Fantastic experience: Great service! Excellent instructor Amada
Negative experience: Want to give 0 star or even negative. Very bad service. The instructor was more than an hour late and when he finally came, he did not seem sorry at all for that. Would not recommend at all.
We sincerely apologize for this. We have addressed the issue and it will not happen again. We're working with any customers involved to make up for the inconvenience and assure you that we will do our best to earn back our reputation for delivering outstanding service.
Fantastic experience: Aldo is a good man and teaches a great class
Negative experience: Booked and paid for the 8 hours lesson on Dec. 17th and 18th over the phone, the lady was very helpful and answered all my questions, the nearest lesson to me from hartford was Manchester so i took it. The next day i recieved an email from the next school telling me that the lesson has been canceled due to weather conditions and i have to call them to reschedule, so i called and guess what??? They told me we have a class that will start on the 25th and 26th and its gna be in dunbury?? I told her u must be kidding me this is not acceptable i have a driving test on the 30th and the location is too far from me, she replied sorry there is nothing i can do,and if you dont like it we will return you your money. You wasted my time, you didnt even try to help me, it was easy for you to return back my money rather than showing some effort. What happened to customer service.
Hi Loai-
Sorry to hear about this experience. You are caught in a perfect storm of unfortunate, as the snow caused a cancellation, the holidays have us closed the next two weekends, and we are up against your test date. In most cases in Hartford, we have classes available 7 days/week, but at this time, we do not. We wish you luck in finding a course that does work for your schedule and apologize that we were not able to offer it.
-Brandon, CEO, The Next Street
Negative experience: Says they're open. When you get there the doors are locked and it tells you to call for appointment. Careful you don't waste time.
Hi Kee- Sorry that you went down to the classroom. In order to keep our costs low, and your prices low, we do not staff our classrooms with admin staff. We do however have a support staff that is ready to help answer any of your questions. Give us a call and we will be happy to get you going. Sorry Again.
-Brandon, The Next Street.
Fantastic experience: Jessica Ortiz makes the most interesting n interactive sessions ... Definitely recommended

Happy to hear that Jeselyn! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.
Positive experience: I liked how small and intense the learning environment was because I was able to ask many clarifying questions and answer a lot as well. However, there should be earlier classes though, from 4:30-6:30 PM maybe.
Thank you Dayjara! Glad you enjoyed the class. Good point regarding the 4:30 - 6:30 class. Might be a time slot we can add in the future. Drive safe!
Negative experience: The lessons fill up so fast, you'll get one lesson in January and the next one in March. The Hartford office is lacking in terms of what the other offices as well. Information is not consonant between instructors. Classrooms are overbooked- weekend classroom instruction in Hartford is packed and some have to sit on the floor. Go to another school if you are in a hurry to get your license. Otherwise wait 6 weeks in between road lessons. I wont be continuing with All-Star. Took 4 months to schedule 7 lessons... and I still have one pending.
Denise - very sorry for any issues you ran into during your time with us. We take our program seriously, and never want a customer to be unhappy. If you can e-mail me at [email protected] with the best number to reach you, I'll be happy to get this sorted out. Again, sincere apologies.
Negative experience: i gave em 1 star because that was the lowest ..my son had a day scheduled to do his 8 hours of drivers ed and no one showed up.had to loose time off work ..when i called on monday the woman was like a robot no apology at all after i explained to her how upset and disappointed i ws and i wanted a manager t call me back of course no one ever did .. dont go here
Chance,
Sincere apologies! If you can e-mail me at [email protected] with the best number to reach you, I'll be in touch first thing and will make sure we get this sorted out for your son. We take our program and service quality very seriously, and feel terrible that we fell short for you.
Fantastic experience: Great Experience! I wanted to learn how to drive a stick shift in a hurry. I signed up for the Manual Shift Training and had the lesson on a Monday, and three days later I walked into Bertera Subaru and purchased a 2015 WRX STI. My instructor, Dean Evans, was fantastic! By the end of the three hour lesson I had the confidence and knowledge I needed, and could not imagine why I waited 52 years to learn how to drive a stick shift. I'm happy to say that the last time I spoke with my agent at Bertera, they've already recommended All-Star Driving School to another client who doesn't know how to drive a stick shift but also has dreams of getting behind the wheel of a six speed manual transmission WRX STI. Thank you Christine, Hector, Dean, and all of the other staff members at All-Star Driving School who made this a totally fun and worth while learning experience!
Fantastic experience: Class was a breeze and the instructor was really nice. location is conveniently located and for the price they were offering (99$) a steal.
Fantastic experience: taking the classes was a great experience for me, loved the teachers. Also the classes aren't that expensive and are well worth going to. thank you Dan Herbert.
Fantastic experience: All-Star was a great experience. The instructor was both knowledgeable and personable. He made it an interactive experience and was open to questions and discussion. There was a great deal of information presented, but it was not made to seem overwhelming.
Fantastic experience: All Star Driving school has been an amazing experience. The class was so fun to go to, I actually looked forward to going every tuesday and thursday. The teacher was awesome !! We learned so much and had fun:) Im actually sad I finished all the classes I enjoyed going so much. I recommend All Star to everyone, you will not be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: Attended the driver 8 hour adult training class. Fantastic instructor - Dan Hebert. Very engaging, interesting and informative. They played instructional videos to teach various concepts of driving which was a great help.
Fantastic experience: I'm glad I chose to attend this driving school. The location is convenient and the classes aren't boring. The instructor is very outgoing, making the classes enjoyable but informative. We don't sit there watching videos all class long, the instructor actually teaches and knows what he is talking about. I would recommend this driving school to anyone who is looking to attend one.
Fantastic experience: I'm taking the 30-hr course and it's not nearly as boring as you would think. I know lots of schools just make you sit and watch videos the whole time but at all-star the class is actually interactive, and the instructor is very helpful and is an excellent teacher.
Fantastic experience: Instructor was friendly and genuinely cared for his students' safety on the road. The 8 hr. course was not as boring and long as you would think with instructor Dan.
Fantastic experience: This was My First Experience at all star driving school , it was the best , i would refer other people to go there for driving school . D.Duprey
Fantastic experience: This is a really good driving school, the teacher is outgoing and is really helpful.
