Excellent service. Jose, the driving instructor gave me great tips from turns all the way down to pressing on the brakes. I highly recommend.

I would recommend taking driving lessons from Amin Driving School. Would also recommend Raul or Kathy as they are both very professional, experienced instructors, and patient. Had a good experience in all sessions. Thanks to both of them, I passed my Road Test.

Passed my first road test today after just one hour of lesson with Raul. He is one of the best instructors ever! -He answered all my questions and concerns. -He explained what the course in Lodi looks like and what you have to watch out for. -He also helped me to be less nervous about the test.

Shout out to instructors Raul and Cathy! I had 3 out of 4 classes with Raul and Cathy took me to my road test. I had a short session with her. They give great and precise tips to help you be a responsible and skilled driver on the road. Thanks guys! Classes were accommodating and flexible as well. Pricing is fair I would say.

Jimmy was such a great instructor! He definitely prepared me to pass my road test on the first try! He truly takes his time to teach you and make you feel comfortable so that your test is not stressful at all. I highly recommend him as an instructor to practice with if anyone needs more practice in parallel parking, k-turns, and other challenges you may have. If you sign up for a class, ask for Jimmy!

The difference between Amin's Driving School and the others are Jimmy. He is an immaculate teacher, especially when it comes to parallel parking. He goes through the steps of the road test and what is to be expected from you as the driver. Without him I would not have passed my test today.

I was able to do 2 driving lessons to work on parallel parking and working on turns. Because of her help, I was able to get my license on the first try. I don't recall the woman's name, But she was great!

I passed the road test and they helped me tremendously! I took classes with Jimmy and he was super patient and nice and very good at teaching! Although I wasn't able to schedule my road test with Jimmy, I went with Jose and he was extremely helpful and went out of his way to make sure I could pass my road test and I'm very grateful

I highly recommend this driving school! I was able to pass my road test at Newark First try! These reviews helped me pick Jimmy to be my instructor. Jimmy is amazing! I originally had Jimmy scheduled to take the road test with me but I had to reschedule last minute when I mistaken the location of my road test. The school was able to find me a slot with a different instructor last minute. (THANK YOU!) I ended up driving with Raul and he was amazing!

He taught me last minute tips and tricks for the road test at Newark. Overall you pay for what you get here. The encouragement and positive reinforcement provided by both Raul and Jimmy builds up your confidence and makes you more knowledge for the test. With that said I took 4 classes prior to my road test since I was a new driver; I dont regret the investment.

In comparison to other driving schools in Hudson county, it can seem to be a little more costly than other schools in the area but please reread my review as well as others to know if you want to pass the test this is well worth the price.

Kathy was fantastic, and the scheduling folks were responsive and easy to work with.

I have no idea how the other instructors are, but Jimmy is excellent. Not only he teaches you the basic driving skills, he also keeps giving valuable tips with explanation - once you get through the road test, these tips are going to be immensely helpful when you hit the road. And he makes parallel parking a straight forward process.

Kathy was my instructor and she was very good. Thanks to her, I passed my road test at Newark DMV quite effortlessly. She's extremely good and knows the course very well. She gives great pointers to watch out for and is such a sweet person to have as an instructor. Thanks again.

Today R. Menendez from Amin Driving School took my son to Wayne DMV. He was very professional and had a great attitude. He made my son feel comfortable that when he got to his road test he passed it with flying colors. I highly recommend the driving school just make sure you ask for Mr. R Menendez he's cool. Thanks again staff @ Amin

I had limited driving experience previously and practiced with Jose the owner who gave some great tips and tricks - especially related to pace on the road, parallel parking and making a K turn on the road test. Before my road test last month, we made sure to get one more class in and ultimately that paid off as I passed the test on my first try in Rahway. Thanks for all your help Amin Driving School!

Worst driving school. The instructor forgot to show up for a lesson. Then when I called the girl that answers the phone had the nerve to tell me they increased their prices lol! The nerve of these people. On top of that my driving instructor wasn't the one to take me for my road test. They had someone completely different take me. Failed my test. Needless to say the school conned $600 out of me.

Took my road test at Lodi last week and cleared it. Mr. Jimmy was my driving instructor and he was very helpful in navigating through the test prep. He particularly guided me through parallel parking, K turns, and straight reverse on the day of the test, all of which helped me clear it in one go. Would highly recommend Amin Driving school and Mr. Jimmy's services.

My daughter shaniyah went here and had Jimmy as her instructor! He's the best hands down. Jimmy has great communication skills, patience and over all knowledge! He was there every step of the way when it came to my daughter practicing to actually taking her road test and passing. Thank you JIMMY shaniyah and I appreciate you! Go with Amin driving school you won't be disappointed!

Pre-pandemic, I tried another driving school in Jersey City because it was affordable and I learned within my first and only lesson with them that affordable was BAD in this case. When I called Amin, I was a little hesitant at first. At almost twice the price, I was scared I'd be paying for another bad experience. Well I was wrong. First, communication was easy.

I set up appointments via text, got update confirmations there, and everything was smooth. My instructor Jimmy was AMAZING. He started from the very basics, repeated things a million times without getting frustrated, made me a very agile parallel parker (which is vital in the city) and kept me from panicking on the road with light and calm conversation.

