Access 2 Drive

Not into this place… at all. I had my first lesson with the owner Terry and he later me texted me asked to go to dinner. That left a bad taste in my mouth-​not professional. For this reason, I stayed away from this company and didn’t finish my package. I finally decided to finish my package a year later but they would not let me.
Folks please read the fine print because packages only last 6months-​I should’ve read that carefully because they would NOT me to use remaining lessons (which I paid for) when I called after 6months.
Access 2 Drive is not my cup of tea.

I call there to schedule my appointment and when i give my name, he said he was the owner and proceed on yelling ang giving me a lecture like i was one of his disrectful kids. i cancell my appointments 2 times and i called to do so, i have the record on my phone but he said i never did. He continued yelling next time this next time that. i could even say a word, he wouldn’t let me and when im about to say something he is acting like he’s ready to hang up. i call back for a refund which he told me it’s too late. oh he mentionned he was the owner.
So i dont anything about their skill but from the beginning, the owner (if it’s the truth) is very disrespectful.
You don’t treat customers like that. i wish i read some of these reviews before because i just realized some people are saying how disrectful the owner is.

Worst driving school !!! The owner is very nasty. The instructors are the worst. They are always on their phones when they are teaching you. If u know how to drive go to that school. If u are a nervous, first time learner don’t go. They are just taking your money. First and last time !!! They really need to regulate those schools. Thank you for teaching me a lesson !!!

Went to this school as part of a Amazon local deal which included the 5hr pre-​license course and 2 45 minute driving lessons. They make you take the 5hr course first which was fine. I had a lovely gentlemen named Anthony. He was very nice and informative and really wants everyone to succeed and be safe on the road.
The main problem I had was with the actual driving lessons. They DO NOT pick you up so I had to get someone to drive me and pick me up all the way out there just for an hour and a half lesson (I live near JFK airport). I told the driving instructor that I had lots of previous experience and mainly just needed help with parallel parking and the K turn.
The driving instructor was looking at his phone maybe a third to half of my entire lesson. During my first K turn he was talking on the phone and pointing at me which way to turn the wheel instead of verbally telling me what to do. It was very distracting when I have to look at him instead of focusing on the road and not hitting the curb. At another point he was telling me to «Drive drive drive!» because I wasn’t cutting into traffic and speeding up to go around a double parked truck that was maybe 5 blocks away. I was going the speed limit and did not know which direction we were headed and didn’t want to change lanes yet without the instructors guidance.
I would not recommend this school for driving lessons at all. It’s not in a very safe area of Queens and my instructor was just an all around jerk and I don’t feel like he helped my parallel parking at all. I never got his name but he was an older gentlemen with an accent. Only reason why I gave this location 2 stars instead of 1 was because Anthony’s 5hr class was great. I guess in the end, you get what you pay for.
