Negative experience: Malas técnicas de enseñanza, total pérdida de tiempo y dinero.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hola, Marcela. Lamento que hayas tenido una experiencia insatisfactoria con la escuela. Ahora tenemos una nueva administración y un nuevo personal. Yo soy la nueva propietaria. Obtuve mi licencia de motocicleta a través de esta escuela en 2008. Empecé a trabajar para ellos en 2015. Personalmente, no tuve problemas con el personal, pero algunas de las reseñas cuentan una historia diferente. Uno de mis principales objetivos es cambiar eso. Nuestra misión es ser justos, honestos, amables, educados, compasivos y asequibles, al mismo tiempo que ofrecemos el mejor servicio y los mejores resultados. Por supuesto, esperamos que nuestros clientes nos correspondan siendo respetuosos y razonables también. No estoy segura de qué te llevó a dejarnos la reseña que dejaste. Si tuviste la instructora que creo que tuviste, sé que es una instructora paciente, hábil y eficaz. Tal vez, hubo alguna falta de comunicación y/o un choque de personalidades. A veces, no todos los instructores son para todos los estudiantes. A veces, un estudiante llega y cree que ya sabe qué hacer, por lo tanto, se resiste a aprender. No sé qué pasó aquí, pero sigamos adelante.

Espero que hayas podido obtener tu licencia, incluso si no fue con nosotros. Si, por alguna razón, no la obtuviste, o conoces a alguien que esté tratando de obtenerla, con suerte nos darás otra oportunidad. Ofrecemos lecciones de motocicleta individuales y te llevamos a tu examen práctico. También ofrecemos lecciones de manejo regulares, lecciones de manejo avanzado y lecciones de cambio manual.

Espero que esta respuesta te encuentre a ti y a tu familia con buena salud y ánimo. Cuídate.

Hi, Michael. I'm sorry that you had an unsatisfactory experience with the school. We're under new management now and have new staff. I'm the new owner.

After COVID and due to other situations, we, at least temporarily, stopped offering MSF's Basic Rider Course, but it was still on the website. I hope you were able to go ahead and get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If, for whatever reason, you haven't, or you know someone that's trying to get theirs, hopefully, you'll give us another chance. We offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test.

Negative experience: JP confused me with another rider, had to retake the test and pay more. The other rider did horrible and got his license, I hope that kid still alive today. JP who is perfect can be mean to you if he doesn’t like you. Very condescending and nasty. Horrible experience! The classroom was great and that’s why I give them a star.

Hi, Felipe. I'm sorry that you had an unsatisfactory experience with the school. We're under new management now and have new staff. I'm the new owner.

Of course, we hope our customers will reciprocate by being respectful and reasonable, as well. JP is very passionate about teaching you to be safe on the road and sometimes that comes across as arrogance and rudeness, but it comes from a good place. If he really mistook you for another student and gave the wrong person the certificate, that's a huge mistake. I would need some more information about that. He has moved on though.

At any rate, I hope you were able to go ahead and get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If, for whatever reason, you haven't, or you know someone that's trying to get theirs, hopefully, you'll give us another chance.

Of course, we hope our customers will reciprocate by being respectful and reasonable, as well. We are a bilingual school, so we definitely try to work with people that speak all different types of languages. We make use of Google Translate to interact with anyone. That might not have been the case back in 2019, when you took the course, but rest assured that we're working to make it better.

Brenton Ali 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Taking the MSF BRC1 course was a fun, humbling experience. The classroom experience was fun. The actual riding portion of the class was well taught and the instructors had the patience necessary to deal with my natural lack of motorcycle riding skills. While I thought I was a hopeless case, with plenty of feedback from the instructors, even I was able to pass the riding evaluation (although by the skin of my teeth). After some personal practice riding, I plan to return to take other MSF courses from Trama.

Negative experience: These people are just money hungry. They just want to take your money and not help you at all my wife signed up to take the whole weekend course one of the office lady called in middle of the week for her to come in and Her date was changed without her knowing and my wife got busy with her job and was unable to Make it so. Because of that they canceled her course when we called back and I had asked them we would like a refund they denied it and said we signed their refund policy on top of that they are refuse to just give her the lessons that she had paid for originally because of them. It is better to just go to DMV and go to another driving school and just do it that way less expensive and less stress the whole purpose of this course as for less stress and easy go, but it isn’t.

