I don't know what all these bad comments are talking about. I had an AMAZING experience with Ferrari Driving School. My instructor was Laura and I couldn't be any happier. She was very professional and very patient with me. I passed my road test on my first try and if it wasn't for her I probably would have not passed. Thank you for everything Laura , you are the best! Anybody thinking about going to this school you should and pick Laura as your instructor, you will not regret. 👌🏼 Read Less

Let me start off by saying my Instructor Steven Rios was Amazing. Very calm and Encouraging and if it weren't for him I would have never passed my test today. He knows his stuff my parking was Perfect! He only works weekend so I unfortunately did not have him today. He was missed. I would have given 5 stars but the car I had for the Road test was darty, steering wheel not aligned it Reared to the left and The steering wheel was making an awful sound during parking. If I had n...ot been driving a Dodge Durango a big car I would have never passed. Although i passed on my first try it's really all thanks to Steven he told me from the beginning every Car is Different Expect that. It also helped that i had a 45min class before so i could get a good feel for the crap car... In the end even tho I had a bad car i passed and it well worth money. Thank you again Steven!

So I brought the groupon for the five hour class, and the class was awesome thanks to James! I was so pleased I signed up and paid for the evaluation class for $68. Which made no sense because a person can't tell you how many lessons you'll need, it's really until you feel comfortable. Whatever, this was my way of getting a feel of the road for the very first time as well as trying out this driving school. Well last night (July 12) I caught a bad allergic reaction my face is ...extremely broken out,and the meds prescribe cause extreme drowsiness. It was around 11pm. Ugh day before my evaluation. I feel extremely drowsy which cause me stay home from work so I called the office of Ferrari driving school to ask for to reschedule. The first call a gentle man told me just come in and try your best! Wait this is MY first time driving and you want me to drive drowsy. So I called back and explain the situation to someone who claimed to manager.. first explanation she clearly wasn't listen.. repeated it for second time, stressing that this was out my control and that I clearly wanted to RESCHEDULE not cancel. Long story short either I come in a risk my life and lives of others or pay $40 to reschedule! Soo $40 because of an emergency ? I clearly have discharged papers, meds, heck i even offer to FaceTime so she see my face. 😩 I'm shocked they advocate safe driving yet I was told by two ppl to just come in drive drowsy. I recommend the 5 hr class and give the one star for James. He deserves 5 stars on his own. Very dissapointed. Ver más Read Less

Avoid at all costs.  Spent 90 minutes travelling there from NYC.  Didn't help that there were problems on the N train and I got there 30 minutes late for a 5 hour class.  When I went in "Santiago" told me I was told I was out of luck. When I asked for a manager I was eventually told that it was"Santiago", who provided nothing but condescending answers to my questions.  He was obviously  trying to impress his coworker sitting next to him.  She did nothing but say she was writing down what happened.   I asked why there was no late policy posted he just said "we will have to think about that in the future." I had sent two e-mails earlier that day regarding other services offered by Ferrari and this course which went unanswered. Everything that is said in other reviews and else ware about their customer service and front office are true.  There is no thought of anticipating anything or fore warning customers about potential issues.  This is not something that one wants to see in a business that assists in licensing.  You literally feel that they are doing you a favor by being there.  There was a gentleman (who should be the actual manager) who tried to resolve the issue but Santiago was just an idiot and did nothing but make the situation worse.  There is so much more I could add but the point is made and from my own reading this is not a once off event.  I question the quality of other services they provide.  How the owners can employ an individual like Santiago and let the business get to this level is beyond me.As of a matter of full disclosure I did call Santiago an idiot several times.  I generally write positive reviews and do not get bothered easily but this place was just a farce.

I'm not a frequent Yelper, but my great experience at this school has urged me to share my thoughts in hopes others can have the same! My name is Barbara and I am a native New Yorker, I decided it was time to give driving ago and happy I fell upon the Ferrari Driving School and all it's instructors! After taking the DMV's (required) 5 hour course at the school, I was able to secure a road test with Ferrari using their car at the time of exam (very convenient). The package included a practical driving lesson prior to the road exam and I was lucky enough to be assigned to an instructor by the name of Robin! Robin was absolutely wonderful! Extremely passionate about teaching! Very insightful! Her lesson, technique and tips taught me enough to feel confident at the time of the road test! Robin is very professional, patient and polite. She really knows how to read individuals and adjust her teachings to that particular person to maximize results!If you decide to give driving a go, do yourself a favor and stop by the Ferrari driving school, where you have the will- they have the way! Not sure if they allow for this but if they do, request Robin. She will make the experience all the better! Best of luck to all! Read Less

