I went with FNL bc of their good ratings. I've had my license for over 12 years, but living in the city restricted me from driving. Since moving to NJ end of last year, I thought it was time for me to take a refresher course.Calling for information and setting up a time over the phone with Nancy was really easy. She recommended that I take a 2-hr refresher course to start, and if I thought I needed more lessons after that, I can just call up again and set up more times. She wasn't pushy at all. Thank you! I think her recommendation was exactly what I needed. I was set up with an instructor named Dane. Wonderful, very personable, PATIENT man! I was a bit nervous and hesitant getting in the driver's seat after years and years of subways and cabs, but Mr. Dane's positive energy and his calm, supportive demeanor helped gained my confidence in driving! I appreciate your time and patience, thank you!!!! Read Less

My experience was outstanding. They were on time, prices were competitive, and all their employees are very knowledgeable. Nancy and Fred are very easy to talk to and take pride in what they do. As a police officer in the town they live in I can attest to their professionalism and clean record. I have and will continue to recommend their services. As for the comment about one of their employees having an expired license, I'm sure it was an oversight and it would certainly be worse if it was suspended which it was not. Read Less

Tremendous - Pete was very professional. Stopped by my house to sit with my son and I to review all the paperwork, next steps and what was needed to get things started. My son enjoyed every minute and both Pete and Nancy made this process very easy. My son passed with flying colors and an invoice was sent - simple and accommodating. Would recommend FNL to anyone and already have to friends of ours. Thanks again FNL. Read Less

The best in the business! If you want to work with a team of individuals who go above and beyond on a daily basis to make your child's first time driving experience one to remember then look no further! The FNL driving school team work hand in hand with their clients to help them find their way along the complicate process the NJ MVC have established and abide strictly by. If you lose a permit they will help you, if you want extra lessons, to take the written test, or simply regain your confidence behind the wheel they are right there to help you along the way. It takes someone special to step up to the plate and teach our children, especially behind the wheel, but with confidence and expertise in their field FNL makes the process as stress free as possible for you! I promise you will not be disappointed! Read Less

My son used Elia at FNL Driving School and was very happy with her teaching abilities! He completed his 6 hours with Elia to get his permit and also used her for a warm up on the day of his road test, as well as taking him to the road test. She was able to instill confidence in him while teaching him how to drive. In addition, she prepared him for exactly what the road test would be like. Elia was an excellent instructor and I would highly recommend her and FNL Driving School. Read Less

They're instructors are great. The kids passed.. BUT...their customer service is horrible! They never answer the phone. Trying to get an appointment, or anyone to call you back is about 3 weeks worth of leaving 20 messages. I really don't know how they stay in business. If and when they ever get back to you - they're fine. Read Less

Thank you FNL, I made a Yelp account just so I could leave you guys a positive review!A week and 2 days ago, I took my road test at Lodi and got my license thanks to FNL! I called two weeks before my road test with NO driving experience whatsoever (parents wouldn't allow me to use their cars), and they managed to fit 3 lessons for me into their schedule on such short notice.I'm 19 and I never got my license at 17 (never even attempted to take the road test) because I had a driving instructor that constantly yelled at me and it ended up giving me driving anxiety for the next 2 years. But during my lessons with Fred, his patient and calm demeanor definitely rubbed off on me. He chided me slightly at one point for driving too fast, but I definitely needed that haha. He was very good at explaining certain things about driving in a way that made sense to someone who was as inexperienced (and afraid) as I was.On the morning of my actual road test, the instructor who drove me to the MVC was Dane. I loved him! We first did a mini review lesson on parking and I asked him millions of questions. He was extremely helpful and even gave me some tips that helped a lot on the road test. I had barely slept the night before and was basically shaking from nerves as we drove to the MVC because I really wanted to pass on the first try, but just talking to Dane made me feel 100x more at ease. He's such a friendly and calm guy, he made me feel very comfortable behind the wheel, which was a pretty big deal for me with my driving anxiety.All in all, my experience with FNL was really awesome and I'm most likely going to send my little brother there for his 6 hours. I recommend lessons with Fred and DEFINITELY recommend lessons with Dane. Thanks again, guys! Read Less

Hired them only because of Yelp reviews. I mean, how the hell else am I supposed to know a good driving school from a bad one? My older son tried once to get his license when he was 17 and failed miserably. Some people excel at certain things. He is a wiz at math and statistics but sucks behind the wheel. Fortunately he lives in a large city so a driver's license is more of a convenience than a necessity. Called and spoke with Nancy and enrolled Brandon the same day. She was more than helpful. I explained to her that he would be a handful and asked her to assign someone patient. I wish I could remember his name because he was terrific. Very patient, informative and a hell of a nice guy. After hearing and, more importantly, reading lots of driving school horror stories it's good to know that FNL is out there. Highly recommended. Thanks, Nancy. Read Less

I can't recommend F N L Driving School enough. My 17 year old daughter passed her road test the second time and I believe it was largely due to the guidance that Fred Lustenberger (the "F" of F N L Driving School) gave her. My daughter failed her first road test and this made her extremely anxious about her second attempt just a little over a month afterwards. We got in contact with F N L Driving School and right off the bat I knew I was dealing with some great people. Even before I booked an appointment, Fred Lustenberger (the "F" in F N L Driving School) gave me good advice about the NJ road test. We booked two appointments with F N L and these extremely helpful. Fred seemed to know a lot about the NJ road test course in Wayne and Lodi as well as driving in general. He was always calm, patient and most important of all, encouraging. My son is 15 and I know I will be contacting F N L for him.There are a lot of driving schools in northern NJ and unfortunately it is very difficult to determine which ones are really worthwhile. Please take my word for it here that F N L Driving School is worthwhile. It is a great place to learn to drive or brush up before the road test. Outstanding! Read Less
