Fantastic experience: I did my driving lessons with them and they thought me everything I needed to know for the road and for the test. It was a fun experience and sometimes we’d drive to places of my interest. After 3 days of 2 hour sessions I was already driving with my parents. They also scheduled the road test and came with me to the appointment. They’re really nice and patient people and I would always recommend them !

Elshaimaa Abdelrahman, MD 7 months ago

Negative experience: Not recommended at all, very bad experience. I paid for two hours and drove for 1 hour and 30 minutes only ( he came 10 minutes late and ended the session 20 minutes early; and said that time for questions and paying), then when I asked questions he said he had to leave now!! The instructor kept asking me and remind me to pay the fees during the class, he literally repeated that like 4 times ( How am I supposed to pay when I am driving!!) Besides that he had no foundation of driving to teach you, inpatient and don’t know how to teach me correctly! OMG! Very bad expensive experience, On the other side, I took a class with another driver instructor which charged me only half of their fees and giving you the full time exactly and was very patience and know how to teach simply!

Vishnu Krishnaprasad 9 months ago

Negative experience: I had Alex as my driving instructor. He is rude, impatient and grumpy all the time. There's no need to be condescending and rude when answering simple questions. That's literally your job! Half the time he doesn't answer the question. And when he does he's going to make you feel like it's your fault for bothering him with a question. If you want an absolute terrible learning experience and some PTSD on top then go for it. In addition he dozed off during our lesson when I was driving at a main Street. Just, not worth it. All this was even more evident after I took lessons from a few other instructors after him. Every one of them were an order of magnitude better than him.

Issa 10 months ago

Fantastic experience: Amani was an amazing driving instructor and truly helped me pass my road test with confidence! She was so patient and explained everything clearly, making sure I understood each step. Her encouragement and calm teaching style kept me focused and relaxed, even when I felt nervous. Thanks to her guidance and support, I passed my road test—highly recommend her to anyone learning to drive!

William Smith 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I recently completed my driving lessons with Garden City Driving School, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the moment I enrolled, the school demonstrated professionalism, dedication, and a genuine commitment to helping their students succeed. One of the standout aspects of my experience was my instructor, Amany. She is not only an excellent driving instructor but also an incredibly patient and supportive teacher. Amany has a natural ability to make her students feel at ease, which is especially important for those who may be nervous about learning to drive. Her calm demeanor and clear, step-by-step instructions helped me build my confidence behind the wheel. Amany’s teaching style is both thorough and engaging. She took the time to explain every aspect of driving, from basic maneuvers to more advanced techniques, ensuring I understood each concept before moving on. What I appreciated most was her ability to identify my weaknesses and tailor the lessons to address them, which greatly accelerated my learning process. Additionally, Garden City Driving School as a whole is well-organized and offers flexible scheduling, which made it easy for me to fit lessons into my busy schedule. The vehicles used for instruction are modern, well-maintained, and equipped with the latest safety features, which further added to my confidence during lessons. Thanks to Amany and Garden City Driving School.

Badrie S 1 year ago

Negative experience: I had such a bad experience with Amani. I had 8 hours of practice and then at the end i failed the road test. I failed because Amani wasnt patient with me and i felt under pressure when I drove with her. I spent lot of money for nothing. I am sorry but i highly do not recommend this driving school.

Salma Farag 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve had lessons with Amani before. She is very nice patient and makes you feel comfortable. That is why I’ll give this company five stars instead of one. She teaches you everything you need to know all the while being informative. She is also very very patient .

Negative experience: Be careful people !!! This company hires unlicensed instructors which means the person that you’ll be sitting next to is not authorized to instruct you. I asked one of the instructors if he has an instructor license and he literally replied and said “I don’t have one” so I ended up not taking the practice with him. so be careful who’s your son or daughter are sitting next to to get trained. It’s illegal to have your son or daughter practice driving with someone who does not have an instructor license. I highly do not recommend this company.

Steven Shaher 1 year ago

Negative experience: I don’t recommend this company. DO NOT waste your money or time. This company is very bad. I took 10 hours of practice with them for 2 weeks, and I failed the road test after paying a lot of money. And then I went to a different driving school company, and I passed from the first try. Garden city driving school was a waste of money and time. I don’t recommend them!!!!

noah Eder 1 year ago

Negative experience: Dear garden city driving school, My wife jenny recently reviewed her opinion toward you, and you (denied) the fact that you know her and stated that you are unable to locate her. I understand that this is your way to avoid confrontation and to show your customers that there is a misunderstanding . However, there is NO misunderstanding. I have the receipt from you guys and I came to your office and I paid in full. And not only that, I do have some videos on my ring doorbell that shows your company’s car with the name of your company on it when my daughter was picked up for her driving lessons. Note added: by the way, my daughter‘s friend also took 8 hours with you guys and she failed her road test as well with your company. so it’s not just my daughter who had a bad experience and wasted lot of money with your company. I totally do not recommend your company to anyone that I know! Absolutely waste of money and time!

