John's Driving School - Philadelphia

Fantastic experience: Great experience overall…this is the second child I have had take test here. Instructors take their time, ease their nerves, and give helpful input. I would recommend to everyone

Fantastic experience: John’s Driving School (site #75024) is a great place to do the driving test. The examiner was great and was patient with me. I passed the test with flying colors. *The best part is I didn’t even have to wait for an appointment like I would if I went straight to PennDOT. I highly recommend this school to anybody needing driving lessons or to complete their driving test.

Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was very kind and made sure that I understood everything he was helping me with every step of the way. Thanks to him i was able to pass my driving test and got my license.

Fantastic experience: Site #75024 Was able to get a quick test appointment here after Penndot cancelled my test appointment same day. The woman working the desk and phone was very kind and the test administrator was clear with their instructions. Took about 20 minutes.

Fantastic experience: Easy, fast and great service! I came here for my drivers exam and passed! It took all of 15 minutes in total! Come here if you want fast service!

Fantastic experience: Courteous staff and amazing instructors and examiners. Smooth processing. A beautiful and s very clean office.

Fantastic experience: John's Testing Center is DMV approved!!! The DMV didn't have appointments in our area for two months. My daughter's driving instructor (Philadelphia Professional Driving School) recommended she take her road test at John's. My daughter passed her driving test on her first attempt. John's Testing Center stamped her permit. We took her permit to the DMV on the SAME DAY. My daughter was given her camera card, took her picture, and received her drivers license on the same day. Thanks Philadelphia Professional Driving School and John's Testing Center!

Fantastic experience: I loved taking my driver's exam here. I would do it again and I highly recommend this place to everyone. The staff is kind, quick and encouraging. I was so nervous on the test road and they were wonderful with me.

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY recommend anyone that is taking their drivers test to take it here. The instructor was really chill and cool. Joe was my instructor. He was REALLY accurate in giving me directions. I DO NOT recommend you taking your test at the Penndot. There useless. I highly recommend Jhon’s Driving School. It’s worth EVERY penny. The prices are reasonable and very affordable. I passed my test today. I was recommended by a friend to take my test here. As long as you know basic driving and you know a bit of parallel parking, you should be absolutely fine. I recommend to practice your parallel parking before you take the test. You must NOT be out of the white box. The Parallel parking site testing is big enough for you to get your car perfectly in. I used Jhon’s Car and it was absolutely easy to drive. I haven’t used anyone’s car besides my dad and I didn’t want to give the test in my dads car because it was to big. The Jhon’s car was really easy to drive as well. Again, as long as you know basic driving, you should be fine in ANY car!

Fantastic experience: They were great! The process was smooth and my nerves went out the window. Thank you so much Mr W.

Fantastic experience: Jim of Testing center site #75024 was very welcoming and professional which really helped me focus and relax all throughout the road test. I will definitely refer friends to John’s driving school because of Jim. Best examiner ever! Thank you, i now have a license!

Fantastic experience: John's Driving school (Testing Site #75024) was great! I did my practices with them in 2020 and it was so helpful. I unfortunately wasn't able to do my road test until 2024 and even though it was 4 years later, John's driving school honored my original driving package and let me take the road test with them without any troubles or extra fees! Also the examiner made me feel very comfortable which helped me stay calm/focused.

Fantastic experience: Muy recomendado!!!. Como extranjero que el inglés no es mi primera lengua, fueron muy amables conmigo, fueron muy claros en todas las indicaciones. La amabilidad y la paciencia lo valen completamente

Fantastic experience: South Philly is proud to have a gem like you guys, friendly and professional staff ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: 100% recommended, the staff is very friendly and organized

Fantastic experience: I am so happy I came to John’s Driving School to do my driving test! Before coming, I had failed 3 road test at PennDot, I was very upset because I knew I could drive, I was just unlucky I did my test with an examiner (at PennDot) that wasn’t friendly and was really bad at giving directions… I didn’t want to wait another month to schedule an appointment with PennDot, so I decided to explore options and I’m so grateful I found John’s DS! I was able to schedule an appointment in just 2 days!! BEST DECISION EVER! and let me tell you, what a difference, the location very convenient, my examiner was extremely nice and very professional, I did my first road test and passed! the examiner was very clear with instructions from the very beginning, also he made me feel very secure while I was driving, something that never happened at PennDot. For anyone who’s thinking or looking for options to do driving test or even taking driving classes, I 100% recommend John’s Driving School, they are the best and once again I feel so happy and satisfied with the full experience they provided.

