Lomba Driving School: Reviews

Fantastic experience: I had such a good experience with Luciano. Sometimes his communication was off but he did such a good job teaching me. I had prior driving experience but needed to pass my test. I went to revere with him and passed. It was $150 to use the car and the test together. The license is separate and will show up on your rmv portal as $85. I highly recommend going here, better than Sonia’s

Fantastic experience: Luciano is one of the kindest and honest people I have ever met! Unless other driving schools he has a lot of integrity. He’s a dime in a dozen, always going above and beyond. He was super accommodating of my schedule despite how busy he was. For those who are trying to get a hold of him, it can be difficult at the beginning since he works all the time, but once you schedule time he is a fantastic instructor. My partner and I both went through him and passed the first time at the driving exam! Highly recommend

Negative experience: Intentaba programar mis clases y fue imposible porque nunca contestan,y nunca tiene disponibilidad,tome clases en otra escuela. Pague la renta del carro con ellos,la chica que programa nunca me indicó el teléfono del señor que tendría el carro, ni la placa del vehículo,y tuve que ir preguntando carro por carro quien se llamaba Luciano. Muy desordenados y la atención telefónica malísima.

Negative experience: I contacted Lomba over the phone to schedule hourly classes. The classes were for an hour and it was good. I took 3 classes with Luciano after which he ghosted me. No one answers my calls or texts, no scheduling of classes- just nothing. Very unprofessional.

Negative experience: If I could rate 0 I would, these people are very unprofessional, very rude, and do not deserve to be in business. They will make you schedule a class and reschedule it several times, the guy says “call me to schedule” but every single time I call it’s a different excuse, he’s rude ,arrogant and you should take your money elsewhere, WOULD NOT RECOMMEND

Negative experience: This is the worst driving school! The man Orlando was so racist. My mother doesn’t speak English and he would not let me come to translate, in fact he tried to charge us double!

Jessica Arima 5 years ago

Positive experience: I took my classes with Jose. I was at first frustrated because I would text him and never get a test back. But He was very nice once we met and I did learned from him. The reason for my 3 stars is because I paid them $120 to schedule the road test. I thought everything was cover. Get my test and I passed it. I wait a Month and don't get my driver's license. So I called Idilia and asked her about it. And she asked me if I paid. I said yes. 120 to you. She said that was for using the car. I was upset because they never explained that. The day of my test I had to wait almost an hour after my scheduled time and it only took less than 20 minutes. Mi d you that you are in the car with a second person taking the test too. I feel they have to be upfront with people about what their fee covers. For that amount I would have asked someone else to sponsor me.. 120 plus 85 for the test is ridiculous.

Negative experience: I was supposed to have a road lesson where they said they would come to my address and call when they were here. They never showed up and I didn't get a call letting me know either.

Lee Sarroo 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend!! I took my road lessons with Luciano, - Great teacher. He taught me everything I needed to know to become a safe driver . Linda went above and beyond scheduling my road test for me with short notice (& communicated well, keeping me in the looop of everything , )she also gave me extra practice before my test & I passed ! Overall Llombas driving school is very professional. & I would recommend this school to anyone in the Boston area that wants their driving license !!

Negative experience: No pierdan su tiempo ellos se creen la ultima cocacola del desierto. Llame para clases de manejo y me dijeron te volveremos a llamar para una cita aun estoy esperando la llamada jaja ridiculo hay mas escuelas no es la unica.

Andrey Kalashnikov 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I didn't have any driving experience prior to taking lessons with Luciano. He was a great instructor and taught me the best way to drive to pass the driving test and be a skillful motorist in general. His critique was constructive and precise. If you listen to him, you'll pass your test on the first try, just like I did.

Negative experience: The guy uses most of your time calling other students to book driving appointment. And he keeps dragging the steering with you.

Jovanna 10 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have to dissagree 100% with a previous review stating that the instructor was rude and unprofessional. NOt only is he whilling to pick you up an hour earlier than your class, so that you can observe another student and beging to get an understanding as to what you could be doing wrong and what you will do right, youre getting two hours for the price of one..I dont know about you, but I appreciate that. He actually allows you to make mistakes in order to correct them and teach you the CORRECT way in wich you should be driving. Just because you THINK that you are driving fine, does not mean you ACTUALLY are. We all know that in Boston there are two ways of driving OURS and EVERYONE ELSES. He is what you need a driving instructor to be, Tought, understanding and willing to teach you the correct way to drive. Not just pat you in the back and say on you didnt stop at a T stop, but its ok...it doesnt matter....No it does matter, because when you go for your road test that is what they are going to test you on. I actually appreciated that he was in control of that vehicle at ALL times during our class. He teaches you that you have to LOOK, actually turn your head and look as well as reliying on your mirros for HELP but you cant go by your mirrors all the time because they can lie to you. You have to use your mirrors but rely on your sence of vision in order to be 100% acurate on your driving decissions. Remember your life is not in YOUR hands when youre on the road, your life is at the hands of all of the other drivers around you, and if your a bad driver(not fallowing the actuall correct ways of the road) then you might as well just lay in the middle of a highway. The driver behind you is relying on you to give him or her cues as to whats going on inform of you...if you dont then theres going to be an accident and it will be your fault.
