I passed my driving test yesterday. Champion auto school is one of the best driving schools. Especially, the owner Jose is very cooperative. He listens to you and give you advice in case of you need more lessons. That's the best place to spend money to learn driving in New York City

Excellent instructors and friendly staff. Took a few lessons with them and passed my driving test. Highly recommended if you live in the area and need to learn how to drive.

Picked this school because it was nearby, but it ended up being an excellent experience. The staff and the instructors are all so friendly and helpful, and the school itself is very organized and provides all the information you need to get through the testing process. Also there's a cute dog that's often in the office. I would recommend this school to anyone.

Wow! I never leave reviews but let me just say I've failed the test 3 times and spent so much money and hours at another driving school. I'm so glad I decided to try Champion. I finally passed my test thanks to the teachings of some talented instructors!

I started here with lots of stress and lack of confidence due to my past experience with driving but the whole team made me feel comfortable and confident. I passed the test after my first try and am grateful to champion auto school. Highly recommend.

Champion really does do their best to set you up for success. They partner you with a variety of instructors, each with their own approach to helping you feel confident on the road. I went into my first lesson, never having been behind the wheel of a car and came out of my 10th lesson with enough skill to pass the NY Road test on my first try. The staff- from the office manager to the owner and instructors create a hospitable and professional environment and do what they can to maintain that atmosphere.

I had set out with a goal at the beginning of 2021 to pass the road test and finish the year off with taking a road trip and I just came back from a weekend trip to Beacon, NY. You're lucky if you have Veronica or Hugh as an instructor. Don't hesitate if you're a nervous, first-time driver remember they have the instructor brake!

I gave this 2 stars because this place has it's up side. Veronica was my favorite teacher. She was very helpful. For everyone else, I believe I was set up to fail. In my final test, the teacher shared with me that he didn't think, I would pass, which was unnecessary information and then on the drive to the driving test, that same teacher was speeding, eating chicken while steering the wheel of the car, cursing at other drivers and handling personal business while me and another guy sat in the car.

That wasn't the best way to prepare for the test. Then during the road test, I put the car in drive and it went backwards and was never taught how to fix that situation or switch gears or anything. I wish that I was given the same teacher for my lessons. Instead it felt like they just threw the kitchen sink at me and the best fit for me wasn't given. My wife and I will get more lessons elsewhere. But we have friends who have passed with this school so it's not all bad.

Disclaimer: This is not a glowing endorsement that came as a result of passing my road test. I took the exam this morning and will not know the results until later today. With that being said, this driving school is amazing and I'd recommend in an instant. Ms. Keisha is the aunt I didn't know I needed. She made me feel very comfortable and helped boost my confidence.

I know I'll likely butcher his name but I think it's Donquel (younger male instructor) was considerably less patient and less comfortable instructing. His teaching style was not compatible w my learning. My biggest complaint was that he had a tendency of being over excited when critiquing which made me feel like I was making life threatening mistakes but would later casually say encouraging things as if I weren't as bad as he originally made me feel.

He also had a habit of grabbing the wheel which was nerve wracking but in giving him the benefit of the doubt I'm sure being in vehicles w people who cannot drive causes anxiety. He did try to prepare me to drive beyond passing the road test which I appreciate. Then there was Mr. Hugh who miraculously taught me to park during my last 90 minute lesson.

He is an absolute gem. All in all, regardless of your skill set and comfort level I'm fairly confident this school has an instructor that'll work for you. Even the office staff is supportive and very communicative.

My experience at champion auto school was a blast. The staff there are super nice and patient. They are willing to help you and not to mention great at keeping yourself at ease and on your toes. When driving they will tell you what you messed up on and will hell you fix and as much as possible! I recommend this place if you're just learning how to drive and to take 10 lessons if you're just a beginner.

I failed my first road test but I didn't give up and nor did my instructors. I passed the second time and I couldn't thank them enough. The prices are reasonable they aren't expensive and they let you pay half until towards your final lesson.

After doing so much research in 2020 of finding a driving school, this school topped it off. Reading some of these reviews made me take my chance. I've obtained my license February 2021 because of this driving school. Beginning with scheduling, the patience among the instructors and the receptionist, I can definitely testify that this auto school is amazing! I've recommended my siblings, friend(s) and coworkers about this school. I hope they take advantage of what it is that you guys have to offer! Thank you!

Just passed my road test on my first try today after the 5 hour class and 3 lessons with Champion Auto School. They truly prepared me to take the test and were extremely friendly. Jose, Hugh, and Veronica were great instructors and were able to help me know the ins and outs of the test and be prepared for the test in a span of less than 5 days. Karina was also great as was able to help work with my schedule and was great with communication. If you are looking for an Auto School this is the best school out there. Highly Recommend!

I found this school through a google search and after reading all the amazing reviews I decided to give it a try. This driving school did not disappoint and the reviews proved to be true. The staff is exceptional and the instructors are calm, encouraging and overall amazing. I was an extremely nervous driver who had a less than pleasant experience with a previous driving school years ago where I took 10 lessons but still couldn't drive.

I was able to confidently pass my road test after 5 lessons at this school in less than 2 weeks. Special thanks to instructor Veronica for being patient with me and Hugh for all the tips and encouragement just on the day of my road test.