I went to Ferrari to get my class A license I learned how to drive but they didn't teach me everything I needed to know for when I start working it's been five years since I became a professional tractor trailer driver and everything I know now I picked up on my own as I worked along the way which takes a while and lot of courage if your working in NYC but when comes to ally docking and every other backing technique you could think of I've learned on my own as I went along. Ferrari didn't teach me those techniques and that's actually the most important sector of being a tractor trailer driver is too know how to back up. I don't like wasting anybody's time but if you as my instructor was gonna spend time working on me I would have you rather make me do backing techniques than running up and down the highway learning how to turn and parallel parking cause turning and parrellel I could learn that on my own way easier than backing and I'm not gonna mention about certain instructors who like to harrass you for tips like if you was at a diner a bar or a barber shop believe me I'm not gonna take it there. bottom line is these people are not professionals and if you do plan to sign up with them I suggest whatever problems you have bring it up to the owners The Pintos and maybe he'll help cause he seems alittle ko ko himself but if you can't resolve nothing with him then just go some where else cause obviously it's not working out for you Read Less

Awesome, here I had three instructors for my class M licensing.  I forgot their name but I do remember them by face.  I loved having classes with these instructors though it was a little far from home. Instructors had different personalities but each helped throughout the learning experience and I hope by the time anyone comes access my review they are still working there. Instructor A- drove manual behind you I remember a yellow jeep and a car similar to a focus when he felt comfortable that you are ready to ride. That was the passive instructor of the three. This instructor makes sure the students know what he/she is doing right and then explaining how you can improve the skills you still need to sharpen as a beginner.  When he had to show you how to do something  he verbally tell you and if you did not understand he will show you on the bike you are using. Definitely knew what he was talking about and was able to proof himself on the two wheeler. Told a student- "you look really good on a motorcycle for a photo shoot, but the way you ride we will need to work on you a lot.  Where are the brakes? ___ so why do you bring down your feet before the motorcycle stops, you need your feet ON the bike to slow down." Unfortunately this student did it again... that was when instructor B made it clear...Instructor B- drove a scooter or motorcycle near you you more often and had a much harsher approach.  Still with a very good intention but much different tone this instructor will teach things to the student  but will stop you from ridding to call student out on something unsafe that happens after he had already explained how to do it safely.  Same scenario from above but this instructor would say, "I know you have drivers license, and I'm certain you don't put your feet on the ground while the car is moving, don't ever let me catch you putting your feet down while the motorcycle is moving waster than you can walk.  If I don't tell you now when you get your license and you do this on your own... your family will get a knock on your door to identify the body or you will be seriously injured, we need to avoid that."To me:I used to put the motorcycle on first gear and never put it on second the second day--Instructor A- you are a very safe rider and you doing very good, but I need you to be on second gear, i already taught you this. I know we are riding slow but you need to be able to get on second gear to reduce the likelihood of stalling the bike while doing the figure 8 and circles during the road test. Otherwise it would be fine to be on first gear. After I did it right a few times it was my turn to do it closer to instructor B after the third time he called out a student that was riding next to me for for using his front break I got nervous and forgot to switch to second gear before making the figure 8s"Instructor B- "why your bike sounds like it's on first gear when I asked you to do your figure 8's? (Right when I was about to say it's on second the bike stalled as soon as My figure 8 looked like a figure 6.) I saw you do it right many times, you ride very well, but I can't have you on first gear while making circles during the road test, it is unsafe. Do 10 figure 8 but after you do Each ONE I need you to stop get back on first gear and do it again. I don't want you to look stupid on something easy when you know how to do it and you been a very good leaner, the shifting needs to be on point"Oh boy that same day both instructors taught me so much I decided to schedule extra classes to learn more from them.  Very different personalities but they say if the nice one don't get to you the mean one will, anyways it's tuff love for their passion and they NEED you to be safe on the road because they don't want you to be on headline news for ending up dead for not learning how to safely operate. On the day of the road test I was nervous, and it was raining.  Another student asked if they can cancel the road test because it is raining. The instructor told him yes but it's up to you and we can come another day if you want to. Feeling insecure I also asked how do I cancel the road test.  The instructor told me that I should not cancel because He feels confident I am ready. That helped me a lot but I never rode on the rain. He tells me well too bad you going to ride on the rain today, same thing just that the road is wet, you  already wet so it's not like you can say you want to stay dry, I am confident you will pass so get used to the rain until it's your turn because you taking your test today, you been ready to pass.Oh my :-) I passed.  And the motorcycle feels a little different under the rain but no big deal.

