Fantastic experience: My son, Josh, had an excellent experience at Moriarty's driving school. Dennis and Nikki are the best. They are very knowledgeable and easy to talk with. All our questions via text/email or call were answered quickly and efficiently. Each step of the process was explained with as much detail as possible eliminating any surprises. Scheduling driving lessons was also easy and the driving instructors were all pleasant and courteous. My son took the road test and passed on his first time. Thank you to the Moriarty driving school. We would highly and happily recommend them to all.

Fantastic experience: Moriaty Driving School is the best. I had an amazing experience here. I want to thank everyone at this school, especially Dennis. Dennis is the best driving school teacher and in-car instructor. Today, I just passed my driving test, and having Dennis in the car today made me feel so comfortable and confident. These people do so much for their students to have a great experience and learn a lot. These people go far beyond what they have to do. They work around your busy days to make, and they are so flexible. I highly recommend this driving school. Dennis is the best teacher and instructor ever!!! Dennis, if you are reading this, thank you so much for having confidence in me and always being there for me during this. I learned so much from you about you and driving. I enjoyed the conversation we had together. Your stories were amazing and I had a great time with you. We had a weird conversation that’s sometimes we don’t know how we started, but I learned a lot from you and I’ve always will remember you Dennis. You always make me laugh and always have fun during our lessons. Again, thank you so much, Moriaty Driving School I will not forget you. YOU ARE THE BEST!!!

Scott Daniels 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Moriarty's driving is phenomenal! I'm nearly 65 in age and I called cause I failed my 1st test in Haverhill before Christmas so I thought a driving school would help and I was right. This morning I went to Lawrence and passed with flying colors. And on an I related subject, my last name was legally changed to TOULOUMZIS a few years ago. Apparently my Google account still recognizes me as DANIELS. GO WITH MORIARTY'S AND YOU'LL BE GLAD YOU DID.

Fantastic experience: Being a kid just learning how to drive is already such a scary experience but Moriarty Driving school did nothing but ease the stress. It was such a great experience.

Fantastic experience: This is a great school. They really work hard to sink all that information into your brains. Great sense of humor so classes are boring.. you can tell the instructors all take pride in their work and how happy they are to watch you till the end and pass that driving test.... as my son just did tonight. 7/27/23. Thank you moriarty's driving school..... very satisfied

Cheryl Sullivan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Both of our kids attended Moriarty's and received top-notch driving instruction. Dennis Moriarty was a former police officer and has the experience to instruct students with the best ways to drive safely and avoid accidents. The whole team at Moriarty's goes out of their way to work with students and parents to receive great driving instruction and enjoy their experience. I'm so happy both of our kids scheduled their driving test through Moriarty's. It was well worth the extra money to have them set up the test through the RMV and provide an open house to go over some pointers before the test. They both passed on their first try!

Rhiannon Stare 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: We had an excellent experience using Moriarty’s driving school! They held our hands along the way and all of the staff are extremely kind and always happy to help answer questions. We will absolutely be using them again in a couple of years when it’s time for my son to get his license!

Barbara Wiechmann 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: From the first time I called inquiring about lessons to the end of my road test, Dennis, Bonnie, Alex, Nikki and Mike were nothing but helpful, informative, patient and kind. As an adult student learning to drive I initially felt quite anxious, but they took the stress out of the experience and made it a happy and positive one. I cannot recommend them enough.

Leigh D 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you Dennis & Moriarty's Driving School. We had a terrible experience with a driving school in North Andover which affected scheduling on the road lessons for my son. We contacted Dennis, explained our situation, and he was more than willing to help my son complete all classroom requirements, ensure driving lessons were done around our busy schedule and work with the RMV to transfer my son's records. On the day my son took his license test, Dennis did a quick content review to make sure my son was confident and gave him solid coaching so he wasn't stressed. Fortunately my son passed and was good to go. I would highly recommend Moriarty's Driving School and cannot thank Dennis enough for his help!!!

