Flawless experience!!I took their 2-hour driving class+ road test package. I got Alex as an instructor. He is an experienced driver and taught me everything in a friendly way. They also made me feel home at driving classes. I would highly recommend this driving school.

Fabulous experience!!John is by far the most amazing driver when it comes to teaching younger people and making them pass the test. He tailored his teaching style according my needs and skills. He is more of a friend than a teacher to me.

This place was a life saver as far as getting a road test scheduled for my daughter. We were finding it virtually impossible to schedule one online directly with the rmv. The fact that we had a test scheduled with minimal effort on our part in just a few weeks was great. John did a great job and the price we paid for a Saturday test was comparable to other schools we had checked out. Our daughter didnt even take drivers ed thru this school and John still sponsored her and arranged everything. She passed with flying colors and we now have one very happy teenage driver. Thank you John!

Review β„–13

The school is ran by one guy who clearly doesnt know what hes doing and never gets back to people in a timely manner. His scheduling system for lessons is a total mess and very disorganized. The dude cant even hire at least a few other people to take phone calls and deal with customers and he definitely has the money to pay people but chooses not to do it. Most of the time you have to wait weeks or even months to get driving hours. Overall - steer clear of this school as it is not worth the money. Absolutely atrocious business thats being run here.

Went to an appointment scheduled for over a week and the instructor was half an hour late and I had to reschedule as I had a prior engagement. I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY INSTRUCTIONS AT ALL. I had to have an emergency cancellation they charged me because it wasnt 24 hour notice. If my first lesson was on time I wouldnt have had to make another appointment to lose the money. Do not recommend.

Review β„–18

AVOID THIS SCHOOL IF YOU CAN. Paid for road test sponsorship & practice exam package. My sponsor picked me up late. The car I drove to the RMV in is not the same car I drove for my test. The sponsor switched out the car I drove to the RMV in (for my 530AM practice exam; test at 7AM) for a different car (one I had not driven prior to test) last minute due to his employee showing up late for another customer. The other customer then drove the aforementioned vehicle for their road test, the same vehicle we both drove for our practice exams that morning. We did not go over every step, as advertised, on the website - parking on a hill, 3 point turn, parallel parking, etc. Additionally, this individual does not pick up the phone (full mailbox, cannot leave a message) nor do they respond to email communication past their response to ask for a pdf photo of your permit to send to the RMV. All in all, you will absolutely want to take your business elsewhere. This school will hinder you before it will help you.0/5 stars

Dont bother booking with them. I bought a package of 10 hours a while back and I was only able to use 2 of those hours on a lesson. After that, they never responded to any of my phone calls or emails. If I could give zero stars, I would. I have my doubts that all these positive reviews are real.

I wish google has 0 star review tab or report business tab so that I might have selected that. I had absolutely worst experience dealing with this school, I am might not sure if this is because of pandemic or just is how they are deal with their customer and students. I made online 6 hours lesson booking back in Jan 2020 and then I tried reaching out to them to schedule lessons but I got reply that call us, last year I tried calling them several times before pandemic hits and response was very poor.After pandemic when everything started opening back I called them again pretty much every week, no one respond till Sep and I requested them refund which they assure to process but since Sep 2020 I am trying to get hang of someone from there office but they dont reply emails neither phone calls (well there voice mail is always full so you cant even leave them a message). At this point I am so frustrated that I am going to report them to CfBp and BBB. T

Review β„–29

Absolute scam of a business. You pay online for the lessons that you want to choose but then the owner will never reach out back to you. I tried calling him and instead of giving any answer, he said he is busy and hang up. After that I was unable to reach him at all, it would always go to voicemail. To get my money back I had to file a claim with my bank. Horrible customer service, I am shocked that this type of scam is still in business.

In my 10 days of driving class, I did not get the lessons on parallel parking and I remember you teach me 3 point in my last day of class and when you go for road test they start straight with parallel parking, if you offer a complete package please make sure you include everything.

