror stories I have heard and the complete negligence is shocking. So I did some research And found Albany driving school. Found them because they had so many positive reviews, while every other driving school's Reviews were horrifying, so I called them and started sessions with Ronny. I passed on my first time with a Near perfect score! Ronny cares about ensuring you pass, which reflects in the reviews. - Thanks, Ronny

I pass my driving license on 11/07/2022 on Monday from instructor Uncle Ronney after taking 3classes, it was great experience learning from him, and of course lots of yelling, but behind his yelling means to correct yourself n be a safe driver. In past I had bad experience from my last time instructor n I got 2times failure n that was my third attempt n I got my license. Uncle Ronney is a fantastic teacher, he is the best n 1st recommendation whoever is a new driver or had bad experience from past. You are the best uncle ji.

Thanks for your review and concern, but we have our address mentioned on multiple pages on our official website which is albanydrivingschool.com. Our business model is we come to you not the other way around. Your concern about the address and claiming we our fraud is wrong. Official link of DMV NY which has our driving school listed which also has the "address" mentioned. https://dmv.ny.gov/albany-driving-lessons-llc You left a negative review without actual using our services because you never confirmed us the driving lesson scheduled for you since you were waiting on your friend confirmation for the driving lesson. If you can not support small local business please do not try to sabotage us without using our services and not checking the website for address thoroughly. Feel free to contact us. Thank You.

Fantastic experience: Ronny is a great instructor! I came to him after having a few bad experiences with other instructors and he really helped me pass the road test. He built up my confidence and although I was nervous about my road test ( bc this was my third time taking it) I knew I had all the necessary skills to pass and I did!! I would highly recommend Ronny and this driving school. Just FYI he does yell BUT he means well and you will come to see that his strict requirements will make you vastly prepared for the road test and all the expectations of the road test examiners. He is an honest upstanding guy and reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Ronny Is a great driving instructor. Before I started taking lessons with him I didn't really have confidence in my driving. Over time he helped me gain confidence within myself and also helped me realize the mistakes I made during my lessons. He did his best to teach me the ropes and provided me with a few tips and tricks to perfect my driving. Thanks to him I took my road test and passed it with zero mistakes. I would recommend him as a driving instructor to anyone with little to no driving experience. Thank you Ronny once again for this opportunity to take lessons with you. Now I'm officially a New York State Licensed Driver.

Fantastic experience: I give Mr. Ronny my highest recommendation. Please do yourself a favor and take driving lessons with him, and even if he is fully booked keep pushing him to train you. I also highly recommend that you go with him to the road test! It is a great investment of your money, and I believe the examiners feel safe when they see him with you! I started with him from level zero and with practice and his great methods I passed my test the first trial without ANY mistake! I only heard compliments from the examiner! It wasn't easy, but he taught me well and made it a piece of cake! He pushed me when I needed to be pushed and gave me great encouragement. I couldn't have passed without him. شكرا جزيلا

Negative experience: While he has a lot of experience with teaching students of various capabilities, if you experience any difficulties with grasping any road techniques he will berate you for not understanding it the way he’s taught other people. And he will proceed to never respond to your messages to request another class. Extremely disappointed because he was rated so highly. Took a class with another learning school and immediately understood what I was doing because the instructor was Patient and willing to work in an area that was very quiet so I could practice.

Fantastic experience: I just passed my road test today. Ronny is a very strict instructor and I do appreciate his strictness and patience. He pointed out every single mistake I made. Sometimes, I get frustrated that why I always make mistakes. But I have to say, these frequent corrections and tips are very helpful. He also encourage me with a positive mind on the test. Overall, I had a great learning experience.

Fantastic experience: This is the best driving school in the district. Instructor can pick you up if you're in Albany. Ronny (the instructor) was really helpful, and has a good sense of humor. I didn't know anything about driving before, also I was kinda scared in the beginning. But now after those lessons, I am pretty confident about my driving. Not only I did pass my road test, but I also learned some valuable lessons about how to drive without getting trouble in real life.

Fantastic experience: Ronny is a professional, dedicated and a man of commitment! He helped me immensely in getting through my road test and made it look like a walk in the park! His stern method of instruction embedded the discipline of driving and accurate road sense in me while encouraging me about how I can be more aware of the traffic and road laws and abide by them. Amazing experience, a definite 5* instructor and an amazing human being, wish you all the best of luck Sir!

He also helped me gain confidence and makes you feel comfortable driving on the road which is a very important skill to have and learn. He was a really nice guy and easy to talk to if you have any questions. Thanks to him I passed the first time around. Highly recommend !

Negative experience: The instructor " Ronny Williams" is horrible in behaving. First i am not sure why he keep addressing me "Baby". He is not only rude, arrogant but also aggressive. His strategy is break the confidence and intimidate the one who dares to come for a lesson to an extent that they shall start thinking they know nothing until they end up paying for 4-5 lesson to this man. I noticed his anger against me especially when i tell him I am Indian. It was a waste of money my first lesson $60, he literally taught me nothing except " Observe how others drive when you are sitting to them". The way he treated me was horrible. I took medication and slept for hours to get over it.
