Defensive Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My son took the 5 hour course in the beginning of September and took lessons with Robert Baker after. I have to say- what a wonderful experience. This school is so accommodating!!! They did everything they could to help my son feel comfortable. My son was most comfortable with Robert and they were able to work around my son's school schedule and literally bent over backwards for him. I could not be happier. He passed his road test!!! They make you feel like family and I am so happy that we were able to work with them. Lynn is amazing and a true asset to the company and will literally do anything she can to help Thank you Lynn!!!!!! ! The young ladies in the office are friendly and when they say they will call you back- they call you back! And Robert Baker!!!! He is truly one of a kind!!!! Thank you to all!!!!

Fantastic experience: I had an incredible experience learning with Marty from Defensive Driving School. From the very beginning, he was extremely understanding and made me feel completely comfortable behind the wheel. Marty has a calm and patient teaching style that really helped ease my nerves, especially as someone who was a bit anxious about driving. What impressed me most was how effectively he taught me to parallel park—he explained it so clearly that I got it right on the first try. He also took extra time when picking me up to make sure I had his full attention and could get the most out of each lesson. It’s clear he genuinely cares about his students’ success. I took a few lessons with Marty, passed my road test and truly felt confident and well-prepared thanks to Marty. He made sure I understood not just how to drive, but how to do so properly and safely within New York State laws. Whether you’re a first-time driver or just looking to brush up your skills, I highly recommend scheduling lessons with Marty. He goes above and beyond to make sure you’re ready for the road. THANK YOU, MARTY!
Thank you for this amazing review!!

Fantastic experience: Frank is a great instructor Me and my husband took the 6 h defensive driving course which was very instructive
Fantastic experience: I just want to give a big shoutout to my instructor Andy. He was great, he built my confidence with the one lesson I had and also the practice before my road test. He had patience and he was straight to the point. He was informative with everything and luckily I passed my road test. Thanks for your help Andy. I truly recommend Andy L and the school in general.

Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: I did a six lesson package deal and my instructor Frank was just the best. He made the whole learning experience better than I was hoping for and thanks to everything that he taught me I was able to pass my road test and it’s thanks to him learning and telling me what I need to do when I’m on the road.
Fantastic experience: The best
Thank you very much. We like to think so. Glad you liked us.
Fantastic experience: "I recently passed my road test, and I attribute my success to the exceptional classes I attended at the Defensive Driving School, particularly those taught by Frank. His expertise and teaching style were instrumental in equipping me with the necessary knowledge and skills to confidently pass the test and obtain my driver's license. Frank's dedication and comprehensive approach to instruction made the learning process enjoyable and effective. I highly recommend this school, especially Frank's classes, for anyone seeking top-notch driving education."
Thank you for you review
Fantastic experience: I took a pre-licensing course with instructor Daniel Lucas. The class taught by Daniel was great, interactive, informative and helpful to prepare for the road test and to drive safely. The certificate arrived by mail early for scheduling road tests. And customer service was great. The phone is always answered immediately. I would recommend pre-licensing courses with this school.
Thank you for your review.
Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for the best training . I just passed the road test successfully. And I wanna especially thank Mr Frank, the gentleman who trained me very well. He's really good man and respectful .
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: Very valuable and interesting 5 Hour class with Dan! Highly recommend. Thank you Dan!!!
Thank you for your review.
Negative experience: called twice and have gone there twice; the secretary has wasted my time by telling me I can just show up and take the class, but on both occasions, they've canceled .they never give us any information or that we need to apply online anything? Just go, that's it
This should not happen and I apologize that it did. You can apply online to take it in person or online. The only thing you would need to do is upload your license for a Defensive Driving class or permit if a 5 hr class. We only cancel a class if we don't have enough students in the classroom. If you wish you can give Barry or Steve a call at 631-234-5032 and they will help you personally
Fantastic experience: The 6 hour class with Dan was very entertaining, the time passed by so quickly that no one felt that it was time to leave. I learned new dmv rules that I didn't know, and more things that will help me to be careful to avoid accidents, Thanks Dan!
Thank you for your review
Fantastic experience: As someone who had no prior driving experience, Defensive Driving School and my instructor Andy really made the experience a positive one. Andy is amazing to work with, he built up my confidence while teaching me the ways of the road and how to best pass the road test. The package options are really great and made it my 1 stop shop to obtain my license.
Thank you for your review
Positive experience: Driving teachers are great and that’s the only reason I’m even giving any stars. The main office help was terrible The guy who works there who answers the phone is rude and has no issue reminding you several times if you’ve made a mistake and called my crying child in the background an animal. Wish I didn’t buy a package here because getting help with anything has always been difficult
This should not happen. I apologize for anything that made you feel like you were not a valued customer. In the future, if we can earn your respect back you should ask for Lynn or Barry and we will take care of you.
Fantastic experience: I had frank as my instructor and he was absolutely amazing. Was a great teacher and really knows what he’s doing. If it wasn’t for him I would’ve, without a doubt, failed my road test. Thanks to him I got my license today. Thank you Frank!!!
Fantastic experience: If it wasn’t for MARTY at Defensive Driving School I wouldn’t have passed my road test today. Thank You MARTY I am forever grateful HAPPY CINCO DE MAYO
Fantastic experience: Jan, my driving instructor, was by far the absolute most amazing teacher I could ever have the privelage of having. The amount of care, patience and time she put into teaching me was something I'll never forget. Besides the fact that she is an absolutely outstanding teacher and driver, she goes above and beyond to make sure you master the ways of the road and I couldn't be more greatful. Jab will teach you all the little details that many people don't, everything you need to know to watch out for on the road and be safe. I couldn't have asked for a better experience and a better teacher. I was more than prepared for the road test and was more than ready for being a good cautious driver on the road! Jan is the best!!!
We thank you and are very happy that she help you become a good driver. Have a great holiday
Negative experience: They charge too much for their driving packages compared to other neighboring companies. The driver instructor, Andy Lang, is amazing. Each drive was informative and comfortable. The five hour pre- licensing course was boring but endurable. Just finished the 6 hour insurance reduction class and that was comparably terrible. He extended the time of the class because of “breaks” but he could’ve definitely finished earlier if he didn’t add his lengthy personal stories about his friend’s car accidents and his stupid Prius.
Fantastic experience: Great class. Simple and straight to the point.
thank you for the review.
Fantastic experience: John did a great job. Patient, knowledgable. My son passed his road test... Thank you
Congratulations. Thank you for the nice comments. I will be sure John gets them.
