Rivera's Auto Driving School Inc

Fantastic experience: The perfect balance of humor and discipline! Michael my driving instructor made every lesson both educational and entertaining, helping me stay relaxed while ensuring I took my training seriously. Their witty remarks kept me laughing, but when it came to safety and proper technique, they were firm and thorough. They had a unique way of breaking down even the most stressful maneuvers, making them easy to understand and execute. Thanks to their patience and expertise, I not only passed my driving test but also feel truly confident on the road. If you want an instructor who keeps you engaged while making sure you learn everything you need, I highly recommend this driving School!:)

Fantastic experience: The best driving school in the Bronx. I’ve been with several driving schools but didn’t reach my full potential until I started my classes here. I’m proud to say I passed my road test on the first try thanks to Michael ! You are truly the best. Thank you so much !!!

Fantastic experience: If you’re in need of a driving school Rivera’s Auto Driving School is the place to be. Whether you are a new driver or even need to just freshen up your skills this is definitely the place to be! Michael the instructor is the best, he makes you feel comfortable driving talking you through the whole process. You definitely will not be disappointed! He helped me pass my road test and I will with out a doubt be going back to him for highway driving lessons. 5/5 ⭐️

Negative experience: Everything was wrong from not teaching me 3 point turn and parallel parking until I had 2 lessons left, meaning I had to learn on my own. The driver is always yapping instead of actually doing his job. It’s hard to get a hold of them on the line. This driving school did not prepare me for my road test.

Fantastic experience: If you’re an inexperienced driver this is the place to be! The instructor Mike, is extremely knowledgeable and makes the experience fun. You will not be disappointed! He helped me pass my road test and taught me how to drive on the highway shortly after. 10/10 will definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Took 5 classes with another school and failed miserably took just one lesson and I grasp so much in that one lesson . I passed my road test with the help of my instructor ,thanks to my instructor for building my confidence . I highly recommend, the best in the Bronx no cap ! Bestttt

Fantastic experience: The absolute best! I took 5 lessons with another school and its was the WORST mistake! I failed my road test! Then I took one class with Michael the same day of my test and his way of teaching is unmatched! and I PASSED MY TEST!

Negative experience: Worst people hands down….. please go anywhere else but here the instructors be drunk when their teaching you and they are very forgetful….. and late and weird

Negative experience: Truly worst people on this planet I do not approve they are unprofessional have no respect 0 stars from me

Negative experience: These guys were very unprofessional they did not help in any way of shape or form, they are hustlers they just want cash they have the worst teachers in demand I wish I could give 0 stars

Negative experience: Worst driving school ever! Very unprofessional! Made me late to my first road test appointment and had to wait an hour for the instructor to arrive. No one answers phone calls and slow text backs. The instructor here is sus and talks like a female. Wouldn’t advise anyone to go here looking to get their license.

Fantastic experience: I love this driving school. Michael literally made sure I was taught everything I needed to know. I GOT MY LICENSE & IM SO HAPPY. I would definitely recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Rivers’s driving school is great option for those looking to pass their road test. I passed my road test with only 5 lessons, also the instructor is a pretty cool person. I recommend this school to anyone that’s trying to decide on what school to go to.

Fantastic experience: The best feeling ever when I checked online and saw that I passed my road test today. A very big thanks to Micheal and his team. For putting up with me, he made me feel very comfortable and so relaxed driving. Now I’m a licensed safe driver thanks to Rivera’s driving school… Rayyyy road mi say!!!!! So happy.

Fantastic experience: Great experience with the staff at Rivera’s Driving School. Booking was quick and easy, lessons with Michael are really informative, would definitely recommend to anyone whether you have no experience behind the wheel or need to brush up before your road test. I took 5 lessons and passed the road test on the first attempt.

Fantastic experience: I was very shy at first I’m driving Michael was very helpful. Granted I passed my second test LOL. But I would recommend the school to anyone in this area. Learning takes patience and time.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn they are flexible and take time teaching u

Fantastic experience: Michael is hands down the best instructor Ive ever had. I passed the test my first time with him where I've failed with other instructors.

Fantastic experience: Literally the best driving school hands down!! Mike the instructor is AWESOME !!!! when I first started going here I knew little to nothing especially just coming from a different driving school that taught me nothing. Rivera’s Driving school got me back on track. Mike is VERY HELPFUL very straight forward and plays no games!!!! Had my road test today I was very nervous but I got it on the first try!!! Thanks to Mike himself & Rivera’s Driving School, I highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: Thanks so much I can't express enough how much u help me pass the road test rate a 5 for me

Fantastic experience: I gained a friend I passed I had my license and I let it expire!!! But I passed again the instructor is awesome

Fantastic experience: Rivera's Driving School is your best choice in your journey to learning to drive. Michael is the best instructor you could have as a student. He ALWAYS made me feel confident about my potential. He wasn't just an instructor but a great friend! On my first attempt of the road test, I PASSED! And much credit goes to his methods of instruction. I would highly recommend choosing this driving school. Thank you Michael. - H. Singh

Negative experience: Please don't waste your money or time They are very unprofessional and rude

Negative experience: The worst not a good place wish I could 0 stars You reply why do I feel that way the instructor need to stop talking about is students when they not there he is the worst person I ever meet. Why would he talk about the lady like that .the instructor is also a thief he didn't refund me my money don't waste your time

Negative experience: I bought a full package with this company, I only did 2 driving classes and had to ask for a refund. Everyone that I’ve encountered in the office was nice expect for the driving instructor. The service that he provides is horrible. You would believe that you’re begging him to teach you how to drive or taking the courses for free. I don’t know what his problem is, but I hope he finds happiness within himself one day.

