Not Recommended! Read what happened to me.: I DO NOT recomend this driving school, for the below specified reasons:<br/>
1. They cheat in their advertisement. If you check the webpage, it says that if you register before a specific date, then you will get $100 off. Well, that 'special offer' is there all the time: there is no discount, it is simply a cheap marketing technique and they charge you the full price all the time.<br/>
2. For the in-class lessons, the instructor will waste your time by giving you a 1 HOUR break for another 30-40 minutes of class, just to say that he has completed his in-class hours. You don't want to waste your time like that: either teach me something, or let me go!<br/>
3. When you pay for the package, the fees for pick-up and drop-off are included in the package. What happened with my instructor (Sandy) was that she made me take subway to get to some 'convenient-for-her' location, costing me about $50, and when I first tried to tell her that the pick-up and drop-off is her responsibility and I paid for it, she said she can do it but then she will not teach me the way she should (BLACKMAIL) and will not be responsible for covering the material.<br/>
4. Further, I paid $120 for the so called G2 package, which included the $75 for the pick-up, drop-off and the car to use for the exam, plus $45 for 1 hour of driving at the TEST location as a mock test. What she did instead was she counted the 1 hour of driving class starting from the 'pick-up' (of course the pick-up happened NOT at my place) and I ended up driving for 1 hour to the test location. THIS IS CHEATING! I did not receive what I paid for. <br/>
5. To sum up, I will give the information about the instructors: the in-class one kept telling how he was the worst driver and according to my count he has had over 5 major accidents (from his stories of "..this happened to me.."); the in-car instructor was pregnant (I mean 5-7 months), and all she thought about was how to drop-me off somewhere where she picks up the next student. I was in car when another student was driving and she was texting at that time, when a MAJOR accident was about to happen: a car almost hit the car from the side at a hgh speed.<br/><br/>To sum this all up, my experience here should warn you to do a bit more research and find a school that does not cheat, that teaches what it is supposed to teach, and ensures adequate safety for you on the road.