Fantastic experience: Very convenient and professional well worth the extra money

Fantastic experience: My 16-year-old daughter learned a lot at the C.A.T. clinic. You taught techniques to her I could not have. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great experience. Professional, punctual, kind. I tried other places doing the exam, and I highly recommend this one.

Negative experience: Just had to deal with one of these teachers in Warminster PA. Absolutely awful, if you want to learn how to drive don’t take advice from these guys. The instructor was sitting at a green light on his phone, people behind me were honking and I honked and when he finally left he brake checked me waving his hands, drove into the middle lane then waited to curse me out. If that’s an instructor idk what they’re going to teach your loved one.

Fantastic experience: Excellent school and in the practical exam the instructor was very friendly and respectful. 100% recommended

Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Very experienced driving instructors as well as testers. If you don’t have a car. No issues. You can do the test in their car, they are PennDot certified, driving examiners are excellent and make you feel comfortable sontoundontbhave the nerves while doing the exam. There is a PennDott located conveniently 5 minutes away so once you pass your exam you can go there and pick your license the same day! 10/10 recommend

Negative experience: Me recomendaron esta escuela de manejo pero tuve muy mala experiencia ..! El día de la prueba fue muy rápido y no nos dejaban expresarnos tenia la prueba a una hora y me tomaron mucho más pronto..!! Me fue muy mal..!!

Fantastic experience: The experience was great and the driving instructions were clear. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: very good experience for me and they are very understanding with future drivers.

Fantastic experience: Great

Fantastic experience: Very nice people.I took the driver’s test using the businesses car and the process for fair, affordable, and easy.

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure taking my son to get his license at John's. Bill and Victoria set up the date and administered the test thank you guys for making this a happy day for my son and I.

Positive experience: Looking for a free driving school for a single mother with child to be able to acquire a job

Fantastic experience: Very efficient and nice people

Negative experience: COULD BE AN IDEAL TEST CENTER . HE ROAD IS EASY, THEY ARE FAST AND DIRECT. HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE A FEMALE EXAMINER (SHE IS A LITTLE BIG), YOU HAVE TO BE ON TOP TO SUCCEED. SHE WILL DO EVERYTHING TO STRESS YOU AND PRESSURE YOU. IF YOU DO NOT HAVE TOTAL CONFIDENCE IN YOURSELF, DO NOT TAKE THE TEST WITH THIS CENTER.

Fantastic experience: This is Bun Kan, I just passed today, my instructor was very great and professional, would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I took the road test here. Wonderful experience. Staff member took the time to walk me through the controls on their vehicle.The examiner was very nice and patient. Definitely will recommend it to anyone who need to take road test.

Fantastic experience: Best Driving School in Philly hands down. Went in, gave them my learner's permit, did the road test, passed with flying colors. They made the whole process so smooth and easy to navigate and hassle-free. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Good trainer I recommend you getting him I forgot his name but I will always remember what he told me not to press on the gas to hard an his communication skills are insane, you will pass on the first try like me but I did some mistakes but I fixed it an got my drivers license this a good place to go take your test forget penndot come to johns driving school

Fantastic experience: This place is great - booked a test at short notice and everything was very smooth. Friendly staff and clean comfortable test car

Fantastic experience: Very professional and clean Space. I didn’t take classes with the school but booked a testing using the school car. The lady at the reception was extremely kind , energetic and helpful. During the test, Bill was calm and provided clear instructions. What a fantastic experience, I would definitely recommend the service for a stress free driving test.

