Ideal Driving School,Inc: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with my instructor, she was very nice and patient with me and I never got nervous to drive with her. She was very supportive and descriptive with her way of teaching. The service at the front desk was also amazing. All staff are very nice and welcoming and informative. She also was very helpful right before i took my road test and with her support i past so thank you!! :)
Fantastic experience: Los recomiendo tanto en la oficina cm doña Yadira que m dio mis clases ....pase mi examen con ellos son muy profesionales
Negative experience: This company is someone to stay away from. I was in traffic on Rte 3 west bound in February 2023. One of their student drivers along with a driving instructor rolled back into my car causing over $4000 in damage. As I pulled in front of them to tell them to pull over to the shoulder they kept on driving on Rte 3 west. I immediately called the Police but the dept told me they were extremely busy and since no one was hurt to make a accident report online. I notified the office Manager Alicia and told them what happened. The instructor and student driver told her they were at that location and did not understand what I was saying because they spoke Spanish. I notified my insurance carrier which took over this hit an run accident. After over 9 months Alicia claimed that the damage done to my vehicle could not have happened by their back truck bumper which is totally false. They refused to provide my insurance carrier with their insurance carrier. I am now out $500 for my deductible and 7 days of a rental car. This company could have did the right thing and settled the claim but they refused to do the right thing and dragged this out for 9 months claiming they were not at fault. Stay away from this company as they seem not to care about the regular people and think they can deny wrong doing. Louis DeStefano
Negative experience: DON’T RECOMMEND FOR YOUR CHILDREN/TEENAGER KIDS Driving place helped my younger sibling drive. However it did lack guidance (driver instructor would take the wheel or break for the majority of practice) and communication (driver instructor would call VERY LAST MINUTE when outside, only ONCE called 15 minutes in advance. This made my sibling stress out and felt like they learned nothing from the service. And when the day of the test comes, after two months of no communication, driver instructor called they were outside for early test they had no idea about. If they called at least 30-15 minutes it would’ve helped, or even a day in advance to let my sibling get a heads up how the day of the test will be. However, the place doesn’t prioritize the people who’s giving them money. And it didn’t made it better when my sibling had to cancel. The driving school called and made the situation 1000000x worse. Horrible anger issues, horrible attitude. Super unprofessional. Lack any empathy or to help with the situation and just said over and over again to pay 70 dollars more to keep the spot. The place showed its true colors. Regret recommending my sibling coming here because last year it went well for me. This place relies heavily on recommendations, so I really do suggest not coming here and finding another place for your son/daughter.

Fantastic experience: Ydira is the nicest teacher, she taught me amazing tips right before my test that I definitely needed thanks to her I passed! :)
Fantastic experience: My experience with Ideal Driving school was rewarding. All the personnel were friendly and the course was explained to me in great detail. The office team at the Clifton location prepared me well for my CDL school bus license written exam, along with the road training staff at Moonachie that gave me thorough training & coaching. Once we arrived to my motor vehicle road test at Wayne DMV, I entered with confidence and passed on the first try. Thank you Ideal team!
Fantastic experience: Good customer service. Excellent attention and trained professional. I recommend it.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to this location by a friend. They told me their service was great & they were right! The experience was amazing absolutely phenomenal & a gentleman by the name of Jaime topped it off with his great help and assistance . Will tell all of my friends and family about this location and Jaime! Thank you so much IDEAL DRIVING SCHOOL.
Fantastic experience: Great driving school!!! I highly recommend Ideal Driving School… the staff are very helpful and professional. My appreciation to all of them in particular to the school manager, Jaime, who helped tremendously obtaining my CDL. THANK YOU!!!
Negative experience: Le daría 10 estrellas a Yadira q fue la persona q le dio las clases a mi hijo, muy linda persona , pero desafortunadamente el hombre q atiende el teléfono en la oficina de Clifton no merece ni media estrella, es grosero, no tiene paciencia con el cliente , atiende muy mal el teléfono, cuando le dije q era muy maleducado para atender el cliente me gritó, me insultó , y veo muchos comentarios negativos de su trato, el Sr necesita capacitación para tratar el cliente y terapia para manejo de ira . Lamentablemente por el NUNCA RECOMENDARÍA la escuela .