Jenny Rooni 1 year ago

Negative experience: I highly do not recommend this company !!!! My daughter had took many hours of behind the wheel training. I believe she took over 12 hours of training in 2 weeks. She ended up failing the road test 2 times. We spent a lot money for training and My daughter had told me she didn't learn anything at all and that she feels so disappointed. They made my daughter feel discouraged, disappointed, and miserable. The sad part was when my daughter failed the road test the first time, The company did not show her any sympathy at all. no, instead, they asked her when will your next road test be? Of course they want to make money. But this isn't just about money. We spent over $1600 and I just wanted my daughter to learn and become a good driver but with you guys she felt discouraged and disappointed and she never wanted to drive again. Such a waste of money and waste of time.

Fantastic experience: Such a good experience so far, my instructor Ahmad is super patient and nice! I’ve improved so much and I’m only on my second lesson. Thank you!!

Jsi Sar 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had taken 6 hours of driving with the instructor Amani and learned nothing. She barely taught or let me take control of the wheel. I was stressed for my roadtest since I had no actual experience in anything with turns parking, and reversing. I made a last minute appointment with Ahmad and learned more in 2 hours than i did with Amani! Ahmad is very patient and lets you learn while progressively helping you and making sure you practice! His work and help to me is the reason I leave 5 stars.

Lisa Ema 1 year ago

Negative experience: I took my six hours course 3 months ago with an instructor i believe her name was Amani and I did not see any improvement, my driving didn’t get any better. She is unprofessional and I didn’t like her teaching techniques. I don’t think she has a qualification to be an instructor. How do you answer tons of calls and send text messages and you have a new driver sitting next to you and depending on you. like I said she’s very unprofessional

Linaix 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Ahmad was a very nice and patient instructor and in a quick 2 hours l managed to learn how to turn and park and manage the main road so I recommend him for anyone trying to learn how to drive

I highly recommend Ahmad for anyone seeking a reliable and skilled driving instructor, thank you and wish you success Ahmad!

Jesse Gonzalez 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: My experience with Ahmad has been terrific, being a good instructor he is also very friendly. His teaching style consists of repeated repetition, and his reminder of steadfast rules to follow greatly improved my skills in under two hours. Greatly recommend to give Garden City and Ahmad a chance.

Yarison Rivas 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Ahmad, he is a really nice teacher, he teaches you everything you need to know and he is very patient and calm, I recommend him 100% to any student.

Anton Sazonov 1 year ago

Negative experience: Dealing with a grumpy teacher who seems to have stomach issues is akin to handling a perpetually dissatisfied grandfather who's probably made to work because his wife can't stand him being at home. I wouldn't recommend this experience to anyone. I don't want to give advice, but if you're a business owner, it might be wise to look for a new teacher and consider retiring this one.

Nakiyah O 1 year ago

Positive experience: I’ve had lessons with Amani before. She is very nice patient and makes you feel comfortable. That is why I’ll give this company four stars instead of one. She teaches you everything you need to know all the while being informative. She is also very very patient but gets her point across.I’ve also had lessons with Alex. I’d recommend him for male drivers he’s more stern, tone/wording is very aggressive and probably won’t be to comfortable for a female but besides that with him you learn what you need to. Maybe not comfortably but you’ll learn.

S. Hassan 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I am very satisfied with my experience. My instructor, Alex Michael Jordan, is a very calm and nice teacher who asserts strictness when needed. Safety was the number 1 priority throughout the whole course. Although it might seem difficult, when taught in the right way, parallel parking and k-turns are really easy! Highly recommend!

Ivonne Norman 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend!! Specially for learning and regaining the confidence to drive as an adult. I obtained my license almost a decade ago and never touched a car since. Basically had to start all over. Alex has been a great instructor! He is patient, kind and knows how to teach the skills for the long run and explain every detail clearly. Thank you!

I’ve went to two other driving schools before this one and have not had the best experience. This instructor made me feel comfortable and I was able to pass and even help me with the application process after. I’m a satisfied customer. Worth every penny!!

Fantastic experience: I have been to a couple of driving schools but this has been the best one, in this school I have improved twice as much just in a few lessons as a driver thanks to the great teaching I’ve received from Amani. She really pays attention to every detail and her methods of teaching are top class, Would definitely recommend!
