Bell Auto School

Taking lessons from a teacher with this school gave me a good foundation for learning how to drive. However, they are NOT meant to be a substitute for time spent practicing on your own with a friend or relative in his/​her car. It is this practice time that will ultimately make the difference between you passing or failing a road test. Lessons with a professional driving instructor are merely icing on the cake, not the cake itself.
The NYS DMV recommends 50 hours of practice before taking the road test. I got about 20 before taking it, including the ten 45-​minute lessons I had with a Bell Auto instructor in a Bell Auto car. I failed the test.

One of the best auto schools in all of Long Island. The experience and quality that was delivered was superb. I specifically received Gordon as my driving instructor through a referral. He is by far one of the most professional, kind, insightful, and intelligent driving instructors. He taught me the core fundamentals of driving. When the day came to the road test i was well prepared to take it and everything seemed so simple. Please note, I took my road test in arguably one of the most difficult places (Garden City Park), with arguably one of the (most harsh road test instructors) or better known as the «executioner» for those who know what i’m talking about. But none of this stopped me from passing my road test and receiving that license to drive.
Also, Im not too certain on what others wrote in regards to instructors being «creepy» or «abducting» their students. I myself wasn’t «abducted» by one of their documented employees nor was the instructor or the staff members i got in contact with for scheduling were creepy. Besides this I owe my driving skills to the auto school and especially Gordon. I would refer him in a heartbeat to anybody that wants to learn how to drive.

Great Auto School, I would say it’s one of the top auto schools in the State. Excellent Instructors, who knew a driving course would be fun? Highly Recommended.

Took several lessons with this school, and the instructor they sent me was a good teacher, taught me to become a better driver, and always on time; however, he was creepy as hell.
Only complaint I have is that he once made a joke about abducting me with a straight face (okay, maybe he was kidding, but it was still super creepy), and then started talking to me about how he hacked into people’s computers and wireless internet connections. Yeah… after that I was too creeped out to go back to him.
I did end up failing the road test, due to a fault of my own, and I would go back to this school again, but this time, I’d request a different instructor. The guy that owned the office was really friendly and helpful, and so was everyone else that worked at the office. Oh, and their new cars are really nice to drive.

i needed to get my 5-​hr drivers ed. course certificate in order to take the drivers license test. bell offers the 5-​hr course for $ 50. Almost 3 hours were spent listening to an elderly man ramble. 30 mins for lunch break at Subways which is a convenient 2-​min walk. The rest of the class was devoted to watching drivers ed videos on drunk driving and etc.
such a waste of 5 hours of my life. at least i got the certificate tho…
