I had an amazing experience with Golden Crown Drving school and it's the best drving school for you to get your CDL! And I couldn't thank the school and the amazing Drving Teacher Julio! When I started I thought I could not get my CDL and he taught me everything I needed to know and gave great advice on parking the bus and much much more! And thanks to Julio and the Golden Crown Drving school I was able to get my CDL and pass the road test on my first try and I'm only 18!!! Please if your trying to get a CDL (Class B for now) please come here and ask for Julio. You will not Regert picking Julio and the Golden Crown drving school!!! Read Less

I went from no experience driving to driving with confidence in less than 3 weeks under the tutelage of my instructor, Peter, from Golden Crown. My instructor kept a calm, lighthearted perspective throughout and ensured there would be no surprises on the road test. I passed on my first attempt.
Thanks Peter and Golden Crown for helping me accomplish something that was long overdue. Read Less

Instructor Paul brought different car on the test day than the one I practiced on. Every one emphasises on giving the test on the same car you practiced on. The car my instructor brought on test day was really old and in poor condition. It barely accelerated and I had to push break twice to stop. Extremely expensive lessons and they don't teach you much either. Just basics. Really poor service. I'd recommend going with another school if you can. And I didn't pass the test but was able to pass the test on my own car a few weeks later. Read Less

My wife and I completed our 5 hour course, a private lesson and the driving test here. Everything went very smooth and slick. We both have a German driving licence since the mid-1990s so I would say we're experienced drivers. Nevertheless to get the NY licence we chose a private lesson to make sure we get thru the road test on the first attempt - and it was definitely worth it. Our instructor Craig pointed out the things that are important on the road test and also refreshed our knowledge and pointed out little habits that have crept in over two decades of driving. He picked up very quickly the things we were already good at and focused on the thing that needed improving. I can only recommend Craig if you're looking for a brilliant instructor. One star deducted since the rooms at their White Plains location could do with an upgrade. Read Less

I just passed my road test and it is all thanks to the best instructor Paul. Parallel parking is challenging to everybody but he made it seem so simple. His parallel park technique is super easy which makes you feel even more confident when it is time to take the test. He would make you feel comfortable in the car the moment you go in. I highly recommend him just like all these reviews made me choose him as my instructor. Also my first class was with Walter Charchalis and he is a good a patient instructor as well definitely recommend him. Gold Crown Driving School is the best in the Westchester area. Read Less

Golden Crown Driving School is an excellent resource to prepare for the road test and driving in general. My instructor Dave was amazing and without him, I'm not sure I would have passed my road test. It was clear that he genuinely wanted me to succeed and he did everything he could to prepare me. In our lessons he brought me on to roads that were out of my comfort zone but I was never scared. He made me feel at ease and that was one of the greatest feelings especially considering I had been so hesitant to start driving in the first place. Thank you Dave and thank you Golden Crown Driving School for making this such a positive experience. Read Less

I highly recommend Craig! He was a great teacher for me, because he focused on making me drive "in the real world", pay attention to road signs, street names, and not just follow instructions like a zombie. I passed my test within 3 minutes and the examiner was surprised to hear that this is my first license. And although I already have my license, I plan on taking few more driving classes with Craig so I can practice driving on the highway. Good luck everyone! Read Less

"Let us not look in anger nor forward in fear but, around in AWERENESS". Today it was and amazing road test without a doubt by the side of the best instructor Craig King. However he has to work in his corny jokes, he went over and beyond expectations of not only skills but in critical thinking because, your body can do anything. It's your brain you have to convince. In addition; I know him very little and felt Iike I know my life and is very important that not only make you feel confident but , comfortable, safe. I really send him the best wish today and very day and a big thanks. I highly recommended him to any one looking forward for a driving test. Read Less

He is an excellent driving instructor who prioritizes his students' best interests and safety.

I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn how to drive well and safely to seek Craig's help. Read Less

Just passed my road test today. Mr. Paul Stokes is a great teacher. He is a very nice guy, and I always felt safe driving with him. He really helps you get comfortable with everything you will need on the road test (parallel parking, 3-point turn, turning at an intersection, etc.) and for driving in general (driving on the highway, changing lanes - even driving using a GPS!). I had multiple lessons with Paul, and also one lesson with Mr. Craig King, who was also a very good teacher. Overall, I had a very good experience with the Golden Crown Driving School, and I can definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to start learning to drive and prepare for their road test. Read Less