Jenna W 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Moriarty’s I went from crashing a golf cart at 14 to finally having my license at 18! Dennis was a fantastic teacher and the lessons I had were fun and completely prepared me for the test. Working through Moriarty’s made the process of getting my license much easier than it would have been through the RMV, and much faster too. I definitely recommend Moriarty’s driving school!

Rachael Heffernan 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about all the staff at Moriartys Driving School. From Drivers Ed, to road lessons all the way to testing. Dennis and his staff helped build my daughter’s confidence and calm her nerves. Their experience and knowledge gave us peace of mind during the entire process. Without a doubt, my next child will be attending here when it’s his turn. Wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else for driving education. A+++++++++++++

Katherine Filtranti 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Moriarty's Driving School!! Dennis, Nikki, Bonnie and Alex were all amazing!!! Also, the other team members that I briefly worked with that I don’t recall names!!! They were so flexible and willing to help in any way they possibly could. They all honestly treat these kids as their own. Dennis kept the classes fun and interesting to keep all the kids attention while learning important driving tips/rules. Absolutely a great experience for something that I personally have dreaded having to do. You never want your kids to grow up but when they do, you want them to be in good hands. With them I felt at ease!! Thank you again Moriarty Team!! I know Gianna has been properly educated on the laws and the importance of safety.

Michael Meagher 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Can't say enough great things about the entire team at Moriarty's. The entire process from registering for the program to road test couldn't be any easier. Communication is top notch, any questions are quickly answered. What stuck out to me the most was their approach to not just teaching your child to pass a road test but to train safe defensive driving habits. With distracted driving such an issue, I feel confident my child has the training to recognize and avoid any hazardous and dangerous conditions and at the end of the day that is what is most important.

David Hernandez 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for going above and beyond for our son Chris. Specially since my wife was giving birth and could not get my son for his license exam, they made sure to pick him up and drop him off all this going on at 3am they responded to our emergency. Thank you and you're team extremely grateful for what they did.

Fantastic experience: If I could give this school more than 5 stars I absolutely would! These guys know what they are doing and how to interact with teenage kids. Learning to drive is so nerve wracking and they know how to make them feel comfortable right from the start. I highly recommend signing your son or daughter up with Moriarty!

Fantastic experience: I am SO GLAD we chose Moriarty's Driving school - Dennis, Bonnie, Nikki, Mike and the entire staff provided us with an amazing experience! Not only are they knowledgeable, patient, kind and supportive - they made the whole process enjoyable with their warm sense of humor that has a wonderful way of calming anxious teens (and parents!). They were flexible and accommodating through the whole process. My daughter looked forward to driving lessons and always came home with a smile on her face and increased self confidence. I was so impressed by how much they really care about the kids. Wonderful teachers and coaches on this team. Moriarty's is a wonderful school run by wonderful professionals. Highly, highly recommend!

Julia Godtfredsen 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about our experience with Moriarty’s Driving School. They are truly the best. We had previously had a too long, extremely frustrating and not so pleasurable experience with another driving school for our daughter, but when we registered our son with Moriarty’s it was like night and day. The owners care so much about each of their students, they communicate in a timely, kind and efficient way, provide a top-notch education, and make it really easy for the kids to schedule their driving lessons. They even made sure to offer extra refresher training the day before the road test - complete with coffee and munchkins for the waiting parents. My son got his license today and has had nothing but great things to say about them from day 1. I would recommend Moriarty’s to anyone.

Amy Wahl 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Moriarty’s Driving School. They were extremely responsive anytime I reached out with a question. Their online lesson booking system was easy to use and they had so many slots available, we had plenty to choose from to work with our schedule.

Sabrina L 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dennis was literally the best instructor I had in my short time at Moriarty’s. I actually felt safe with him when I was driving, and when I made a mistake, no matter how big it was, he was SUPER patient with me and helped me grow as a driver over time. Because of his amazing teaching, I was able to pass my road test on my first try. 10000% recommend this school, especially for people who have disabilities. And Dennis, if you’re reading this, thank you. For everything.