Jon does an excellent job preparing you to feel and be confident behind the wheel. He teaches through positive reinforcement the skill sets you need to pass your road test and more importantly be a confident, safe driver for all your years on the road.

I did Johns 10-hour driving lesson package, since I was a beginner. I passed the road test with confidence, but more importantly I feel prepared to drive safely and easily anywhere on the road. He teaches parallel parking super well, and is a rmv-certified examiner himself, so he knows just how to help. John also shares my love for doggies, so dog-spotting during lessons was enjoyable too :)

I took the weekend driving test through Boston Driver’s Ed, the booking process and pre-test communication was seamless. After passing the driving test and through no fault of Boston Driver’s Ed, my license information was not updated at the RMV. I tried contacting the RMV multiple times, and reached-out to John for advice. John answered my every call, and went out of his way to help sort the issues with my profile.They went above and beyond to help me out.I highly recommend Boston’s Driver’s Ed.

Review β„–45

DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL. Terrible service and little communication with customers.I scheduled for a road test and the driving school did not confirm until 2 days before the road test, and worse that the date of the road test was changed to one day later. Then I scheduled for a lesson at 11am. The school texted me only 3 HOURS before the lesson, and gave the lesson to someone else for that I replied the text at 30 minutes before the lesson. Furthermore, their altitude is terrible, blaming me for not replying the text on time.If you are looking to just take some lessons or schedule for a road test, there are way better choices out there.

John has literally gone above and beyond to teach my son driving skills for a life time. He is very busy. (Imagine driving for hours on end with teens). So....if you call him and he does not answer you he is teaching kids. He is also a VET which I am proud my son got to know him. My son has taught me to Parallel park better. Ha Thanks John

All the other 1-star reviews reflect the same experience I had with this driving school: EXTREMELY poor communication, EXTREMELY unprofessional management and confrontational owner.

DO NOT ASSOCIATE WITH THIS SCHOOL WHATSOEVER! 100% SCAM AND YOU WILL NOT GET ANY INFORMATION! DOES NOT ANSWER PHONE OR EMAIL AT ALL.Sent the payment for of $675 for the full online drivers education zoom class during this pandemic. Did not get any confirmation email after the payment went through or any information whatsoever regarding my class. Attempted to contact through both email and phone number with no luck. My class that I paid for was scheduled to begin 3 days ago and I still have yet to receive any information. This service is 100% a scam and I do not recommend associating with them whatsoever. I am sure that all these other reviews are fake. I am now going to file a dispute with my bank and potentially even open a police report to attempt to get my money back...

Review β„–50

There was so much wrong with my experience with this place.- During classroom hours, the teacher would regularly go on completely irrelevant tangents and relied on YouTube videos (that I could watch on my own time for free) to do the teaching for him that were mostly about the dangers of drunk driving and didnt include any other pertinent rules of the road. I can very confidently say that I learned nothing during those 30 hours (we were frequently let out up to 2 hours early).- During the driving hour I did complete here (which was my first time ever behind the wheel), they essentially threw me right into the deep end and treated me the same as someone who was almost done with their requirements. He didnt explain any of the basics-- turn signals, how to turn, how to pull over, three-point turns, nothing-- and had me drive in the middle of main street traffic across three towns despite my protests.- You frequently have to sign up 1 and half to 2 months in advance to secure even just ONE driving hour.- All of their driving hours were from 9-3 weekdays, which is all fine and dandy for the summer, but its completely useless during the school year. Why offer only daytime weekday lessons when 90% of your clientele is high school students?- When I contacted John seven whole months before my permit expired in September to explain my situation with not being able to get any driving hours, he criticized me for not signing up for any sooner in spite of my explaining that I couldnt do them during the school year (for reason said above) or during that summer due to a drawn-out, unexpected death in my family. He then said that he could arrange for an instructor to teach me lessons on Sundays but that it would be an extra $500 on top of the $600 I had already paid for the whole driving school package that was supposed to include my 12 driving and 6 observation hours.After that, I said no thanks and switched to Belmont Driving School. This place is a complete waste of your time and money; find somewhere else and youre pretty much guaranteed to have a better experience.