Negative experience: The wait time for you to receive your 5 hour class certificate is crazy. I took my class on 7/10/2021 and I still haven't received it yet. Then when I call in the afternoon the female that answers the phone is soooo rude. She was no help at all. Please go somewhere else. Then when I go to the location she was sleeping at the front desk . Please save your money and go elsewhere.

Negative experience: This is the worst driving school ever. The customers service sucks. When I called the young lady that picked up kept screaming in my ears and slammed the call on me. I called back and she didn’t pick up till the 4th time. The older lady that picked also is so rude. I will advise no one to waste money to go there. Very rude and unprofessional people.

Fantastic experience: The best driving instructor I know very patient made sure I knew everything I needed to know and now I’m officially a licensed driver thank you so much cancer♋️

Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience learning to drive with Micheal he’s a very jovial instructor who communicates well with his student; it was never a dull moment with Micheal while learning to drive, I would recommend anyone who wants to learn to drive and have a great experience while learning River’s Auto Driving School is the best place to go.

Fantastic experience: Choosing this driving school will undoubtedly make you a better driver and you’ll have the best instructor anyone can ask for

Fantastic experience: This is one of the Best experience learning how to drive for the very first time I’ve ever had Just driving school teachers that should be exonerated because not only to teach but they train you how to drive the right with the correct way and they teach you that everything on the road is a piece of country in our life and you have the control to give and take away life End it also teaches the rules of the road and let me tell you right now there’s rules four the road even the signs for the road that telly right now it means a lot to you and also to the public

Fantastic experience: Hi, wondering if this driving school is for you? Well it is they were very professional, helpful and organized and patient . My instructor was Michael. He was absolutely great and very helpful he understood my fears and helped me get over them. I purchased a package which included everything I needed. My appointments were scheduled to my schedule with no problem and no wait. Let’s fast forward to Road test day..... I was nervous and Michael spoke to me with words of encouragement all the way to the site and to my surprise 10mins later I became a driver. I couldnt Believe it. Thank you Michael and Rivera’s Auto driving school for instructing me on getting my license before my permit expired. Don’t hesitate call and ask question you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: Great customer service and friendly staff! They're great at doing their job if you're looking to get your license, or just need a 6 hour course. I would recommend Rivera's to anyone I know looking to learn to drive, or just need a refresher course. I've learned alot and look forward to coming back for more information that I didn't know.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this school and Michael was a star taught me everything I needed to know in 3 lessons while having good conversation and I was good. even going into the office It's like they have the greatest people working there

Fantastic experience: Michael is great! He teaches you how to drive the right way. I highly recommend him if you have zero experience in driving. Prices are affordable and he works with you. I took about 10-11 lessons and passed my road test on my first try.

Fantastic experience: Micheal was amazing!! I have ZERO experience with driving, so I was extremely nervous and had major anxiety. Micheal however was so uplifting, positive, much patience and such a warming aura. I recommend this driving school 100% !!!!!

Fantastic experience: If you want to learn how to drive and not just pass your road test go with Rivera’s. I’m forever grateful for the awesome teaching and instruction I received from Michael. I began my lessons in August and have my license in October. Rivera’s meets you where you, from picking you up at your door and dropping you back home for lessons, to affordable prices for lessons, 5 hour course and the 6 hour cours; I’m glad I went with Rivera’s for my lessons and I would recommend that everyone give them a try you won’t regret it!

Fantastic experience: Passed my driving lesson on my first try!!! Chris is the best instructor ever! Thank you Rivera! Couldn’t have picked a better school to learn to drive. Nervous driver=Passed!!

Fantastic experience: Finally passed my road test!!! After my fourth try, I can finally say I did it! Thank you Cris & Michael for having enough patience to correct me and encourage me to keep on trying. I can now say that I will hold the confidence & proper skills to be on the road! Thank you!!!!!