Fantastic experience: At the first time I passed my road test. It was great experience with johns driving school. The team hosting was amazing , I would like say thank you so much for everything .

Fantastic experience: Quick and easy. Crystal behind the desk was kind and helpful, Bill who was my instructor was patient and professional. Test ran less than 15 minutes and was very straightforward and simple, to fail you really have to do something nonsensical. Would recommend for those who are trying to get licensed quickly.

Fantastic experience: My experience with John‘s driving school was great. My instructor Julie was very calm and made it fun. I tested with Crystal and despite it be a rainy day I was not nervous at all. So glad I passed!! Thank you. Sincerely, Nicholas

Fantastic experience: I passed my road test this morning! Amazing instructor Mr Bill is very professional . Highly recommend him. And very good Examiner. I am so glad I chose Success driving school.

Fantastic experience: I was nervous at first but once I started my test is was well worth it I would greatly recommend there services

Fantastic experience: Thank you John’s Driving School -Philadelphia. I took the driving test at Testing Center Site #75024 at South Philly location. The instructor was amazing. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: This place of business was very helpful polite and got everything done that I needed in a fashionable time manner despite the fact that the systems were down, and that was out of their control as soon as they came back up, everything was complete. Thank you for your services.

Fantastic experience: Mitch oh my goodness is the best ever. He is calm and helps me breathe through my nervousness. Overall best staff and wonderful customer service

Fantastic experience: These guys are Great! Good customer service and awesome training! I didn’t have anyone I could practice with outside of the 6hr training but that didn’t matter! Because I passed my test! Big thanks to the teaching skills of Jeannette (Jenny) Powers and Willam (Bill) Watkins! Definitely recommend this Training School and Test Location! Thank you guys!!!

Negative experience: I took a lesson back in 2021, the instructor was very impatient and made me very nervous. I had lessons canceled and had to wait 6 weeks to reschedule. I recently took lessons at another school took 4 lessons, instructor was great n passed my driving test the first time.

Fantastic experience: Despite failing the exam the first time I took it, my experience with John’s was great! My examiner Julie was calm, insightful, and reassuring and gave me some great tips and things to work on. When I came back to take the exam the second time, I felt so much more confident and calm and I passed! The office was very organizer and all of the staff was very kind and efficient.

Fantastic experience: I went to the one on Trenton. And they were very friendly and helpful. I came in early and they allowed me to take the test early. They encourage you to take your time and are very nice. Highly recommend

Negative experience: I am a driver with 13 years of experience and an international driver’s license. I scheduled my road test at John’s as it was the closest testing center to my house, and I don’t own a car so I was forced to pick a third party testing provider that also provides a car. I ended up failing two road tests - the first one was because part of the testing route was a left turn in an intersection, where the lane I was supposed to land was so narrow that it looked like a bicycle lane and I ended up picking the opposite lane, which lacked any road signs of do not enter or wrong way, I thought that the examiner asked me to turn where there was no left turn at all because this lane was so easy to miss, but after the test I checked it on Google street view and realized there was an actual lane there. It’s totally my fault, but on the other hand it could be easily prevented if the school would have providing a “warm up test” service, just to get a taste of the actual test beforehand. The second road test went well but at the last turn back to the school parking lot there was a car that pulled over in the middle of the road exactly where I was supposed to turn and after I passed him and tried to turn left, the examiner “got the impression” that I wouldn’t make it so she pulled the brake and, even though it was totally safe to turn, I got failed because of “examiner intervention”. These 2 failures didn’t reflect anything about my actual skills but cost me 300$ I ended up passing the 3rd test at a different institution that was cheaper and provided me with proper test prep for less than the cost of a single road test at John’s. I am leaving two stars because I did get feedback about what I did wrong after both tests, but I would pick a different service provider in retrospect.

