Perlas Auto Driving School

Negative experience: The lady has an attitude and wants more money to give you half hour and the driver likes to lie to you with giving lessons to new clients

Negative experience: Estas personas son unos malos educados no saben nisiquiera dar clases deberían de cerrar el lugar porque si no pueden trabajar con persona mejor no lo hagan parecen perros.

Negative experience: Smile! Be a good person, or find out another job (message to the attendant person)

Negative experience: Took my girlfriend to get lessons here about a year ago. We agreed on a appointment and they confirmed the day and time with my girlfriend. We show up and they are surprised we arrived. They say that the appointment was earlier and we should have came earlier. We arived on the agreed time. Nothing was written in text this is what I regret. But they were very unreasonable and disrespectful. They said we wouldnt be able to get our money back. After back.and forth. They rushed an hour lesson into 15 to accomadate other people. Very bad driving school. I will never pay for lessons here.

Negative experience: No recomiendo, no les interesa si el estudiante aprueba su examen o no la instructora pésima no hay un buen trato al cliente

Fantastic experience: Went with them for my oldest son Brandon. And I was not disappointed at all. He went from not knowing how to drive at all to me being comfortable as a passenger as he drove me around. He just passed his road test first try. All thanks to Perla’s. Friendly staff and understanding. Will be going back in a couple months for my middle son.

Fantastic experience: I got my driving license in my first try. Thank you Pera Driving School for an amazing service

Fantastic experience: My daughter took her 1st 10 driving lessons here and she learned a whole lot. The instructor made her feel very comfortable. She passed on her 1st try...

Negative experience: The big lady has an attitude problem. Why even open a driving school if you’re not patient. I recommend going somewhere else but here.

Negative experience: Bad bad bad

Negative experience: The worst school please please don’t waste your money, my instructor not good and very Rude.

Negative experience: This place is the bad driven school ever the big lady she so rude only care about money a when the students doing something bad she made fun let you for only 3 minutes late a the one answer the phone is so scare about the lady no go there pls is bad a give one mount 3 weeks apart a every class

Negative experience: worst school does not teach you correctly. my son is currently attending and he went to the ER as he was feeling very sick and i called to let them know he was at the ER and couldnt do the class. the owner said not her problem and that he will loose the class i was polite to her and she said that she did not care if he took the class sick and had an accident. but if he did not attend he will loose the money and the class as he couldn't make it up. so i told her i have the paper he from the hospital where the doctor is saying he can't drive and she just simply didnt care.

Fantastic experience: Perla Driving School very friendly. Easy to work with.Perla’s team very professional. Highly recommend it.

Negative experience: Mal servicio

Negative experience: I went for a class and one of the instructors there, (the lady) was very condescending and a bit rude. I stayed polite and just laughed but this would be my first and last class with them. I wish whoever reads this luck on the test

Negative experience: Cualquier escuela es mejor que esto la seńora impuntual y arrogante

Negative experience: Mal servicio Alma es una mujer amargada poco amable no gasten su dinero ,no vale la pena ,no recomiendo este lugar

Negative experience: No lo recomiendo, es un servicio poco agradable y sin profesionalismo . La instrucción de manejo no es la mejor.

Negative experience: Just not a great service

Negative experience: Es una porquería de escuela no te enseñan nada y te roban el dinero

Negative experience: horrible customer service, the woman who attended to me was incredibly rude and kept looking for ways to not give me my certificate. i would not recommend going there if you want good service.

Negative experience: Not even deserving of one star but I must say that if you have a teen learning to drive, I would recommend that you don't go here! One of the main ladies is unprofessional, lazy, and very rude. She clearly doesn't know how to teach, gets mad easily and just cares about making money. They charge too much for their packages and this driving school isn't worth your money. I feel bad for all other employees working here. I recommend that you don't go here once again!

