I got my license in one go with this school. An, A L&L has a very experienced instructor, and they follow all covid safety majors. The big plus is that they provide you with pick-up and drop-off at your home, saving a lot of travel time and money. They are very friendly, responsive and keep you informed about everything. They also offer good driving lesson packages-the best school to learn driving.

I meant to write this review sooner. It's been 2+ months since I obtained my license. Five star all around. I passed my exam first try in Braintree. Wish I could remember my instructors name but he was straight forward and very knowledgeable. I decided to finally get my license well into my 40's so just know it is never too late to obtain. I am glad I went with this driving academy and recommend them to anyone who is willing to learn! P.S. the pick up and drop off (home to home) is an awesome bonus not many other driving companies implement.
They are always on time (often before time but not without notifying you first). Just know you will get what you paid for and more! If AL&L is still around in 2 years my daughter will be next!

Very unprofessional place with rude staff. The owner, Lawrence, is extremely nasty with absolutely no knowledge of how to properly run a business. While driving with Lawrence he threatened me several times, which made me even more nervous. Being a young woman alone with an irate, aggressive man barking orders at you and insulting your intelligence is not a proper learning environment and overall extremely inappropriate.

Please do not go to this driving school. They're not good instructors and do not take the time to go step by step they just expect you to know when you sit in the car. They just tell you to go then get upset and become very impolite when you are clearly having a tough time. The instructor yelled and was very aggressive. I get the tough love but at the level that I received it was very unnecessary and inappropriate. And literally you aren't told exactly what you need to work on or anything when your time is up it's up. Please find a better driving school

This was by far one of the least professional businesses I've had to work with. The owner Lawrence randomly cancels my road test because I'm a college student and couldn't make it to EVERY in class meeting and issues me a refund check. When I called to ask why he said "Why are you so hard to get rid of; you're annoying" Classy. AVOID AT ALL COST!

Please please please do not give these people a dime of your money or a second of your time. These people are beyond unprofessional. They screwed up my road test not once but TWICE! I know what you're thinking, how?!? Ok so my first road test was scheduled September 2016 for an 11am pick up. The day of the test al&l called me at 7 am saying that they were outside. I'm like well you guys are 4 hours early.
I was away at school in Framingham and didn't plan to be home until my PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED PICKUP TIME. Ok so that was their first mistake. They claimed they reached out the day before to inform me, but they couldn't get a hold of me. They did not even have the common sense to leave a voicemail! I didn't give up on them just yet. So upon moving back from school I reached back out to al&l.
They informed me I had 2 lessons left out of the 10 I paid for last summer. Ok so I go ahead an schedule a lesson. After that I scheduled a new road test, the woman gave me a a date and also a time; September 7th 8:15 am pickup. Not even a week passes I get a call saying they basically gave my date to someone else. Brace yourself for the reason. They claimed I owe them money, but how when I originally paid upfront for 10 lessons and a road test.
The woman on the phone couldn't even tell me what for, apparently she couldn't read whatever notes the person before her left, pathetic. But once again they claimed they tried to reach out before they actually took me off but again they had no evidence and left no voicemail. Unfortunately I cannot get any money back. Take your money else where save yourself the money and your patience.

Great experience for my daughter eileen. We are still waiting on the road test which is aug 15th the DMV is so backed up with road test dates Anyhow Eileen's first instructor wasn't very nice then I figured lets do the driving times differently well low and behold we got Aldane who she absolutely ADORED! He was patient and pointed out things to work on and had her parallel park until she was use to it!
By far i feel he is a wonderful instructor and I can't say it enough. Stay tuned for road test results august 15th. if I had the money to have aldane take her I would in a heartbeat she is so focused in the car with him and at ease. If I do have the cash by then I'll see if he can. If not I'll do it but I will post how she did! Thank you Aldane you rock!

HAHAHA. I was the stupid one. I should have listened to the person that said your lesson will be picking up and dropping off students that drove before or will drive after you, respectively. What sort of magic did they use on me that I did not realize we had not practiced parallel parking until my 7th lesson? If you are already a driver, perhaps from another country, and just need a brush up, maybe they will work for you. But as a newbie, they did not help my life. I now know better. I take responsibility for being too eager to be logical.

Fantastic from beginning to end. They always answer the phone and are very friendly and knowledgeable. I paid $490 (roughly) for 9 lessons + driving test. I was able to schedule lessons easily and they would always pick me up from work. I don't understand reviews below that complain about dropping another student off, it happened to me a couple of times, but hello! You're driving!
My driving instructor, Greg, was patient and a great teacher. He taught me everything I needed to know to become a safe driver. We did lots of three point turns and parallel parks. I drove through busy streets in Boston and Cambridge and feel confident now as a driver! I passed my test at the Cambridge Armory, I botched the parallel parking at first but passed! Thanks Greg and thanks A-L&L!

HORRIBLE! This driving school has very poor customer service. It is not worth the money at all. Their instructors are very impatient and will not tell you how to correct your mistakes. The only thing they've done is put their foot on their brake and look at you with a dirty expression on their face as if the instructor is doing you a favor. The driving school is $43 for 45 minutes!
You would expect quality customer service right? I thought so, but I was extremely disappointed. I reported the instructor to the supervisor and the supervisor did not care to even hear what happened to cause the dissatisfaction. The only thing LAWRENCE (the supervisor) stated was, "I had a discussion with the driver and he did his job during the lesson." I will take this to higher ups because something must be done about this. Please do not waste your time with this driving school. There is much better elsewhere.

I'm sure their driving school is great, judging by all the positive responses from other people. I just wish I could get through to them! Of the 12 times I've called them, all within hours that they SHOULD be open, I've gotten through to a person once. I tried to inquire about how much drivers ed would cost (information that most driving schools put on the website) because it's a convenient location for me to get to from school, but the one time I tried to ask that simple question, whoever answered my call (I didn't get a name.
Usually good businesses say hello and give their name when someone picks up!) complained that it was too noisy in my background and told me to call back, before hanging up quickly. I called back 20 minutes later when it was much quieter, no one picked up. Apparently they were open on Monday, even though I called MULTIPLE times throughout the day. A good business includes good desk services, something I don't believe A-L& L Driving Academy has, in my experience!

I purchased the driving package of 9 driving lessons and a road test. By the time, it was the 5th class I still did not know how to parallel park and do a 360 turn thanks to the Al&L Driving Academy. When I called to complain about it, the manager started arguing with me over the phone. That was the worst customer service I've experienced. Would not recommend this school to anyone.

The person on the phone was always friendly and she seemed genuinely interested. My instructor was Greg who did a wonderful job. He was always punctual for the lesson and boosted my confidence on the road. He had a lot of patience with me (and other learners) and had a sense of humor. They called me a day before my road test to remind me about my appointment and to make sure I had all the papers ready.
Thanks to Greg I got the license my very first attempt. Sometimes I can still hear his voice saying "indicator!!!" when I'm trying to parallel park or pull away from the curb. :)

Having recently passed my road test, I am thoroughly pleased with the driving instruction provided at Al&l. As a new driver with no prior experience, I met with Greg over the past three weeks for lessons. Thanks to his patient supervision, I was able to overcome my anxieties about driving in the city and successfully pass the driving test. I also found the scheduling services to be very amenable and the at home pick-up was a great convenience. Its a fair price for such extensive services.
