Loved my time at GDS. They helped making me into a confident driver especially in todays driving conditions.

They sent me an email a month in advance confirming that there would be an 8 hour classroom course today. My mom and I got up early (on a Saturday) and showed up on time. We waited for about 15 minutes before someone even arrived, and he was there to teach a different course. The person who was supposed to be teaching the course didn't even show up! The guy who was there offered to do the first 4 hours today and the next 4 hours at the same early time on Sunday, but he wanted the whole payment up front and would only accept cash, even thought the form said 'cash or check'. We would have been fine paying half now and half tommorow, but he wouldn't budge. This suggests that the class tomorrow might not even happen and he was just trying to get our money. Overall, terrible experience. Wasted an hour of our time and about 3 hours of sleep. Find a different place!!

I would recommend Glastonbury driving school the staff is great my son learned a great deal from them never had a problem with anything very professional. I liked the fact that they made my son's experience of learning how to drive a good one.I also like that I could always call or stop by the school and talk with someone and the flexibility of the classes and the driving lessons was a big help.

I wish I could give less than one star. For starters this buisness is run worst than your neighborhood lemonade stand. When I asked for a receipt they tore a piece of white printer paper in half and signed their name. The classroom time was 30 hours of videos on vhs from the late 80s. Furthermore the the school's system for scheduling during driving tests is backwards and counterintuitive. The school schedules 8 people for one half hour time slot, when maybe 4 tests can occur in this time period. Unfortunately this place holds a pretty strong monopoly on the realm of drivers Ed.

The lady who runs this place is very rude and she offers only 2 hours classes. It's really boring to take class continuously for 2 hours. I don't recommend this place.

Beware of this place. Their eye tests are not accurate or qualified. They must not have the proper procedures or equipment as my teenager supposedly failed their eyetest and was given a Class B on his license without our knowledge. His eyes are fine, he does not wear glasses, and we had to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles and had to re-take the eyetest from a qualified business in order to remove the Class B annotation on his license. He passed the eyetest at the DMV with no problems. I would not recommend this place to anyone. If you go here, ensure that you do not get a mistaken Class placed on your license by unqualified personel. Check your license now...you might be surprised.