Negative experience: Learned everything on my own, Carlos literally left me by myself to “figure it out” as he went to fix his car. Every-time I went in there was someone new teaching me. G was the only one that I learned anything from, he is the only caring instructor there.
Negative experience: READ!!! Don't waste your money or time Horrible place they don’t teach anything charge u $$$ bad people in the office and on the field
Negative experience: I wished I saw the bad reviews prior to signing up for a Class A training., If I could give 0 starts I would. This training cost over $4,000 dollars. The owner Alissia She takes advantage the most from the people that come from unemployment. If you value your efforts hard work and money DO NOT WASTE IT coming to this SCHOOL. Alissia will take your money steal your training hours & not allow you to complete training if she feels like it. Extremely inconsiderate, evil demeanor, disrespectful & she will mock you and make a joke out of any bad situation you may be experiencing and is decieving to say the least. She treats people horribly as if she’s above them because she’s the owner. after she received money for training she doesn’t care about the students and will make any excuses to withdraw you from training.
Negative experience: In my experience, this school was disappointing. When I approached them for information, the person in charge treated me poorly, showing a lack of respect. It felt like they judged me negatively for being unemployed. I distinctly recall being told that if I paid differently, the attitude would change. My suggestion is to steer clear of this school.
We apologize for the inconvenience, in our 37 years in service we have always stride very hard to be polite and courteous to everyone, please let me know what office you called and who you spoke to so that we can address the issue. We do hundreds of people and we pride ourselves in providing excellent training with the respect everyone deserves regardless of whether private or sponsored by any agency, whether you are working or unemployed. We look forward to your feedback. Thank you Alissia Alfaro Moonachie Office
Negative experience: The people were friendly which is always good. Antiquated system of teaching. They handed me a dvd and told me I had to study the video and then go on the range. Instructors were great, but the only reason I passed was because ive been driving trucks since I was a kid. While waiting to test with the examiner on the day of the exam, every single person before me failed which got me extremely nervous. Ended up passing. Once I was done I had an ideal instructor come over and ask me for a testimony. I lied on camera and said it was a great school just to get him out of my face, but please do yourself a favor and dont go here.
Fantastic experience: Great school to get your CDL. Nice people, friendly service at a decent price
Fantastic experience: Aquí obtuve mi licencia en 2014 de CDL A Gracias a ellos me ayudaron llevo ya 10 años manejando camiones en USA pero tengo experiencia desde PR
Positive experience: Me gustó mucho el profesionalismo con el que nos explicó el Sr.Jaime Rivera , nos dio buenas opciones de paquetes, bueno después regresaré para decirles cómo se portaron los maestros y los instructores .
Negative experience: Horrible experience all around. I paid $4000 for a 30hr package that includes 3 road test. Failed 2 times and they wanted to charge me an additional $350 to take the test a 3rd time. Decided to go another route & paid another $1400 to a different school. Finally got my CDL A no thanks to them. Jaime the manager is the worst of everyone there. Invited me to go to the office and fight. Tried so hard to stay reasonable with them all. It seems the bad influence stems from the top because everyone in the office has no respect once they see your not happy with them! I really expected at least 1 person to understand my point of view and make it right instead it was nothing but ignorance from every employee!
Negative experience: Horrible people. My husband paid $4000 for thei CDL A coarse that in 3 road test. After failing 2 times they wanted to charge an additional $350 for his 3rd attempt. he finally passed with a different school after paying $1400 because he just didn’t want to deal with them anymore! The manager Jaime invited him to go and fight him. Very uncivilized people.