Negative experience: Not a good experience you try and make it work with your work schedule then they want to keep changing the day like 2 days before and expect you to come and can’t reschedule for a better convenient time and they won’t refund the money back not good customer service. Loss of $350 and can’t accommodate anything not even rescheduling you.

Positive experience: There was only one instructor, JP and he was exhausted having done a twelve hour day. Most MSF courses will have two or more instructors. He’s good. Not the greatest teacher, but a good rider and a good person. I didn’t agree with every aspect of this course and for something that eliminates a road test, it surely teaches you nothing about road riding or negotiating traffic. The course assumes you’re an 1st class driver who can perform under any circumstances in a car and therefore, you can make sound judgement without the steal cage. I wouldn’t tell anyone to take this course. The curriculum is imperfect and the teacher is frustrated. There are a few good practice scenario’s but nothing is thoroughly explained and even less is tested.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, Patrick. I'm sorry that you had an unsatisfactory experience with the school. We're under new management now and have new staff. I'm the new owner. I got my motorcycle license through this school in 2008. I started working for them in 2015. I, personally, didn't have issues with the staff, but some of the reviews are telling a different story. One of my major goals is to turn that around. Our mission is to be fair, honest, kind, polite, compassionate, and affordable, while offering the best service and results. Of course, we hope our customers will reciprocate by being respectful and reasonable, as well. JP is passionate about teaching you how to be safe on the road. According to the reviews, students felt he was a little harsh in his approach, but it comes from a good place. I don't know about how many hours he worked before the class. If it was 12 hours, it definitely wasn't all with the school. The number of coaches depends on the number of students. If there were 6, or less, students there would be 1 coach. 7, or more, students mandates, at least, 2 coaches. Sometimes there would be a trainee or another coach that might help out while waiting for his/her class to start or before leaving.

I disagree that the course doesn't teach you about negotiating traffic. During the exercises where you ride the simulated circuit, we start asking you to watch on your own and decide when it's safe to go. Throughout the class you always have to keep your head up and on a swivel to watch for your classmates. You don't have to be a first class driver, but you have to have some basic knowledge of the road. That's why the course requires your driver's license. No curriculum is perfect. People aren't perfect, so the things that we make won't be perfect. I guess, having things thoroughly explained is a personal thing. Some students would disagree. As far as the testing is concerned, I don't see where you're coming from there. You're ability to observe, think, react, control the bike, stop or swerve suddenly is all tested. What else would you want to test?

I hope you were able to go ahead and get your motorcycle license (you didn't say whether you actually passed or not), even if it wasn't with us. If, for whatever reason, you haven't, or you know someone that's trying to get theirs, hopefully, you'll give us another chance. We currently don't offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons.

Fantastic experience: Great class. JP and Jerry are great. Very through course. I had 0 riding experience (didn’t even know how to turn one on.) JP and Jerry were extra helpful during breaks. I was able to pass the exam. The class was not easy but if you stick to it and absorb the materials and ask questions you should be fine. Highly recommend.

Chris 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took the BRC class last weekend with Jerry, I had ridden about 20 hours prior to taking the class. I really learned a lot, the classroom material was not difficult, and it was very easy to pay attention to. I also learned a lot on the range, I made a bonehead mistake on my final exam and failed, I was granted a free retake and it was easy to set it up for the following weekend where I went back and passed with no issues at all. Between the amount of classes tramas offers year round, the quality of instructors they have and quantity and the quality of the skill and knowledge I learned I would easily recommend tramas to a family member or friend. I'm looking forward to getting out on the road and riding now.

Fantastic experience: Never rode a motorcycle before, enjoyed the class and passed the course. JP is strict but he needs to be, riding is serious business. I would recommend this course if you're able to follow directions and serious about safe and enjoyable riding.

Jherri is most definitely a treasure of a human being and coach, but she has moved on. I'm the new owner. I got my motorcycle license through this school in 2008. I started working for them in 2015. I, personally, didn't have issues with the staff, but some of the reviews are telling a different story. One of my major goals is to turn that around. Our mission is to be fair, honest, kind, polite, compassionate, and affordable, while offering the best service and results. Of course, we hope our customers will reciprocate by being respectful and reasonable, as well. I'd need more information surrounding the thunder storm and the refund situation. Typically, thunder storms are temporary, so we'd just wait it out. I'm not sure why that would garner a refund. There is a refund policy. Refunds are given in certain situations, but not for simple things.

