Fantastic experience: My son and I enjoyed this driving school very much. The instructor was very thorough with my son with both safety and instruction especially in weather conditions during scheduled classes. The testing instructor was aware if my son could handle being nervous out in traffic and how he would respond and remember what he was supposed to do. I highly recommend this driving school to anyone who is learning to drive. I appreciate these kind, talented instructors. Thank you John's driving school for giving my son confidence and knowledge out on the road!
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience!
Fantastic experience: I had my road test today with Marc as my examiner, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the moment we started, Marc was incredibly kind and made sure I felt completely at ease. He created such a calm and relaxed atmosphere, which really helped me focus and feel confident during the test. It’s rare to meet someone who genuinely cares about making others comfortable, especially in situations that can be nerve-wracking. Marc isn’t just a great examiner—he’s a genuinely nice human being. If you’re nervous about your road test, trust me, with Marc, you’ll feel relaxed and supported the whole time. Thank you, Marc, for being so patient and encouraging. It truly made all the difference!
Fantastic experience: Best driving test I’ve experienced, you’ll definitely feel comfortable here!!!
Fantastic experience: My daughter and I had an extremely positive experience after a negative and traumatic experience at the DMV. The instructors here were calm, understanding, and reassuring, and we would HIGHLY recommend using this service!
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at John's driving school. I failed the test a couple times before at the dmv because of the parallel parking and I was so nervous. The instructor at John's driving school was very reassuring and made me feel more calm. The parallel parking was the first thing I did and it was easier after that and I finally passed the test!
Negative experience: No instructors in this area... I'll spend my 2k somewhere else, I guess....

Fantastic experience: Mack is the absolute best. Made me feel very comfortable and relaxed my test anxiety. He is an excellent instructor and is more interested in your comfortability and safety when driving. Could not recommend more!
Negative experience: Brought my daughter in law in for her test after she had lessons with John’s. She was very nervous and failed her test. Lessons were a complete waste of money. She’s defeated and depressed. Sad. Thought the goal here is to teach…this definitely was not a teaching moment for her
Pa Girl, We're sorry your daughter-in-law was unsuccessful and understand your disappointment however expressing your frustration in this matter will not change the result. As Pennsylvania's largest Private Driver Training School licensed by the PA Dept. of Education and a PennDOT Certified Third Party Testing Center for the As Pennsylvania's largest PA Department of Education Private Driver Training School and a PennDOT Certified Third Party Testing Center for Class C Non-Commercial Driver's License Exams, our Licensed Instructors and Examiners provide a comfortable environment to reduce the stress and nerves that many experience behind the wheel and during exams; unfortunately we cannot be held responsible for her nerves.

Negative experience: Different instructors will teach parking differently and will fail you if you use someone else’s technique. Do not recommend. Will take your money and run Edit response to- maybe if that was explained on site and the instructor was not a jerk about it on a Friday afternoon I would not have left such a review.
Garrett, Good afternoon. I am sorry for misunderstandings. As a PennDOT Certified Third Party Testing Center for the Class C Non-Commercial Driver's License exam we follow all program rules and requirements. Being completely inside of the parallel parking boundary line/box is one of those requirements. The Examinee has 3 total reverse maneuvers to successfully get the vehicle completely inside of the parallel parking box without tapping or hitting any cones. The vehicle may not be on the line once done. The reason for being unsuccessful had nothing to do with how, who, or what technique was taught or learned. If you have any questions please call and ask for the Operations Manager at 215-295-8014.

Fantastic experience: What a great professional experience! My daughters first test was at the DMV in Shillington. The guy performing the test was very unprofessional!! First stop sign there was a tree truck with branches coming out of the truck and completely covering a stop sign. My daughter did not see the stop sign. Proceeded with caution. He failed her even though he said that she did everything else perfect. Went to Johns driving school for the test. She was perfect and the testing was super professional and Precise! I highly recommend staying away from the DMV because they set you up to fail!!! And they are not professional!! Mac was great, very professional, and was not out to fail her!!!
Fantastic experience: Mac was an awesome instructor and knew how to prepare the nervous teenage! He was very kind! Thank you, Mac!
Fantastic experience: Great place for your kid to take his/her drivers exam. Both of my boys went here and it was completely worth it! The people giving the exam are nice and friendly and make it so relaxed for the kids. I highly recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: The staff were very pleasant to deal with and exceedingly professional. The office is efficiently run, so you are not wasting your time.

Fantastic experience: Completely worth the investment! Instructor was professional and friendly and always gave me an in-person and email summary of each lesson, providing feedback on areas for improvement. They took him on the highway and also taught parallel parking (not my strong suit!). It was so easy when testing time came as well - no hassle with the DMV and the testing site was nearby. The gentleman who administered the test also provided feedback to my child at the time of the test, and he passed on the first attempt. I highly recommend John's Driving School!

They treated my 16 year old daughter Ava with care and respect the day of the test, communicated with us prior to the test to make sure we had everything we needed.
