Drive-A-Rama Auto School

Fantastic experience: I just got done with my road test and passed. Joanne and Christine are very friendly and very patient with you. They make you feel confident and safe when you're driving. If you're looking for a good spot to practice driving it's definitely with them.

Fantastic experience: Friendly, courteous family run business that will give you the knowledge and skills you need to pass your road test. Their pricing is very affordable and competitive relative to other schools. Their cars are new and in good condition, perfect to learn on. The office staff are also helpful, friendly and will keep you up to date on your appointments and all needed information. Definitely recommend.

Negative experience: Dirty car, weird instructors, awful. Waste of money, waste of time. These people are dirty and awful at what they do. Fake reviews, and bad service.

Fantastic experience: I had the best learning experience with the instructors. They were patient, informative and made sure I was equipped with everything I needed to pass my road test. Thank you for the amazing experience!

Fantastic experience: I had an excellent experience with Drive A Rama. From start to finish, the process was seamless and professional. The instructors are incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and supportive, making learning to drive feel stress-free. They take the time to explain every detail, ensuring you feel confident behind the wheel. The lessons were well-structured, covering everything from basic manoeuvres to advanced driving techniques. I especially appreciated how they tailored the sessions to my pace and comfort. I highly recommend Drive a Rama and teaches Christina and Joanne to anyone looking to learn how to drive safely and effectively.

Fantastic experience: This is an amazing driving school that truly sets you up for success. Their preparation for the driving test is thorough, and they ensure you feel confident behind the wheel. Joanne and Christina are phenomenal instructors – patient, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive. They go above and beyond to teach safe driving habits and make every lesson valuable . Highly recommend this school to anyone looking to ace their test and become a skilled driver.

Fantastic experience: instructor ( Christina) is very patient and friendly! She did her best to help me pass the test , she even gave me a candy before the road test and that was very nice . I highly recommend this driving school !

Fantastic experience: Great business for preparation for the road test. These will be the nicest instructors anyone will probably ever have and they will also make sure to properly teach you to pass the exam!

Fantastic experience: It is a really good driving school. Both of my instructors were very patient and helpful. I really learned a lot. I would really recommend this school.

Fantastic experience: These two women-Chrissy and Joanne gave me an opportunity to learn every detail of driving. I used to be afraid of driving but with them this fear disappeared. I passed my road test today in Starret city, which is the most challenging road test sites in Brooklyn. Christine was with me and she was very supportive and very nice. Thank you so much, girls! I would love to recommend your driving school to my friends.

Fantastic experience: Both instructors ( Joanne and Christina) are very patient and friendly! They even offer me beverages during every lesson to ease my nervousness, especially during the hot summer weather now. They have such a cute and adorable mother daughter relationship!! They truly care about the students learning, and take their time helping the student driver feel comfortable in getting ready to be great drivers. I highly recommend this driving school. I wish I could give this school a 10/10 star rating!

Fantastic experience: I had a bad experience with another driving school, but Drive-A-Rama Auto School made my dream possible: getting my driver's license. I am very happy. At Drive-A-Rama there are no teachers, they are angels. With much love, respect and experience. 100% recommended. My son will be the next to attend this wonderful school. Thanks to the entire A-Rama team.

Fantastic experience: Took my road test and lesson with them and it was very worth it. The lesson prepared me for everything on the test and left me no surprises which helped me a lot to pass.

Fantastic experience: Great place! Just took my road test and easiest thing ever!! Lessons are awesome and they are the sweetest! 10/10 Recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I recommend this driving school. I was with another student and Joanne (one of the instructors) during my driving test, and we both passed the test first try. The other student said that every he failed the driving exam with other schools, but passed when he went to this school. The instructors are very nice, friendly, and understanding. I had Christina as my instructor, and she was super informative and helpful. She pointed out my mistakes, and I quickly corrected the mistakes with her help. Drive-A-Rama will call you the day before the lesson which I think is a nice thing. I also love how the school allows you to drive back to your place. I am not sure how other schools work, but Drive-A-Rama is the school I would recommend to anyone! I even referred a few of my friends to the school, and a few of my family friends also asked about it. Although in my experience, the lessons tend to be later than scheduled. For example, if you have a lesson at 3:15pm, they will arrive around 3:30pm or 3:45pm. However, as long as you are adaptable and do not mind, it will be worth it. Also, the instructors will treat you out if you passed the exam with their own money. I am forever grateful for them and wish them the best!

