Grand Prix Driving School

Luke Rocks!

by Martina123 at Citysearch

Luke is an excellent driving instructor that makes you feel comfortable when you are the very first time behind the wheel or a very good companion when you are established driver and just wanting to refresh your driving skills. He is the one who gets you to the road test just once and you don't have to comeback for the second time or third time...

• Pros: The Whole Experience.
• Cons: WHAT?

Luke is a Great Driving Instructor!

ok - so I failed my first road test before and then booked my second appointment through Grand Prix. Had a 60 minute lesson with Luke before the test and he taught me exactly the skills that proved most important to pass the test; he takes no prisoners which is exactly what is needed here.

Luke also happens to be a super nice guy - highly recommended!

• Pros: Luke
• Cons: none - except for a 2 hr. wait which was the DMV's fault...

Great Experience!

I was discouraged at first because the school's prices were much higher than what I was used to (Washington Heights vs. Midtown Manhattan) but after I found out they could schedule lessons to accommodate my schedule, the price was worth it.

My instruction was Mr. Ed Panis and if you can get him as your instructor, you will be pleased. Mr. Eddie, as he is called, is very knowledgeable on the rules of the road and, even better, he makes sure that you understand them and not just follow them.

I thank Mr. Eddie for his patient instruction which allowed me to feel relaxed and confident for my road test which I passed!

Also, to comment on someone else's review where they said the staff was not very friendly.....I started going to Grand Prix in January of this year (2009) and never encountered rude behavior from any staff member. I was actually surprised at how friendly and patient they were while juggling multiple phone calls with students.

I highly recommend Grand Prix Driving School.

• Pros: Flexible lesson schedules
• Cons: non
