Colwell’s Driving School

Inadmissible! Please keep away from this a driving school. Definitely I can not recommend it. Rude people.

They did teach me how to drive but not good enough for me to pass the test. My instructor, Paul, did not teach me how to park the right way. He had me put my right hand behind the passenger seat. That screwed me over in my road test. Because I was used to parking like that, I forgot to keep both hands on the steering wheel while parking. Both hands MUST be on the wheel while the vehicle is in motion at ALL times. I’m not saying he was a horrible teacher but he didn’t prepare me well for the road test. I recommend looking for another driving school. I heard from other people about their driving schools how they taught them things and prepared them well for the road test. Those are the kind of schools you want to go to. Not every place is perfect but you can find better. Currently looking at fuzion driving school in Brooklyn.
EDIT: Sorry Colwell’s Driving School but you need to hire some new secretary and some new instructors. Half the time my instructor was on the phone. Told me my errors but didn’t tell me how to fix them. I know this isn’t a good driving school because I found another school that does 1 hour lessons and the first lesson is one hour and 30 minutes (first half hour is free which he spends explaining to you about driving IN DETAIL). He corrects me on my errors and SHOWS me how to correct them. He even put me on a highway. I still can’t understand how a driving instructor tells you to take your hand off the steering wheel when parking. i don’t know if that’s how all instructors from Colwell’s Driving School teach but the one that I had taught me that. When you’re doing your road test, your examiner wants to see your hands in the 2:00 and 10:00 positions. The only time your hand should come off is when your switching gears. When I told my father that my instructor taught me to park the park with one hand off the steering wheel, he was shocked. I wouldn’t recommend my worst enemy to come here and I definitely would never step foot back in there. Even on the day of my road test the instructor hardly gave me advice for the road test. When I compare this driving school to the one that I currently go to now, I can’t understand how this place is doing business. I’m sorry but this so called driving school should be closed down. I hardly write bad reviews but this is how bad I’m upset and disgusted with the way this school is. You’re supposed to represent the place you work for. Being on your damn phones half the time is not the way to go. I really hope you people from Colwell’s Driving School read this and learn something from it.

Rude staff and appalling service. I would recommend steering clear of this establishment.

This is the type of business that exceeds due solely to location, and the convenience potential customers think they’re going to get.
I signed up for a 10-​lesson package, and have had most of my lessons rescheduled due to someone scheduling me at the same time as another student, or someone in the office not knowing my instructor’s availability.
I’ve waited outside multiple times only to never see the Colwell car pull up, only for it not to show.
If you can, avoid this place, and make the extra trip to another driving school. It can’t get any worse than this.
