Fantastic experience: I had a 2-hour driving class focusing on the highway with Ozzie. Ozzie was great and he gave a lot of helpful tips and tricks to keep the car centered, knowing when it was safe to switch lanes, and reinforcing the skills I already knew. We had a great time and I would highly recommend Ozzie!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ozzy Diaz. My son failed his driving test twice due to parallel parking issues. Ozzy took my son for an additional lesson and gave him a sure-fire method for parallel parking. Thankfully, using Ozzy's method, my son received his license.

Thank you so much.

Fantastic experience: I completed my 6 hours of driving with Ozzie and couldn't be happier. As an adult driver with no driving experience, I was extremely nervous about embarking on this journey. Not only did Ozzie help me develop my driving skills to successfully pass my road test, but he helped me build up my confidence on the road. He was always patient and answered all of my questions and concerns. Thank you so much, New Era Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Mr. Diaz was the perfect driving instructor for my 16-year old daughter. He was extremely kind and patient. He gave her the confidence and reinforcement she needed. I highly recommend New Era Driving School to any parent with a teen that might be nervous about starting to drive.

Jaroslaw Chrzanowski 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: OUTSTANDING Driving School! For a number of reasons, I was not able to learn how to drive a car until later in my life when most of my friends and classmates have been driving their cars for a couple of decades. I was not sure if the proverbial wisdom NEVER IS TOO LATE would apply to my driving at my age. I was so scared to sit behind a steering wheel after I got my driver's permit. But my wife asked for help people from the New Era Driving School. In several hours of instructed and supervised driving with my instructor, I learned SO MUCH. I quickly got rid of my fears of driving. My instructor was EXTREMELY patient, kind, and eager to explain all the secrets of safe driving, be it on quiet roads on a Sunday morning or in rush hour, be it on highways or on a narrow street of a neighborhood. I highly recommend the instructors from New Era Driving School for anybody who wants to learn how to drive safely in our Metropolitan Area of New Jersey or just to refresh their driving skills. Here you will find very experienced and kind instructors who will easily help you boost your confidence in driving on our super-crowded roads. THANK YOU OZ!

Fantastic experience: Not enough words to express my gratitude not only as a client but as a parent as well. I 100% recommend this company to everyone whom may need their driving lessons. Eugene goes above and beyond to meet your expectations and he is hands on with the DMV as well. Today my autistic son drove to the DMV with Eugene and drove off with his license in hand all thanks to this God sent man!! Needless to say!! The prices are extremely affordable after my extensive search for a driving school I set on to him and do not regret my decision for one bit!! Thanks Eugene you are the MAN at what you do!! May God bless you always!!

Tracy Johnson 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a very timid driver, so timid that I didn’t try to get my license until I was 25 years old. Mr. Pinkney put me at ease and took the time before we even got behind the wheel to go over the very basics and to calm my anxiety. I am so pleased with New Era Driving School, I would recommend this Driving School to ANYONE, any age, anyone with or without drivers anxiety, Mr. Pinkney and his staff are “THE BEST!”

Raquel Acosta 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I would just like to start off by saying Eugene is an amazing instructor. He made the experience enjoyable for my daughter. She isn’t really too fond of meeting new people and the thought of it makes her anxiety worse. Initially, she was so nervous the first day but after that she said he made it so effortless and so easy to learn the do’s and donts of driving. He is very knowledgeable and patient. He is the real MVP because he is taking these teens out to drive with no experience which is something that terrifies us as parents. He made her feel comfortable so if she had any questions she can freely ask without feeling judged. I highly recommend him and will be using him for when my son starts driving. I also liked that he kept an open line of communication with me and worked with my schedule. Don’t think about it any longer and give him a call you won’t regret it.

Leen Shroukh 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Probably the best driving school out there, Eugene made me feel very relaxed and calm behind the wheel, he taught me so much and made me feel very comfortable he was very kind with his words as well.

The price was right and the service was excellent. Eugene Pinkney was very accommodating with the pick up location and schedule for classes.

I will continue to recommend New Era to my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a driving school for my niece, and after some shopping around went with New Era based on price and availability of schedule. I was very pleased with their above and beyond customer service attitude, everyone (from phone calls to driving instructor) were extremely professional, and I love that they had put COVID related precautions in place. We dealt with Eugene - who was very organized with scheduling and documentation - which made things very easy for me. Couldn’t have been happier with the experience.