Fantastic experience: Mi esposo acaba de pasar su CDL Y ESTAMOS AGRADECIDOS CON DIOS Y DESPUÉS CON JOSÉ CARREÑO QUE ES UN EXCELENTE INSTRUCTOR MUY MUY BUENO ASÍ QUE SI VAS PARA ESTÁ ESCUELA DILE ALA MUCHACHA DE LA OFICINA QUE TE PONGA LAS CLASES SOLO CON JOSÉ CARREÑO Y TÚ DINERO ESTARÁ GARANTIZADO JOSÉ CAREÑO ES LA VUELTA EN ESA ESCUELA
Fantastic experience: Pase mi CDL, les recomiendo esta escuela pero como dominicano que soy si van a esta escuela por favor díganle que le ponga las clases con José Carreño y no se van a repentir , ojo tomen su clase con José Carreño y el los ayudará a ustedes a pasar si o si dinero garantizado si toman sus clases con José careño
Fantastic experience: I recommend this school. They help me add my passenger endorsement. Instructor Jose did a great job teaching everything I need for road test.
Fantastic experience: hoy tuve mi examen y pase la verdad que la profesora que me toco es una excelente profesora te explica todo detallado con paciencia y mucho profesionalismo con solo 3 dias de clase me preparo y pase mi examen muchas gracias YADIRA
Negative experience: Para que ponen a una inservible con mala actitud en un teléfono que no tienen ni la menor idea que es empatía con el ser humano… por eso están como están buen día
Fantastic experience: This school is GREAT 100% recommend this school Not only the company is good but ALSO the instructor they kno there thing , they been in the game for years. Instructor all really good people if you are respectful to them they take care of you. I passed today thanks to everyone in this company. Blessing
Negative experience: Horrible instructors didn’t teach none of the basic driving needs and my husband failed his test . After paying 500$ for 3 lessons , he was over the 10 mile speed limit and wasn’t turning hand over hand & 10-2 steering basic driving principals ! Super unsatisfactory!
Negative experience: READ!!! Stay away from this place if you wanna get cdl They charging fortune for cdl training and not even bothered to teach anything to anyone They stole my hard earning money
Fantastic experience: Great school I highly recommend taking lesson from Carlos he’s very patient and will teach you the best ways how to pass your test.
Fantastic experience: If i have more than 5 stars i will do it i had a phenomenal experience learning to drive with this school My instructor Freddy carlos jimi every one in the yard i can just say wow they teaching you everything.big respect to the office too amazing amazing
Negative experience: The IDEAL driving school company is a company that does not act correctly. I went to get my CDL for a large school bus, you have to understand that not all companies offer this service. I was very clear when I told them that I needed it by large bus, they told me that they had it, there was no problem, the value was $3,600, I paid it in cash all the amount , at that moment, and when I returned to take my classes, I went into the office of Mrs. Alicia (manager of the place) and she told me that they did not have large school bus that they had a small bus but that I could take my exam on the small bus and then take another exam on a large commercial bus but this would imply more money I told her that I was not going to pay more money than what we could do if she was I agree with that, it was that I could take my classes with the bus company I work for because they had big buses and they offered me to train me for my driving test, she had no problem I took with IDEAL certificates that were demanding motor and vehicles after February 2, 2022 when I was ready for my driving test I went to the office to check that everything was ready for this day Alicia printed me my certificate she made me look at the computer that I was already registered but with the great surprise that when I went to my driving test they told me in motors and vehicles that I have no record of any driving company I registered, I called Mrs. Alicia to ask her what had happened and she told me that she can't give me that certificate because she didn't give me my classes, that is, I wasted my time and my money because of this company, they are too irresponsible, taking advantage of the new norm that motors and vehicles get, they made a lot of money with this new law taking advantage of us in short I managed to get my license through my work thanking God that they made me a record when they saw that this company stole my money Thank you very much IDEAL I recommend NOT using this company they are a joke la compañía IDEAL driving school es una compañía que no actúa correctamente yo fui a sacar mi CDL para bus escolar grande hay que entender que no todas las compañías ofrecen este servicio yo fui muy clara al decirles que lo necesitaba en bus grande, ellos me dijeron que