After scanning through their reviews, I've decided this place is probably hit or miss. Luckily, I had a wonderful experience. I decided that I wanted to learn how to drive a manual transmission and there aren't a lot of places that will teach you to do so. I called on a weekend and was able to book a 2 hour appt ($139) for the following Sunday. The person I spoke with on the phone was Mariana and she was very nice and helpful. Note that they do require a 50% deposit for any lessons.My instructor was Camilo and he was awesome! We met at the school and then he drove about 10-15 minutes away to a less trafficky area. He asked me a few questions in the beginning to figure out where my knowledge/skill level was and then took off from there. He was very knowledgable and took me step by step explaining the mechanics behind driving a stick shift. I drove for probably about 1:45 hours of the two hour lesson, which was perfect. I needed to see Camilo drive for a bit to full grasp the concept prior to my driving. Of course, especially when I first started, I stalled quite a bit and Camilo was so patient. He never got annoyed or frustrated and encouraged my asking questions. That was key to my learning. At the end of the lesson, I actually felt quite comfortable driving stick. He also gave me a few tips while driving that I can apply when I'm driving automatic as well. The car I drove was a Camry (probably somewhere between '07-'10). Camilo said that the transmission was quite a bit beat up from so many students learning on it so if I did drive a newer car, it would probably be easier to shift compared to their camry. When I finished the lesson, I felt pretty confident but wanted one more hour with Camilo. Unfortunately, they only do two hour lessons. That stinks. So while I had originally booked 2 - 2 hour appts, they lost out on money because ended up cancelling my second lesson altogether as I didn't need another full two hours.Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Camilo as an instructor, new driver or experienced. He is very knowledgable and patient, which is the key to a driving instructor, whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. Read Less

I rarely if ever write reviews here on Yelp. So this is a big one! Monetarily learning to drive is a big commitment, but at the same time it is one of things one wants to learn right, once and forever. I did the 5 class session along with the 5hr course with Ferrari Driving school. Ivan was my driving instructor for all my classes. Ivan is an marines veteran, and teaching people to drive is his way of giving back to the community. He is a great instructor, really patient, and it was great driving around in the Bronx with him, learning more about  the history of the neighbourhoods we were driving through, places he grew up in. Most of my scheduling was handled by Melissa at the Bronx office who was also pretty great in making sure I was schedule classes at times that were convenient for me. Many driving schools in the cityteach their students in old, battered up cars. Ferrari on the other hand has great cars,which run well with good upkeep. And I was able to pass my driving test in the first shot! You want to only learn how to drive one, and Ferrari is definitely a place to go to do just that. Read Less

I had a great experience overall at Ferrari. The classes were a little pricey but I think it was money well spent. I always had great customer service over the phone or in person at the Bronx office and everyone was very good about communicating with me. However the real rockstar was my instructor Luisa! I took all of my lessons with her and am grateful to have been assigned such a patient and thorough instructor.  She always had a positive attitude and a lot of patience since I was a pretty nervous driver at first. She took me on the highway several times and made parallel parking seem like a painless process. I passed my road test on the first try. I recommend her 1000%! Read Less

Alfredo is great! Very patient, makes you feel at ease behind the wheel, and dedicated to what he does. He was flexible with scheduling lessons, pick-up locations, and he was always on time. He scheduled many lessons with me directly so I did not have to go through the office, which were not so flexible. They assured me they had many classes available after 6pm but once I tried to schedule these classes, I was told they had almost nothing available. I had a road test scheduled and only two lessons down because of this. Thankfully once I switched instructors to Alfredo to be able to do weekday classes, he was very helpful.There were many times the office did not email me receipt of payment, schedule of classes or information until I had to call and request it. One time I made a payment of several hundred dollars and they did not process it, I had to call back to pay them a second time because the girl simply never applied the payment. The office definitely needs some better organization skills. Ferrari is pricy but worth it if you pass your road test, which I did! Thanks Alfredo! Read Less

After about 5 lessons with Ferrari, I took my test and PASSED! All of my instructors were great and offered different pointers based on their experiences. My first instructor, Erving, was very calm and patient with my nervousness behind the wheel. He offered me a lot of information to help me pass and improve my driving. I would definitely recommend Ferrari. Thanks!!! Read Less

If you're a new driver --like I was-- this is a good school to go to. 90 min lessons and good instructors. I stuck with the same one (Yobani) throughout my time in the school. He was great. On the day of the road test I had Robert who gave me key pointers which helped out as well. I will say, however, depending on how many lessons you take, it can get a little pricey ($700 range), but to me it was worth it because I learned a lot. Drove on different types of roads and neighborhoods and on the highway. Read Less

My son is trying to e independent so he enrolled inone class and then a 5 hr pre licensing class. Th driving class was $68 and the pre licensing was $40 which he had it today. I discovered there was a groupon yesterday with 20% off which made the cost $17 not $40. I live chatted with someone who told me someone will get back to me re I wanted to cancel his calss and use the very discounted groupon.No one got back to and my son ended up paying $23 more than he should have. I told him not to go there again and they stink for never addressing this issue. The school is deceptive and overpriced. In face class is reduced to $16 so he was overcharged by $24. Read Less

I would have to say I would give the instructors Pablo and Stephanie five stars if I can rate only the instructors And administration differently. For the most part I've had to constantly call the administration office in order to find out when my test was even to schedule my instructor no one would call me ahead of time to let me know that I have a confirmed appointment. I would definitely give the company itself no stars for their poor communication and lack of understanding of individuals needs and lack of their professionalism, The only thing that really Saved their skin is that they have amazing instructors and I hope that they compensate them well. Ferrari if you're reading this I hope that you treat your Brooklyn instructors very well because if it wasn't for them you would have no business. For anyone reading this I would just schedule your driving lessons with the school and I would take as many classes with the instructors with their Brooklyn locations but I would not schedule my road test through the school; they are horrible.Shouts out to Pablo and Stephanie for building the confidence in students and working with them.

