TLTR: extreme flexibility, excellent service, very affordable in comparison to Manhattan prices. I was under a strict deadline to get my driver license, so had to sign up for a test on White Plains instead of in the Bronx as there were no more slots available. The Bronx tends to be Manhattan driving academies favorite place to get the road test done. So I called Best Way Driving School just 3 days before my road test. I knew how to drive, but let my driving license expire a decade ago after living in Manhattan for so long without the need of a car. I called at 9 pm, Pedro answers and with a lot of flexibility, schedules not only 2 back to back sessions but also he offered to drive me to the White Plains testing site with the car I used for the test in exchange for a reasonable fee. The sessions were very useful, they removed bad habits I had and the better way to do parallel parking and do the 3 point turn stuck with me from now on. The feedback I've gotten during the session was polite and very accurate at the same time. It allowed for a fast learning curve. Overall, going to the Bronx to get my road lessons done in this academy was a very efficient use of time. In hindsight, I should have bought a package that included the 5-hour course as well (I did that at a driving academy in Manhattan instead). I passed my test without any points taken out (your max is 35) but a bit of a feedback that matched 100% what Pedro warned me about, so there were no surprises. Read Less

I failed the road test a week before going here. I took three class at S&S Auto school and felt I didn’t learn anything. I didn’t want to go here because the reviews aren’t great but I had 2 weeks left to learn for my next road test. My first lesson was with John, he teach me knowledgeable things but I was not comfortable you can see he gets upset if you make a mistake. When I left I felt I would need 5 classes or more, so I purchase the 5 lessons. My Next lesson they switch my instructor I was a little annoyed due to the fact I wasn’t told prior. I told Pedro Dont switch my instructor no more. Well a miracle happen! My next lesson was with Crystal. She is absolutely amazing. I felt very comfortable and confident with her. She teaches that you understand. She is not critical at all. Crystal breaks down every step and let you know your mistake and how to fix it without feeling grilled. I told her my weakness and we worked hard on it. Anything else she felt I need to work on we also did. She is the best instructor. Every single lesson I took with her I learn so much. I took two 90 minute lesson and a 45 minute lesson the day before the road test. She took me to my road test which helped me relax and I passed my road test! Thanks so much. The receptionist is very nice and she always kept me informed. Read Less

I wish I can give them no stars they are the worst school .... I spent time and money here and all I got was instructors talking bout the damn weather all the time and instructors flirt with you instead of teaching you it gotten so bad during one lesson I stop and have nevours break down and cried cuz asswipe kept punching breaks instead helping me and telling me ....... I went to better place and I passed if your going spend money go a good place that will help you and teach you if first time driving Read Less

giving this driving school a 1 star is a stretch.. first thing's first they need to hire people who know how to treat others and aren't constantly screaming that you're doing something wrong! the whole point of people going to driving schools are because we need someone to show us how to drive but instead the instructors scream and jam on the break and not tell you how to correct your error! my instructor gave me the worst anxiety and made my experience the worst! and after 5 lessons i still felt i needed more because they barely showed me but only told me what i needed to do.. and the 5 hour is a joke pedro will tell you what the examiners at the road test site expects from you but its A LIE!!! they tell you everything you need to do to fail! you know this school is a joke when you have to purchase your own vehicle and pass your road test without their help! save your money and stay away from best way Read Less

Drivers are disrespectful, would never ever go here. Instructers are trash scumbags that just want peoples money would recommend anywhere but here Saw several of their cars out in the road, breaking many rules. Cutting people off and cursing at other drivers Read Less

Friendly driving school. Started taking in classes in feb and took and passed my road test in may. Joanna and Nate were my instructors and they were awesome! I went from not even knowing how to turn a car on to passing my test on the first try. Very affordable prices too! I only took a star off because they were always late. Other than that I would recommend 100%!!! Read Less

Took my classes here for my license. Paul was very knowledgeable and awesome. Took about six classes and I passed my road test by careless mistakes. Nice people the office, would definitely recommend them. Read Less

I am happy to write this review for Bestway driving school because after failing the road test 2 times with another school, Mr Pedro S. was professional, straight forward, and gave me the confidence that I needed in order to pass my road test 3rd time.  The school has very good instructors, and I recommend Bestway to anyone. I only needed 2 lessons with Bestway! Read Less

I was a little concerned about this school at first because there is barely any reviews but I needed something quick for my road test since it was so soon and needed lessons. I defiantly want to say i do not regret it , took 3 lessons with this school and John was My Instructor , he was very patient with me and knew exactly what to say and do to get me comfortable behind the wheel. I extremely recommend him , because of him i am now a Licensed Driver , Thank You So Much JOHN ! And thank you Best Way for being available for lessons last minute !! Read Less

I was very anxious to start driving and this school is great !All the instructors are great and very patient and the price is very affordable. They really walk you into it and they are very caring with their students. A big Shout out to Paul for all the dedication he puts into his work. I highly recommend him !Thank you Best way for helping me getting my license in a month ! Read Less

Wish I could give no star at all. They are all about the money plus their charges are outrageous. John (an instructor) keeps talking and complaining rather than guide. The saddest part is the $20 "hidden extra road test charge" they never mention after you ve made a payment at least. Read Less

I went here back in 2005 I had a very good instructor (i believe he was also the owner) I was able to pass my test in about 10 lessons with no other driving time.I dropped the review 2 stars because the instructor was late to almost every lesson.Overall I had a good experience and would recommend this school.
