Famous Driving School: Reviews
Positive experience: Mohammed Chowdhury was a great instructor who took the time to ensure I learned the rules and tricks of driving for my road test. He is dedicated to his students and works with them until they pass.
Negative experience: This has to be one of the WORST driving schools I had the displeasure of learning from. Instructor Chowdhury is not only late and even reschedules lessons but when you do take a lesson, he would rather take you into heavy traffic areas to teach you only to belittle you over the most minor things. Either that, or he will be on his phone talking to someone else. For a beginner or even a moderate driver, this can be really nerve racking or just downright rude and frustrating. By the end, I barely felt like I learned anything new. As for the greed aspect, this prick demands that you Zelle him if you dare be short on your payments for the lessons for a particular day To add salt to this pathetic excuse of a school, the lessons will never be one on one. This instructor’s teaching style is to jumble a bunch of his students in one basket and won’t even give you the courtesy of having you be dropped off at home while he proceeds to let his other students drive for a bit. Consider that if you are ever in a time crunch cause he literally told me “Use the subway cause I have lessons to do.” I repeat, THINK TWICE before joining.
Negative experience: Doesn’t meet expectation. Professionalism means do your job by any means. Getting done without putting heart in the job can only bring failure, not result. Greed of service provider is the main enemy for clients. It does not beget success.
Fantastic experience: What a great experience I had with this driving school. Before working with Mohammed Chowdhury, my family was very nervous with me driving but now they feel very safe. Mohammed Chowdhury is very kind and detailed in his teachings. I passed my road test in one try and I will never forgot what I have learned with uncle.
Fantastic experience: Great institution with great instructor. Mr chowdhury is a very humble and nice person. Helped me a lot to get my drivers license. Highly recommended.
Negative experience: Lady who sit in front desk very rude and disrespectful .she doesn’t know even how to talk to her customer . I never ever recommend to anyone to be there.
Fantastic experience: Lovely place.very helpful and the instructor(Muhammad chowdhury) was very experienced and gave really good tips to pass the exam. And the lady on the phone was very nice, kind and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Chaudary is hands down the best driving instructor out there! With his patient demeanor and expert guidance, I not only passed my driving test but also gained invaluable skills and confidence on the road. His attention to detail, clear instructions, and encouragement made every lesson enjoyable and productive. I highly recommend Chaudary to anyone looking to become a safe and skilled driver. Thank you, Chaudary, for helping me ace my test and become a confident driver for life!
Negative experience: Don't go there! There are a lot more other options. The first approach when you enter the office, they will be starting to fill up the forms to get you in quickly. When the class days starts, you will be facing the worst behave from the instructor Mr. Chowdhury. An absolute impolite man and shouts inside the car, uses phone while teaching. DO NOT GO!!!
Fantastic experience: They help me to get my driving licence on the first try . My instructor Chowdhury bhai was so helpful thorough out the lessons.
Fantastic experience: I was finally able to get my driver’s license after taking driving classes with Mohammed Chowdhury at Famous driving school. He is a well experienced driving instructor who focuses on getting the basics right to make you a good driver in general and not just to pass the road test. I have a hectic schedule but Mohammed worked around that to make sure I got all my driving classes in before the scheduled road test and I really appreciate that. I highly recommend this driving school and Mohammed in particular so you can get your driver’s license without unnecessary waste of money, time and energy.
Fantastic experience: Instructor Chowdhury was very concise with instructions, was able to pass drivers test with close to no mistakes, price was below average than other instructors.
Fantastic experience: Passed the exam with help from Mohammed Chowdhury. Taught me well
Negative experience: The worst driving school in the area . Go if you want to waste your time and money.
Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driving lessons at Famous Driving School under the guidance of Mr. Chowdhury, and I must say it was an outstanding experience. Overall, I highly recommend Famous Driving School and Mr. Chowdhury to anyone seeking professional, effective, and enjoyable driving lessons. Their dedication to producing safe and confident drivers truly sets them apart. Thank you, Famous Driving School, and a special thanks to Mr. Chowdhury for a memorable learning experience!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Famous driving school! Wonderful experience! My instructor is super patient and knowledgeable. With help from instructor in this driving school, I passed my road test the first time. 10/10 very friendly instructor.
Negative experience: One of the worst driving school in the area! I am the witness! it's better reading these kind of reviews first then think twice than going and being frustrated! The instructor Mr. Chowdhury has huge lack of manners. He constantly keep shouting inside the car, you will surely feel nervous more and learn less. If you are totally new in driving, please don't go here. They expect you to become expert within 2 days. Just ignore this school, find better ones.