Instructor arrived late, then took a long, leisurely cigarette smoke "break" while we waited inside. He was joking and laughing and kept saying he, "had a life too and would try to get us out of there fast." It's supposed to be 4 hours. Was only supposed to be 15 people in the class but last week's was canceled apparently so it was 2 weeks worth of people which ended up being 21 people at 25 minutes past start time at which point we were told there were 5 more people we were waiting for so we wouldn't be starting until everyone was here. ?!?!?! The 4 hour class started more than 1 hour late. In addition to this, it's over $100 more expensive than other places. AND there was a Groupon for 50% off which I only found out at the counter to check in and the staff just laughed at me. Don't bother - this place is a joke. Read Less

After our experience today I am not sure if I can give them a one star, I cannot find a 0 star button.My wife had called them about enrolling in driving lessons and tentatively confirmed a date , but they go ahead and charge her credit card without informing her. Also no one told her that her card was charged till the day that she had tentatively confirmed earlier .I understand it's not a charity, but they should take a 101 on customer service.  Also the customer service personnel yelled at my wife over the phone as she requested them to reschedule the date and said that's not an option.I know their drivers are good so this review is only directed at their customer service.Note: If someone fromFerrari is reading this review I suggest taking this seriously , I very rarely give a business such a bad rating.

I got a lesson with Gary, he's a really nice instructor and cares about you passing I was supposed to get another lesson this Saturday but I was able to get a test for today and got my license so I won't be needing it anymore.I called to get a rush test and use of car, now that's where the 3 star comes in, I think that $305 is too much for a rush test and the car the test alone was $150 I'd understand if they charge even $100 but $150 and it can be a month away so is not really that rushed for $150 I'd expect to get a day no more than 2 weeks.And they should explain to first time customers that the first lesson is cheaper due to a "coupon" that they used when I scheduled my second lesson they charged $20+ when I asked why they said that the first time a coupon was used.Bottom line is for driving lessons (with Gary) I'll recommend Ferrari but for the rush test and driving lessons I'd recommend beep beep auto school.

Honestly one of the worst companies I have ever done business with very unprofessional, with there communication with there customers. They charged for a bill higher then what I owed and refused too give me my money back on time. All they worry about is collecting there money and not making sure you have what it takes to pass your road test. Jay from the Bronx location is very disrespectful always has an attitude like he does not enjoy his job. They are highly overpriced for there lessons. I wish I would have done more research before deciding to choose Ferrari driving school. They do not know how to conduct business properly and will give you the run around until you choose to just give up. Hardly impossible to schedule a lesson. Don't ever cancel your lesson late they will take your money with a smile on there face and tell you too pay for another one. Read Less

This is purely for Michelle of the Brooklyn office.... SHE WAS AWESOME! I just had a pretty long class session with her, but the whole time was very comfortable and profoundly informative. She told me what to do and I did it! I couldnt ask for a better instructor. FINALLY, I got someone who knows what they are talking about and isnt at all weird. The best thing was the parking.... normally I would make all kinds of extra moves with parking, but with the way she showed me (as opposed to the other blah ways) WAS FREAKING PERFECT! I was parking in 3 moves with ease! It was a real confidence booster. She wasnt even feeling all that well when she was giving me the lesson, BUT SHE DID ANYWAY! I must say I respect that allot... its rare you find a teacher (in anything) that has her level of commitment to her students. She gets 5 stars from me....

I couldn't have dreamed of a better learn-to-drive experience.  Literally, I had no good dreams about driving.  It's been about 7 years since I was legally allowed to learn to drive, but I'm proud to say that I recently passed my NYC road test!I cancelled my first enrollment with Ferrari, but I joined again and got set up with Gigi as a driving instructor.  I'd say waiting was definitely a blessing, because she is truly an amazing instructor and person.  She is patient, comforting, encouraging, and most importantly honest about your progress.  She did an excellent job of judging what I could and could not handle, pushing me enough every lesson to gain more confidence and skill, even around my most dreaded areas.  Throughout my experience I always felt that she really cared not only that I passed but that I also remained a safe driver once I got my license.  I passed on the first attempt, with Gigi being there every step of the way.  I cannot rave enough about this lovely woman.  I know she has many happy students of all ages and cultures.  I would personally recommend her to anyone considering getting driving lessons.  Love you Gigi!Outside of the actual driving lessons, I also went to Ferrari for the 5 hour class.  Everyone, especially the lecturer, was very gracious and knowledgeable.  I learned a great deal and felt much more confident continuing out on the road.  At the end of the class, the owner even came and said a few words of encouragement to all of us and gave me the sense that they really prided themselves on not putting any crazy, bad, or inconsiderate drivers out on the NYC road.Overall I liked how everyone at Ferrari that I encountered, especially my instructor Gigi, cared that I was a safe and defensive driver who could continue to be a good influence on my passengers.