Christine Licata 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter's driving school refused to give her driving lessons after completing their classroom instruction. She has a learning disability and once they refused her, I was having a hard time finding a school that would take her out on the road. I found Moriarty Driving School online and decided to give it a shot. I called and spoke to Dennis directly. He said he has helped a lot of students with disabilities, and he was willing to meet with her and take her out for a test drive. I was nervous for my daughter, but when they came back from their drive and Dennis said he was willing to work with her I was so relieved. My daughter and Dennis quickly created a rapport that consisted of friendship, trust and caring. Dennis genuinely cares about all of his students, going above and beyond what is expected. I am happy and proud to say my daughter passed her driving test on the first try! Thank you Dennis and Staff!!!! I recommend this school over all others in the Merrimack Valley area.

J. Dewey 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My daughter took lesions at Moriarty from June-Dec 2022. All the staff was very nice. My daughter is shy and quiet like a mouse, but she came home from class each time with excitement, telling me stories from class. Some of her diving lesions were around lunch time and the instructor had her stop at Dunkin Donuts so he could grab a coffee, but he also bought her a donut & beverage (This happened on 3 occasions) :) She recently passed her driving exam and is licensed and she feels very confidant driving, due to the exceptional training she received from this company. These instructors go above & beyond, we are very pleased that we chose this company. We were recommended by many to sign her up here and are glad we did, we will now recommend others to do the same. Thank you to Dennis & Nikki, Bonnie, Mike and Alex!! If I could give more than 5 stars I would!!

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Moriarty’s Driving school. Dennis & Bonnie are excellent instructors and this is a very well run company. Scheduling driving lessons was easy and my son enjoyed the driving lessons and classroom instruction. We traveled from Boxford and it was well worth the 20 minutes of highway experience for our rookie driver. We will be back in a few years with our younger son:)

Fantastic experience: My son Brady just passed his road test this past weekend. He was not nervous at all, he felt very prepared thanks to Moriarty's driving school. They were also very flexible and worked with him when it came to his driving time. He goes to a boarding school and it was not easy to get him home. Thanks again Dennis, Bonnie, Mike and Nikki.

Christine Burgess 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have three kids and have three different auto school experiences. My youngest was enrolled in Moriarty's and was by far the best experience we had. Everything went very smoothly. It was very easy to make necessary payments and schedule road lessons. Dennis consolidates the road lessons so that they get more time in the car for each one rather than stretching them out over time. My son enjoyed Dennis' personality and what he brought to the whole experience he stated, "Dennis is really funny and told great stories!" Further, the Moriarty's offered a FREE OPEN HOUSE with donuts and coffee on a Sunday morning for two hours taking the kids through the course for a practice run! This was a first! Dennis is very supportive, encouraging and caring with the kids as is his wife Bonnie. (Can't done without a good woman supporting!!!) Thank you to the Moriarty family for a terrific experience. Best school around in my opinion!

meagan beevers 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son attended Moriatys driving school. He did the accelerated class during February vacation. We were able to easily sign up for car lessons and got everything he needed from them. He enjoyed his lessons and learned so much while having fun. He got along great with Dennis and the rest of the staff. They made the usually “hard” experience of your child going through Drivers Ed enjoyable. He passed and got his license with so much confidence and Dennis and Bonnie by his side. Thank you so much for a great experience. If you’re trying to decide where to send your teens look no further and send them to Moriatys. They will make them feel like family and help them succeed.

Ramona Sim 2 years ago

Jake Gabrian 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having Next To No Driving Experience, I was Nervous in Choosing Where to Take Lessons From After Acquiring My Learners Permit. Choosing Moriartys Driving School Was the Best Choice I Could Have Made. The Instructors are Really Down to Earth and Kind. They Are Also Really Patient, Which is a Must for First Time Driving Students. The Options of Where to Be Picked Up and Dropped off Before and After Your Lessons was Another Bonus. Dennis, Bonnie, and Alex Were Some of The Nicest People I Ever Met. I Would Gladly Recommend This School to Anybody Looking to Acquire Their License. 10/10.