Fantastic experience: I started this driving school a while back, and in about a month or so I got really good at driving, the guy teaches very well and the way he teaches is pretty solid and beginner-friendly. I failed my first test second test I passed with flying coloring with some more practice outside of the driving school and some key points to fix. Recommend taking this guy if you want to learn how to be an excellent driver in short time.
Positive experience: He teaches very throughly and well. Although he is strict with his technique I think it teaches you to get used to better driving and how you have to drive on the road test. He can be on the phone but that’s to pick up calls from other customers as well. If you understand his instructions, he’s a good teacher
Negative experience: This is a cheating place, no cars are taught here, people are robbed here I paid these people for driving test lesson and appointment they did nothing this is a scam place I just made such a mistake that I paid them in cash, which I don't have proof to file a police case against them.
Negative experience: Not just the worst driving school but perhaps the worst kind of business to exist in the NYC area!!!! First off, the office is FILTHY and run down! The couple who own the business -" Mr. Chowdhury " and his wife Tahmina are the rudest people my husband and I have encountered. They don't have any set prices for their driving lessons/packages. It's different rates for different people. They try their best to scam as much as they can from whoever. After paying for the lessons and 5 hour exam they don't work with you at all on when to give you lessons. It's all on their terms. Plus they never answer calls or respond to text messages. My husband went for his first lesson and Mr. Chowdhury immediately started talking to him very informally and rudely. After my husband finished his road test, the driver(and owner) started refusing to drop him home. Even though this is what we paid for! He started using foul language and making personal remarks. My husband had to wait as he took on other students in the vehicle and then witnessed Mr. Chowdhury physically touching another female student driver without her consent while yelling at her. Other times he is on long personal phone calls while giving lessons. Lastly, they are very disorganized about their paperwork and constantly demand to hold on to your actual learner permit and your personal receipt slips as well. Due to such disgraceful behavior from this business we will be filing an official complaint!
Fantastic experience: It was nice experience with this school , I take only lesson , instructor and owner was very good. He help me to pass understand points, how to pass road test thanks
Negative experience: Worst experience!! Horrible lady boss sitting there who doesn't even stick to her words! She promises something first and then asks for more money!! This place is a SCAM!!! DO NOT GO HERE!!!
Negative experience: Worst driving school
Fantastic experience: Mr. Mohammed Chowdhury helped me out before my actual road test, giving me a quick review and tips on how to pass. Passed my test on one try! Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this institution if you want to pass your road test on the first try. My sister and I both got our license easily. Lessons were instructed very thoroughly and learning driving became really easy thanks to famous driving school.
Negative experience: Is worst driver school He do everything to fail you and to pay more !don’t give you the right information ,and don’t teach you good And increase the Price avoid this school Scammer.
Negative experience: Irresponsible driving school for student.
Negative experience: Extremely rude and unprofessional. Lack of care for their students. Sets you up for failure. Communication was poor. Service was poor. Front desk lady is nasty and her driver is unprofessional. Bunch of thieves ! Go elsewhere! Trust me
Negative experience: Mr. Chowdury is a very rude person, he’s very disrespectful and never picks up the phone or replies to text messages. I also notice he tends to favor Bengali students more than different ethnicity people. His wife scammed us into making 8 lessons rather than 10. Best to avoid these people, they don’t track the record or they change the information!!
Negative experience: This school is run by chowdhury now and it’s nothing like it used to be, plz plz avoid him and his school I took a full package lesson with him, he was always on phone, never taught parking, and always had 3/4 students in his car during the lesson.... purely money minded and doesn’t care about the student... I donot recommend this driving school at all, look for different school don’t waste ur time and money here.
Fantastic experience: Mohammed is an amazing instructor. took his time showing me all his cool techniques that makes him an amazing driver. Passed on the first try !
Fantastic experience: ositive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value I have taken 10 lessons from Md Chowdhury and I successfully passed the road test for the first time. The instructor gave me adequate information about the road test. He was very friendly and his instruction was excellent. I am really happy and thankful to Mr Chowdhry and wishing good luck for him .
Negative experience: They are only interested in your money. The woman is very rude and ordinary and the teacher (Mr Chowdhry) is very rude and she is on the phone all the time. a total waste of time and money.
