CMSC Cape Cod Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I just wanna jump right into it and say that Ken was the foundation of me getting my license. After a very thorough journey of driving/observation hours and classes, Ken made it easy and fun. A chore turned into something to look forward to. Along with Mr.Sweeney and Frank, (and John at the front desk) the staff really helped me with the whole thing. I’m really grateful So glad I went with Cmsc. Hope you see this, Ken. I did it! Got the license. Couldn’t have done it without you

Fantastic experience: I had good experience and a great teacher who's sarcastic and has bunch of stories up his sleeve but also he gets to the point teaching us the importance.
Hi Brandon,
Thank you for your review!
We are glad you enjoyed the experience
Safe and happy travels
Positive experience: I had fun learning all the rules of the road, the teacher made his expectations clear and was laid back, and funny. The only reason this is not a 5 is because the class was boring at times.
Hi Luke
We are glad you had a good experience at our CMSC Cape Cod location

Hello Krisanne,
Thank you for your review and support
We will let our teacher know
Happy and safe travels!
Positive experience: I had great experience learning here at CMSC Cape Cod Driving School. However, I feel like it wouldn’t have been as fun yet educational as it was if it weren’t for my instructor, Ken. From day one he told us that he was going to teach us like adults and with respect as long as we showed respect back. I was able to finish the final exam with a passing score thanks to the way he taught. I also found the curriculum packet very helpful in the way that it was put together. CMSC put together an efficient yet educational driving school.
Hi Collin,
Thank you for your review bcc and comments.
We will let Ken know about your feedback

Fantastic experience: I did a Driver’s Ed class for a week here and my teacher Ken was awesome! He didn’t just lecture on about information that he needed to provide us, instead giving us personal experiences that related to what we were learning. Another thing I liked about him is that Ken was down to earth and very kind, I definitely recommend coming here!!

Hello,
Thank you for your review!
Positive experience: Teaching was good, instructor was fair and pretty forgiving, but not overly so. I liked the realistic approach to learning to drive, everything felt like it had a good connection to the real world and put emphasis on what was necessary and never focused too much on stuff that wasn’t needed or on stuff that would be better learned on the roads.

Hello
Thank you for your review
Positive experience: My experience at CMSC with Mr.Sweeney was great. When I first started driving I was nervous but right from the first lesson Mr.Sweeney took all the nerves away. His teaching methods which many others instructors criticize him for with are great. He shows you easy methods to parallel park, 3 point turn, and backing up. His instruction are not just directly for the Road Test, they are able to be used in real world . I was recently talking with My cousin who also had Mr.Sweeney 10-13 years ago and he says he still uses his techniques such as Parallel parking today. While in driving lesson with Mr.Sweeney his way of teaching is fun, he makes jokes, tell real life stories, and give you way to remember stuff. Stuff like which way to park your car on a hill which he says is UCLA. Uphill Curb Left Always. He never gets upset and unlike many instruction he truly there to teach you how to drive. He truly does enjoy the job. I truly believe Mr.Sweeney should be the prime example of a Driving School Instructor. My only critique is with the school itself, many members of the staff often may openly criticize Mr.Sweeney and say to not follow his technique. As well as the school itself often preventing him from teaching thing a certain way. Other than that I believe that I learned a lot it helped me to become a better driver Thank you for everything Mr.Sweeney. You were amazing! Keep doing what you do.
Hello
Thank you for your review and appreciation of our teachers
We will let him know.
Positive experience: They did great teaching my daughter. It was difficult getting driving hours. We were all over the Cape getting those done. I paid $200 extra for the drivers test at Yarmouth DMV. After she failed, the school ghosted her. I responded to the text message. No answer. I replied to the email, came back undeliverable. I called and left a message. No one called back. I ended up taking her myself. I paid the extra $200 for nothing. Take the classes and lessons, but don’t count on them for the test.
Hi Mary,

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with CMSC! In a matter of 2 months i went from not knowing the first thing about driving to being licensed and on the road. Thank you to John for helping me achieve this goal even faster than i thought was possible, and a HUGE thank you to my driving instructor Eric for believing in me and instilling a confidence in myself that wasn’t there before.
Hi Sophia
Thank you for your review and kind words
Positive experience: The driver my son went with told my husband infront of my son that it's not his responsibility to teach my son how to drive, he's's only there to make sure he drives safely. isn't their primary role to teach how to operate a vehicle / drive safely? Do you expect the child to be fully able to drive before he comes to you? We had 2 other children that has been through this process with another driving school and they were great. We are giving our son lessons and will continue to do so
Hi Marsha,

Please reach out to me Jake Cooney owner of CMSC Auto School, at 646-539-8692 do I can personally assist you in resolving this matter.
Thank you for bringing this to our attention, and we hope to make this right.
Negative experience: No driving hours available for MONTHS! They do not answer their phone or respond to email. I will definitely be finding another driving school in the future.
Hi Annie, I’m so sorry for your experience. This is the owner Jake Cooney. I want to make it right and I’m hoping you might give us a second chance. I’m going to contact our manager there. Please text or call me at 646-539-8692 for a good time to talk. Thanks, Jake.

Happy and safe trails
Negative experience: They never answer there phones and if you leave a voicemail or email them they ignore you. We finally got through to someone who told us our next step was to make an appointment with rmv for road test on a Tuesday or Thursday and to call them back when it's scheduled to let them know. We did this but found out the guy who told us this was wrong and that my daughter us on a list for next month and they will let us know a week in advance when hee road test is. Horrible communication and the people answering aren't trained. And scheduling lessons is a pain...they never have any online so have to call and guess what they never answer there phones. If you go to the school in person they tell you to call. Ridiculous

Hi Vonda
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Great, great driver's ed program. My son took an afterschool, in-person class with Matt. After class, he would excitedly tell me all about what he learned that day. Not only that, a month or so after he finished the classroom part of CMSC, we witnessed a car accident and my son jumped to action saying he knew exactly what to do because they had gone over this in Driver's ed. He told us about the Good Samaritan Law as he ran over to assist while we waited for the police. Thank you, CMSC, for making Driver's Ed engaging, exciting, and memorable. I recommend your program all the time!
Hi Diane
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Easy to get driving hours.Patricia (front office) is one of the nicest people I’ve ever spoken to, she helps with every need and concern you may have. I wish I could give more stars but it only goes to 5.

Hi Julia
Thank you for your review and kind words!! Happy and safe trails
Fantastic experience: My name is Ericson I took driving lessons at CMSC and they were amazing I was taught by a person named Paul and he was extremely helpful teaching me everything I needed for the road test and helped me get more comfortable with driving. This is the absolute best place on Cape Cod to learn how to drive and I have already recommended it to a couple of friends and acquaintances. Before coming here I had already taken the road test a couple of times and failed but in coming here I felt everyone cared and created a welcoming environment. It is because of this driving school that I now have license as two months now and feel safe and comfortable driving by myself. In my personal opinion if you’re trying to decide where to go to take driving lessons whether you’re an adult or teenager from the bottom of my heart I recommended coming here.
