Terrible service, I highly do not recommend. My son went here and Tony refused to set up hours for long periods of time, and Im talking months here! His main form of communication is by using a cheap Walmart track phone. He does not correctly teach some common Massachusetts driving laws! I was horrified at this and I do not recommend. Also if you want him to sponsor your child for the road test, he makes you pay an extra $50. Read Less

Tony is the worst drivers ed teacher I've ever met. I wish I never signed my daughter up with him. She had nothing but problems set up days to drive. Broke appointment with her. I called and and speak with him to straighten things out with him and asked him for my money back and he refused and started to yell at me and told me that he was Italian and and that is how he talks... he quick it down when I said I am Italian and I have no problem going to his place of business and boycott his business. .... to make a long story short I have three other kids and I will not be using him again...

Honestly Tonys Driver's ed was good and he always made it entertaining with his great stories that made driving more relaxed and not feel pressured when driving. Also to one of the other people who made a review for Tony, if you can't concentrate on driving while Tony is talking to you about his story's then you just aren't a good driver or suck at it completely...Out of all this I passed my Road test today. I recommend you going to Tony. Read Less

I found Tony to be a great instructor both for the class room portion and the driving portion. His funny stories make driver's ed more fun and the lessons more memorable. He only lets students setup driving lessons with him, but I think that makes the students more independent. He is a good driving instructor and in my opinion provides just the right amount of instruction to help the student get better and develop their own driving skills, not just learn enough to pass the test.

Although they are very nice, its very difficult to speak with them and to schedule driving hours. They only communicate via text messaging. It's a small organization and they don't communicate with the parents. after a few months of trying to schedule a driving test...I received a group text stating that he couldn't sch. any driving test for 6 months. Although they are conveniently located downtown Ayer I will think twice before I sign up my next child for drivers ed. Read Less

Going to Tony's is like being on the worst reality TV show for driving schools -- you just won't believe your eyes or ears when you witeness the way they do "business" and act around kids. You will constantly ask yourself "How does Tony keep his license?" "Why oh why did I want to save 100 measily dollars on Tony's when I could go to another driving school that is professional?" This is Tony's sales edge -- 100 dollars cheaper than the reputable driving schools.My son started in April and finished by December. 9 months. Unbelieveable. All because Tony drags it out -- says just text him to schedule a driving time. Yes, test him, sure, but wait 3 weeks to receive a text back with one time available -- you better be available on that day! He flat-out refuses to schedule in advance and makes it incredibly difficult to work with him. He knows he is difficult and doesn't care in the least bit.. As if this wasn't enough, Tony constantly screams at the kids during classtime and driving sessions (I'm not exaggerating)-- "You are my worst student, you will never pass your test. You will have to come back and take more lessons -- you are that bad." Then Tony would make inappropriate jokes right after -- yes, off-color, inappropriate jokes to high school students.When we attending the parent night, he acted like a dishelved, drunk or drugged stand-up comic, making fun of the kids and telling jokes about being a driving school instructor. The kicker -- my son's January road test -- Tony FORGETS to submit the paperwork and we have to reschedule the road test. Why did he forget? Probably attitude "enhancers" and/or the mounds of paper in his office and no computer -- everything is sent by postal service.BTWay, my son did pass his drivers test on the first time. Read Less