si lo tenían que no había ningún problema que el valor era $3600 yo los pagué en Cash, en ese mismo momento y cuando regresé a tomar mis clases entré a la oficina de la señora Alicia (gerente del lugar ) y me dice que ellos no tenían bus escolar grande que tenían bus pequeño pero que podía hacer mi examen en el bus pequeño y luego tomar otro examen en bus grande comercial pero esto implicaría más dinero yo le dije que yo no iba a pagar más dinero que lo que podíamos hacer si ella estaba deacuerdo con eso era que yo podía tomar mis clases con la compañía de bus que yo trabajo porque ellos tenían buses grandes y me ofrecieron ellos mismos entrenarme para mi examen de manejo ella no tuvo ningún problema yo tomé con IDEAL los certificados que estaba exigiendo motores y vehículos luego del 2 de febrero de 2022 cuándo yo ya estaba lista para mi examen de manejo fui a la oficina a chequear que todo estuviera listo para este día ella me imprimió mi certificado me hizo mirar en la computadora que ya estaba registrada pero con la gran sorpresa que cuando fui a mi examen de manejo me dicen en motores y vehículos que yo no tengo ningún registro de ninguna compañía de manejo me registro, llamo a la señora Alicia a preguntarle qué había pasado y me dice que ella no me puede dar ese certificado porque ella no me dio mis clases o sea que yo perdí mi tiempo mi dinero por parte de esta compañía son demasiado irresponsables aprovechándose de la nueva norma que motores y vehículos saco, ellos sacaron mucho dinero con esta nueva ley aprovechándose de nosotros resumiendo yo logré sacar mi licencia por medio de mi trabajo dando gracias a Dios que ellos me hicieron un registro al ver que esta compañía robó mi dinero muchísimas gracias IDEAL recomiendo NO utilizar esta compañía son una payasada
Negative experience: Please do your research. DO NOT I MEAN DO NOT sign up. They will promise you everything and really come up short. I’m out of a $1K and they will not even try to work it out. Don’t even bother calling the level of sarcasm and condescending tone is not at professional level. Why didn’t I go to Jersey Tractor Trailer Training. Do yourself a favor research both and then compare the difference it will be worth it but if you want to lose $1K go to Ideal.
Negative experience: Do they do School bus training ?
Fantastic experience: Great quality services
Negative experience: Everyday diffrent instructor no set teaching pattern better off watching video and saving your money dont go waist of time
Negative experience: Primero que nada una mala experiencia por un error de esta escuela perdí mi cita de mi examen de manejo, tome clases con ellos para que me llevaran a mi examen hace una semana hice mi cita y enfrente de mis ojos escribieron mi nombre en su agenda y me dicen que debo llegar a las 8:00am a la oficina por qué debo de practicar 30min antes de mi test que era a las 9:00am en Wayne, yo llego a las mismas 8:00am a la oficina y el señor llega ala oficina a las 9:05am y le digo que qué pasó que tenía mi examen a las 9:00 y me dice que no que mi nombre no está en su agenda cuando el va y checa mi nombre estaba quitado de su agenda mi nombre, lo único que el se le ocurrió es decir o disculpa hubo un error de aquí lo único que debes hacer es otra cita… Que buena excusa me da “ ERROR DE ELLOS” cero profesionalismo que poca que jueguen con el tiempo de la gente y sobre todo sabiendo que una cita no se consigue de la noche a la mañana… Tengan mucho cuidado que no les pase lo mismo que ami por un error de Ellos…
Negative experience: اكثر مكان ممكن تخسر وقت و مصاري عندهم اللي بيدربو على رخصة التريلات ملهمش نفس يشتغلوا يعني من الاخر ما بنصح حدا يروح هناك خصوصا اذا كنت من برنامج حكوميما رح يهتموا بالمررررررة
Negative experience: Mala educación del señor! Prepotente! Y no trata como debería a sus clientes. Debería cambiar de trabajo! Que trate con vacas en vez de con personas
Negative experience: DISCULPE POR SECIR LA VERDAD..PERO USTED ,EL SEŇOR QUE ATIENDE EL TELEFONO Y EN EL ESCRITORIO...UN MALCRIADO POR QUE TIENE UNA OFICINITA SE CREE QUE TODO EL MUNDO DEBE DARLE AIRE..QUE PENA DA...Y APRENDA HACER EDUCADO.Y ACEPTAR ESCUCHAR
Negative experience: Mala experiencia con la atención al cliente y prepotencia y las clases no son tan buenas solo te yeba a pasear y no te enseñan los 3 puntos que uno debe hacer
Negative experience: I wish I can give them 0 stars ,made me wait and call out of work just to not show up ,wasted my time ,disgusting behavior and very unprofessional
Fantastic experience: Victor taught me in three days and I somehow passed. He's a miracle worker and I am so grateful for his patience
Fantastic experience: They have good service. Go here and they’ll explain everything you need to know. Great schedule. Great prices. Nice staff.