I hope you were able to go ahead and get your motorcycle license (you didn't mention whether you actually passed or not), even if it wasn't with us. If, for whatever reason, you haven't, or you know someone that's trying to get theirs, hopefully, you'll give us another chance. We currently don't offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons.

I hope this response finds you and your family in good health and spirits. Take care.

Negative experience: Dont waste your time nor your money with this school. The women at the office are disrespectful and never answer the phones. I took my class at the ending of April and had to retake the exam. I had to call and chase down the women at the front desk to try and reschedule and they would not answer nor call me. It took my two months to finally reschedule. This place is every disorganized,I was told to come in on a certain day and rudely after trying to find another day to pick up my paperwork to bring to the dmv since the rude woman told me I can not and did not bother to help me around my schedule.They act as if you bother them all the time and as if you didn’t pay $350 for the course. If you’re looking for a school to teach you properly and with at least some respect then do not come here. My boyfriend ended up teaching me how to ride on my own bike since the riding classes were too quick to even learn well and they do not pay you much attention to each rider. Ridiculous, very unhappy, don’t come here.

Fantastic experience: I took the class here for 350 worth every penny I spent ... rob and Jp were great taught me a lot can be stern but riding is serious and I’m pretty sure they’re just worried about your well bein ... I usually don’t write reviews but these guys were great I hope to see them on the road soon ... thanks a million too both of these guys for being great instructors

Negative experience: I got my license so im not bitter but am only giving this 2 stars because I cannot give it a 2.5. The e course is great it teaches u alot you need to know. The in class session is extremely boring and covers about 90% of what's already on the ecourse. Then u have to take a M.C. test. Again, even tho u have taken a permit test from DMV. And passed all the ecourse tests. They drag it like crazy to kill time for what u paid so much for. The facility isn't amazing. The next 2 days you'll be riding. There are a few instructors. The main 1 I had was J.P. completely not a professional (all 12 of us hated him) However Jerry and Mark are amazing!!!!!!! The class is pretty fast paced but you should be able 2 pass the exam. Maybe if they actually told you how u will be graded (in terms how many points u lose for what mistakes) more people would pass, I don't understand why it's a secret. I would ONLY recommend this to u if there's no friend that can teach u properly as a last resort.I just

According to the reviews, students find his approach a little prickly, but it's coming from a good place. At any rate, he has moved on.

I'm sorry that you found the classroom boring and redundant. Unfortunately, most students don't catch on the first time they're introduced to something, so some redundancy is necessary to make sure the information sticks. The tests that you have to take in the class are mandated by the DMV and MSF. That has nothing to do with the school. Those are the same at every school that offers the course. As far as the facilities are concerned, it's a classroom, not a luxury hotel room. I haven't seen any other complaints about that. It's spacious, clean, room temperature, modern media is used, bathrooms are there and also clean. I'm not sure what else you would want for a classroom.

I'm glad you were able to get your motorcycle license. If you know someone that's trying to get theirs, hopefully, you'll give us another chance.

Fantastic experience: Really great school to earn your motorcycle license at. They are extremely professional and patient. Everything is done in a three day process. Wednesday night class is in there home location it’s just like the five hour defensive course but for motorcycles. Saturday you are taught how to start and move your bike. You are also taught how to do slow maneuvers. Sunday you are taught how to do faster maneuvers and figure 8’s. Sunday u are also taught the test and the test is then given if you pass you receive a card on the spot to take to the DMV. Good luck. I had a blast