Fantastic experience: this school really helped me learn how to drive they take it easy and give you so much love. and they make sure you pass no matter what.

Fantastic experience: I am very happy that I chose to learn the car with 2 very professional ladies. With only 10 hours of practice, I managed to get my license. I thank them very much for the fantastic work they did with me.

Fantastic experience: I spent the last few months or so at Drive-Rama & I finally got my license. Both driving instructors were patient and understanding. They are also open to listen and help improve your mistakes. I had previously went to another school before and I wish I went to this school from the beginning but overall I recommend.

Fantastic experience: Joanne and Chrissy helped me every step of the way and gave me all the help I needed to pass the driving test. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service loved dealing with them they did a great job getting my son ready for his road test he passed it with ease

Fantastic experience: Took 7 classes with Joanne and Chrissy; did not think I would pass with only five classes, and the office managed to schedule in last-minute classes before my road test. I never felt more prepared and assured. They have such a warm and kind demeanor when teaching new drivers; it is obvious how much they care. Many thanks to Drive-a-rama for turning my longstanding fear of driving into an exciting adventure.

Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a driving school, I recommend Drive-A-Rama. Thanks to Chrissy and Joanne, I passed on the first try. In the beginning, I wasn't as confident as I am now, but Chrissy was always patient with me. She would give words of encouragement which helped boost my confidence. I'm glad I chose them.

Fantastic experience: I’m so thankful for the patience and professionalism of Joanne and her team. My son tried to pass his driving test, two times prior but wasn’t successful till he came to Drive-A-Rama Auto School. I % recommend this school and will refer them to Friends and Family.

Fantastic experience: I am very glad I picked the Drive-A-Rama Auto School. Joanne and Chrissy explained everything very well, and thanks to their calm manner, I overcame the fear of driving. Initially, I purchased five classes package, but I didn't feel comfortable yet to take the road test, so I added additional two classes before the exam. If you are new to driving like me, I recommend more than five classes because getting comfortable with the car takes a while. I had the last two classes with Joanne, and she is an angel. I could see she genuinely cared about me doing well on the driving test. I got a few points off, but I passed on the first try. The Inspector in Maspeth was very sharp but not rude or anything like that. Be prepared that they are too amiable. Anyhow, the Drive-A-Rama Auto School team is the best and will do everything for you to succeed. Good luck!

Fantastic experience: I took 5 classes here , absolutely loved it Joanne and Chrissy were so so sweet and so nice and taught me a lot also took my driver test passed my first time ! 100% recommend it :)

Negative experience: *DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!* I NEVER write reviews, so to be writing this is extremely unfortunate. Unfortunately, this stuff happens and I am just expecting my refund for this disastrous miscommunication. I scheduled 4 highway lessons and paid the full amount up front September 23rd. I was told I would not be able to start taking classes until November, due to it being a booked since it was after everything reopened from COVID. My first lesson was fine, although the lady kept calling my father's number even though I am a grown woman who only put him as an emergency contact. After the first lesson I gave the lady my number on a piece of paper so she would not call my dad. A couple of days before my second lesson the school called me and told me my instructor was hurt and that they did not know how long she would be out so I would need to make up my lesson. I was told the office would call me back to schedule the lesson I missed due to the instructor's injury. However, I NEVER received a phone call to make this lesson up nor was I EVER informed that she was recovered. SO even AFTER I gave the instructor MY phone number she still called my dad ONE HOUR AFTER my lesson for December 6th was scheduled. Of course since I did not receive the call BEFORE my lesson was scheduled I was under the impression the lady was still hurt. She asked me 1 HOUR AFTER the scheduled time if I would still want to take the lesson that day and I said no I would rather make it up, because my hair was wet and I did not schedule a lesson for 4pm it was scheduled for 3pm. I have the call log on my phone to prove this. So fast forward to December 20th when I had another lesson scheduled and nobody ever came to pick me up nor did I receive a phone call. So after the constant poor communication I came in today December 30th at 11:30am to ask for a refund for the 3 lessons I never took. The lady that was there was nice about it and apologized to me and told me that I would be called back by 5:30pm. Of course it was 6:00pm and I did not receive a call so I went in person. The woman there was off putting and tried to blame me and even said I would have to be charged for the lesson that I didn't take because I said "my hair was wet." However, the instructor called me 1 hour after my lesson was scheduled, so I had washed my hair after a long day of work because nobody had come to pick me up or call me at the appropriate time. This business has no regard for people's time or money. So now I have to go again in person and hopefully this issue will get resolved ASAP. I chose this school because it's lessons were cheaper than San Juan Auto School in Knickerbocker, but now I see why. At least at San Juan they are professional and call you a day before each scheduled lesson just to confirm. I want to speak to somebody that can get me my REFUND for the 3 lessons I never took, because I have NO INTEREST in doing business with this company.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience with this mother-daughter team of driving instructors. Very caring and kind, took all possible precautions through COVID-19. They were thorough and taught our teen everything necessary to become a careful and defensive driver. She passed her road test after just ten lessons and felt very comfortable during instructions. Great local business! Thank you again for everything!