Please don’t go to these guys, I booked to take my drivers test and they refused to respond to me for almost two months . I’m actually going to sue in-order for them to refund my money. I couldn’t go because I had emergencies, even if it doesn’t mention it anywhere on their website that you can’t get a refund even if you can’t go. They still have refused to respond to me. They are inhumane.

Review β„–55

My daughter completed her driving class through a different driving school, but hadnt started her driving. I came to Boston Driving School after Covid because the wait through this other school was long.... and John was immediately able to get her in with driving lessons. We finished in July. I took the parent class via John and he let me know that all that was needed was for this other school to submit that my daughter had taken the class. Two months later- after numerous calls, emails, and rude conversations with this other school (starts with a C) John went above and beyond to help me get my daughter the ability to take the test. He called the other driving school (starts with a C) and of course they did not answer. He called and emailed the DMV on behalf of my daughter. He put up with my lengthy texts and phone calls. And never once complained- even if he should have, lol. John was also considerate and conscientious of our situation and he promised to fix it. And he did. I HIGHLY recommend this driving school. Once my next child needs to take the class and driving lessons there will be no hesitation with whom I will choose. Do not pick one of the driving schools that are visible on every corner as you drive around- they will not do what this man did for me and my daughter. I am forever grateful for having met him and using his amazing driving school.

If I could put ZERO STARS I WOULD! ITS A SCAM, they scheduled my road test somewhere else that isn’t connected to Boston drivers Ed, I paid $138 for my road test through Boston Drivers Ed and still had to pay $100 when I got to a different driving school all the way in Norwood. I tried getting my money back and I still haven’t received a response I had to call my bank so they could refund my money. Not to mention when I went to a driving school in Norwood that has no connection to Boston Drivers Ed, apparently the sponsors nor the state police never heard of the place .

If I could give Boston Drivers Ed 10 stars, I would without any hesitation. I had absolutely amazing experience with this driving school. John Baez is the best instructor anyone can only ask for. He is very knowledgeable and patient, insightful and kind. From lesson #1 he put me at ease and made the whole learning process very interesting, informative and effective. It was also very easy to arrange my Road Test through his office - special thanks to Tania who was professional and helpful. To sum it up, I would highly recommend Boston Drivers ED to everyone who is looking for a good driving school.

Glad that I picked this driving school! All the instructors that I encountered were very patient and they gave me good tips. I managed to improve my driving a lot during the lessons, especially when I dont get much chance to practice on my own.I really appreciate the flexibility of this driving school. I had unforeseeable circumstances which made me have to make a lot of big changes of my lessons and road test. The process wasnt easy because I know thats a lot to ask for in a short time frame, but I am very happy that John and his team got everything worked out for me at the end. They surely have the students best interest in mind.Other reviews here mentioned that John did not return calls. That happened to me too because John said he was teaching or driving while I called, so I always ask when is a good time to call the school - that works for me very well. I managed to book my lessons and schedule my road test through phone calls and the online system.Thank you again!

John, you’re a rock star! He is knowledgeable, patient, understanding, insightful and most importantly, a lot of fun! Trust me, when you’re trying to learn a skill as layered as driving, you want your instructor to have all of those - you want John. I’m thankful for the experience I had learning driving with him.To give you a hint of his expertise, he taught me a simple technique of eye level which helped my driving get better in a matter of minutes which I was struggling with for weeks. In addition to this, is his exemplary clarity and commitment.Lastly, his team (and everyone I interacted at the school) is helpful and nice. I highly recommend this driving school (and of course John).