Fantastic experience: Signed up for the MSF Basic Rider Course in order to get the exam waived at the DMV and receive the class M license if I pass the skills test at the end of the course. As a background, I can ride a bicycle (but haven't rode in a few years) and I can drive an automatic & manual transmission car. I've never rode a motorcycle before but am a bit of a quick learner. Even though I never rode a motorcycle before I felt like the course was great at introducing the basics and most importantly safety skills. None of my friends who ride ever do the safety skills they taught in this class. Marc & JP are both great, are welcoming to questions, and give you tips on what you may be doing wrong. It's ok to fall off (but try not to do so!) as long as you learn from your mistake (I fell once during a braking exercise, so from then on I braked a bit more slowly to not fall again). This was much better & helpful than sloppily learning from my friends and the course can get you discounts so it pays for itself. Your life & safety are worth more than the few hundred you pay. Do NOT take this course if you are sensitive and can't handle any critique while you learn to ride a motorcycle because there are a lot of mistakes you will make when learning and the instructors are simply trying to make sure you don't hurt yourself or others while learning. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: amazing instructors, great way of teaching. loved it here i feel very confident on bikes now that i have taken the course. don't listen to all these negative butthurt reviews. if u plan on taking a course clear your schedule and take it, they have clear rules for missing classes or being late. if you are safe on the range and can follow simple instructions the rider coaches will treat you with a lot of respect, if you are unsafe or arrogant they will take you off the bikes. they have a job and that's safety. marty and JP great job.

Fantastic experience: Motorcycle is a very thrilling yet dangerous, i feel like trama teaches you everything you need to learn to save your life and be a great driver on the road. Their training is vigorous and strict like it should be, because on the road it's you against everyone else & it's no joke because you're life is at stake. They were very good teachers and really prepared me for what came next.

Positive experience: Been riding off & on for over 30yrs & was happy to learn i didnt know as much as i thought i did ;) just hope u bring alot of water...its a long day

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, William. Thank you for your review. I got my motorcycle license through this school in June of 2008. It happened to be one of the hottest weekends of the year, so I can relate. During my class, the owner actually brought one of those big orange Igloo cooler buckets, with the button operated spout, full of ice water, and cups for us. We took a lot of breaks. There were vending machines on site with snacks and Gatorade, which proved useful. If ever in a situation like that again, yes, I would suggest you bring water, healthy snacks, and Gatorade, Powerade, coconut water, or some similar drink with electrolytes. The weather was brutal that weekend, but nobody could control that. The staff, however, wasn't brutal.

When the opportunity came up, I decided to work for them. I started working for them in 2015. Now, we're under new management and I'm the new owner.

If you know someone that's trying to get their motorcycle license, we're still here. We currently don't offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons.

Negative experience: the class was very rushed , not for any true beginner.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi. This is Ikanke, from IkankeLive, Inc. DBA Tramas Auto School. The school is under new management now. I'm the new owner. I see you left us a 1 star review, saying the class was rushed and not for a true beginner. The course isn't for everybody. The MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) tries to structure it in such a way that it would accommodate most people, but different people learn different things differently. For some people, sports may come easier to them. For some, it's math. For others, it may be driving or riding. If something you want to or need to do doesn't come easy to you, it means you're going to need more time, effort, and practice than someone that it comes easy for. Additional lessons (before and/or after) are absolutely a good idea, if you fall into that previous category.

I hope you were still able to get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't through us. If not, please, reconsider us. We don't currently offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons, if you, or anyone you know, needs them.

Fantastic experience: I had a great time learning how to ride. If you can't figure out how to use a clutch, then perhaps you shouldnt ride a motorcycle. It was made clear to me that there would be a test, and that failure means you dont pass. Thats what failure is! Don't see why these people are complaining just because some of the instructors are a little gruff. I plan on going back for their other classes!

GUH REG 8 years ago

Negative experience: I would have to agree with the other reviews. The instructors are not professional and do not treat the attendees with respect. Jerry is cool but JP is arrogant and Marty is simply rude. For a class you paid $350 they treat you as though they're doing you a favor. I would recommend trying somewhere else where the staff values your business. Other attended of the brc shared their displeasure as well. For the record I did pass the course.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, GUH REG. The school is under new management now and has new staff. I am the new owner. I agree that Jherri is amazing! Everyone loves her. I must say, Marty was one of my coaches when I took the course in 2008 and I worked with JP from about 2015 to 2020. I have a different opinion of them from what a lot of the reviews are saying. Just, understand that motorcycling is a dangerous, potentially deadly activity, if you don't take it seriously. That's all Marty and JP are trying to get across. I guess, they don't serve that information smoothly. It's like food that's good for you, but tastes bad, apparently. I'm more from the Jherri camp, where we try to find food that is good for you, but tastes good too. That's what you have to look forward to, going forward, here at IkankeLive, Inc. DBA Tramas Auto School.

I hope you were able to go on and get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If not, or if anyone you know wants their motorcycle license, please reconsider us.