One of my girlfriends had planned on taking a defensive driving course in order to reduce the amount of points she had on her license, from the share of accidents she had been in throughout the years. She decided on taking the course at the Ferrari Driving School which isn't too far from where she lives. Since we were planning to hang out that Saturday anyway, I agreed to also take it because I learned that it would lower my insurance and help me save money so why not! Luckily she also found a deal on Yelp for the Ferrari Driving School for new customers. The deal was to pay only $100 for a $115 voucher.  The course was around 6 hours long and the instructor was very good. He gave us important information about defensive driving techniques, proper driver behavior and attitude, and traffic law. It had been a while since I was taught all this information, but it was definitely helpful and a good refresher. Read Less

So I brought the groupon for the five hour class, and the class was awesome thanks to James! I was so pleased I signed up and paid for the evaluation class for $68. Which made no sense because a person can't tell you how many lessons you'll need, it's really until you feel comfortable. Whatever, this was my way of getting a feel of the road for the very first time as well as trying out this driving school. Well last night (July 12) I caught a bad allergic reaction my face is ...extremely broken out,and the meds prescribe cause extreme drowsiness. It was around 11pm. Ugh day before my evaluation. I feel extremely drowsy which cause me stay home from work so I called the office of Ferrari driving school to ask for to reschedule. The first call a gentle man told me just come in and try your best! Wait this is MY first time driving and you want me to drive drowsy.

So I brought the groupon for the five hour class, and the class was awesome thanks to James! I was so pleased I signed up and paid for the evaluation class for $68. Which made no sense because a person can't tell you how many lessons you'll need, it's really until you feel comfortable. Whatever, this was my way of getting a feel of the road for the very first time as well as trying out this driving school. Well last night (July 12) I caught a bad allergic reaction my face is extremely broken out,and the meds prescribe cause extreme drowsiness. It was around 11pm. Ugh day before my evaluation. I feel extremely drowsy which cause me stay home from work so I called the office of Ferrari driving school to ask for to reschedule. The first call a gentle man told me just come in and try your best! Wait this is MY first time driving and you want me to drive drowsy.

Avoid at all costs.  Spent 90 minutes travelling there from NYC.  Didn't help that there were problems on the N train and I got there 30 minutes late for a 5 hour class.  When I went in "Santiago" told me I was told I was out of luck. When I asked for a manager I was eventually told that it was"Santiago", who provided nothing but condescending answers to my questions.  He was obviously  trying to impress his coworker sitting next to him.  She did nothing but say she was writing down what happened.   I asked why there was no late policy posted he just said "we will have to think about that in the future." I had sent two e-mails earlier that day regarding other services offered by Ferrari and this course which went unanswered. Everything that is said in other reviews and else ware about their customer service and front office are true.  There is no thought of anticipating anything or fore warning customers about potential issues.  This is not something that one wants to see in a business that assists in licensing.  You literally feel that they are doing you a favor by being there.  There was a gentleman (who should be the actual manager) who tried to resolve the issue but Santiago was just an idiot and did nothing but make the situation worse.  There is so much more I could add but the point is made and from my own reading this is not a once off event.  I question the quality of other services they provide.  How the owners can employ an individual like Santiago and let the business get to this level is beyond me.As of a matter of full disclosure I did call Santiago an idiot several times.  I generally write positive reviews and do not get bothered easily but this place was just a farce.

I'm not a frequent Yelper, but my great experience at this school has urged me to share my thoughts in hopes others can have the same! My name is Barbara and I am a native New Yorker, I decided it was time to give driving ago and happy I fell upon the Ferrari Driving School and all it's instructors! After taking the DMV's (required) 5 hour course at the school, I was able to secure a road test with Ferrari using their car at the time of exam (very convenient). The package included a practical driving lesson prior to the road exam and I was lucky enough to be assigned to an instructor by the name of Robin! Robin was absolutely wonderful! Extremely passionate about teaching! Very insightful! Her lesson, technique and tips taught me enough to feel confident at the time of the road test! Robin is very professional, patient and polite. She really knows how to read individuals and adjust her teachings to that particular person to maximize results!If you decide to give driving a go, do yourself a favor and stop by the Ferrari driving school, where you have the will- they have the way! Not sure if they allow for this but if they do, request Robin. She will make the experience all the better! Best of luck to all! Read Less