Fantastic experience: My instructor Hansel was very polite, gave me a couple of tips for me.to follow the day of my test. I used their service before with my daughter and she passed her road test on her first try. Hopefully I will do the same.
Negative experience: I called this school to register for classes the man that answered the phone was short with every question I asked he told me to come to the school to register I got there 20 minutes before closing they refused to see me and I came from 40 minutes away...i decided to try again against my better judgement ..i went early and when I got there 2 gentleman were extremely rude to me and my husband ...i really thought it was because I was a female that they were rude but since they were rude to my husband ...i realized they were just rude in general ...its a shame because they don't know what people are going through in their lives to just be nasty ....I hope they improve their customer service and make the necessary improvements....no one deserves that kind of treatment
Negative experience: Very bad customer service
Negative experience: Mi hermana estudio ahí para hacer el examen escrito, y una respuesta que tienen por buena en realidad esta mal. Otra cosa hoy 15 de Feb a la 1:00 pase a preguntar por que los había considerado para hacer mi examen de manejo, y un tipo delgado de lentes y pelo corto me atendió de mala gana, le dije q no tenia el permiso porque venia de hacerme el examen de la vista a lo cual el respondió todo desalentador que si no tenía el permiso no podía ayudarme, a lo cual dije que precisamente a eso venía, a informarme en lo q lo obtenía. Se dio cuenta de su error y ya iba yo por la puerta yendo de salida. No se como tienen a gente así en la recepción no les doy más mala calificación porque no se puede
Negative experience: The worst place you could go for a CDL. Once they get your money, every time you need anything or they mess up your schedule and you complain, they'll have you speak to some guy they have there who is very sneaky and Rude. They will treat you like they already got your money and now they're doing you a favor. Their other offices are really good though and not this way.
We have not received any complains at this facility. We will be more than happy to talk to anyone that has any complains to help fix the situation. Our goal is to make sure our students achieve maximum Knowledge and to obtain their CDL license. We have job placements available, we work with multiple companies that are always hiring and willing to give our students jobs. Please contact the office we will gladly assist you.
Negative experience: Pay attention to the reviews on here. The customer service really is terrible. I called to get some CDL information and was told I had to go to the location to discuss details. Drove to Elizabeth and the location was closed. Called in and was told I had to go to the Clifton location and wasn’t provided an address. Fine. Drove 30 mins to clifton the next day and was told they wouldn’t speak to me without having a mask. I explained that I just lost my last mask and just drove 30 mins. I asked if they had a spare and the guy said no to come back when I get a mask. So congratulations $4000 just walked out of your door just because you couldn’t find a simple way to have a conversation when you already had a mask on and was behind a glass. Don’t waste your time w these people. It’s obviously not worth it.
Negative experience: My son was supposed to be picked up at 10:30am for 1/2 hour practice and road test. His road test was 11:30am. At 10:35 I tried calling Ideal to make sure someone was coming but I got a busy signal for 20 minutes straight. We assumed he wasn’t getting picked up at this point. At 11:02 I get a call at work, even though I provided my son’s number and was told he was outside. I reminded him that my son's test was 11:30 and he’s supposed to have 1/2 hour practice. He agreed but of course my son was already at DMV before 11:30 and didn’t get to really practice what he needed, parking! And they still charged for the 1/2 hour practice. I would not recommend this place to anyone..
Fantastic experience: Excellente service five starts my only instructor Mirta she is the best thank you very much
Fantastic experience: I just passed my cdl. I recommend this school because l came from another school after l couldn’t pass with them. In ideal driving school they have good instructors both named Angel and they both were trying teach as much as possible. They have 6 speed transmission on the truck. That’s a huuuge deal, much easier than 10 speed no grinding, no coasting. My earlier school was waste of time and money. Honestly l didn’t come to this school because of their ratings were much lower. But than l come here after failing first time. Also l guess my first school has fake reviews and thats the way they keep their ratings high. (4.8)
Negative experience: Don't waste your money they are not gonna help you with your cdl at all.