Fantastic experience: The instructors here are extremely knowledgeable and want you to understand the importance of being safe and being experts at the basic skills. Riding a motorcycle is extremely dangerous and they can't teach you everything you need to know to be a good rider after just a weekend so they want to ensure you are familiar with the basics and the importance of being safe.

Negative experience: Don't that this class go somewhere else . they don't tell you don't you at the end of the classroom part that if you don't pass the test you fail the class and they don't explain nothing about the class

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, York. We're under new management. I am the new owner. However, I've worked for the school since 2015. I can't speak for the specific instructors you had, but as far as I know, even before you come to the class, we tell you what you need to pass. You have the written test at the end of the classroom session and the riding evaluation and the end of the riding sessions. You need to pass both to get your certificate, but if you fail either, or both, you get a free re-test. That's discussed before and during the course and is the same across the country. Maybe, it's possible you weren't paying attention or misunderstood something? I know that I, the other coaches I've worked with, and the front desk mention this several times.

At any rate, we don't currently offer the course you took. I hope you were able to go on and get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If not, or if anyone else you know wants their license, we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to the road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift driving lessons. Please, consider us again, as a lot has changed since you've been here.

Negative experience: After reading almost all negative reviews i will go elsewhere.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, Mogul... All negative reviews? We're above 3 stars. That's not good enough for me. We can definitely do better, but we do have several 5 star reviews. Sometimes, when you have a mixed bag like that, you have to be wary of some outliers and experience it for yourself. You could have been on the 4 to 5 star end of the spectrum.

At any rate, we're under new management. I got my license through the school in 2008, started working for them in 2015, and took over this year. A lot has changed. The staff is different. We don't currently offer the MSF course. We do everything one-to-one.

If you haven't gotten your motorcycle or driver's license yet, or know anyone that's trying to get theirs, please reconsider us.

Negative experience: !!NOT FOR TRUE BEGINNERS!!! The beginners motorcycle OR BASIC RIDER course is ideal for those who have some experience with Motorcycles already. "Beginners"course is a misnomer. The riding instructors pace the sessions based on the more experienced students as opposed to those who are true novice. They become frustrated and impatient with those who are true beginners(has zero experience on a motorcycle). Which if you are a true beginner you do not get enough practice time to master each exercise. If you do not pass the initial test you are given an opportunity to take a "re-test." Again if you are a true beginner I suggest you take individual private lessons elsewhere prior to taking the course. Trama Auto does offer private lessons however almost always do not have the availability. Unfortuanately dealing with the very curt, unprofessional front office person isn't a very pleasant experience when attempting to schedule lessons or a re-test. You're spoken to as if you haven't paid for a service they promised to provide. Ridiculous. This is not a very customer oriented/customer friendly operation. You will need to have a very open flexible schedule where you could be available last minute or just days before to schedule the re-test. It appears they are overwhelmed with demand and do not have enough instructors/classes perhaps due to the Nassua Coliseum location closing. While the instructors are very experienced and knowledgeable, there is need for improvement in their instructing / teaching skills. The course it's self covers all the basic skills and is a lot of fun. If you are a true beginner you may want to consider an operation that offers..."AVAILABLE" one-on-one/small group sessions first. You truly need to already have some practical skills going into this BASIC SKILLS/"BEGINNER" course.

Trama's Auto School Inc.

Hi, M. A.. This is Ikanke, from IkankeLive, Inc. DBA Tramas Auto School. The school is under new management now. I'm the new owner. I actually got my license through this school in 2008, started working for them in 2015, and was handed the reigns this year. I see you left us a 2 star review, due to issues with the structure and pace of the course. Understand that we weren't fully in control of the pace and structure. A lot of that is developed and governed by the governing body (the Motorcycle Safety Foundation). We had a little bit of leeway, based on extenuating circumstances, but not a lot. We had to follow their policies, procedures, and guidelines.

You're right, the course isn't for everyone. Some people do need additional training before the course. I even recommend additional training after the course, even if you passed. The MSF recommends further training also. We currently don't offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. I'm not sure who you were dealing with at the front desk, but they were always friendly with me, even before I worked here. Also, I see a lot of reviews, across several platforms, concerning rude coaches/instructors.
You won't see my name mentioned in that regard. I believe that, even though motorcycling is a potentially dangerous, even deadly, activity, you can get your point across without being rude. I feel that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar. You should only be as loud and forceful as the situation requires (for some people, it's necessary, if nothing else has worked). For me, patience and being calm and understanding win the day. At any rate, they're not here anymore anyway. We have new staff.