I went to Ferrari to get my class A license I learned how to drive but they didn't teach me everything I needed to know for when I start working it's been five years since I became a professional tractor trailer driver and everything I know now I picked up on my own as I worked along the way which takes a while and lot of courage if your working in NYC but when comes to ally docking and every other backing technique you could think of I've learned on my own as I went along. Ferrari didn't teach me those techniques and that's actually the most important sector of being a tractor trailer driver is too know how to back up. I don't like wasting anybody's time but if you as my instructor was gonna spend time working on me I would have you rather make me do backing techniques than running up and down the highway learning how to turn and parallel parking cause turning and parrellel I could learn that on my own way easier than backing and I'm not gonna mention about certain instructors who like to harrass you for tips like if you was at a diner a bar or a barber shop believe me I'm not gonna take it there. bottom line is these people are not professionals and if you do plan to sign up with them I suggest whatever problems you have bring it up to the owners The Pintos and maybe he'll help cause he seems alittle ko ko himself but if you can't resolve nothing with him then just go some where else cause obviously it's not working out for you Read Less

Awesome, here I had three instructors for my class M licensing.  I forgot their name but I do remember them by face.  I loved having classes with these instructors though it was a little far from home. Instructors had different personalities but each helped throughout the learning experience and I hope by the time anyone comes access my review they are still working there. Instructor A- drove manual behind you I remember a yellow jeep and a car similar to a focus when he felt comfortable that you are ready to ride. That was the passive instructor of the three. This instructor makes sure the students know what he/she is doing right and then explaining how you can improve the skills you still need to sharpen as a beginner.  When he had to show you how to do something  he verbally tell you and if you did not understand he will show you on the bike you are using. Definitely knew what he was talking about and was able to proof himself on the two wheeler. Told a student- "you look really good on a motorcycle for a photo shoot, but the way you ride we will need to work on you a lot.  Where are the brakes? ___ so why do you bring down your feet before the motorcycle stops, you need your feet ON the bike to slow down." Unfortunately this student did it again... that was when instructor B made it clear...Instructor B- drove a scooter or motorcycle near you you more often and had a much harsher approach.  Still with a very good intention but much different tone this instructor will teach things to the student  but will stop you from ridding to call student out on something unsafe that happens after he had already explained how to do it safely.  Same scenario from above but this instructor would say, "I know you have drivers license, and I'm certain you don't put your feet on the ground while the car is moving, don't ever let me catch you putting your feet down while the motorcycle is moving waster than you can walk.  If I don't tell you now when you get your license and you do this on your own... your family will get a knock on your door to identify the body or you will be seriously injured, we need to avoid that."To me:I used to put the motorcycle on first gear and never put it on second the second day--Instructor A- you are a very safe rider and you doing very good, but I need you to be on second gear, i already taught you this. I know we are riding slow but you need to be able to get on second gear to reduce the likelihood of stalling the bike while doing the figure 8 and circles during the road test. Otherwise it would be fine to be on first gear. After I did it right a few times it was my turn to do it closer to instructor B after the third time he called out a student that was riding next to me for for using his front break I got nervous and forgot to switch to second gear before making the figure 8s"Instructor B- "why your bike sounds like it's on first gear when I asked you to do your figure 8's? (Right when I was about to say it's on second the bike stalled as soon as My figure 8 looked like a figure 6.) I saw you do it right many times, you ride very well, but I can't have you on first gear while making circles during the road test, it is unsafe. Do 10 figure 8 but after you do Each ONE I need you to stop get back on first gear and do it again. I don't want you to look stupid on something easy when you know how to do it and you been a very good leaner, the shifting needs to be on point"Oh boy that same day both instructors taught me so much I decided to schedule extra classes to learn more from them.  Very different personalities but they say if the nice one don't get to you the mean one will, anyways it's tuff love for their passion and they NEED you to be safe on the road because they don't want you to be on headline news for ending up dead for not learning how to safely operate. On the day of the road test I was nervous, and it was raining.  Another student asked if they can cancel the road test because it is raining. The instructor told him yes but it's up to you and we can come another day if you want to. Feeling insecure I also asked how do I cancel the road test.  The instructor told me that I should not cancel because He feels confident I am ready. That helped me a lot but I never rode on the rain. He tells me well too bad you going to ride on the rain today, same thing just that the road is wet, you  already wet so it's not like you can say you want to stay dry, I am confident you will pass so get used to the rain until it's your turn because you taking your test today, you been ready to pass.Oh my :-) I passed.  And the motorcycle feels a little different under the rain but no big deal.

