Middletown Driving School
Red Bank, New Jersey
General Info
Gary Thomson Driving School was established in 2000. After working for Gary for approximately a year and a half George Clayton purchased the driving school December 1st, 2004. At the present time there is a relatively small crew of employees all of which have years of driving instruction experience. Thousands of local sixteen year old students have attended Gary Thomson Driving School and each one is held in high regard. The staff at G.T. driving school takes its seriously that each student is taught the basics and has a level of confidence when they complete their driving lessons. Parents can feel comfortable discussing any issues they have with any one of the instructors or the owner (or both).

I have NO idea what the negative poster is talking about. The school is there to teach the practical basics of driving and to satisfy the State's mandatory 6 hours of road time. It's up to the parents to take their kids out and help them get the time & experience necessary to PASS the road test. Both of my kids went through MDS' program - one has her license and the other takes the road test in a few months. First, the owner & office staff could NOT be more courteous, helpful & accomodating - START to FINNISH. John met us at DMV, helped us with the paperwork, then gave my daughter the confidence she needed to get through the written test, passing it without a hitch. He then worked around our busy schedules to fit her in between school, dance & homework. He took her neighborhood driving, getting her accommodated to the streets, with concise instruction & patience. Next, she had Jake for the next two lessons, which built on the first 2 hours with John. Jake took her parallel parking and taught her the "Jake System" (his own :-) ) then took her on the highways & GSP to help build her confidence. She said that Jake was super laid back, had a calming 'no stress' approach, and that she felt very comfortable learning from him.
I HIGHLY recommend MDS, and can't imagine how anyone could have a bad experience with them.
Furthermore, if they did, they should cite examples and reasons before posting negatively.

My son was very nervous to get behind the wheel. George the owner assured me that they would make him comfortable and get him driving. After just one lesson my son wants to drive all the time. I highly recommend Middletown Driving school and really appreciate everything the George and his staff did to make this a great experience for my son! We will be sending all of our friends here in the future.

I could not have had a worse experience with this driving school. I paid over a hundred dollars for basically nothing. The instructor did not let me practice driving before my road test which is EXACTLY what he was getting paid to do. I HIGHLY considered calling for a refund because the instructor was so awful, but I didn't because I knew it would be pointless and I was not going to get the refund that I deserve. I'm so upset I wasted my hard earned money on this school. I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING THIS DRIVING SCHOOL UNLESS YOU'RE LOOKING TO WASTE MONEY ON HORRIBLE SERVICES. I will be sure to let friends know not to use this driving school and I'll be posting my review on every review site I see Middletown Driving School on. WORST DRIVING SCHOOL IN MONMOUTH COUNTY!!!!!!!