I hope you were able to get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If you did, congratulations. If, for whatever reason, you haven't yet, or you know someone else that wants theirs, please reconsider us. A lot has changed since you were here. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons, if you or anyone you know wants them.

Thank you. I hope this response finds you and your family in good health and spirits. Take care.

Negative experience: I took the Basic Ridercourse at Trama's Auto School where the riding portion was taken at Queensborough Community College in Bayside. I found the 5-hour evening classroom course at Trama's Auto school to be helpful but would prefer if they split up this course into 2 sessions to make it more manageable (some of us have to work the next day). During the classroom course, you are asked to take a written exam. For whatever reason, you take one at the beginning of the class, and another at the end of the class. I am not sure why this was done but would prefer if they just ask you take the exam just one time. I did not care too much for the riding part as I felt it was too rushed for my noobie skills. There was not enough individual one on one tutoring for those lagging behind. I understand it is fine to be stern during a safety course but there was very little encouraging for folks like me who are total noobies (that is zero experience riding a motorcycle). I would not recommend this course if you are a total noobie. Instead I would recommend a few hours of private motorcycle lessons to build up your skills and confidence before either taking the motorcycle test or the Basic Ridercourse. I am currently taking private lessons at Ferrari Driving School and I find that the one on one tutoring to be more conducive to my learning. Once I feel confident riding a motorcycle, then I will re-take the Basic Ridercourse or just take the NYS Motorcycle Road test. One more thing, I recommend you practice your cycling skills just before starting any motorcycle lessons, especially if you have not touched a bicycle for a few years or so.

Hi, Raymond. This is Ikanke from IkankeLive, Inc. DBA Tramas Auto School. The school is under new management now. I'm the new owner. I see you left us a 2 star review, due to issues with the structure and pace of the course. Understand that we weren't fully in control of the pace and structure. A lot of that is developed and governed by the governing body (the Motorcycle Safety Foundation). We had a little bit of leeway, based on extenuating circumstances, but not a lot. We had to follow their policies, procedures, and guidelines. They weren't fond of splitting the classroom up into multiple sessions. The test in the beginning was a practice test to see what you already knew and where you could improve. It also gave you an idea of what to expect on the real test.

You're right, the course isn't for everyone. Some people do need additional training before the course. I even recommend additional training after the course, even if you passed. We currently don't offer the course that you took, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. I see you were taking lessons with Ferrari. I hope you were able to get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't with us. If you did, congratulations. If, for whatever reason, you haven't yet, or you know someone else that wants theirs, please reconsider us. A lot has changed since you were here. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons, if you or anyone you know wants them.

Thank you. I hope this response finds you and your family in good health and spirits. Take care.

Negative experience: Dealing with this company is no pleasure. The instructor, a man going by the name "JP", started the class late after arguing with a student and took his frustrations out on his instructors-in-training and students. Eventually removed me to save time. The owner, Eric, acknowledged these issues and claimed he would re-mediate the issue with another free class due to the instructors poor performance (probably to avoid disputing charges with the credit card company before the deadline). The staff is rude and will lie (or simply forget) about things if you aren't insistent. There are better schools in NYC.

Hi. This is Ikanke, from IkankeLive, Inc. DBA Tramas Auto School. The school is under new management now. I'm the new owner. I see you left us a 1 star review, because of a particular instructor and what you felt were rude, forgetful, inadequate staff. I apologize for that. Back then, I might have been one of those 'instructors-in-training' you referred to. We will definitely do better, going forward?

I hope you were still able to get your motorcycle license, even if it wasn't through us. If not, please, reconsider us. We don't currently offer that course, but we do offer one-to-one lessons and take you to your road test. We also offer regular driving lessons, advanced driving lessons, and stick shift lessons, if you, or anyone you know, needs them.

I hope this response finds you and your family in good health and spirits. Take care.

Positive experience: 30$ for the 5 hour pre-licensing course (MV-278). Decent place, nice people, time went by pretty fast actually. Most of it was like an actual lesson from the teacher and some of it was a DVD. It was interactive and a good experience overall.
