Beauty and The Beast Driving School / Porrata Tax Services West Bronx, Bronx

best driving school ever!! shout out to them! i did my 5hr class, lessons, and road test through them. for someone who was highly traumatized to drive behind the wheel, the instructor was always very calm, patient, and nice! i am now a licensed driver because of this school. i wouldnt think twice to recommend this school to anyone.

Incredibly rude! This is the worst experience Ive ever encountered. Im not sure how this business has more than 4 stars. If less than zero was possible, that would have been my rating. I also never take the time to leave a review, but Im very surprised at their lack of professionalism. I decided to pay for my 45 min driving lesson with this business and showed up on time at their location. Once I arrived, I was told that I needed to wait a few minutes because the instructor had not...
Read full review arrived and was still on his way. I waited about 15 minutes before asking the two ladies behind the desk about any updates. One of them told me Im calling him now and seemed annoyed that I even bother asking. After a couple more minutes, I asked again about any updates and the other lady by the name of Carmen told me hes not picking up his phone, would you like to reschedule? I told her that I never experienced this before and that I wasted my money on transportation to get to their location. She responded to me and said Thats life, it happens. Extremely unprofessional and they have no consideration for peoples time! I highly DONT RECOMMEND unless you dont mind waiting for the instructor to arrive and wasting your time. If you are looking for a horrible experience, this is the place for you!

I highly recommend beauty and the beast driving classes. They teach you step by step instructions for perfect and safe driving to pass the road test. They have amazing vibes and they make things feel like it s your second family. If you want amazing lessons and you want to pass your driving test with flying colors then look no further. These guys are beasts at what they do

I hardly leave reviews but I can t hold back this time around, I had such an incredible experience with beauty and the beast driving school. I am big on professionalism and that s exactly what I got in terms of time management, driving lessons and instructions. As a matter of fact, I got my license on the the first trial. Big ups to Jonathan and Carmen

Definitely recommend this driving school if you are trying to pass your road test. Jonathan is the best instructor ever, I was nervous and Doubting Myself, he kept the positive energy at all time and Helped me pass my test on my first try !! Will be recommending him every were.

I went for my driving school. I live 30 minutes from here. But it was worth the travel. They really help you and have great techniques to help you with the exam. I thank God I came across them. With them I finally got my license.

Before my sister recommended me here I had failed my road test twice after attending Jerome Driving school. I had lost all my confidence and thought I would never get my license. I came here got a free lesson since I got recommended and did a package for 3 lessons+1 5hr class and Rd test Appointment&Car. First 2 lessons was the with the female instructor, I believe her name was Luz or something like that. She s was alright but I still didn t feel prepared or comfortable for my exam and figured I...
Read full review needed more lessons. I added 2 more lessons but chose to do them with Jonathan which was who my sister recommended to go to in the first place. I did a double lesson with Jonathan and when I tell you this man is the F-ing beast. It felt like I had a friend in the passenger seat made me feel comfortable. The thing that I didn t like about the female instructor was that she ll assist you with the brakes on the passenger side quiet a bit. Jonathan had faith in me and trusted me cause he didn t step on the brake the entire time which made me feel more in control. I literally felt like I just needed those 2 lessons with him cause I felt prepared to take the Rd test the next day if I had to. I had 2 more lessons but with the female instructor due to Jonathan going away on vaca, each one literally the two days before my road test. I used it to practice the skills Jonathan taught me and acted as if I was taking the exam. I took my Rd test at Castle Hill, I was a bit nervous cause of the rain but Carmen(Jonathan s mom/owner) calmed me down. She s such a sweetheart and so down to earth. Even spoke to me about her tragic accident and showed me pictures and videos. I then took my road test and passed. Thank you Carmen and Jonathan, forever grateful to find you guys. Such a friendly and welcoming environment. My license just came in and it was a wonderful feeling which I wanted to share with anyone who is considering attending this driving school. (5hr Prelicensing Class is held through Zoom for the entire duration)

This Hands Down Is The BEST Driving School ! The Staff are the most amazing people and Extremely Helpful! Thank You Guys For Helping Me Pass on The 1st Try I Am Forever Grateful

The short of it is that this a truly special establishment. Chances are that if youre looking into driving schools, youll be willing to read a bit. Heres the long version of things: Contacting the company is simple. Inquiries are answered professionally and knowledgeably; Carmen and company have been around for years and it shows. When I called, I spoke to Jonathan over the phone. I had very simple (borderline asinine) questions but he answered with total professionalism. Right away, I felt as if...
Read full review Id be in the right hands. As of now, the 5-hour pre-licensing courses are all done through Zoom. Its a pretty straight-forward experience. I believe they only offer those on Sundays, but feel free to ask. The certificate is usually ready two days after. BBDSs folks tend to a lot of services, with taxes and driving lessons being the big ones. From what I can tell, none of their services suffer despite their versatility. Theyre incredibly hardworking people, and insofar as getting one prepared for a road test, they truly care about their clients, safety and overall the experience of teaching. I basically came in starting from zero, and in my excitement I couldnt gauge certain things like speed control or when and how to turn the wheel. By the last day of my lessons (7 total) I feel totally at ease. Certainly enough to pass. My instructors were Alex and Jonathan. Both of these men feel like friends on the passenger side, though as a plus, they also have a wealth of knowledge that they try to pass on to you in an easily digestible way. Putting it simply, you WILL learn how to parallel park and do a 3-point turn/K-turn/Broken U-Turn to perfection if youre willing to listen and learn. The package prices are a bargain for the kind of service you receive. Theyre a rare sight in our community where though relaxed and approachable, theyre masterful in their trade and genuinely care about what they do and how they do it. The shop is a bit small and provides outdoor seating, but dont let that deceive you. Carmen, Maria and everyone else is a powerhouse. The place is also very clean and maintained well. The school will reach out to you about upcoming lessons. Typically, its favourable to try and schedule them so that you take the bulk of them in the days leading up to your road test. The lines of communication are always open, from over the phone to behind the wheel. Its the perfect environment and set of conditions to learn within. I wasnt asked to leave a review, but I figure good service deserves to be praised. Thats even truer for the excellent service Beauty and the Beast Driving School provides. Thank you all so very much.

Very good school. Highly recommended. They take their time with you and help you to succeed. Will be recommending this school to everyone who need to learn to drive. I passed my road test the first time! Muy buena escuela. Muy recomendable. Se toman su tiempo contigo y te ayudan a tener éxito. Recomendaré esta escuela a todos los que necesiten aprender a conducir. ¡Pasé mi examen práctico de manejo la primera vez!
