AMC Driving School

Fantastic experience: We needed refresher lessons for our 23 year old son who has not driven in years due to anxiety and really not much of a need to drive while in college and working remotely. AMC was fantastic. They got him in immediately and got him comfortable on the road. My son felt more confident after just one 2 hour lesson. The 2nd lesson they practiced his new job commute which was so great of them. They understood what my son needed. I highly recommend this company for the great prices, fast scheduling, skill and empathy the instructor showed.

Fantastic experience: Alan is an exceptional driving instructor who combines expertise with patience, making the complex journey of learning to drive both enjoyable and enlightening. His supportive approach instills confidence and his dedication to his students is evident. I highly recommend Alan for anyone looking to master the art of driving.

Fantastic experience: Alan was wonderful! I highly recommend him. He takes the time and is very patient with new inexperienced drivers. He gave my son the confidence he needed! He also gave me the confidence in my sons driving ability! I highly recommend him for driving lessons and for him to take your child on the road test!

Fantastic experience: Very informative. Lots of riding. Instructors were very cool and they went over everything. The final driving test was a breeze

Fantastic experience: Good Instructor Alan .. He Made My Licences process with Easy and Comfortable

Negative experience: My son had a lesson with Alan. After approx 20 minutes I was called and told he needed to stop his lesson. He told me it was too dangerous to continue. I feel my sons hearing loss was more the problem ( which was explained before appt.). He since then had one with another school. The person said he was doing an amazing job on the road. If he has problems with people with a disability, he should tell them up front. Don’t waste your time !!!!

Fantastic experience: Alan is fantastic! My son received several lessons from Alan. Alan is incredibly patient and calm, which my son said made him feel much more comfortable and confident. Alan made this process so easy and took a lot of pressure off of this anxious mom of a first time driver! I would HIGHLY recommend Alan at AMC Driving School!

Fantastic experience: Polite, kind, courteous and a great teacher! Definitely the best in the area

Fantastic experience: This guy is awesome! He picked up my son right at my house for all of his lessons and was always on time. He prepared my adhd teenager and took him for his road test and my son passed on the first try! Reasonable rates. Well worth every dollar I spent! Thanks Allan!

Fantastic experience: Question. Do you offer lessons after work hours, say after 5pm?

Fantastic experience: As an adult learning to drive can be an insurmountable hill to get over. I went from having no real knowledge of driving to passing my test after a few sessions wiith Alan. I genuinely owe it to AMC to share my story here. Excellent instructor, very patient, and will pinpoint what you need to be great at driving and eventually pass the road test. Could not reccomended someone better. Thanks again AMC :)

Fantastic experience: My son was very nervous to drive with us. We signed him up for lessons and he loved working with Alan. He just finished his last lesson today and passed his test this morning. We will see you in July when you will be giving lessons to my daughter. Thank you Alan!!!

Fantastic experience: My 18 year old son just came home from his first driving lesson with Alan. I had driven with my son in parking lots but I was too nervous to take him on the road. My son spent 2 hours driving on back roads and main roads and came home smiling about it. He's encouraged to keep learning to become a better driver. Thank you to Alan for being a calm and encouraging instructor.

Fantastic experience: We contacted several driving instructors for my 16 year old son. We chose Alan from AMC driving school. We certainly made the right choice. Alan was very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. He quickly gained my son’s respect. He was very responsive and offered flexible scheduling. He picked up my son at our house which was very convenient. Thanks to Alan’s instruction, my son easily passed his driving test. The lessons also reduced the cost of my son’s automobile insurance. I don’t write many reviews but I am writing this one not only for Alan’s benefit but for the benefit of those looking for an excellent driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: I had scheduled a 2hr class with Alan one week before my road test. He was kind enough to come and pick me up on time from my home. We went to the driving test track in Cranston and he explained me the various steps in the test. It was a pleasant experience with Alan. We had some great conversations starting religion, region, politics, god and life in general. He is a great human being and does lot of community service in his leisure time. I would surely recommend Alan to any person who want to learn the nuances of driving and to pass the driving test. Thank you Alan!

