Pagan Driving School

Negative experience: This school is awful. Prices are good but not worth the emotional abuse. Also I was taught the same thing over and over then the day before my road test was taught the rest in a hurry. It makes no sense he made me cry then made me feel bad about it.

Negative experience: El mejor instructor de esa escuela era Salvador ., los demás son animales con ropa pagan ni se diga gracias a Dios que le demostré al animal de pagan que yo si podía siempre me decías tú no vas a pasar en examen le di una galleta sin mano gracias a Dios y a Salvador que el si es verdad que tuvo paciencia conmigo., en el primer intento se lo pase. Ya 4 años con licencia limpia no le recomiendo está escuela a persona con sentimientos por que pagan y los demás se los dañan no tienen paciencia.

Negative experience: Worst school i ever been too thank god they closed for good not worth the money and the dude who owns the place is a nut job dosent tell anything what so ever also has an attitude. i reported them to the dmv..

Negative experience: I'm gonna be honest if this is your first time learning to drive you shouldn't go here, they really aren't patient with new drivers and don't really give you tips on how to improve, when I was learning to drive with pagan he would give me the most basic tips and expect me to get it right away. Most of the time he was silent and you could just feel him holding on to the break not really letting you do anything. I Took around 15 classes with them and it was a waste of time and money. I don't recommend this place

Negative experience: I personally assisted to this school and i get my license by my self . the school failed to prepare me for the road test i recommend not to assisted to this school.

Fantastic experience: First let me say I passed my road test on the first try …I highly recommend this driving school. Mr.Pagan was my driving instructor all the way to the day of my road test. Very patient with new drivers. The lovely lady that does the scheduling was always so sweet and pleasant. Classes are affordable and every dollar was well worth it. Thank you again

Fantastic experience: The 5 hour movie with pagan was very helpful especially how he explains the parking. the same way they teach you in the driving classes is the same way that comes out in the road test love Mercedes how she’s really straight up and tells you while you are driving what you are doing wrong it’s helpful passed my first try. I appreciate them very much they were all really helpful!

Fantastic experience: This is the best plase to go , pagan is the best

Fantastic experience: excellent service the cost is fair and if the teaching is excellent, thanks to them I have my license

Negative experience: Sinceramente no la recomiendo, porque este señor que da las clases crees que le estas pidiendo y trata como animal a las personas. Yo me siento mal porque no lei las reseñas antes de ir a esa escuela. Pero solo algo digo . Lo barato sale caro

Negative experience: No pierda su dinero, está escuela de manejo después que cobra no les importa nada.

Negative experience: If you want to be treated poorly I recommend coming here.. terrible terrible place. They treat you horrible. They expect you to be an expert at driving on your first driving class.

Fantastic experience: I passed my driver’s test on the first try! I definitely recommend taking classes here with Mercedes and Pagan. They were very patient with me and helped me fix little errors that could’ve made me fail the test. Also recommend taking classes consecutively before the test so you’re well prepared.

Fantastic experience: Muy buena escuela de manejo y a muy buen precio

Negative experience: Esta gente son muy MAL educado. No todo el dinero se recive. Tienen que entender que es enseñando que están y deben tener MUCHA paciencia oh cieren su negocio o ponga una perrera que quizás los perro aprendan con utedes. Efrain Pagan es un animal que le habla SÚPER mal a sus estudiantes. Debería de revisarse aver si está acta de lidiar con HUMANOS. Very Bad service. They’re very unprofessional and rude. They need to understand that they’re teaching ,that they need to have patience for it. whoever goes there might not know how to drive, there looking for help and paying for it. so that person needs to be very professional and understandable.

