Christo Driving School

Negative experience: As a former student of Christos Driving School over 35 years ago, I enrolled my son expecting the same level of professionalism and reliability. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short. The first driving lesson was canceled at the last minute due to a reported emergency—understandable, but no contingency plan or earlier notice was provided. We rearranged our work schedules twice to accommodate, only to be met with radio silence at the second lesson: my husband and son waited over 30 minutes, and no one from Christos contacted us. There was no text, no call—nothing. Even after I corrected my son's email address twice, it was still wrong in their system, leading to more confusion. When I raised these concerns professionally, I received a defensive and antagonistic response from their business manager, along with a partial refund ($245 from a $300 payment) and a refusal to take responsibility. Instead of resolving the issue, they dismissed us and suggested we find another school. What should be a milestone filled with learning and support became stressful and chaotic. We've since moved on to a program that values families and communicates clearly. Sadly, I cannot recommend Christos to anyone seeking a respectful, reliable driving school.

Negative experience: This car driving 90 miles a hour on 495 south bound today. Weaving in and out of cars. Tailgating. And having to hit there brakes because they are driving to close. Wow you shouldn’t drive like this with stickers all over your car about “Christo driving school”

Negative experience: This place is ridiculous- they cancel lessons without any notification and then also reschedule them without any notification- this has happened several times now. They also have sent our driving schedule to someone else with the same last name. We are about to give up on them.

Fantastic experience: We had a great experience with Christos. Between the classes and the driving lessons, everything went smoothly. The most exceptional thing was the main office. They walked me through so many things so many times. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I had the nicest and best teacher named Jim rennie.

Negative experience: The instructor told my brother he wouldn’t get a ticket on the interstate as long as he “stayed under 120 mph.”

Negative experience: Horrible. My daughter took the class via Christo's and drove with another driving school. Christo's made me pay more money and then basically would not release my daughter's information to the DMV. The only reason my daughter is able to get her license is because of the only of the other driving school- he went above and beyond to help me. Just because this is a 'known name' for driving schools does not mean you need to pick it. Move along

Negative experience: Very unpleasant owner. The class instructor is great. Wait is too long to complete driving portion with instructor.

Negative experience: Just saw the driving teacher in a Cristo's car in Acton talking on his cell phone while driving. Great role model for our teens! This pretty much mirrors my experience at Cristo's with my teen drivers. Set a better example...we're watching.

Fantastic experience: If you want the BEST driving school - this is it. In business for 68 years and 3 generations. The owners of this school actually helped MA write the drivers ed curriculum and laws. It may seem that Christos is more expensive, but they are about the same as the other schools around. (The other schools don't tell you all the fees up front - Christos does). My daughter also loved the class instructor (Billy). A pleasant surprise for both of us.

Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience with Christo driving school! It is a much better driver's ed program than the one I used to go to, and I learned a lot. The instructors are nice and thourouh when it comes to teaching the maneuvers that will be on the test. I feel much more prepared than I did before.

Fantastic experience: I got my driving licence beacuse of this school. Instructors are awesome.
