This place is horrible! If you want to learn how to drive, definitely do not come to this place. However, if you already know how to drive and only need to take the test and watch the video, then by all means use this place. This place doesn't care about its students at all! All they care about is making money. The instructor I had did not TEACH whatsoever. All he did was TELL me what to do in the hopes that I'll memorize it. He never explained to me why I do whatever he tells me to do. Additionally, the lady who is in charge of the schedules and money is very rude. I signed up to take classes in January and as a rule of the DMV, the pre-licensing course completion certificate only lasts one year; that means that I'll only be able to take the road test within that one year. After that year, I'll have to pay again for another certificate. I paid for 2 road tests. I wanted to take a test in June, but she told me the schedule is full and to call one month in advance to reserve a spot. So I decided to take the road test in October, and I called a full month earlier and she tells me that the spots are full again. As a side note, I go to college out of the city so I can only take the test during my breaks, therefore I can only request specific dates. The next time I call, I call a full month and a half early to request a road test in November, which she tells me is full again. With that being said, the lady made no effort to call me ahead to time to let me know when the schedule for road tests opened up even though I told her that I wanted to take the tests during those time. I ended up taking the test in December and failed. Now I can't take the test a second time, even though I paid for 2 road tests because my certificate has expired. So they made extra money off of me even though it was THEIR responsibility to help me schedule the road test. I did my job and called her way ahead of time to reserve a road test but every time she said it was full. Honestly, if she actually cared about the students, she would have notified me as soon as the schedule opened up for the month I wanted to take the road test. When I finally got to take the test in December, I chose Staten Island and I had to pay a $15 toll. HOWEVER, I didn't realize I would be going to Staten Island with 3 other students to take the test. We each had to pay $15--for a total of $45, an extra $30 above the actual toll. It's outrageous how they are so dishonest and cheat money off their students. Because of these other students, I had to wait outside in 30 degree weather for TWO hours, walking around in circles like an idiot because it was so cold. This place may offer lessons for cheap but I would honestly have chosen a more expensive place that TAUGHT students how to drive. Save yourself the trouble and don't go to this place please. Read Less
