Fantastic experience: I recently completed my 12-lesson driving package (which included the 5-hour class and transportation to the road test) with Defensive Driving School and from start to finish, my experience was beyond positive. My instructor, Mitch, was incredibly professional and knowledgeable. He tailored each lesson to my specific needs and comfort level, which made a huge difference in my confidence and skill development. The vehicle I used for instruction and the road test was well-maintained and equipped with the latest safety features. The scheduling process was flexible and convenient. It took me about two months to complete my package which I had planned out in advance. This was critical since May to August is their busiest season. Overall, what truly stood out was the supportive and encouraging attitude of my instructor. He not only taught me how to drive and gave me the tools to pass my road test but also gave me invaluable tips and tricks that have made me a more aware and confident driver.

Fantastic experience: Defiantly a top driving school in long island! There were so many options for packages and the service is top tier. The instructors are amazingly trained, not only for preparing you for your road test but reading your body language, making sure you stay calm and feel in control while behind the wheel. I did my 5 hour licensing certificate, multiple lessons, insurance + point reduction class, and road test with the following company. My instructor was MITCH which supplied the absolute best experience I could ask for. Mitch was an amazing motivator and so efficient with time. I was able to learn everything I need to know about driving with him in a short amount of time and the rest was needed practice. He's taught me so many lessons about situational awareness, safety, and vehicle control. I cannot thank this company and my instructor enough for helping me receive my license this summer!!

Fantastic experience: Had Dan as my 5 hour course teacher. The class was very long but Dan made the class more enjoyable and bearable. I’d recommend.

He gives you freedom, let you do mistakes without yelling at you but explain what you could do to correct. Learning with Frank is a great experience.
