First of all, I would like to address Blk W.'s other review. I actually had the EXACT OPPOSITE of an experience. Romy is the owner, and Romy's wife, Grace, runs the company very very very well. I began my driving lessons during winter of 2011. I paid the full price for 6 hours, but I became too busy. I did not respond to Grace's calls for over 6 months. They still called me every 2 weeks and left voicemails to reach me.During the summer of 2012, I began my lessons with Gilberto, and he was very nice. Gilberto has taught driving for Grace Driving School for over 20 years, and the experience is obvious. I thoroughly enjoyed all my lessons with him.After my 6 hours, my mother wanted me to practice more (I was perfectly prepared, but there were not enough cars at home for me to practice with my family), and Gilberto continued to teach me.When I started, I found it hard to believe that Grace Driving School has a 99%+ success rate. Now I know why. Besides taking me to the course to practice before the test, Romy (or another teacher) personally "approves" of each student before the student's test. If the student does not look like he/she will pass, they will tell the student and recommend more practice. I highly recommend Gilberto and Romy. (I'm sure the other teachers are great, but I've only had lessons with Gilberto and Romy.)About the lessons:- EXPERIENCE. I thought parallel parking would be difficult, but everytime we practiced, Gilberto and Romy set up the cones perfectly. It looked EXACTLY like the course. They even had their own tricks to pass the test. They not only know how to drive, but they know how to TEACH. - KNOWLEDGE. They know the best highways to practice on in NJ. (Who knew Palisades Parkway and Rt-17 could test different things?)- DMV EXPERIENCE! When I arrived at the DMV to take the test, Romy knew every single instructor, and every single instructor knew Romy. The very fact that the instructors all knew how great Romy's driving school is gave me more confidence.- Finally, most importantly: THEY CARE. My lessons would be only 2 hours, but they would ALWAYS go over at least 30 minutes. Sometimes, my 2 hour lessons would even be 3 hours, and they would only charge me for 2. Also, they picked me up from anywhere and dropped me off anywhere. (Ex. Pick me up from school, drive for 2 hours, drop me off at home)I took my test on December 28th, 2012. I passed with a 100. :) Read Less