Im an adult learner so I wanted to learn how to drive well and have a good teacher who would teach me how to drive safely. I chose Boston Drivers ed because it liked that John was a former cop and that really appealed to me. Once I started my lessons with him, I realized that I made the right choice. He is always on time, ready to teach and extremely patient. I feel like I am learning great driving habits for life. He has helped me overcome some of my fears of driving. He is also a fantastic teacher. Thanks John!!!!

Review β„–68

I am a 30 year old first time driver that was nervous about finally learning to drive and taking my test. John was an incredibly patient, welcoming and kind instructor, who immediately put me at ease. He has a rare combination of both the technical and teaching skills to effectively train others, as well as the personality and empathy to make that training fun and relaxing. His parallel parking technique is also incredibly helpful!Knowing that I had his seal of appproval made me much more confident to take my test, which was significantly easier to arrange through him than on my own. I would wholeheartedly recommend John and Boston Drivers Ed to anyone.

Passed my road test today on second try. John is a very knowledgeable, kind and fun teacher. He has an excellent parallel parking technique that works on almost all tries. Lisa, the secretary, is very great and accommodating too. Due to their Bestity as a school, it is quite hard to schedule lessons last minute so if you want to take a few lessons to prepare for your road test, schedule them early.

I actually really like this driving school. I’ve heard a lot of negatives, but I see nothing wrong with this place. It’s a comfortable warm environment of learning and a no-judgement zone. I’ve known how to drive for a while now, but coming here for lessons really helps to shine light on what they will be looking for on the test, and they gave me the tools to make me a better driver. I recommend this school to anyone who’s willing to learn.

John is a great teacher. He owns the school, and I got lucky that he ended up teaching me that day as my instructor went on leave. He taught me to parallel park in 5 minutes. He was fun, encouraged me a lot and trained me precisely in areas that I was lacking while letting me know what I did well. At the end of the two hours, he said I dont need any more classes- which was refreshing, he didnt try to sell more classes to me.

This school is excellent.I went into Drivers Ed expecting to be bored out of my mind and waste a week of my summer, but was extremely and pleasantly suprised at my actual experience. I walked out of Boston Drivers Ed with everything I needed to know to safely get behind the wheel, and had a good time learning.John Baez is an instructor who can keep his students engaged and entertained, while still providing the information they need. Never a dull moment in the class, I had plenty of fun without sacrificing the learning component of the class.I will absolutely be recommending the school to my friends, and cant wait to return in a couple of weeks for my driving lessons.

Very disappointed!! Same problem as mentioned inother 1 star review! I should have searched on Yelp first.After my first phone call, I purchased the road test sponsorship+2hr driving lesson package and additional 2 hr driving lesson through website as John told me to. He told me that he need to use the confirmation number to schedule my lessons. He also said he would email me the schedule by email after my purchase. However, I still have not received any email yet.On the second day, I called him again and he told me he was driving and would call me back in 10-15 mins. I waited for hours and I called him again and he didnt answer my call. I sent email again and never got any responses.I called many times today and not a single call was answered.

John helped me with scheduling and preparing for the Saturday road test, hes an amazing instructor. The 2 hour lesson with him was instrumental in passing the test, the actual test was just the way he described and the parallel parking technique was simple & effective.

I took my road test with John and hes an awesome instructor. I took a 1.5 hours lesson right before my road test and it was enough for me to pass it. (Mind you, I had driven before so 1.5 hours lesson was basically to get me used to the roads and learn Parallel parking, 3 point turn and hand signals. So please if you havent driven before take more than 2 hours lesson). Overall my experience with them was good and will definitely recommend them.

