Professional Driving School of the Americas, Inc. Manhattan, New York

This Driving school is good. They are pretty strict if you are sick on the day of a lesson. The 5 hour classroom lesson on driving is quite an experience in torture, but I didnt expect much. The school is great at reminding you of important dates, very responsive and kind. Joel is a great driving instructor. He accommodated my schedule and was very professional. We focused on my weak points and he had some good advice for passing the test. He wasnt my favorite or calmest instructor but he taught me a lot about driving in NYC. I passed thanks to Joel, first try.

I am an experienced driver with a foreign license but have never driven in the USA. I took the 90-mins refresher course right before the road test at Red Hook, Brooklyn. Joel made sure I understood all NY traffic rules and requirements before the actual test. Passed at once. Thank you so much Joel for calm and kind instructions and also Emy who was very kind and helped with smooth registration process. Highly recommended!

I took driving lessons with Joel and passed my road test! Joel was a great instructor, patient and helpful. Driving with him was not stressful and I felt prepared arriving up to my exam. I would definitely recommend this driving school and Joel as an instructor! They have great lesson/exam package deals.

Fantastic driving school! Organized and accommodating. Getting picked up for lessons made it really smooth. My instructor, Joel, was great. His instructions are clear and on point. I came well prepared to road test and passed. Highly recommended!

Great school. Everything was very professional! No doubt that Joel is the best instructor that I had so far. He is very knowledgeable and goes through all the steps necessary for the road test. When the road test time came, I was ready because Joel showed exactly what the instructor was going to ask me to do. If you want to pass the road test, ask for Joel to be your instructor.

Got my license in two weeks! I had been meaning to do it for so long and it was so easy. All the staff is super professional and nice.

I would hands-down recommend this driving school to anyone looking for one. Wilma and Jenica at the office were very helpful and prompt in scheduling and coordinating all the lessons and road test. Gerry, my instructor, was AMAZING. He s absolutely patient and assuring. For a novice driver like me, he helped instill a lot of confidence and taught me all the right techniques. He made driving lessons fun and the lesson just before my road test really helped me to pass. Overall, a fantastic experience!

PDSA a great driving school for Manhattan! They offer all inclusive packages that get you from permit to license. The staff and instructors were friendly and responsive. My instructors Helen and Alberto were very informative and helped me go from never driven to confidently passing the test in 20 hours of instruction. Scheduling availability was good because I tried to book a month out. However keeping track of my schedule was kind of confusing and all changes need to be made manually. The school s cars were old but serviceable.

Zach and Helen did a great job teaching me how to drive from zero and preparing me for a road test. They were very patient and kind, adopting their teaching techniques to my personality. I passed the road test from the first attempt and I am happy that I had found this driving school.

Highly recommend!! I had never driven before this and just got my license yesterday. I had Hellen as my instructor and she is amazing!! She is super kind, patient, and helpful, and I really enjoyed working with her. Definitely check this school out if you re looking to learn from the beginning or just want a refresher!
