The Next Street - Wolcott Driving School

Negative experience: Overall, I am not happy with this company or their customer service. The exception is Mike Davies. He is a fantastic road instructor. He gives very detailed feedback to the student and his customer service is top notch. The rest of the company... meh! Not very happy with the customer service. They will charge you $100 for a cancellation, but have no problem cancelling on their students at the last minute with no plan in place for making up the lesson. Wait time for customer service is terrible, and when you do get a rep, they are not helpful. Doctors keep time available to see sick patients... why don't they keep slots open for emergencies that arise with their instructors? So frustrated with this company! I wish there were alternative for drivers ed!

Fantastic experience: Pam Sorensen was very helpful and I learned a ton from her. Thank you, I feel more comfortable driving now!

Positive experience: The driving log rating system needs work. There is barely a fifteen minute break between drives, which is probably not legal. My onboarding experience was a bit subpar. The instructors are varied in skill level; some of them are a bit cocky. This is due to inconsistent training practices across the board. Delighted's instructor rating system gives a neutral score if students rate you 8 or below out of 10, which is a bit too high of a standard. I felt a bit uncomfortable with some of the managers. The COO just left, so who knows what's to come? But it's monopolizing Connecticut, so it's really the best choice for driving schools in the state.

Fantastic experience: Had Demetrius as my instructor and it was phenomenal. Gave me all the right tips to pass my test. Thank you guys for all the help!

Fantastic experience: All-Star (or Next Street now) is such a great option for those learning to drive. The classes are informative and are interspersed with great personal stories by the teacher, Karen Spencer. #dontbeadebbie The full program definitely assists in not only learning the necessary facts and laws, but also things someone just learning to drive without a driving school wouldn't necessarily be taught, like distractions how to buy and insure a car.

Fantastic experience: Karen Spencer is the best! She is really good at what she does, taught everything with depth and I would recommend to anyone looking for a driving school: go to All-star driver (Certainly if you get Karen!). Please give that instructor a raise, or at least a dry erase board that works.
