Globex Driving School Inc.

I wish that there was a rating lower than 1. This driving school is worst case scenario. I went for the 5 hour course that is required by the DMV. My instructor showed up late, so we just watched the seatbelt safety VHS from 1982 repeatedly until he finally arrived. The entire 5 hours consisted of Mr. Riley going back and forth between yelling at the class and telling stories that had no basis in driving. He brought us a gallon of water and mouthwash cups and told us we could have as much water as we wanted, but that we were not allowed to leave the floor for any reason. There were no breaks in 5 hours. Mr. Riley said that he wanted to leave early, so he would ask us 3 questions and if we were correct we could go home and he would sign our certificate (I’m sure the DMV would have loved that). We got the questions right. But he said we were wrong (a blinking yellow light DOES mean proceed with caution.)…he never gave us the «right» answer. The whole thing was a joke. I learned nothing except that nobody should ever go to this school. I think he is doing drivers in NY a disservice by pretending to be educating people. I left that room knowing less than I knew when I came in. Please never go here.

I had Mr. Hippolote… worst instructor but i didn’t know that at the time I was with him. I never practiced before so if youre a newbie dont go here or if they give you him ask for a different guy. If you just need a car to practice in then this is fine. One time he grabbed the wheel when i was making a l. Turn on a twoway with no other cars behind or coming towards me and the light was about to change… reason why, i turned a little bit before the yellow lines ended. He screamed at me for not moving after, but it was his sudden grab and continued hold that could’ve crashed the car. For such a miniscule mistake, he could’ve verbally corrected me AFTER. But it was only until i went to a different school closer to the area of my driving test and that had ant available car did i learn so much. I had 8 classes with hippolite, but with the new school i realized i didn’t know how to turn on a car since it was always already on. With the new school my first lesson was learning every button in a car like windshield wipers, Hazzard lights and etc. With hipp. He just told me to drive. You know whats also important that i wasn’t made aware of… my blindspots. I didnt know small cars had blindspots, i thought it was a minivan and truck problem. Its something you need to check on your road test and show youre attentive to it. With 3 lessons from the other school i learned how to properly drive and how to please and make my road test instructer feel safe. But what was also a major help was driving on the jackie robinson from bk to the bronx and my new school area let me encounter more street signs like an always always stop sign, which i didnt see while here and wouldnt have known the difference or how to react to a yeild sign with merging lanes. Hippolote talked about everything that wasn’t important and i would have been unprepared if i stayed with them and probably would have failed my driving test. I also disliked that they kept calling to schedule me for more classes we both realized they couldn’t provide a car for my road test. If i tell you this is my last lesson stop calling, now i feel like i have to hold my head down with each passing globex car.

Don’t even bother going there. first my instructor was never on time. And if a person that values good costumer service this place is not for you.

If you are someone who values good customer service, Globex is not the school for you. Over the past 3 months I have been taking lessons with Blake. His problem was not in regards to his skills as a driving instructor. I would never take away from the fact that he knows his stuff. He wasn’t just teaching me to past the road test, he was genuinely teaching me to drive and I feel 1000% more confident when on the road because of his excellent teaching skills. His problem was that for about my last 5 lessons (which I always scheduled for Sat morning at 8:50am) he was ALWAYS LATE!!! Not 5 or 10 mins late, more like 20 – 40 mins late. Every single Saturday I dreaded my phone ringing about 10 mins after he was suppose to pick me up with yet another excuse why he was running late again. Never apologetic, just full of excuses. Lateness aside, my real gripe with this school and Blake is what happened to me this morning. About a month and a half ago I called to confirm that they had in fact scheduled my road test (this service was a part of my package). I was told a date and time then about 2 weeks later I got a little postcard in the mail from them with the exact same information. That my road test had been scheduled and what time Blake would be picking me up for a practice run and then on to the road test site. This all was suppose to be happening this morning. Well he came and picked me up (15 mins late I might add), we drove on around Brooklyn for practice on the way to the test site, all just to get there and find out that I in fact DO NOT have a test scheduled for today or any day for that matter. I wasted my time, lost money by not going into work on time, all for nothing. The worst part is not one person from Globex has even apologized to me for this huge inconvenience. I call the school to see what can be done and needless to say they were useless. I ended up having to schedule my own road test and the earliest date is not till November. I’m now out of lessons and I told the supervisor that I would appreciate a few of free lessons to make up for the inconvenience. He first said we can’t do that and offered me a measly $ 10 off my final $ 100 payment due the day of the test. When I stated my dissatisfaction he offered me 1 free lesson and told me if I took the free lesson he could no longer give me the $ 10 off. I’ve worked in the customer service industry before and I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that this is not how you treat loyal, paying customers. This is by far the worst experience I have ever encountered and I urge you to give your money to a different school. Globex doesn’t deserve it and isn’t worth all the headaches you’ll surely get.

Globex Driving School is the place to enroll and Mr. Reid is the instructor for you. Mr. Reid is best instructor in the Globex School. Mr. Reid always talking about GOOD JUDGEMENT, sees the entire picture of you. Mr. Reid made me feel very conformable and encourage to become a better driver. TRUST ME take Mr. Reid as an instructor. YOU WILL PASS YOUR ROAD TEST & you will not be sorry when you choose Globex and request Mr. Reid.

Mr Anthony Sneed is one the best driving instructor of all times. He is professional, patience, encouraging and very very very skilled. He knows what he is doing and is very good at it. You can be the biggest chicken when it comes to driving but when you take a few lessons with him you will be confident and brave. I would recommend him to any and everyone.

They have terrible customer service. Probably won’t recommend them to anyone. They are unprofessional and sometimes a little rude the instructer knows his stuff but he always seems as if he is annoyed or can’t be bothered. If I wasn’t already finished with my lessons I would have gone someplace else. I called to cancel an appointment and reschedule the lady didn’t put me down and I called back to ask how comes she didn’t put me down, she got annoyed and agitated no apologies or nothing. Point is take your money somewhere it’s appreciated.

The lack of professionalism here is disgusting. I was directed here by another driving school for their 5-​hour class and the staff here (a man named Riley — who refused to give me his full name or clarify whether that was his first name or last name — and a woman registering students) was rude and kept cutting me off when I tried to relay the information I was given. It is also clear that they are unfamiliar with DMV policies. Unacceptable, Globex. Learn some customer service and do better.

I failed my road test the first time around. Then I inquired about globex and my instructor was Mr.Reid. At first, I was impatient because I didn’t drive in a long time and he kept stopping the car to explain things and I was hasty but when I listened, it made a huge difference. He diagnosed what I did wrong when driving right off the bat– literally in two minutes of me driving. He’s like a driver whisperer. He taught all the tips and tricks that helped me pass the road test. He instilled confidence in my driving and made me realize that good judgement is the most important thing of driving. He loved to illustrate scenarios with his cigarette box lol but it really helped to understand. of course I passed the road test and I couldn’t be happier! So hats off to Mr. Reid. If you happen to use globex, ASK FOR MR.REID. You won’t be disappointed

I had scheduled an appointment with Globex. I waited, 5, 10, 15, 30 minutes and the instructor never came. When i called to ask what was happening, the person I spoke with not only didnt have an answer, he didnt have an apology either. If this is how they conduct their business I’m taking MY business to another driving school.

DUNES DUNES DUNES! Simply the best went out of his way to help me get another copy of my 5 hour certificate when I lost it on the day of the test! Plus I passed because of his patience and consistency LOVE THIS GUY ask for him ONLY real talk! –Cassia Hill