After scanning through their reviews, I've decided this place is probably hit or miss. Luckily, I had a wonderful experience. I decided that I wanted to learn how to drive a manual transmission and there aren't a lot of places that will teach you to do so. I called on a weekend and was able to book a 2 hour appt ($139) for the following Sunday. The person I spoke with on the phone was Mariana and she was very nice and helpful. Note that they do require a 50% deposit for any lessons.My instructor was Camilo and he was awesome! We met at the school and then he drove about 10-15 minutes away to a less trafficky area. He asked me a few questions in the beginning to figure out where my knowledge/skill level was and then took off from there. He was very knowledgable and took me step by step explaining the mechanics behind driving a stick shift. I drove for probably about 1:45 hours of the two hour lesson, which was perfect. I needed to see Camilo drive for a bit to full grasp the concept prior to my driving. Of course, especially when I first started, I stalled quite a bit and Camilo was so patient. He never got annoyed or frustrated and encouraged my asking questions. That was key to my learning. At the end of the lesson, I actually felt quite comfortable driving stick. He also gave me a few tips while driving that I can apply when I'm driving automatic as well. The car I drove was a Camry (probably somewhere between '07-'10). Camilo said that the transmission was quite a bit beat up from so many students learning on it so if I did drive a newer car, it would probably be easier to shift compared to their camry. When I finished the lesson, I felt pretty confident but wanted one more hour with Camilo. Unfortunately, they only do two hour lessons. That stinks. So while I had originally booked 2 - 2 hour appts, they lost out on money because ended up cancelling my second lesson altogether as I didn't need another full two hours.Overall, it was a great experience and I would recommend Camilo as an instructor, new driver or experienced. He is very knowledgable and patient, which is the key to a driving instructor, whether it's an automatic or manual transmission. Read Less

I rarely if ever write reviews here on Yelp. So this is a big one! Monetarily learning to drive is a big commitment, but at the same time it is one of things one wants to learn right, once and forever. I did the 5 class session along with the 5hr course with Ferrari Driving school. Ivan was my driving instructor for all my classes. Ivan is an marines veteran, and teaching people to drive is his way of giving back to the community. He is a great instructor, really patient, and it was great driving around in the Bronx with him, learning more about  the history of the neighbourhoods we were driving through, places he grew up in. Most of my scheduling was handled by Melissa at the Bronx office who was also pretty great in making sure I was schedule classes at times that were convenient for me. Many driving schools in the cityteach their students in old, battered up cars. Ferrari on the other hand has great cars,which run well with good upkeep. And I was able to pass my driving test in the first shot! You want to only learn how to drive one, and Ferrari is definitely a place to go to do just that. Read Less

Alfredo is great! Very patient, makes you feel at ease behind the wheel, and dedicated to what he does. He was flexible with scheduling lessons, pick-up locations, and he was always on time. He scheduled many lessons with me directly so I did not have to go through the office, which were not so flexible. They assured me they had many classes available after 6pm but once I tried to schedule these classes, I was told they had almost nothing available. I had a road test scheduled and only two lessons down because of this. Thankfully once I switched instructors to Alfredo to be able to do weekday classes, he was very helpful.There were many times the office did not email me receipt of payment, schedule of classes or information until I had to call and request it. One time I made a payment of several hundred dollars and they did not process it, I had to call back to pay them a second time because the girl simply never applied the payment. The office definitely needs some better organization skills. Ferrari is pricy but worth it if you pass your road test, which I did! Thanks Alfredo! Read Less

She gave me advice and pointers and I aced the test. Thanks Melissa and Stallin for all of the help. Jay was also awesome and looked out for me a lot during the process. Great school! I'll definitely be back for my CDL! Read Less

I got a lesson with Gary, he's a really nice instructor and cares about you passing I was supposed to get another lesson this Saturday but I was able to get a test for today and got my license so I won't be needing it anymore.I called to get a rush test and use of car, now that's where the 3 star comes in, I think that $305 is too much for a rush test and the car the test alone was $150 I'd understand if they charge even $100 but $150 and it can be a month away so is not really that rushed for $150 I'd expect to get a day no more than 2 weeks.And they should explain to first time customers that the first lesson is cheaper due to a "coupon" that they used when I scheduled my second lesson they charged $20+ when I asked why they said that the first time a coupon was used.Bottom line is for driving lessons (with Gary) I'll recommend Ferrari but for the rush test and driving lessons I'd recommend beep beep auto school.

Honestly one of the worst companies I have ever done business with very unprofessional, with there communication with there customers. They charged for a bill higher then what I owed and refused too give me my money back on time. All they worry about is collecting there money and not making sure you have what it takes to pass your road test. Jay from the Bronx location is very disrespectful always has an attitude like he does not enjoy his job. They are highly overpriced for there lessons. I wish I would have done more research before deciding to choose Ferrari driving school. They do not know how to conduct business properly and will give you the run around until you choose to just give up. Hardly impossible to schedule a lesson. Don't ever cancel your lesson late they will take your money with a smile on there face and tell you too pay for another one. Read Less

I took the 5 hour class it went good, I was promised that I was in great hands by Jayhowever every time i called to schedule a lesson he said he would call me back and never called me. It was so hard to stay in contact with him so I canceled my lessons completely. I received 2 lessons 1 with a female which i barely learned anything and 1 with Gary he was amazing he explained everything and was really patient. If i could continue my lessons with only Gary i would. Not sure if i will recommend this driving school with family/Friends to make matters worse i live across the street so there was no excuse to why Jay could not keep in touch. Read Less