Negative experience: Lo peor lo que les puedo recomendar que no vallan a este lugar son incompetente y irresponsables.. No vallan yo quede molestos com esta gente

Negative experience: Esta es la peor escuela, pague un combo y no me cumplieron, la señora es muy grosera, llegue temprano para mi cita del examen práctico, y me saco a esperar al parqueo ahí me dejo aguantar frío por dos horas, y no me quizo explicar lo que venía en el examen, le dije que no hablaba muy bien inglés y me dijo que me las viera yo sola, me hablaba muy pedante, no tiene la de cortesía con los alumnos, no sé ni cómo es que funciona esta escuela todavía… no la recomiendo solo le comen el dinero a uno y no le enseñan nada.

Negative experience: The worst school please DONT waste your money theres so many other schools the owner has the most disgusting attitude she will give you a hard time. Shes there for the money NOT because she loves what she does & definitely does not care to make you feel good.

Negative experience: Very poor customer service, the receptionist (lady) is rude and has unnecessary attitude, the classes are pricey (2 classes + road test) =$280, the car needs service asap. Don’t waste your time and money!

Negative experience: Horrrible place to attend... the lady is super rude and nasty... has not type of accommodation for her clients. took 10 classes and only took 8 and never showed parking classes until i asked her which only was 2 hours, and lost my last two classes due to personal reasons, but lady had no type of interest to find a solution, i understand theirs policy but the way she speaks and trys to accommodate you.. deftly shows you the school is just for money,, and when i was showed parking for the for only two hours girl just showed me the 3 basic right, left, right, and then no type of tricks or nothing i just felt like she didn't showed me at all as a instructor should do, basically youtube showed me more... and the first 6 classes she just basically sat me down and i just droved around the same blocks just going front , no type of lessons or tricks.. she was always quite and i was always asking my self could i be that good with no experience.. girl told me the 6 class i was supposed to go on a speed of 25 , yes probably i should of know that but if you see me not speeding to the level the first 5 classes, why she never told me nothing.. basically making me feel confident when i was doing things probably. as a teacher you will stop you student if they doing something wrong, so they wont keep doing it.. but therefore, time was to short and i couldn't have 100% control of my car .... foreal guys this women is horrible.. WASTE OF MONEY... and yes i failed my road test , but for sure i will find a great school with great teachers and i will obtain my license, but no type of recommendation

Negative experience: Ok please I’m saving you money, and I’m saving your feelings from being hurt. Horrible customer service I come from the wrong way and the lady is screaming at me for coming the wrong way. She delays her phone calls and has a ride attitude.

Negative experience: I wasn’t allowed to test drive car before road test.

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Perla Driving School for your help on getting my license I strongly recommended this School they are very professional, responsable and they take care of you specially to my instructor Mrs Alma

Negative experience: I have had very bad experience at this place not recommenoed . They only took my money and they didn’t give me the service for which I pay No recomiendo muy mal servicio. CERO ESTRELLAS FOR THIS PLACE!!!

Negative experience: Extremely bad customer service and very very rude instructor. Extremely unprofessional behavior.

Negative experience: How i tell you ima pick up my certificate on Friday. You tell me that fine to call ahead of time. Friday comes and they are closed lmao.

Fantastic experience: Great office staff, and longevity, Perlas has been around forever.

Negative experience: They constantly rescheduled my driving classes sometimes with very short notice, and the driving instructor would pick me up late. I wouldn’t recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: I just passed my road test! This school is amazing and I highly recommend it. Was so easy to set up my 5-hour class and road test with one phone call. Also rented a car which was included in the package. Instructor was great, it was very comfortable driving with her. Thank you so much for your help!!

Fantastic experience: Very professional service. Fast and easy! Prices are ok as well. Highy recommend.

Negative experience: Muy mala experiencia aún no voy al examen, pero la señora solo le dice que le den para alante y más nada.eso lo hace hasta un bebé, no obstante a eso nunca me a enseñado a dar para atrás, a salir de un parqueo y mucho menos a entrar a un parqueo, perdí mis casi 400 dólares por andar de pendeja pagando todo junto, y las clases la da cuando le da su gana casi mensual, eh tenido que dejar de trabajar hasta que ella quiera,La señora no es muy amable que se diga no vale la pena perder su dinero. Hice los videos y aún según ella no me va a dar el certificado por él examen, pero en otras escuelas me dicen que desde que veo los videos tienen que darme mi certificado .. Está escuela no se la recomiendo a nadie

Negative experience: The woman who answered the phone is horrible...she really has a nasty attitude Not recommended at all ...don't go their

Negative experience: Horrible customer service! I schedule an appointment, I wasn’t sure the date I knew I have to pay before the appointment, but since I wasn’t sure the date I called n they have cancel my appointment without letting me know it was cancel. Bc I didn’t pay days before, if I’m calling u to verify the date so I can stop a day before or if it was a week before! Nasty service (alma or alba ) You should call to let ppl know the appointment was cancel!!!!!