Fantastic experience: Nice customer service
Negative experience: The worst driver school ever see for CDL no good don’t waste your money they only care about your money they don’t teach you anything they leave you in the yard buy your own don’t waste your time with this company They are the worst company in New Jersey
Negative experience: The worst driving school . My son did his driving practice with them and they have no record of him been to their stupid school, the worst is I had to pay extra hidden fee . The worst driving school ever . Can never recommend the school the to anyone. Though the guys at Paterson office are the best but the Clifton office is a big joke.
Fantastic experience: Carlos, Angel and the gentlemens in the office they are great! They care about you. Just got my CDL A. Good experience. Thank you IDEAL.
Fantastic experience: I recomend victor
Fantastic experience: The entire staff was great with preparing my 16 year old with lessons and her permit. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: The staff here were very nice and helpful!! Definitely recommend coming here!!!
Negative experience: Instructors are nasty and late. On the top of that, they added insult to injury when the instructor yelled at me for no reason. It is miserable and frustrating
Negative experience: It was not my best experience, the person who taught me was a woman, she has no patience, she is in a bad mood and she tries to always see less of you. I DO NOT RECOMMEND IT.
Negative experience: Terrible customer service lady I spoke to on the phone to cancel my driving class was very rude about it. I was very shocked on how she was hired because it was very disrespectful the way she answered back at me when I had asked very politely! I took a class here the instructor was very rude and looked like he hated his job. I took a class somewhere else and realized this school DID NOT teach me how to drive CORRECTLY. Please pick another school this one is definitely not worth your money!
Fantastic experience: Mi experiencia con ésta compañía fue increíble, desde la persona que coje el teléfono hasta las personas que me dieron las prácticas. Yadira la persona con mas paciencia que he conocido, su empeño y positivismo para que todo saliera bien, siempre pendiente y empeñada para que aprendiera, con muy buena técnica,con solo tres clases tomadas. El día de mi examen me mandan a Freddy, este joven que cuando lo vi pensé, que experiencia en manejo podría tener este jovencito? Me sorprendió, excelente chofer, preciso, sabe muy bien lo que hace, OJO les recomiendo mucho a este joven. Gracias a ellos tengo mi licencia.
Fantastic experience: I been dealing with this school since 2000 and they treat people with respect and there goal is to have you prepared for all your DMV test I continue to recommend people there.and Freddie you the best he is a dmv walking book when I went and took my son test the inspector in dmv stopped me and said I was doing it like he has it lined up in his book.thanks freddie you are the best
Fantastic experience: Tome el curso la semana pasada y pase my examen teorico en realidad fui a la fija Gracias Gracias
Negative experience: Peor escuela el servicio es un desastre, el dueña no tiene educacion. Llame para preguntar por un paquete y ofende a los clientes arepentido de llamar. No pierdan su tiempo llamando y miren es 3 stars que quiere decir que no son bueno
Fantastic experience: How much is it for the road test and practice for one hour before?
Joann, the typical price is $125 but varies based on road test site and pick up location. please contact your closest office if you have additional questions. Clifton's number is 973-773-6516.
Fantastic experience: I passed my test in Wayne. Thanks to Freddy! He is very cool and funny. I highly recommend him :):):):):)
Fantastic experience: Hugo!!! The absolute best! Amazing driving school teacher, a few lessons and I did an amazing job on my Exam! He deserves Great recognition, especially during this holiday season! Absolutely amazing. One of a kind!
Fantastic experience: They are very good..The instructor made my son feel comfortable behind the wheel. Very good I’m my book! I recommend Freddie he taught my daughter and now my son!