This driving school is easy to get to. I'm glad I called to find out the prices. They are very professional online, on the phone and in person. The instructors are wonderful and you can tell they're experienced and are very knowledgable. The main guy Jay was very friendly and welcoming and remembers his clients. I picked Ferrari because of their professionalism and affordability. I took my evaluation lesson with Elizabeth and she is the absolute best. She recommended I take 6 lessons and I took them all with her.  She is patient amicable and I recommend everyone to book their lessons with her. Thanks to her observations and recommendations I passed my road test after only 6 lessons. Her calming and reassuring demeanor helped me feel comfortable before my road test and it made me feel like I had a friend with me for the road test. Elizabeth is the best. Read Less

This school is horrible its dirty and dingy and has terrible lighting. Heck look at the awning out front its all ripped and faded away. The one staff member "Elise" that I dealt with was the most arrogant, uncooperative full of ghetto attitude I've ever seen. She told me she would not help me get a grant because of my driving record then proceeded to start laughing at me. All I needed for the grant was a schedule of classes available, that was it. She refused and said I would NEVER get a grant , well guess what the very next day I was approved for the grant and took my business to "Northside Driving School".who was more then happy to give me a simple schedule of classes without berating me and telling me I will never get the grant.Avoid this driving school by all means!

This is purely for Michelle of the Brooklyn office.... SHE WAS AWESOME! I just had a pretty long class session with her, but the whole time was very comfortable and profoundly informative. She told me what to do and I did it! I couldnt ask for a better instructor. FINALLY, I got someone who knows what they are talking about and isnt at all weird. The best thing was the parking.... normally I would make all kinds of extra moves with parking, but with the way she showed me (as opposed to the other blah ways) WAS FREAKING PERFECT! I was parking in 3 moves with ease! It was a real confidence booster. She wasnt even feeling all that well when she was giving me the lesson, BUT SHE DID ANYWAY! I must say I respect that allot... its rare you find a teacher (in anything) that has her level of commitment to her students. She gets 5 stars from me.... Ferrari would do well to hire more instructors like her =) Read Less

I recently passed my road test on my second try thanks to these guys! The last school I went to, I felt like I still wasn't as prepared as I should have been even after shelling out money for 10 lessons. After failing the first time and letting 3 years pass by, I was determined to pass before my ID expired. Robert made me feel comfortable and confident only after 3 lessons. On test day, I was confident in my abilities to drive and park well. I was a nervous wreck but I passed with little points racked up. Thanks again guys!!! Read Less

I couldn't have dreamed of a better learn-to-drive experience.  Literally, I had no good dreams about driving.  It's been about 7 years since I was legally allowed to learn to drive, but I'm proud to say that I recently passed my NYC road test!I cancelled my first enrollment with Ferrari, but I joined again and got set up with Gigi as a driving instructor.  I'd say waiting was definitely a blessing, because she is truly an amazing instructor and person.  She is patient, comforting, encouraging, and most importantly honest about your progress.  She did an excellent job of judging what I could and could not handle, pushing me enough every lesson to gain more confidence and skill, even around my most dreaded areas.  Throughout my experience I always felt that she really cared not only that I passed but that I also remained a safe driver once I got my license.  I passed on the first attempt, with Gigi being there every step of the way.  I cannot rave enough about this lovely woman.  I know she has many happy students of all ages and cultures.  I would personally recommend her to anyone considering getting driving lessons.  Love you Gigi!Outside of the actual driving lessons, I also went to Ferrari for the 5 hour class.  Everyone, especially the lecturer, was very gracious and knowledgeable.  I learned a great deal and felt much more confident continuing out on the road.  At the end of the class, the owner even came and said a few words of encouragement to all of us and gave me the sense that they really prided themselves on not putting any crazy, bad, or inconsiderate drivers out on the NYC road.Overall I liked how everyone at Ferrari that I encountered, especially my instructor Gigi, cared that I was a safe and defensive driver who could continue to be a good influence on my passengers.

One of my girlfriends had planned on taking a defensive driving course in order to reduce the amount of points she had on her license, from the share of accidents she had been in throughout the years. She decided on taking the course at the Ferrari Driving School which isn't too far from where she lives. Since we were planning to hang out that Saturday anyway, I agreed to also take it because I learned that it would lower my insurance and help me save money so why not! Luckily she also found a deal on Yelp for the Ferrari Driving School for new customers. The deal was to pay only $100 for a $115 voucher.  The course was around 6 hours long and the instructor was very good. He gave us important information about defensive driving techniques, proper driver behavior and attitude, and traffic law. It had been a while since I was taught all this information, but it was definitely helpful and a good refresher. Read Less

Since getting my license with Ferrari, I have upgraded & also gotten my Commercial License. They offer a great study course, it has the question & the answer to study from along with practice tests that are similar to the DMV test. I took my Bus Lessons with Ricardo who I must say is an AMAZING Instructor!! He is so patient & detailed in his training. He is honest in his evaluations of your driving and will focus on helping you correct the things that you are weakest in. During all of my training he made me feel very comfortable and confident in my driving. Even after I'd make a mistake and put myself down, he would find the positive and bring the focus to that. I definitely recommend Ricardo if your looking to get your CDL BPS License. Read Less
