Fantastic experience: My daughter recently completed her driver ed program through ADS and passed her driving test. I am so grateful to Angela and Pete for their patience and kindness. My daughter has extreme anxiety, especially with strangers, and these amazing people just rolled with it. Angela was super understanding and helpful when we had to cancel and reschedule some lessons, and she worked with me to make sure my daughter had the same instructor for each lesson. Pete, her driving instructor, was extremely patient and gentle, and always showed up with a smile, even when my daughter wouldn’t say a word. He worked around my daughter’s needs and allowed her take the lessons slowly so she could get comfortable and focus on learning. By the time she went to take her test she was very confident and passed on the first try. What a great company they have been to work with. I’ll be signing my son up for their courses next year. Thank you ADS!

Negative experience: I just need to start by saying that the driving instructor that we had through this school was incredible. The owner of the business on the other hand is the most unprofessional woman I have ever dealt with. If I could give zero Stars I would and I will be contacting the BBB in regards to her unprofessionalism. She contacted me via text 3 days before my son's license test to tell us that we had not yet paid and that she does not keep records of payment that that is up to the parents to take care of keeping any records of payment made which would have been back to almost 6 months prior. And then on the day of his license test even though her website says pay check or venmo, and let me tell you that she likes to refer to her website as the base of all the information for her business and ways of payment but when my wife shows up with my son to take his license test she then demands cash in hand without even a heads up that she would like to be paid in cash. This woman is rude and I am not the only one apparently judging by other reviews that she has been rude to. I would highly suggest you look elsewhere for your children's Driving School. There is so much more that I can leave in this review but I'm done putting my time and energy into this person. Once again I encourage you to look elsewhere for your driving class needs

Let’s tell the real story here… Because I’m business owner doesn’t mean I have to take abusive & bullying behavior from customers! You received payment information a week prior to the start of our Zoom Classes, as all parents…Yes, you are responsible for keeping track of payments & at the end of the program I send a reminder to parents regarding any balance owed. Both you & your wife claimed that you paid, when payment was never made. I have been both professional & accommodating to you & your son, expecting the same respect in return. That didn’t happen when your wife demanded I not abide by the CT/DMV regulations & bend those rules to accommodate your son when he missed a mandated zoom class. When I refused to put my business in jeopardy, she immediately bullied me by posting a one star review here on google, as you just did . I have owned & operated this business for over 20 years & have had THOUSANDS of students attend ADS & successfully obtain their driver‘s license, as your son did today, and I wish him a lifetime of safe driving!

Negative experience: My Son's last class that he needed for his license test next week was today. We had car trouble, called, texted, emailed to ask for the zoom video, and were told too bad. She couldn't possibly accommodate him even though we pay 800 bucks and called her with this one emergency. Would definitely not recommend this program.

We are regulated by the STATE OF CT/DMV & have to abide by protocol regarding making up missed classes. They also mandate that all classes are held “live” & clearly do not only consist of “videos”. Your son began our program back in December & here we are in April, so pls don’t blame us for this unfortunate situation. I’m sure you understand if I make an exception for one, I have to make exceptions for all…I’m not willing to put my business at risk for anyone…Sorry!

Fantastic experience: I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Angela and her team for their exceptional service. Angela was incredibly accommodating, taking into consideration our family's busy schedules to ensure that my son successfully obtained his driver's license in the most comfortable manner. Her dedication and personalized approach were instrumental in my son's success. I highly recommend her services. 10/10!

Fantastic experience: I have had four kids who completed the full drivers education course as well as the driving portion. Not only is the owner amazing but she is responsive and puts the kids in her program first. She goes above and beyond and has shown me that time and time again. She makes the kids want to learn and understanding all that goes with driving. I would highly recommend Angela and her team 100 percent!!!!!

THX SO MUCH, Jody!! So happy it was a good experience for your boys & it was absolutely our pleasure having them here:)