Fantastic experience: Ideal driving school Was the absolutely best choice ever. (My instructor Freddy is the best!) Aced my road exam, definitely Highly recommend ✅
Negative experience: Instructor was on the phone during majority of the time, they treat you as “without me and you using my vehicle then you’re nothing”, honestly the staff is just disgusting. I don’t recommend anyone going here unless if you have no problem being treated like dirt. I recommend everyone to go find some other place than this amateur and unprofessional “School” because honestly, this is a joke and the instructor forgot somethings to teach me and I had to remind them.
Negative experience: Horrible customer service some guy I believe to be the one in charge talks to you like your getting the service for free when in reality your paying them ... horrible
Negative experience: Rude and disrespectful customer service when I called and asked for prices and just general questions and he hangs up on me before I can even book the date and time
Fantastic experience: yeo my boii freddy he the best out here tbh.. i just took the road and i pass 1st try.. when you scheduled a appointment ask for freddy he’ll teach you everything in 2 hour
Negative experience: Rude. Attitude throughout the entire school. Would not recommend
Fantastic experience: Ecelente instructor de verdad que es una persona que sabe enseñar por su paciencia y su dedicación felicidades y sigue así bendiciones
Fantastic experience: I past my Driving test today!!! Instructor Hugo taught me well, he is one of the best instructors. I highly recommend him, specially if you are afraid of driving or you can get easily nervous. He is very calm and easy going, so even if you just want to sharp your driving skills once you pass the test, make sure to reach out to him.
Fantastic experience: Pass my test today because of Freddy, He the GOAT ✨ He motivate me a lot and I pass because of that motivation ✨
Fantastic experience: So I just passed my drivers test at Lodi DMV thanks to Freddy :) best instructor at Ideal !
Fantastic experience: yo this guys legit best teacher out here Freddy knows it all and has extreme patience and is the real deal !! Take this driving school best in NJ
Fantastic experience: Great place didn’t take long to learn to drive and they were patient. Highly recommended
Negative experience: I gave two starts because their teacher Victor is really great teacher, I had a class with him it was good but whenever I call the office for scheduling the guy who picked up the phones is so rude and you have to discuss with him for anything if you would like to get appointment. I want to get class more because of this rude guy I don’t wanna call them. Bad service, bad customer relations!!!! Please find someone else if not you gonna lose more customers!!
Fantastic experience: Fred has taking me to my road test and I passed. I've been depressed and very stressed out but he has really helped me stay calm with words of encouragement and helping me improve my driving skills. Achieving my license has put me in a better state of mind and I'm glad I made the decision to have Fred as my instructor.
Fantastic experience: Best instructor hands down Freddie !! Thanks to him I passed my road test 2.5 no problems
Negative experience: Very unprofessional the way they talk to you on the phone. I called on 5/11/19 the guy was nasty and screamed at me like I did something wrong.
Negative experience: The MOST disrespectful, angry, unprofessional customer service I have ever encountered in any industry within the Tri-State area. This place must be making a ton of money because they have NO respect for the customer. I asked if they have a straight truck and how much hourly. The kid who answered the phone tells me I MUST pay first to find out the availability. I asked him to clarify what he said to me and told him I want to know if any classes would be aviavaila in the next coming days. That's ALL I asked. Not the time, nor specific date, just will they have any availability within the next 3 days . He responded to me by saying: Call somewhere else. WTH? I called back and an older gentleman answered and explained to me what's required. I said to him "I completely understand. That makes 100% sense". He said "Sir you must he having a bad day". I tell him NO I am agreeing with you. He says it again. I said to him I am a woman. Then he says "Why don't you go see Charlie in Union City at our other location". These people are completely UNPROFESSSIONAL and hard of hearing or plain out ignorant.
Fantastic experience: Great place definetly recommend!!! Freddy, one of the best instructors 10/10 funny guy gets rid of the nervousness that comes with trying to pass the driving test. I passed xD
Fantastic experience: Shout out to my Freddie for explaining everything. I passed with his help.
Negative experience: PESIMA ATENCION POR PARTE DEL TIPO DE RECECCIOON,Y UNA ESTELLA QUE LE DOY Y ES MUCHO
Negative experience: Even one star is too much for thi school. Receptions man was horrible. He talked with as very rude that's why we even didn't try that school. Instead of that we get Universal Driving School.