Negative experience: WORST DRIVING SCHOOL. I highly suggest you find a different school. He lures you in by being nice on the first day but that's it. He is one of the most disrespectful people I have seen in my entire life. Very rude and always yelling.A teacher should be calm and teach clearly and tell me my mistakes so i can reflect on it but he is always yelling, never focused and to make it worse, HE IS ALWAYS ON HIS PHONE!!. Again I highly suggest that you find a different school because you are not gonna learn anything here. He will yell at you for the smallest mistake and he has some serious anger issues. He is not fit for teaching. He is very aggressive and a bad teacher.All he wants is you money and he doesn’t care if you fail or pass. It doesn’t matter if you have to pay a little more money just go to a different place. If you take his class you will regret it. It’s been almost 2 months and he only gave me 8 classes. Everytime i call him he says I will call you tomorrow. HE IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME!!.
Negative experience: I took a road lesson with this school(famous driving school) with Mr. Chowdhury. (Owner) He is very rude, unprofessional and very disrespectful. Mr. Chowdhury talks on the phone while giving road lesson. Please, be careful with Mr.Chowdhury and his wife receptionist.They trying to cheat with unprofessional behavior. Please please be extra careful with Mr. Chowdhury.
Fantastic experience: I took a road with this school and to be even more honest they are very professional. The instructor show everything you need not just to passed the test, also for your safety. MOHAMMED I CHOWDHURY know give you that skill. I recommend this school.
Negative experience: The instructor I think his name is "CHOWDHURY and his wife who sits in the desk and does a horrible job! The instructor talks on the phone and yells at you if you make mistakes. he agreed to provide me a highway lesson and never showed up and expect me to call him very unprofessional. I have given zero star if i had any option! why they don't give refund
Negative experience: The instructor talks on the phone while giving lessons. His name "Chowdhury" he is very rude, and very disrespectful. He does not value questions you may have even though you are paying for lessons. they don't provide you with any receipts to show your payment and won't issue a refund!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Chowdhury was very nice at all time while teaching & comfortable to work with. Also, he is a very good instructor and its easy to understand his instructions. I took about 10 lessons with another instructor and was not able to pass the test and my driving was just like an beginner but after taking about 6 lessons again I got my license with him.
Negative experience: DRIVING INSTRUCTOR WANTED! Very rude, unprofessional & A SCAM ! Driving instructor rear-ended my roommates car & REFUSED to give up his information. The police said that's an offense & a HIT & RUN. I had to take my roommate to the ER ! There is an open case for this & justice will be served !
Negative experience: Disgusting place. Extremely unprofessional. My instructor hit the back of a car and fled the scene. They need to be shut down.
Fantastic experience: I got my license after 3 lessons!!! Even if the instructor is very busy on the phone because of customers always calling him he will make sure you learn how to drive and pass the test which is what really matters. Price and staff good!
Negative experience: Let me just begin by saying that, they don’t even have hand sanitizer for their customers in the car and multiple people touch the same steering wheel which is gross. They have multiple students in the car while teaching and the instructor is on phone. Stops near a restaurant for personal errand while the student is still in the car. When told what he’s doing is wrong becomes super defensive and makes excuses. They give you less time than promised. When I clearly remembered what time I started driving and stated that he says I’m wrong. They’ll gives you a “discount” but with that cones scamming on time and unprofessional behavior. Be aware and pick a different school.

Negative experience: Took classes from my dad here. Terrible service unprofessional attitude with the lady owner at the desk. Paid for 10 classes and only gave my dad 5 proper ones. Wasted 5 others by giving them all in one day when we said he cant learn that way. Went back to talk about it and she started arguing didnt even wanna listen. Horrible service DO NOT WASTE TIME OR MONEY HERE. THEY’RE DISRESPECTFUL
Fantastic experience: Our experience was great. My husband needed a defensive course, and we got it at a great price. The lady who answered our call was also very nice, and helpful.
Negative experience: I would have put zero if it was available. This is not a driving school. I don't know from where I should start. The rude, liar, greedy, uneducated, unprofessional instructor who can barely speak English took me to the road test location after few minutes of my scheduled time. But the rule is to reach there at least 15 minutes before the scheduled time. Then he lied to the examiners that he was there on time when they arrived the road test location after their lunch. Examiners were furious hearing his lie. They didn't allow me to take my road test. I wasted 1 month & money. I can't explain how frustrated I was after that incident. They didn't let me to practice with the car that he took on the roadtest day. I was compelled to practice with an unfit car. Once you pay the money they will behave rude with you. If you want to waste your money and time just go there.