Fantastic experience: I just got my license today!! I have to say, taking lessons with Chris gave me the confidence to believe that I can drive! My friend refered this location after I failed my road test for a second time and from the first lesson I knew it was a perfect fit. Unlike most schools, the lessons aren’t given in any particular location. You have to become comfortable driving anywhere, on any road; making all sorts of turns and decisions that can become something you memorize if you’re driving on the same four/five roads. I got practice pullig up to driveways, gas stations, driving in areas with construction - all throughout different neighborhoods in the Bronx. I took two road tests with another school in Brooklyn and did not recieve the best instruction that truly built my confidence in my abilty to drive in conditions more unpredictable than on the road test/on their practice roads. I took the first package (300$, 6 lessons) and paid for an addition lesson right before the test that helped a lot. Chris corrected me in a way that was effective, encouraged me in a way that was supportive and I truly couldn’t ask for a better instructor. I’ll be singing praises for Rivera’s for a long time, and my sister is starting her lessons next week! If you failed in the past, Rivera’s is the place to go. If you have no experience whatsoever, go to Rivera’s. If you’ve driven for years and need a refresher, go to Rivera’s! They are very patient and truly amazing. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: Michael is the best. I passed my road test on the first try thanks to Michael. He is very clear on what should be done and what should not be done.

Fantastic experience: Thank you Michael so much first road test I passed after I think 3 lessons. He's very friendly and firm when need be to get you back on track... Thank you. Oh I went to Strang ave for my road test. ☺

Fantastic experience: I went, got the 10 courses and passed on the first try today. They really teach you what you need to know. And if there’s anything you have concerns about and would like to address (for instance I was afraid to parallel park) they will help you figure it out. Michael and Chris are very nice people I will start by saying that. I drove mostly with Michael but also Chris, I never had any issues with them and they are very clear about what you need to do during the lessons. I like that they talk to you while driving so it’s not awkward and intimidating, it’s a natural setting because more than likely once you do start driving you will have other people in your car and will need to naturally know how to handle that environment. They also won’t lie to you and tell you that you’re ready before you are to take the test (but I guess that also depends on how confident you are too) and if you are doing good they let you know. I’ve tried other places but it always felt super rushed or like I was walking away from the lessons with less than I started with. My advice is to just be consistent with the lessons on a weekly basis and you should be good in no time. I parallel park like a pro and that was my most concern. Go there and see for yourself or call, just give them a try you won’t regret it. They are very accommodating and communicative, just make sure to double check your appointment on the day of a few hours before the time scheduled. I find that it’s best as there is may be a lot going on sometimes and we are all humans so even if it slipped them (which doesn’t happen much) they will make time for you later on or you know if you want to cancel your appointment that would be the appropriate curtesy to give, a few hours warning. Overall, I had a 5 star experience and have recommended more people to Rivera’s Driving School, they really are the best even before they got them comfy new whips in that’ll keep you warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Yahll are lucky to have Michael and Chris because they really care.

Fantastic experience: I took my son for his driving lesson in this driving school and his instructor was Michael and he was very helpful,my son pass he's road test with no problems.so i went back for my self and Michael help me a whole lot was a little tough on me but it paid off he help me pass my road test on the first shot i was so excited...I recommend this driving school. Thank you michael

Negative experience: Not worth $40 an hour. Micheal took me once & did not complete the whole hour , Chris said I drive like a Jamaican , ( I am Jamaican) so what are you saying ? Booked my road test , kept asking them to tell me when is it so I can get more lessons in. I was ignored & then texted a day before my road test that I need to have $50 & that my road test is tomorrow. That's not how you run a business. Very Unorganized .. you guys talk to much about other people , worry about yourself. Chris needs to buy air fresheners for her car to because it always smells like cigarettes.

Fantastic experience: I was able to pass my road test on the first try. Great school and great instructor. They brake it down to the basics and make sure you know what you need to know to be a safe driver and to be able to get your license. Very professional and would recommend to anyone trying to get their license.

Negative experience: Very uncomfortable experience, Michael my instructor needs to learn and understand the psychology of teaching. He took questions as an insult, has a very nasty attitude, lacks patience and he's very antagonistic, doesn't know how to make students feel relaxed and comfortable. And I'm not even gonna go into all his negative remarks about Jamaicans on more than one occasion (which is pure ignorance and stupidity given that their school is in an are made of predominantly Jamaican people). I wouldn't recommend this school but to each his/her own.

Fantastic experience: My experience was very good i had Chris as my instructor and she was the best instructor u could ever have from a driving school i was so nervous n she talk me tru n tell me just relax n focus n thats what i did n i finally pass my road test...very sweet lady...CHRIS.

Fantastic experience: This was by far the best driving school I've been to. I highly recommend their services to anyone ,they work with you diligently to prepare for your road test. I guarantee you will have a positive experience and pass you're road test with no problems.

Fantastic experience: Great school. I had Chris as my instructor, i was a nervous wreck but she took me under her wings and after 5 lessons i passed my road test. I love the fact that she conversates with me, that helped to calm my nerves and feel comfortable. keep up the good work guys.

Negative experience: Last year, just a day before, just before the business closing hours, they told me that they couldn't take me to the road test... Very disgraceful... I Goggle'd 'driving schools' and the very last one was able to take me. If not, I was going to have no car to my scheduled test.

Fantastic experience: They offer a great service, rent a car to do my road test, nice polite guy, respectful. Great instructor. Ask for Benny