Fantastic experience: Hola allá, Edwin de este lado, de mi parte tengo para decirle que tengo muy buena experiencia, con ellos, están muy atento y te enseñan bien.. Yo pase el examen. después de no pasarlo en otra 2 veces con escuela diferente. Pero un punto tomar en cuenta. Mucha veces no estamos preparado mentalmente, ni emocionalmente. Para cojer el examen. Aun cogiendo mucha práctica,, las personas que van a cojer el examen tienen que tener un balance. Emocionante y mentalmente para dar ese último paso.. porque la mayoría de lo caso los nervios traicionan. Y así se le evita dar malos reviews a las escuelas de manejar. Yo por poco me quemo. Pero era por los nervio. Pero gracias a dios la pase. Y ay que dejárselo saber al examinador. Mientras esté dentro del carro con el respirar profundo. Y cojer te tú tiempo..

Negative experience: Los dueños son dos mal educado y mal hablao te tratan peor que a un Perro , No tienen paciensia para Liriar con los clientes y si cometes un error te critan y te hablan SUPER MAL , yo page por un paquete de 5 clases y apenas coji 2 y no creo que termine las otras 3 !!!!! La mala vibra que ellos ( Los Due’no ) cargan hace que tu te sientas incomoda y de mal humor igual que ellos NO GASTEN SU DINERO NI SU TIEMPO NO VALE LA PENA!!!!

Fantastic experience: My instructor Mr.Pagan was very professional and very helpful I got my license in my first road test, very recommended, the prices were also reasonable.

Negative experience: This is the WORST driving school there is. My daughter had a horrible experience. I told my co-workers and friends not to take lessons with Pagan Driving School. The good and excellent reviews that are posted are NOT from clients. The instructor Mercedes and Mr. Elliot Pagan, the owner were unprofessional and disrespectful. Had no patience when my daughter asked if she could practice the parking, he would say, I don’t have time to be repeating myself. He displayed a NASTY attitude. Ms. Mercedes would bang the dashboard, scream and yell if a correction was needed. How HORRIBLE!! I paid for 5 lessons. It was a waste of money and time. It hurts me that I recommended this mediocre school to my daughter. She went to another school and passed her road test on her first try. My son will be going some place else for his driving lessons.!!

Negative experience: Not a place for beginners. Treat you as if they're the reason you exist. No etiquette. I was very excited to learn, however I became so turned off by the attitude of my instructor. I only went through with my lessons, because my husband payed for them. Still baffled. Be aware!

Fantastic experience: Gente profesional muy educada respetuosa y con grandes descuentos y sirviendo a la ciudad de NY gracias por sus servicios y les recomiendo a los nuevos Driver

Negative experience: Esta esculea es horrible .. no espilcan no ensenan . no pierda su tiempo y dinero. Pagan el dueno es un rudo , mal educado - worse driving school they don't teach you what you need to know to pass . Pagan the owner/instructor is super rude

Negative experience: Not professional at all

Negative experience: They take your money and they don’t focus on the things that you need to know, they are not patient especially the lady, this school is a waste of time and money. If this is your first time driving this school is not for you. Salvador is the only one that really cares, professional and patient but he just gives classes on Saturday, and I will not learn anything taking just one class in a week. They need to have more people like him (Salvador) dedicated and patience, easy to learn with Salvador but he just gives classes on Saturday. The only thing that I can say is that this school is one of the worse school.

Fantastic experience: Excelente servicio. Buenas personas, especialmente Mercedes. Recomiendo el lugar, si realmente hay ganas y disposición para aprender.

Fantastic experience: Excelente sus consejos y regaños jaha

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! I took the test and passed on my first try. I had Pagan as my instructor and he taught me the essentials to pass my test. If you want to hear the truth in order to be well prepared I'd reccomend this driving school! The driving packages are the most reasonable I found and they made me feel prepared. We were taken to the road test site which saved us the hassle and stress of traveling there alone. Thank you Pagan & the staff :)

Fantastic experience: My instructor Mercedes was extremely helpful, gave me wonderful tips and was beyond pleasant thanks to Mercedes I passed my drivers test and got my license I’m grateful for having a good instructor like her!