Negative experience: I dont like how they charge you 75$ to rent a car for every time you take the test even if you fail. And I dont like how they switch my road test appointment without my permission from 11 to 8:30 in the morning, a time that im not comfortable with. Worst place i ever been in. I say any other driving school is better.

Negative experience: Nasty woman giving the 5 hour class. Go somewhere else. This place is horrible.

Negative experience: poor service, wasted my money, and time. will not recommend to any one.

Negative experience: La peor maestra! Yo fui hacer el examen y no lo pude pasar ya van tres veces q tomo el road test exam. Los instructores en esta escuela no sirven no explican bien como tiene uno q manejar. La señora durante las clases no explica si uno maneja bien o mal sólo habla de su vida de ella. Apenas fui a otra escuela y pase el road test. No gasten su dinero en esta basura de escuela.

Fantastic experience: Excellent teachers and very good school I recommend it, I am very happy and happy with the treatment and attention they gave me.

Negative experience: Alma dueña de Perla Driving School. Aunque llame billones y billones de veces por celular y persiga a Benny y le ruegue otro tanto no regresa contigo porque le ROBASTE su ciudadanía de su casa y su celular y no voy a mencionar de que lo contagiaste, te boto como la basura que eres. El te tiene miedo por que eres mujer yo no. Si sigue acosando vamos a ir a la policia, corte y donde sea necesario.

Fantastic experience: Let me start off by saying I had a bad experience with another driving school, so I decided to take a chance with Perlas. They are so helpful and accommodated me so close to my road test. She gave great tips on my driving and I passed the test on the first try! Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had the best experience in this school. The teachers are hard working and informative. On my daughters first road test she passed thanks to Perla. I will bring my 15 year old when it’s her time to drive. I recommend this school to anyone who is ready to get a license.

Fantastic experience: I passed my road test the first time. Literally an amazing school. If you do your part they will do the same. Highly recommend!

Negative experience: No sense of customer service over the phone. I’m surprised they have not gone out of business.

Fantastic experience: Best driving school in all yonkers

Negative experience: My mistake for not reading the reviews here and on yelp. I had the same experience as the rest of these people who reviewed. They never keep their appointments and I was actually lied to that I was told my appointments were being cancelled and rescheduled when in fact I was not. "Darlene" who makes the appointments does not seem to be writing them down because when you show up they look at you dazed and confused like oh you had an appointment today?! Not a way to run business. They need better management because Alma does not know how to run the place. She also does not have any manners on how to talk to people. You are not supposed to lie and then when you get caught simply say "lets just move forward". This is not a joke. People have jobs and work around their schedule to make appointments and you cannot just cancel because you have to get you hair and nails done. Please people take these reviews seriously and try other schools. To much hassle with this one.

Negative experience: horrible instructors, they just want your money not to teach you how to drive.

Negative experience: Worst experience ever .. the women who cannot talk to her customers properly .. every time I call them she is very rude.. her daughter is nice and friendly .. so I will never recommend this to anyone .

Negative experience: Disgusting! Very bad customer service I waste my money!

Fantastic experience: Took driving course excellent instructor

Negative experience: Horrible

Positive experience: The receptionist was very nice and friendly, but the person that gave me the lesson was a little bit moody sometimes.

Negative experience: Muy mala experiencia. Pague por mi cita del Road test y me confirmaron dia y hora y luego a dias de la cita me llaman que no tengo cita. Me hicieron perder mi tiempo. Falta de profesionalidad.

Fantastic experience: I passed with this school! My instructor was every encouraging and seemed to really care about me passing. I did not get that with my last driving school. She really taught me a lot and I thank her!

