Good reviews are paid for by company. My experience here was far from the reviews I’ve seen. There are cheaper, friendlier alternatives for driving schools in CT. Extremely rude, and prejudiced staff. Very surprised they don’t have multiple lawsuits on their hands

Worst driving school ever & a waste of money. I payed for behind the wheels driving and the older man who was suppose to be teaching me how to drive kept yelling at me. He kept saying “Jesus Christ” “Oh my God” and yelling at me “What are you doing?!” I’ve never been so nervous to drive before. At one point I was reversing and he did not tell me he was no longer going to give me further instructions and that he wanted me to figure it out. I ended up driving on the curb because he failed to tell me he wanted to see if I can do it on my own, in which of course he yelled at me again. I ended up crying because of how nervous I was. Very unprofessional, very rude, made me extremely nervous to drive.

In the beginning I was very stressed and scared about driving but decided it was time for me to get my license. My sister went to Santos and recommended it to me. I took 13 hours of lessons at Santos with no practice at home and I was able to pass my drivers test. With the help and support from Yajaira she made Yajaira I was able to conquer this big fear of mine and pass the test.

My wife was 15 minutes late to a class she paid hundreds of dollars for and they refused to let her in. She was pregnant. She tried to reason with them and they quickly became hostile and called the police. Look at the critical reviews first and ask yourself why there are so many. There are plenty of other schools

Passing the road test was a breeze with the Test Package they offer. They provided the lessons, the car and all the paperwork ready. You literally just have to drive

The worst driving school. Doesn’t actually care for their students. Does not stick to their own contracts.

I started my driving journey with AAA driving school. I took my drivers test 3 times over the course of two years with AAA and even had to obtain a new learners permit. After failing for the third time, I decided to go to another driving school for lessons. Santo was the most affordable option and offered me great service. After one 2 hour lesson with John, I was ready to reattempt my road test. I scheduled my road test with Santo and I passed!! I highly recommend this driving school and the driving instructor John!! Eternally grateful to Santo for all their help and support!

Santo Driving School is amazing. The instructors know what theyre doing and the owner, Sal is such an amazing person. I was very nervous about driving and he helped me calm down every nerve I had. He even showed me a few of his tricks on how to park which I needed very much 😂. Parked in one shot for my test.I 100% recommend Santo Driving School!!!👍👍👍Sal I hope you read this.

Mr. Ray is the best! Never late, always on time.Always courteous and positive attitude. Exceedingly patient with me as a not-so-good driver which made me able to pass my road test today on the first try! Give them a try. You wont be sorry, unless you go to All Star Driver instead :P

I honestly think these people are just here to steal your money because I paid them 670$ and they cannot answer the phones during business hours and will not return my phone calls after leaving voice mail I dont even want to get started on the makeshift classes they gave me 😅 honestly shouldnt be operating if this is the service they will provide

I highly recommend Santo Driving School to anyone trying to obtain their license, being successful the first time around. My experience with everyone here was extremely pleasant. I’m so grateful to have learned the basic and advanced road skills with the instructor Bruno and the owner. This business has been around for many years so they are established and know the ins and outs of safe driving. I was so happy to have passed my test! My instructors made me feel very comfortable and gave me driving tips I’ll be able to use for the rest of my life. Don’t waste your money anywhere else, just come here. Thank you, Santo’s!

Was blessed to have made the call to this school- learned how to drive quickly, efficiently. I have used other schools in this area- but the schools goal is to get the job done, not take your money. Chose Santos!

A person arrived 15 minutes late to a class that costed $150 and was harassed by office manager Jay. Very unprofessional. Not allowed to reschedule or pay fine for class and threatened to call the police when the person was non-violent and compliant.Unacceptable.

Review №36

Very worst service.. pls dont go for it. They will never care with your timings. For me, 10 classes I am completing in 3 months just think.. I have taken weekend service, and December I had joined . It is February mid now and I am still left with three classes. Every Sunday they say, some damage to the car, driver is at home cannot come, some festival, etc. Driver will blame the manager and manager will hardly reply your ping. So, this I found very difficult to go with.

WORST PLACE EVER! WHO EVER THE GIRL IS WITH THE GLASSES AND BURNT HAIR NEEDS TO BE FIRED! I HEAR AWFUL THINGS ABOUT HERE AND I TOO HAVE EXPERIENCED A VERY ROUGH TIME WITH THIS WOMAN. To everyone, save your money and go to American Driving School in Manchester and talk to Claudio !

Santos promises to help you get your license, however when you get close he comes up with ways to charge you an additional $300, in a word Wholly Unscrupulous !

The driving instructor himself is wonderful but the females doing the paper work are extremely rude and unprofessional. Honestly would not recommend unless you are dealing with Ray himself.

Review №43

The lady Jay who works here is discussing and disrespectful, she refused to do her job and give a pregnant lady credit or schedule her class because she was a few minutes late. Then proceeded to tell the customer to close her legs. And now Jay has the police harrassing the customer for no reason, either she needs to be fired or yall need to be shut down. And yall will be reported to the BBB if shes still employed there after today.

I agree with some of the other reviews...I have a friend who PAID for and passed a course...She had a fire and lost everything...including her paperwork...and the office staff is extremely rude and unprofessional...Every time she calls its a different story...● First, they were unable to locate her records...● Second...they told her the records expired (which they do not!)● Finally...they told her the records were ARCHIVED and she would have to PAY again to find them...So...three different stories...and NO RESULTS!!!!!!I guess its about time I visit the CT DMV on Tuesday with my friend, and get some answers from the SOURCE!!!!MAYBE Santos Driving Scool would like the DMV to investigate their business practices!!!!

There is a little woman with a bad attitude who works there, they should throw her out, it does not serve the customers uncomfortable, the owner has to take matters into account about that person.I do not recommend it..SUCKS. !!

Review №59

The person who works in the office (girl) is very rude, she does not know how to say hello, much less apologize when she makes a mistake. I hope I find a school where they give her courtesy classes to clients because I remind her that we are not going to receive classes at Santos driving school for free.