Fantastic experience: Los mejores Dios los bendiga

Fantastic experience: My instructor Mercedes was very professional and I got my license in my first road test, very recommended, the prices were also reasonable

Fantastic experience: Muy buena escuela aprendí mucho y pasé mi examen en la primera muchas gracias a Mercedes mi instructora por ayudarme tanto.

Negative experience: The previous people who left reviews are right... unfortunately I didn’t do my research before starting to take classes. They didn’t make me feel comfortable at all. My instructor who was the lady(i know her name, I just don’t want to say it) was negative most of the time and was not patient. Yesss it is true that she was on her phone and even called people instead of paying attention and helping me. I also did sense that she was putting her foot on the brake a lot and sometimes she would blame me for it when my foot wasn’t even pressing the break! She was also very confusing with her terminology and the steps that I had to do. Please don’t do it to yourselves!!!

Negative experience: Worst driving school ever. They yell at you when you are just trying to learn to drive. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE Peor escuela para aprende a manejar. Te gritan cuando tas aprendiendo a maneja. VETE A OTRA ESCUELA

Positive experience: My driving instructor Salvador was very professional and made sure I was safe at all times. On the day of my road test Pagan dropped me to the location and waited until I was finished and drove me back to the school. I passed on the first try; very grateful for the lessons I received. I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Acudí a pagan driving school por medio de mi amiga que me la recomendó, ya que tuvo una buena experiencia y pasó su test. Mi experiencia fue muy buena me ciento muy agradecida con mercedes que fue mi instructor, por toda la paciencia que ella tuvo conmigo y por el ánimo que ella me daba , ya que al principio pensaba que no podía hacerlo, pero con Dios y la ayuda de mercedes lo logré y me siento muy feliz por que logré una de mis metas. Así que les recomiendo mucho esta escuela a los que están interesados en sacar su licencia de conducir, es muy buena.

Negative experience: I’m just gonna say... the instructor told me to show your belly (I’m prego) maybe they’ll feel bad for you and give you the license... like really?! The overall experience was not good, wouldn’t recommend

Negative experience: This school is horrible don't waste your time. They are so disrespectful always on their phone nasty attitude and always pushing on the breaks. Also Mercedes is super negative she said "Good luck you ain't gonna pass the route test" and guess what I GOT IT !!!!!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Los intructores muy professionales auque al principio me parecio que eran odiosos y de mal genio pero luego confirme que no. Si volveria a elegir eligiria esta escuela.

Fantastic experience: Great driving school. Mercedes is amazing, very respectful, friendly, and helpful.

Negative experience: Worst driving school ever. Pagan the owner is cold. He doesn't get you prepared for road test, just wants you to do around. Wants you to do what he wants you to do. Takes you unnecessary places. Don't waste your money. If you are a first time driver, never driven a car before this isn't the school for you.

Fantastic experience: Amazing driving school, very respectful great teacher great pricing Package. Mr Pagan and his 30years of experience are what we all need for driving classes.

Negative experience: If I could give this place a zero I would. I had bought a pakage for 10 driving lessons. While taking them my instructor had change 4 times and each of them telling me different things. The instructors I had told me I was ready after finishing all of the lessons. I went the day they assigned me and took a day off school to go at 6:45. After waiting in their office for almost an hour I finally went. When it was my turn to take the test I was told I could not because I still had not had 6 months with my license. I went back and they scheduled another appointment, them claiming I would pass but I did not. I then bought more lessons plus the road test with was $70 for one test and $30 for each of the lessons. I failed again after being told I would 100% pass. I then took more classes and decided to take it again still failing. Each time I was told I would pass and did not. I gave them the slip DMV gave me saying I failed everytime and they said they would help me. After I gave them my money and wasted my time multiple days ago they just decided to tell me that I wanted to rush my appointment so they could not fully prepare me. Do not trust them. They will send you unprepared and tell you that it's your fault.