Negative experience: All they do is yell

Negative experience: Worse experience ever wish I cud give no stars... I paid $95 to use there car for my road test the car was so old,the brakes where delayed.the petal was to the floor and still not stopping..I failed my test because of this old car.when I went back to the office to speak with the rude manager her first words where take me to small claims court.I let her know I wasn't leaving with out my money asked to speak to the owner she looked at me and laughed and told me they'll be back in 3 moths as if this is funny.she ended up calling the cops on me because I wasn't leaving with out my money,when the cops arrive this crazy lady told them I was treating her name she fear for her safety.. thank god the cops seen thru her b.s.. the end result was she decided to give me a check for only half of my money in which I'm gartful I got anything back...

Positive experience: The receptionist is very rude and sarcastic but the instructors are very respectful and I like how Carlos encourages me and I like driving with him.

Fantastic experience: Very well driving school, I recommend it...

Negative experience: Crazy woman had an attitude with me... Many times she would not explain me in the right way how to perfect my turns. I failed here 3 times because something or the other. Lessons were not given on a timely manner. Never again coming here... It's a scam business they are running.. Very sad I wasted my money on this place.

Positive experience: Overall I give it to Alma she has been very patient and she actually gave me pointers on driving. I blame myself for not passing the exam because of my nerves but I give this place credit for giving me the confidence I needed on driving.

Negative experience: This driving school is a scam. I paid for 5 lessons and road test but they did not take me to my road test because they were too busy with other students. I had to hire another instructor to take me. Did not even get a refund. They don't keep their appointments. They cancel the last minute or change the schedule when they want to. Or even worse they send another instructor with a different car to teach you. So that's not good because I was already used to driving the other car. And the new teacher kept bad mouthing the previous instructor. He even said I'm gonna fail my driving test. Way to go in bringing down the confidence of a beginner. Horrible experience. I chose this driving school because of the reviews but I regret believing them. It's not true. They are a bunch of liars.. Don't trust them!

Fantastic experience: Nice school ! They helped me with my road test ! I just got my driven license, Carlos was my instructor, thank you so much for teaching me

Fantastic experience: In my opinion i feel the instructors are very helpful and nice. Before i started taking classes with them i drove with my family members and i always struggled with parallel parking. My instructor helped me and now i can parallel park pretty well. When i first started driving i was extremely nervous but they made me feel comfortable behind the wheel and now i am not nervous anymore and feel i will be able to pass my road test. All i can say is thank you to them for preparing me .

Positive experience: Very friendly staff, patient instructor. Will be sending my grandkids.

Negative experience: Its at a terrrible location, the instructors vary with every class..no matter how many classes you take, nobody is really concerned about making you pass the road test. I wasted a lot of time trying to park during the whole time but was never taught about road awareness and other things that you need to pass the road test. Overall, i am very disappointed and i wish i had spent a little more money and taken classes somewhere else

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at this driving school and overall please with the helpful skills learn from my driver instructor. The office staff was never a problem and i am satisfied with their teachings. My instructor was always on time when it came down to the road lessons and she was very courteous and understanding when explaining the road concepts of right from wrongs driving habits. I would recommend this school for those who have no or little experience. I had a female instructor and she was always polite, neat and presentable. The vehicle wasn't messy, very clean. She was understanding when I was in doubt and always had the answered along with the explanation. She help me realize the a logics and concepts behind the road signs, lane markings, turn, stop sign, caution with pedestrians, one way and two way roads, traffic, lane change..etc. Thanks to the school, i am now a license driver. =] Yay!

Negative experience: So far I have taken like 15 classes with them. Still I can't turn well or do the parking with out hitting the curb. Primarily because I am nervous about driving so it takes me longer and because I dont feel like they are preparing me well. At first I thought I was the problem but after reading the comments and hearing about where my friends went through I know its them. The woman was not a good teacher!

Negative experience: I don't know how this woman is teaching people how to drive! She yelled at me all the time... Plus she told me the lessons were $38.00 then when she showed up she charged me $50.00! This was a bad experience coming here.