Fantastic experience: I can’t thank Dennis, Bonnie, Nikki and Mike enough for the amazing experience, we had for my daughter.

Tana Brennan 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My second child just successfully passed her road test after having completed her classroom work and driving lessons with Moriarty’s. Dennis, Bonnie and Alex are invested and enthusiastic instructors and Nicki was so helpful in getting the lessons scheduled so my daughter could take her road test as soon as she was eligible. My son did the same program a year ago with an equally great experience…so I can vouch for their consistent and reliable quality of service. If you are looking for an organized and thorough driving school who will make the process easy for you, I highly recommend Moriarty’s.

Shawn Bradley-Fairweather 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Having had previous poor experiences with driver's education, I can say with full confidence that this school is well worth going to.

Drew Genualdo 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Incredible school! They did a great job on focusing what you need to both learn how to drive and how to best prepare for the test!

Annabel Nightwish 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: If I could give this business 100 stars, I would. As a teen and young adult I grew up with a lot of anxiety and fear around driving or operating a motorized vehicle, and it honestly seemed like it would take a miracle to get me behind the wheel with how much my fear inhibited me. That's when I moved out and away from local public transportation that it ended up becoming necessary that I take this plunge, and thankfully, Dennis Moriarty stepped into the picture and met me where I was. In just a few short months I went from having panic attacks before every lesson to genuinely looking forward to seeing how I'd improved since the last appointment, and that was all thanks to the amazing instructor I mentioned above. So if you find yourself in a circumstance similar to what I described, where the inhibition of driving appears to be too big of a barrier to overcome, look no further than Moriarty's Driving School for the very best of the best! I couldn't recommend them more if I tried. Again, and I cannot express this enough, Moriarty's Driving School is in the business of making miracles happen on the road. 100000/10

Matt Wirzburger 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks Moriarty's Driving School for being so good at what you do! You put our teen at ease and helped her build her confidence and now she is a safe, confident driver. We highly recommend Moriarty's Driving School. Dennis really gets teens, and all the instructors are wonderful- they are all supportive and effective teachers.

Fantastic experience: My son had a wonderful experience, both in the class and on the road. This experience ended with him passing his driving test on the first attempt! Very happy with everyone who works at Moriarty's. Definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a driving school.

Fantastic experience: This is undoubtedly the best driving school in the area. Dennis and Bonnie are both very good at working with their students, and they make such an effort to get to know them. Their availability was very flexible, and they taught me everything I needed to know to get out on the road. Thanks for everything!

Fantastic experience: I cannot recommend this school enough, or overstate how much Dennis and Bonnie have helped me. I was a super nervous and anxious driver before I started taking lessons here, and by the end I felt really ready to be on the road and behind the wheel of a car. They're both fantastic people and instructors, and they do a great job making people feel comfortable while driving whether it be by cracking jokes, telling stories, or inquiring about how you're doing. They know exactly how much to tell or guide you so you can do well and quell any nerves. When it came time for the road test it was extremely apparent how much they cared about not just me but each individual who was up for their license. I passed, and I can't thank them enough. It's such a great atmosphere, and you can tell that all they want is for you to succeed and do well. GO HERE FOR DRIVING LESSONS. Biggest thank yous to both Dennis and Bonnie, a million times over.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Moriarty Driving School Staff for an outstanding drivers ed experience from start to finish. I can't say enough good things about Bonnie and Dennis and the way they connect with each student in the classroom and on the road. Nikki behind the scenes made each step of the way clear and easy for parents to understand. A friendly face in the back seat during your driving test definitely calms the nerves. My son passed the first time. 10/10 rating!