Fantastic experience: Mr.Pagan really was great... he showed me exactly what i needed in order to pass the test.... practicing with him was a great experience on how to drive safe... i wont forget the things he taught me!

Fantastic experience: Well let me start off with I GOT MY LICENSE ON MY FIRST TRY when I read the reviews online about Pagan being militant I thought to myself, hey I want someone that's not gonna play games and actually teach me what I need to know (he was actually a nice person). So I went on and bought the package with 5 lessons. After my 4th lesson I asked Mr. pagan if I should purchase more classes and his response was (if you have someone teaching you at least 2-3 times a week outside of taking your lessons with me then no but if you don't and you want to pass I would suggest you get 5 more lessons). I went on to purchase 5 more and he was right!!!! After purchasing the 5 more i perfected my turns, my parking became more comfortable to do and he helped me shake off the nervousness I had. Mr. Pagan prepares you to become a great driver and that is what he did with me. After my 8th lesson I was confident enough to move my boyfriends car out of a parking space and park it 2 blocks away BY MYSELF he was shocked. Mr. Pagan was patient, understanding and very very resourceful for me to learn what I needed to learn to get my license on the first try. If you want your license and looking to be taught everything you need to know then go to Pagan. I have already recommended my sister, cousin and 2 friends!

Negative experience: If you dont want to waste your money dont go to this school!!! and if your a first time driving i advise all of you This isnt the school for you!! . The worst experience ever!!! They made you so uncomfortable. The first instructor Luis didn't have any patients and yelled. Msde me nervous. I changed the instructor to the owner Pagan, he didn't speak to you would get total upset when you made a mistake and didn't teach everything that is required to take the road test. I repeat dont waste you money your energy or your time.

Positive experience: The place is ok if you have some experience driving and just need more practice. Pagan is a knowledgeable instructor but his attitude is his biggest downfall. His attitude is inconsistent. He just lets you drive around and yells at you if you make a mistake. He sometimes has a very careless attitude. Luis on the other hand is patient and gives you pointers on how to become a better driver.

Negative experience: Horrible communication

Negative experience: Worst experience ever. So when I decided I want to take driving lessons I started looking into driving schools there so much school to choose, but I always saw pagan cars driving around with students. I assumed it must be good. Long story short if you want to get yelled by the instructors go to pagan driving school. They expect you to drive with no experience.NO PATIENCE from the lady forgot her name and deff from Pagan who is the owner.

Fantastic experience: Passed on first attempt!!!. Louis was my instructor. Yes!!!, he did teach me like it was a military school, and kept correcting me at almost everything. At some point it started getting to me. But hey, If he doesn't act like this, how will I ever notice how grievous such mistakes will be? Well, thanks to him, I passed. I just imagine it was still him sitting next to me, and that I wanted to avoid him correcting me. And behold I passed on first attempt with minor error - which Louis also kept pointing out during my driving class.

Fantastic experience: If you want to pass your test the first time come to this school ive never drove before coming to this school but Luis was a good teacher. Highly recommended. Good prices for the packages.

Negative experience: Instructor based hour long driving classes started 10 minutes late and ended 15 minutes early. Pagan a tactless instructor, preoccupied by his phone. No instruction, constructive criticism, just hard and sudden breaks whenever he decided to look away from his phone.

Fantastic experience: Pagan driving school has the best instructors of the world; I am astonished. I only took a few lessons and passed the test the first time as easy as 1-2-3. Pagan driving school is marvelous!!!

Fantastic experience: Pagan is the best driving school proven, about 15 years ago they helped me get my driver's license. I had never driven a car in my life at all, the teacher I had taught me how to drive perfectly and guided until the day I passed the road test. This year they helped my wife also a new driver with no experience, she passed the road test this week on her first try. Would recommend them to anybody in a heart beat. Thank you Pagan!

Fantastic experience: hands down the best driving school uptown. Pagan was my instructor and he was patient and taught me what I needed to know for my road test. Highly recommend !!!
