Fantastic experience: My grandson just completed his driving program with Next Street in Southbury. Kevin Wilkes was his driving instructor and from my perspective he was simply amazing working with my grandson. I have already recommended them to two other people and will continue doing so. Thank you next street for making this process easy.
Arnold, thank you so much for this lovely review. We are grateful for our awesome clients like you.
Negative experience: Really disappointing experience. I paid for the 30 hour course with 8 hours driving plus the extra mock test lesson and to take the test at the school. While the instructor was great scheduling was awful. You have to stalk the website and there was often no appointments available in Southbury. I even had to pull my daughter from school early to get her in. Then the day of the driving test was after a snow. The area where they had to back in to a parking spot was still snowy making the lines hard to see. She touched the line and failed. Her appointment time was early and at that point only one out of 5 had passed and others were upset by the line situation. 1 out of 5 isn’t a great passing rate and if I had known what a pain the whole experience would be I would certainly have spent my money elsewhere.
Thank you for the feedback, Jamie. We are sorry to hear about the failed test, and the struggles you had finding appointments that worked for you. We do work hard to make sure we have availability when and where our students need them. The New England weather can certainly add a layer of challenge to a license test, but we tell all of our students that the test doesn’t prove that you can drive in the best conditions, the test is there to prove that you can drive in whatever condition you are presented with. We hope that you are able to pass on your next attempt, and that you have a lifetime of safe driving ahead of you.
Fantastic experience: very good explained very well. I had a drive with Ari.
Thank you, Naz!