Review β„–87

I signed my daughter up for this class. I do believe it was straight forward unfortunately the timing of class was not on point. 9-3 were scheduled with a lunch. I’d drop my daughter back at 12:15 and at 1 she’d be calling for a ride home.But, that is nothing compared to them not showing up for their scheduled drives. If I cancelled with less than 24 hours I would get charged $90 fee. Well this company should be paying me for 3 β€œno show, no call”. When I confronted John via phone he told me that he was uncertain of anything going on because he had just gotten out of the hospital. Come to find out that was not an honest answer. I emailed him expressing how unhappy I was he never responded.The day of road test which he will most likely book in Braintree he forgot all the paperwork and had to do an hour and half round trip to go get it! Again who and why am I paying?!Sadly bad news usually spreads like wild fire. I’d look into other options even if this place is convenient for you.

The instructors are really good and friendly but getting a schedule with these guys is very difficult. if you have a months time and can have your sessions on weekdays, you can get a slot. Special thanks to Jose for teaching the parallel parking in an easier way. Definitely addressing the customer call needs to be improved.

Absolutely the best experience with driving schools so far. Super friendly staff. I spent less than an hour with them and felt super comfortable and they do a very nice job preparing students for their road test.

John and the rest of the team are very friendly and helpful people. After moving from the UK to Boston, I needed a license ASAP without the 3 month DMV wait so I booked in for the 2 hours + Road Test package. They were able to allocate me a slot within 3 weeks and provide me with all the necessary details, both driving and paperwork, for the test.Highly Recommended!!!

It was really worth it. I took a 2 hour session and on the same day went to the test and was not able to pass the test; as I got really nervous. Later I called up john and took the feedback about my driving during the test. The feedback and tips provided by john were really helpful and practiced it thoroughly and second time I passed the test.Thank you john.ByKrishna Bandarupally

Very unprofessional!!! I tried to contact John hundred times to schedule me one driving lesson and the road test, most of the time he didnt respond me or the office were closed or respond to my email after 5-6 days. Today, after one month and half, I received the message that they scheduled the road test for Saturday at 7am in Braintree and I live in Watertown... Also I asked him hundred times that I need driving lesson before the road test so I refused to take the road test. Now I don’t know if I have to pay something... And he didn’t call me back to explain me better.I don’t know how he can manage this driving school. The only thing I know is TO STAY AWAY FROM THIS SCHOOL.

I highly recommend Boston Drivers Ed - Driving School. John Baez is the best instructor. I appreciate his teaching methods and patience. Reasonable prices and very helpful staff. Special thanks to Tania for arranging session with John. :)

This was an amazing experience. As an adult driver and very anxious about being on the road, John was the best teacher I could have asked for. I read a lot of reviews before going with this school and Im so glad I chose this one. The parallel parking video was the clincher for me.John was so calm and patient. The very first question he asked when I got in the car was, what are you most nervous about? He asked questions to better understand and assuage my fears. I cant tell you what that meant to me.He walked me through every move before I did it. He observed closely and tweaked my maneuvers when they were off. The repetition was incredibly helpful. As were the bits no one else had thought to mention, like where to keep my eye level when driving. Made all the difference in the world.In reviews of other schools there seemed to be a lot of complaints about instructors yelling and shaming students. I got none of this from John. He always gently called my attention to mistakes, answered all my questions and clarified what I didnt understand. He was extremely dedicated and noticed from week to week how I had improved.I passed my test on the first try and received a big smile and a handshake from John. Honestly felt like he was genuinely happy and proud of me.The examiner in Braintree was fantastic as well. Mim did wonders setting me at ease. Nerves are always high when taking a test but she was as kind and relaxed as could be. It made a huge difference.I would absolutely recommend this school.

Very cozy place. I wouldve paid double for the amount of carefully, and by case instruction I recieved. No egos, friendly staff that just want to see you on the road. My instructor Jose made the experience truly delight with his style of coaching and instructing.

Really good office staff, they were friendly with working out some registration issues for me. Also, the instructors are usually funny guys, and the test was super relaxed. After trying the alternatives, I would recommend this school over others!

We did not take any classes with them. We met them at the road test. They gave us several tips to pass the exam. It was very helpful. And we passed. Very nice people, we recommend them.
