Paramus Driving School

Negative experience: I had an unfortunate experience with Paramus Driving School. Initially, I was instructed to fill out an online form and wait for a call from an associate. Unfortunately, I never received any contact. As my road test is in a month, I decided to call the school myself to get clarity on the schedule. When I reached out, I was met with frustration and a lack of professionalism. The staff member I spoke to simply told me they were booked until next week without any explanation or attempt to help find a solution - or how long I should wait. The tone of the conversation was dismissive and rude, which added to my disappointment. I was advised to find another driving school and he hung up the phone - unprofessional and rude. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great experience, took the 6 hour and road test lessons. Passed on first try.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Paramus Driving School. If you are looking for someone who your children can feel comfortable with as a new driver, and that will guide you through the process, Greg is amazing. Greg went above and beyond for both my son and daughter. He is flexible in scheduling, extremely patient with new drivers, and guides parents to ensure all paperwork is completed by the day of the road test. Both of my children were so comfortable driving with Greg, learned to be careful drivers and passed their tests the first time around! Greg is there for them the day of their test as well. The patient training and professionalism of PDS resulted in my children becoming happy, well-trained and licensed NJ drivers, thanks to Paramus Driving School. I couldn't be happier with the result!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Paramus Driving School to anyone. Greg is a fantastic instructor! He is calm and rational. He trusted me and let me drive throughout towns and highways for hours. I gained confidence quickly, which motivated me to practice more. He also gave me valuable tips on passing the road test. I feel lucky to have him as my instructor. Thank you so much, Greg!

Fantastic experience: If your son or daughter has an upcoming road test at the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission, you should definitely call Greg at Paramus Driving School. Greg went above and beyond in preparing my daughter for her NJ road test. He accommodated our schedule, made sure all my daughter's paperwork was in order before the road test and even arranged for our daughter to use the Paramus Driving School automobile (the actual vehicle she practiced in) when completing her road test. She passed and is now a licensed NJ driver thanks to Paramus Driving School. I couldn't be happier with the result!

Fantastic experience: I was really impressed with the time and effort that PDS took with my daughter. I could see my daughter get more comfortable behind the wheel with each lesson. She felt secure and more sure going into the day of her driving test. I cannot thank this school enough!

Fantastic experience: Five Star experience. Thank you to Mr. Rettino and Paramus Driving School for helping an anxious teenager overcome her reluctance and pass her driver's test.

Fantastic experience: Our daughter failed the test a couple times. We switched to Paramus Driving School and could immediately tell this was a much more serious, focused lesson plan. Today she passed! I’ll have no problem recommending PDS to our friends and using them again when it’s our son’s turn.

Fantastic experience: Had an awesome experience with Paramus Driving School. After taking the refresher with Greg, I felt really prepared for my test. Thank you Greg!!

Fantastic experience: So helpful!! Paramus driving school is amazing and made me feel extremely prepared for my test:)

Fantastic experience: Great service . Very informative courteous and punctual . Greg is a pro ! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Gregory K. Schraer’s Paramus Driving School. I used them for both of my daughters. My oldest daughter had Greg as her instructor and my youngest daughter just completed her 6 hours of driving with Instructor Jason Jones. Both Greg and Jason made my daughters feel at ease with driving for the first time. These instructors are professional, knowledgeable, punctual, and patient with teaching driving skills to a new driver. Greg takes care of obtaining the NJMVC Student Permit for your new driver from motor vehicles. It is a relief that we did not have to go to motor vehicles ourselves. The paperwork to use Paramus Driving School is also easy to complete and Greg always responded quickly with any questions we had. Using Paramus Driving School for driving lessons is worth every penny!

Fantastic experience: These guys are amazing! Office took care of answering all my questions right away, our driving coach did a great job with the driving school, and Greg (the owner) was fantastic practicing on the course with my son, and was with him to take the road test. Also incredibly helpful in making sure we had all the right paperwork once the road test was passed. Great job! SO glad we chose you guys to teach our son how to drive!

Fantastic experience: Paramus Driving School to the RESCUE! We went to Fairlawn Driving School for my daughter’s six hour lessons. They were so quick to take our money but were not available for the lessons for three months, that is also after calling several times. When it was time for road test, they said they were available to give my daughter a refresher lesson and to take her to the road test - left me hanging. I didn’t know what to do. One day outside of Paramus High School, we met Greg from Paramus Driving School. I explained the situation and even though he was also completely booked he said to me, don’t worry mom, complete online forms and we will figure something out. He was kind and understood the stress I was feeling. Our test date was only couple of weeks away and he gave my daughter a parallel parking lesson, a refresher and made himself available to take my daughter to her road test. At this point he made her feel comfortable, confident and most importantly a safer driver. Today, she passed the test. The joy on my daughter’s face was as equally reflected on Greg’s face as a proud instructor. Thank you so much Paramus Driving School and Greg for making this experience more memorable for my daughter and me.

Fantastic experience: My experience with Greg as an intructor was amazing and super easy from start to finish. He was very patient and friendly. The driving school was very helpful all the way. They made the entire process very efficient and smooth, from taking care of my documentation to getting the license, they took care of everything. Paramus Driving School is one of the Best in NJ and I would recommend to everyone. I should give them 100 stars!!!

Fantastic experience: My daughter had a Great Experience with the overall process and knowledge she gained with Paramus Driving School. Greg and Mr. Blackwood are fantastic teachers, very patient and knowledgeable. I highly recommend Paramus Driving School for yourself/your kid. Thank you Greg and Mr. Blackwood for your time and being so flexible with accommodating my kids schedule.

Fantastic experience: If you're in Paramus and thinking of enrolling for driving lessons or even looking to recommend a driving center to anyone, search no more. I actually got some driving lessons from my brother sometimes back so I wasn't a total novice getting to Paramus driving center, but I must admit it was almost like I knew nothing, there's a lot we actually get wrong out there if not properly taught by an expert. All skills including parallel parking, night driving, highway driving and being calm behind the wheels. Greg is a great teacher and the driving center has indeed made my learning worthwhile

Fantastic experience: My daughter enjoyed instruction from Paramus Driving School immensely. She loved Mr. Blackwood and had Greg for the refresher course and test day and said both of them made her feel so comfortable. They never missed a time that we were scheduled for and couldn’t have been more informative about everything. They had us totally prepared for test day! Thank you guys for a wonderful job and I’m so happy to have another driver in my household.!!

Negative experience: Very unprofessional and rude driving instructors. They deserve 0 stars. I was at the dmv with my son today and one of the driving instructors got out of his car and starting yelling at me. Yelling that I can’t stand outside the vehicle when my son is parallel parking and that this wasn’t my own personal parking spot. First of all there is a nice way of coming over and telling someone if they are doing something ‘illegal’ as he put it. You don’t just start screaming at someone. 2 very nice guys from other driving schools came over and told me the schools were going to set up and share the parking cones. And there were other instructors and parents outside of their cars and he didn’t yell at any of them, only me. Stay away from this place unless you want your kids to be yelled at while trying to learn driving.

Fantastic experience: Great Experience! Greg is a fantastic teacher, very patient and knowledgeable. There were many schools to choose from...we are very happy that we chose Paramus Driving School. If you want you child to be confident and informed, this is the school to chose.
