I researched long and hard to choose a Driving School for my 16 year old daughter. I felt so lucky to have found Blue Bell. From the moment I first called and was greeted by Fran in the office my decision was clear. And then when Bob Cunningham showed up for Rachel's first lesson, I was immediately put at ease with the companies professionalism. Don't fall for anything less than the best when it comes to the safety and proper driver education training. Give these folks a call. Read Less

Signing our son up for lessons with Blue Bell Driving School was one of the best decisions we could have made. A few of our son's friends used BBDS in the past and they did well on their tests. We reached out to some parents who had good things to say. Bill Grinstead was our son's instructor and seems to be a pro at calming a novice driver's anxiety. Bill  was easy for us to communicate with as parents. He let us know exactly where our son was doing well and how he could improve. We were proud that our our son passed on his first try and appreciate everything that Bill and Blue Bell did to help him succeed. Read Less

Marcus made my daughter very comfortable behind the wheel, which I was failing at. After only two lessons, I saw a big change in her and her confidence behind the wheel. That made me feel much better. Then he taught her everything for the test and she passed the first time out - no problem. Thank you Marcus and Blue Bell Driving School. You're the best!!! Read Less

Shelley was a great instructor for my son. She was very patient, thorough and understood his needed areas of improvement. Shelley is also a very friendly and kind instructor, who was able to not only provide a relaxed lesson experience, but also instill confidence in order for him to pass the driving exam.

I bought three two-hour lessons and the exam package and it made a huge difference in the path to getting my licence. If you're nervous about driving I highly suggest Bluebell Driving School. Good Luck !!! Read Less

This school is a rip-off.  The instructor who worked with my son never actually gave my son any useful instruction.  He basically showed up, picked him up, and collected a paycheck.  I paid for this instructor to take my son to the exam.  AFTER the exam, the instructor told me that he "had been meaning to call me to tell me about some bad driving habits that my son had".  I never once received a phone call from him and he never told my son about any "bad driving habits" in the 8 hours of instruction I paid for.  When I called to ask for the refund, the owner refused to give me a refund.  Don't waste your money here- you're better off teaching your kid yourself and saving yourself hundreds of dollars.  It's very expensive and a complete scam.

Marcus was my driving instructor for 2 lessons and took me to my drivers test. He was friendly, helpful and always greeted me with a smile. I felt comfortable asking him any questions I may have had. He really focuses on the parallel parking and helps you relax if you're nervous while driving on roads. With that said, I did pass my drivers exam with no mistakes. I would recommend this business to anyone in need of their drivers license. I also suggest you ask for Marcus; he is terrific! Read Less

Marcus is a phenomenal driving instructor. Beyond that he's really just a great guy. You're in good hands and the instruction is worth every dollar. For new drivers, even if you have your license, I would highly recommend booking a couple 2 hour road sessions with him. I feel so much more confident and safe on the road having done 6 hours with him. Driving lessons through Blue Bell is one of the best investments you can make in yourself. 5/5 Read Less

These guys know their business.  Did the package with lessons and scheduling her test.  Best money I have spent in a long time.  The driving test is pretty simple at Huntingdon Valley--but that means that then take points for absurdly minute things---something that regular driving with a parent would not normally be highlighted.  And the fact that it is an instructor vs mom or dad helps the teenage brain accept the info too.  Our instructor --Bob Cunningham--always showed up on time or five minutes early, the coordination of scheduling the lessons was convenient, scheduling the test was great, and most importantly had a great rapport with our kiddo.  Would totally come back again for younger child when the time comes.Our kiddo passed the test on the first try--with a perfect score.  Thank you Bob and thank you Blue Bell Driving School!
