Bells Auto Driving School

This place is okay, the instructor was impatient with me and didn't seem to even want to teach me how to drive. He said I wasn't listening to him, but really I was just acting like a beginner and still unsure of how to drive. I learned how to parallel park pretty good so that's why there's a extra star. I'll go somewhere else to continue my driving lessons.

Mr. Lawson Is a great teacher after my lesson I have lots of confidence I didn't have before. Thank you so much Bells driving school and Mr. Lawson. He was very kind and patient coolest person ever definitely come here if your looking for a great driving school.

I took the 5 hour online pre-licensing course, and o learned nothing. It was basically just one guy talking with no visuals, super slow, and only told stories about how his past students had weird experiences. He just sat and talked for 5 hours straight, in a more rant-like manner, not to A couple of quotes from him: "Just put your phone in the trunk and lock it" "Take your phone batteries out and put them in the other room" "Do you teens even know what a map is" "I bet no one here knows what a pay phone is" "How many times should you check your mirrors? *spends 10 minutes asking random people* well it's 5 seconds. Anyways." Just boring, slow, and confusing. Not to mention the solid hour he spend advertising Bells auto.

*my real name is Conner* the one-star reviews had me skeptical about signing up with them, but i'm glad i did! my instructor Vincent is very patient and helpful, which goes a long way for me since i am a very anxious driver and person all-around. thanks Bell's!

Bought $1000 worth of lessons from them over the course of a year with multiple packages. With that type of consumer confidence, I ended up completely underwhelmed. When you purchase package online, you are given promise that someone will call you to schedule lessons within 24-48 hours. I had to call them more often than not days later, with excuse that they coordinate so many high school group lessons.

My driving instructor was competent, but I noticed we didn't always go the full 45min or 60min timeframe. Also didn't help that 3 separate times we stopped for him to take bathroom/coffee breaks during my slotted time. I did not get those minutes added back into my driving time on the road. cumulatively, I counted 25min of lost time that would have meant a lot as I trusted Bell's as one of the largest and oldest schools here. Bell's rests on their legacy and its popularity, and its students' progress means nothing.

Besides they have contracts with so many high schools, they really don't take adult customers as priority too. After this, an empty apology and useless offer was made to call them to hear excuses and lies of regret, no doubt! For what? If some of the hard-earned cash paid is not being reimbursed, no go! Forget about it!

Great lessons. Very helpful and gave great advice to a very nervous driver. Passed road test on first try!

I took ten 45 minutes lessons, which cost me over $500 from Bells driving school and still failed my road test. I trusted the reviews and went ahead and book with this school. I am so disappointed and hopeless. I wish I wasn't in this situation right now, lost my money and failed my road test.

First of all, it was our fault to NOT trust the many esteemed "1 star" reviews that this prestigious driving school has accumulated over the years. Trust me now, all these people who took time to provide their reviews are 100% RIGHT. My wife had the worst nightmare taking her first lesson with them. The instructor even discouraged her from driving and mentioned that she should NEVER be behind the wheels and this was within the first few minutes of her first driving lesson.

She specifically wanted a female instructor when signing up but they sent her a gentlemen who was at his best manners. Upon checking now, the customer service lady said they never promised her a female instructor. Glad we at least got the refund for the rest of the lessons. I would NEVER recommend this place.

We just had our second child go through driving lessons with Bell's Auto. I would recommend their services to everyone! Your child gets one-on-one attention during their lessons, they will focus on specific areas if you want (highway, city, etc.) and they are so helpful. Instructors even give pointers for their driving test. They make parallel parking a breeze for kids! Office staff and instructors are professional, friendly, and super helpful. Well worth every penny!

My daughter had the best experience from Bell's 2 years ago, through the Driver's Education Class at her high school. We were very pleased. Also used their Road Test Service--which is a bargain as far as I am concerned! Well worth the money. Last summer, our car was rear ended on the Northway, with my daughter driving. (Police said she was not at fault. ) During the accident, she remained calm, and was able to safely pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. She said she kept remembering the things she was taught during driver education and this helped her handle the situation safely. Would HIGHLY recommend.

My son had private lessons with Mr. Tice. Bell's auto would call me the day before every lesson and send reminder emails. They were very professional. Mr. Tice was always on time and made my son feel at ease. He taught him the rules of the road and gave him the confidence he needed to pass his road test. The day of his road test my son had one hour practice, then took his test and passed. I think it was well worth the money, and would highly recommend them.

This driving school is the best! They work with you until you are extremely comfortable with maneuvering a car. I failed my road test two times because of bad anxiety, and my hearing loss. I am happy to announce that today I had passed. Special thank yous to Mr. Price (David) for taking his time with me, and for giving me tips on how to pass it the third time.

And of course speaking loud enough so I could hear him. Driving instructors will be tough on you (not too tough), but that's because they want you to pass. I highly recommend Bell's.