Negative experience: They failed me because the instructor not properly informed me about the left turn and told me again and again little ahead. I thought he was talking about next signal it was miscommunication from the instructor as i asked her again and she told yes ahead. How dose it comes under critical errors? They took 150 dollar and i am an student and i have to work on campus for a complete week to earn that money. They told I didn’t follow the route that they have decided.I have seen videos where people have passed it after some point dedication. After coming back they were advertising their learning lesson, seems like they want us to take it. I have been driving back in my home town for last 3 year and never received even a citation.

Fantastic experience: I wanted to say thanks again for the help over the week I spent practicing at the facility. And the driver instructors that helped me calm down when it was time to take the exam.

Fantastic experience: Great seamless process from signing up on-line to taking the road test. PennDots wait was too long, they booked me in to test quite quickly. Once I got there, the friendly lady behind the desk helped me by going over the controls of their car before the actual test. I appreciated that. And even thought I'm a seasoned driver, (which the testor acknowledged right away), I was still nervous!! He, Jason, had a super easy demeanor which helped to calm my nerves. His directions were clear, and he encouraged questions when I was confused about what he was asking me to do. Imagine my surprise at finding out during the exam that he was the owner! Pretty cool. All in all a really good experience. I'll have my young drivers come here for their road test.

Fantastic experience: Quick, friendly & efficient!

Fantastic experience: Amazing service!! I was able to schedule my driving test within 4 days. They were super professional and nice!! Highly recommended!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter arrived for her road test very nervous, as it was her second attempt. Her 1st time she failed at the DMV due to being really nervous and messing up the parallel parking. But, this time around after lots of practice, Julie her instructor at John's calmed her nerves and reassured her. She passed with flying colors. We used John's vehicle and what an ease of driving My daughter said it was. The whole process took maybe 30 minutes. The facility on Front Street in Philadelphia was organized and courteous. The woman behind the desk was also very kind and friendly. I would NEVER recommend going to the DMV for testing again! This is the place to go! Top notch-high class-organized and efficient! Well worth every penny! Do yourself and anyone testing- Go to John's Driving School- It takes the headache and anxiety out of passing your road test!!!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing stuff I had very nice experience they did not pass me the first time but was reasonable because I did not stop at a 2 stop signs! I pay to drive with their car and they show me everything before the test ! very easy to make an appointment and no long waits ! Excellent guys ! Thank you so much

Fantastic experience: I already gave a review I’m just showing love. I had such an amazing experience with john's driving school (Mr. Mitch to be exact)

Fantastic experience: I was so grateful to find a place where the driving instruction for my son was thorough and included defensive driving. I know he gained the skills he needs to be a safe driver in a number of settings and not just the basics required to pass the exam. He learned so much and gained the confidence he needed. We appreciated all the ways the instructor was patient and understanding.

Fantastic experience: I took my driver's license test using John's Car. As soon as I reached I was greeted very nicely and shown me to the car I will be using. The lady showed me all the controls. The instructor was amazing and very clear with directions and very nice guy. The compound for the testing was really good with good routes and proper testing. Overall my experience was great. I have recommended John's Driving School to my friends as well and not just for test but for lessons too.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor - Great experience!

Fantastic experience: As someone who was getting their license at 28, I wanted to test at a place other than the DMV. My first test I failed but the instructed noted the couple things I missed which I made sure to get right the second time around. The second time I tested with the President of the Company who was really friendly and provided some additional tips. Enjoyed our convo. Needless to say I passed! I recommend John’s driving school!

Fantastic experience: TPT Testing Site 75024- Great Staff, friendly and helpful. Employees provide a relaxed and stress free environment while administering the education and testing. At the end of the day, when it is time to test out for your license, don't waist countless frustrating hours at the at the DMV. John's Driving School IS the right choice. You may ask yourself, "do I want to spend the money?" Yes, you do.

Fantastic experience: John's did an overall awesome job. I was able to quickly book my driver's test, the instructor was friendly and down to earth. Straight forward experience.

Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, the driving instructor put me at ease and calmed my nerves instantly. The women in the office was very nice and calm even though she was dealing with a full office of clients. She kept the flow moving quickly and efficiently. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Fantastic experience: Thank you John's Driving School, First in the world not just in USA, great team, integrated, highly skilled, More brilliance

Fantastic experience: Going to John’s auto school was the best choice I made for my road test the staff are kind and friendly, I will be bringing my children to them for there classes and road test. Great work you guy!

Fantastic experience: Very kind staff!! I was late for my test. The examiner was patiently waiting for me despite being the last candidate for the day Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Well worth going to John's. Everybody was incredible. Instructor immediately explained things and completely put as at ease. Easy to find, no long wait times everyone we dealt with was great. Highly recommend going to John's

Fantastic experience: Appointment was on time and the driving instructor gave clear instructions during the test

Fantastic experience: Took my driving test here. The examiner was professional and thorough while still maintaining a relaxed manner of communication, which helped me feel more at ease. I was the last person of the day to be tested. Since my prior lesson time was delayed, the examiner kindly agreed to wait an additional 10min for me to finish the lesson before starting the test.

Fantastic experience: Took my driving test at the South Philly location on Saturday, the instructor was amazing. Very thorough and detailed when explaining what I needed to do. I would recommend getting your license here 100%. Such a breath of fresh air, felt very relaxed.

Fantastic experience: We had our daughter take driving lessons with Ellery, his background and skillset were the perfect fit for her. As parents we feel very comfortable with her driving now after taking lessons from him!

Fantastic experience: Great experience from online sign up to completion of driving test. JT, my instructor for driving test, was terrific! Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Bill was my instructor and was EXCELLENT! Is very patient and direct.

Fantastic experience: I took my road test today at site 75024. Anthony was wonderful and the young lady that checked me in was very helpful as well. Anthony administered my test. He was very kind, clear and concise. He made sure that I heard him clearly and that I understood what I was doing each step of the way. After each instruction, he asked me if I had any questions and told me I could start when I was ready and to take my time. I know that might seem really insignificant but it was very reassuring. I honestly felt like he really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and ready to go and that I didn’t rush through and make a mistake. Thank you guys for everything, it was a wonderful experience and truly appreciate the care you took with me.

Fantastic experience: Took my Driving Test here, instructor was very Professional and easy to understand. highly recommend doing your tests here.

Negative experience: I took lessons in Philadelphia. The coach was not helpful and was extremely unprofessional. Kept yelling at me despite me informing him that I am a beginner and have no access to a car for practice. He expected me to start driving like a professional from the very start. I hope the company understands the predicament of students with such instructors. I am more confused and afraid to drive and had to cancel my road test as I lost confidence. I will not recommend taking lessons in Philadelphia from this coach.

Fantastic experience: The office team explained everything over the phone and booked the driving test. The whole call took 10 minutes. We showed up early for the appointment, went around back and took the test, no lines. The tester was clear and pleasant and made us feel extremely comfortable. English is our second language and we were treated as good customers with freindly professionalism! The camera card came in the mail 3 days later! Wow John's, you made a stressful event into a great event! I would give you ten stars if I could!

Fantastic experience: My test administrator was super nice and it was fast and easy.

Fantastic experience: Staff is very nice

Fantastic experience: Very professional and friendly staff. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Successfully completed my driving test today.. 5 Star service.. Very informative and friendly staffs.. I used their own car for the test by paying $51and its very easy to drive & park.

Fantastic experience: Nice driving school. You can rent their vehicle to take driving test. Also can do other DMV services.

Fantastic experience: They were so amazing! The lady in the office was amazing with my children, even printed them coloring sheets, and they can be a handful. The test examiner was amazing as well. Made the test so less stressful. The parking space was clearly marked unlike the DMV. There are lines that you must be within and there is no guessing if your in the allotted space. The staff made the trip easier with their kindness. Defiantly with the money for the exam.

Fantastic experience: John’s Driving School is excellent. I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to improve their driving skills and schedule their licensing test without any hassle. Friendly staff, good location and great service. Thanks! -Mrs. Pace