Fantastic experience: Alan is the best! Patient and actually CARES about his students. If you are looking for an instructor for your teen, there is no other choice.

Fantastic experience: Alan has not worked with both of my daughters when they were learning to drive. He was always prompt and courteous and very patient. He took them to the places that made me as a mom a little nervous to take them their first few times. He provided both of my daughters with the confidence they needed behind the wheel. I have recommended him for many of my daughters friends and all have been very happy with his Assistance in teaching their children to drive.

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Alan as your driving teacher! He had my son ready for his road test in a little over a month. He is reliable, respectful, and patient. My son had a great experience, and passed his test with flying colors!

Fantastic experience: Excellent experience, highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, prompt, and courteous. Patient in his teaching. A pleasure to be around.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Alan to book driving lessons for my son. Alan was very courteous and made every attempt to accommodate my son's schedule. Every time we left a message, he would returned our calls promptly. My son was very comfortable with him and learned a lot. He passed the road test with no problem, and as a matter of fact the examiner made a comment that he must have had had a very good driving instructor. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Very nice driving class.Alan is very nice instructor,he has lot of patience,I took one driving lesson from him and already feel improvement in my driving

Fantastic experience: What an amazing experience I had. I highly recommend AMC Driving School. Alan Cote is an awesome person to talk to, great driving teacher. I learned so much in just a matter of 2 hours, I feel like I can now buy a car and roll with it. Thank you Alan. People, do consider AMC whenever you want to learn driving... Cheers!

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommand AMC Driving School. It was really a great experience learning driving from AMC. Alan my driving instructor is very nice and patient to answer you. I was able to learn a lot with the help of Alan. He teaches you everything that you need to know for the road test.

Negative experience: This guy Alan Cote appeared to be very uncourteous. Very bad experience in order to just find out about the procedure and payment informaiton. He does not want to meet in person and was very rude. I called for my brother who is new to country and had an appoinment for road test. I did not tell him that I am calling for my brother because at that point I was not talking about who is the driver but what is the package. That is as simple as it is... After multiple tries, when I finally spoke to him and asked if we can meet, he was like, No make an appointment and pay and I will come. I was like Ok. that is fine, let's do it. But he was like, he is busy and is booked for few days. So, I said ok we will work on your schedule days but due to work, my brother can be available after 3:00 PM any day Alan is available; however when I said I also want to make sure the car is available for the scheduled road test day and time for our peace of mind, he rudely said: "No, MY CARS are NOT available!" ... That was just shocking. Here I am asking for his services and there he was making his customer all uncomfortable and worrying about if he is feeling comfortable or not. He then outrightly started accusing me of not being honest and not telling him upfront if it was for my brother. He just made an excuse out of it. Clearly, he wanted things on his terms and never wanted to work with a customer. I asked him multiple times to make an appointment and he was under the delusion that I was asking for discounts. I never asked for a discount; only confirmed about the pricing. And asked multiple times only to make sure there are no hidden surprises. That, as a customer, is my right. He appears to have issues with people of color as his tone ahd started changing after I told him from where he can pick my brother up. Lost a customer and lost all respect. I have seen many unfriendly people in corporate world I work in, but running a small business and losing a customer like this requires special talent.

Fantastic experience: I learned how to drive with AMC driving school, and had a great experience. The instructor/owner Allan is great. He was able to work with my schedule and would come into Providence to pick me up for the two hour lessons. We were able to start lessons almost immediately after I contacted him, where other schools I looked into did not have open spots that worked with my work hours for a month or more. Allan does a good job of balancing teaching to the test (taking you to the test area) and learning how to be a safe driver in general. He will let you use his car for the exam (for a fee), I found it great to use the vehicle I had practiced with for the test. He warns that he will not take you/let you use his vehicle unless he is confident you are ready, and asks "would you be willing to push back your exam if I still have concerns?" as an upfront question, however if you are willing to work with him and let him teach you, this won't be an issue. Tip: Take lessons early in learning,Allan is great at correcting bad habits before they become ingrained and fixed things I had never thought about.
