Jose's Driving School Actually, we are unlike many NY schools that focus on just teaching the basics of car parts and how to operate and maneuver a car -we always make it a point that our students know how to drive safe, be responsible behind-the-wheel, know the rules and regulations, and how to be a defensive driver in the city of NY. This premise has always been our goal and we wanted to continue providing this to our students.

It doesn't matter to us if you're a teenager or an adult because our goal is simple. It is to make you experience our most comprehensive program in driving lessonsfacilitated by certified instructors in one-on-one basis depending on the program. Through time since our first day of operation in Harlem and the whole of Manhattan, NY for that matter, we have earned a reputation for responsible and reliable service that is affordable and rewarding.

Jose is a great instructor and kind. He teaches you everything that you need to learn in order to get your license and get you comfortable with driving. Prices are affordable compared to other driving schools as well. I was able to get my driving license thanks to Jose.

Jose driving school is a great school for everyone, Jose is a great instructor for anyone who has low or great driving experience. He is very honest and kind when correcting your driving skills. I'm someone who is bilingual in Spanish and English and it was good to know that Jose also had some great bilingual skills and as well as great communication skills with his students.

I hadn't driven in over a decade and needed lessons to refresh my driving "muscle memory." Jose and his team are organized, kind, and very helpful. I appreciated his careful, cautious style on the road as well.

I don't understand how this places have some many good reviews. I understand that we're a student and we have to listen to the teacher because they have more experience, but oh boy this guy is something also. I have my permit for 8 years, and driving for more years, I take the driving lessons just for the road test. When he knows that he's wrong he get really mad, he's always late and unprofessional, he doesn't know how to talk professional, talk about other students.

The classes are 45 minutes, but I never got to do the whole 45 minutes. He thinks that everybody knows how to talk or understand ghetto. Go right, go left that simple. Safe yourself time and money.

Worst place to go to. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. I wanted to try that school out and paid for a class, the 5hr class and the road test. He called me cheap and he was bragging about how much money he used to spend when he was my age. Also he said the school thing was he's side job since he's already retired. Basically I did not learn anything for 160. Also his car is SUPER DIRTY I AM LUCKY I DIDNT CATCH COVID IN THAT CAR. This happened on Tuesday August the 3rd of 2021.

Jose is completely unprofessional, he talks very inappropriately, and uses students as his personal driver to run arrands. I've sat outside a bank or store for him countless of times. He is completely unorganized, can never find your paperwork. I had to physically make notes of all of my sessions. He often forget when we had a session and I had to call him several times or physically show up to the school.

I purchased 10 sessions straight up. Only did 8 because I had a trip planned and when I came back he said I had to buy more lessons eventhough I had two left. I put 2 stars because I got some driving experience from it. But I didn't even get to get my license. Save yourself the money and go somewhere else.

Great school to get practice in. In my situation i came from outside the country with basic driving experience and was able to pass the test two days after. Really good prices compared to other schools as well!

I got recommended the driving school by a Friend since I scheduled my driving test and wanted to get a few more lessons. I called and Jose was very short on the phone. I explained that I only wanted to take lessons since my test day was coming up and I already had a 5 hour certificate from another school. He asked to know which school and immediately shut down when I gave him the name, criticizing the school and ranting that he didn't want "anything to do with them" and basically berating me, asking "why didn't you take lessons with them"?

I explained (don't even know why I bothered, really) that I have been looking everywhere to get extra lessons and many schools don't have availabilities, especially since it was last minute and my friend referred me to his school. I could tell he really didn't want to take me on as a client JUST because he didn't like the school I had my 5 hour certificate in.

He was rude, hesitant, then he reluctantly gave me a price of $290 for 5 lessons! Obviously, he was trying to get rid of me because the price is ridiculous. I played along and acted like I would actually agree to pay an over the top amount. Anyway. Don't know how the services are at this school, as I was basically rejected as a client FOR GETTING MY 5 HOUR CERTIFICATE AT A DRIVING SCHOOL THAT THE OWNER HATES.

To be fair my friend had used the school services and obtained their drivers license BUT as far as my experience goes, they were highly unprofessional the whole interaction was unnecessarily unpleasant and a big waste of time. STAY AWAY.

I took one class with Jose driving school and the next day I passed my road test. I've been Driving forever so of course that played a part. That Combined with the pointers he gave me when practicing helped me get my license back. In short if you pay attention to his instructions you will learn how to drive and pass your road test.