Fantastic experience: I love their professional attitude very helpful Mother and Daughter . I know them since i lived previously at 6830 Forest Avenue . I recommend their services . They are great !

Fantastic experience: Loved everything about the school! The classes were great because of the communication. I would recommend everyone to take classes from here. They really helped me feel confident about driving and get my license! Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Recommended for everyone around the area. Really flexible schedule. I had emergency in one the class and overslept another one. And they tried to help me out and made space in their busy schedule when I said I am in rush to have the licence. I had classes with Joanne (the mother), she is very nice, and she will teach you wholeheartedly everything that help you not only pass the test but safe driving Rosana and Christine are very nice and kind as well. . Pass on first try with 3-4 lessons

Fantastic experience: Great driving school. Super friendly service and classes very easy to schedule. 100% Recommended!

Fantastic experience: Excellent driving school!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with them. The instructor was good. She explained everything that was needed. Scheduling was a breeze. I passed my test. Thanks to their great service. I would definitely recommend this place.

Negative experience: Despite all these great feedbacks which I am sure are rigged, I must leave the truth. First they are not good instructors, not sure how they got their licenses, second, the car is a total mess. They have food spewn here and there in their car. I saw my instructor actually pick up an old dirty French Fry and eat it, almost made me gag. I guess that is part of the survival lesson if you get stuck somewhere and have no food. That really turned my stomach. Please look elsewhere, do your research and I am sure you will find a school much better than theirs. Good luck.

Fantastic experience: The teachers were fabulous I couldn’t thank them enough !!! So helpful and understanding!!!!

Fantastic experience: This driving school set me up for success. It was such an easy scheduling process and they are very flexible. The instructors are very thorough and patient. As a new driver, I took five lessons and passed my road test on my first try! My instructor even bought me a donut and a coolatta after my test. I was very happy with this school and would recommend it to everyone else.

Positive experience: The place is great. Amazing service my son passed his road test the first time. Much recommended

Fantastic experience: This place is beyond amazing. The instructor is a little old lady who is CRAZY SWEET I LOVE HER. And she has the best and easiest tips to pass your road test, I only took two classes with her and I passed my road test and now I teach my friends and family just once using her tips and they have all passed so far! I highly recommend coming here!!

Fantastic experience: They are amazing they helped me to much

Fantastic experience: The instructors are more than amazing. They are very helpful and very very patient. Without the help of this school, I would never have gotten my liscense. They are the best driving school ever.

Fantastic experience: They’re amazing. Don’t listen to what anybody tells u abt them, I’ve personally experienced how amazing there are. They’ve taught me every single possible thing to pass my exam from the first time. I’d definitely recommend them and wish you good luck on your exam.

Fantastic experience: I was a new driver and didn't have a clue what I was doing at first. When I walked in, I was greeted by Rosana, and she is just a ball of sunshine. Always welcoming and kind to you while you wait. Joanne and Christine are the best instructors I've ever had. I learned easily with them and treated with respect and was able to pass my test on the first try. I would recommend them to everyone I know. The price was fair, and the scheduling was easy. They even dropped you home or picked you up. Great place.
