Great Experience!

by huggybear79

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

Pros and Cons

by citydweller101

So here's the deal:

The place itself is run-down and kinda sketchy, the staff is not very friendly and sometimes after you book your lessons they wont have any available instructors, which is obviously a pain. But they do in the end know what they're doing, even if they don't seem to.

The instructors are actually quite good. They will help you pass your road test even if you're not a very good driver. The road test is not rocket science and the instructors know exactly what you need to learn to pass. So in that sense it is good. However, the facilities and cars are kinda gross, but luckily it'll only take a few classes to get the hang of it.

Tips: book your road test as soon as you pass your pre-licensing course, and book all your lessons ahead of time because sometimes they won't warn you and all the instructors will be booked.

• Pros: You'll pass your test
• Cons: Not the most pleasant experience

Highly recommended Roadtest service

by Zbaer

I got my roadtest appointment on time before I go back to college. Instructor was thorough during our roadtest simulated lessons and the staff are friendly and patient, They worked very hard to meet my deadline and to get my license. Highly recommend the service of Grand Prix.

• Pros: Deliver the roadtest service as promised
• Cons: None