I 100% recommend him. If you, like me, have some hesitation, don't. Within a few lessons I was ready to hit the road and now that I passed my exam, I'm ready to drive and comfortable doing so.

Amin Driving school's instructors are reliable and will teach you all the skills you will need to pass your DMV road test. They are all experienced. Mr. Jose, Mr. Mario and Ms. Cathy are very good, and Mr. Jimmy is phenomenal, very calm and reassuring, I passed my test the first time going with him after he reviewed the main points of the test. I hadn't driven for many years and the school helped me a lot to gain confidence again.

Passed my road test in first time all thanks to Jimmy and amin driving class. He is truly amazing professional instructor. Always comes on time make sure you understand all basics, explains your mistakes with patience. He makes sure along with road test you learn to be a good driver. Kudos to Jimmy.

I'm on the fence with this place. One one hand the instructor gave me useful tips for the road test. On the other hand he kept cutting the lessons short by AT LEAST 15 minutes, his instructions were NOT clear, he'd yell at me, was on his phone constantly, would ask me to stop the car so he could do errands. That said I'm trying another school and it's only marginally better. Maybe it's the style of Jersey driving schools

Jimmy is hands down the best. He really cares about you passing and doing well. I had went the day after the flood a few weeks ago to lodi with Jimmy and although they were clearly closed he drove all the way to the testing location just to give me peace of mind. I went today to Rahway with Jimmy and I passed. He also helped my friend to pass and was who recommended Jimmy to me.

He is very straightforward and tells you how it is. I've gone to 3 other driving schools before here and had the best advice service and time at this driving school with Jimmy.

Would not recommend this place. The instructor did not teach well at all & made me stop so that he could use the bathroom. It was very hard to understand what he was saying & he didn't teach me anything new. Waste of money!

Really great experience, I scheduled a 2 hour driving lesson and the road test, with an additional 1 hour session. The driving lesson was competitively priced and I felt really confident with the technical pieces (parallel parking, etc.) afterwards. The owner, Jose, took me for my road test and he was AMAZING! Super friendly, had me run the 'course' a few times first and gave me a lot of great pointers for the test so I was 110% ready, and I passed the test on my first try. Additionally they are great with communication and clarity, Alandra in the 'office' is awesome. Highly recommend Amin, they were heads and shoulders above the other schools I spoke to in this process!

The best driving school in Jersey City. My daughter passed her road test in the first try! Jimmy, her instructor, was very patient and is a true professional and after 6 lessons and some practice, drove her to Rahway where Jimmy was friendly with the DMV testers and she was in and out in 15 minutes. Thanks to Amin and Jimmy, it was a painless experience.

Listen to what the driving instructor says and everything should run smoothly. I recommend Kathy, she is the best. I did a lesson with Orlando and the man is a trip. So glad I met Kathy because she truly taught me a lot of driving skills that I will forever use. Thank you.

It's so refreshing to find a school with capable and friendly staff. The booking person was friendly and tried to accommodate my busy schedule. I got a call the day before confirming my appt and they were prompt for pick up. I also used their road test services and was very happy with the instructor and the car I took the road test in. Happy to say I passed having practice right before the test itself.

I had orlando and he was very impatient and rude. He had a heavy accent. He was always on the phone and took me to a shop so he can get his food. I felt like i was driving around and not learning how to park every time i try turning he would yell at me and say your doing it wrong overall i thought it was a waste of money. Lost my confidence for a while after my practice. Idk why people say he is good he really is not we payed money for good training rather getting yelled at over and over. Quick tip yelling dosnt make a difference u just make the driver more nervous. The lady on the phone was nice only good thing.

The lady who schedules the lessons is nice. Their cars are in good condition. I passed the road test on my very first attempt, because although I was nervous the entire procedure was taught very nicely, in a step-by-step manner. Ask for Angel, he's extremely thorough and following his instructions practically guarantee passing the test

Took my very first driving lesson with Maria and she took all my worries away. I know I need to take more lessons from her to build my confidence and to prepare for my road test. I am hopeful that Maria will help me pass my road test in October. I can't wait to see her next week. Maria is the best teacher. A++

It's not a good school. The driving instructors do not teach you anything. They just take your money. They're also highly unprofessional. The people in charge of scheduling never know anything or change your appointments so they can make a bit more money.

I always make my appointments here with Anna Marie! She's very supportive and I've always felt comfortable with her teaching. There's been bumps in the road (haha), but I passed my roadtest with her help.

I had just one lesson with this school and decided i was better off learning on a Zip car instead. I already had a license and wanted to polish my skills before i buy a car. The instructor Orlando is the most disinterested person you can find in the area. He dint care to talk to me at all to know if there was anything specific i was looking to learn or why i had taken this class.

Throughout the 1 hour of coaching, he was making personal calls to his family. The only time he spoke to me was to give left/right directions. I found this to be a complete waste of my time and money. I was looking to learn the rules of the road and practice them with some guidance from the instructor. Was also looking to practice K turns, parallel parking, highway driving.

But my instructor would know about this only if he kept his cellphone away and focussed his attention to the person who was paying for the hour (me). Keep away from Amin's driving school (atleast from Orlando)

It is the worst Driving School, no proper management. If you book your class for 8am, the driver will call you at 7am and will try to convince you to do the class. Secondly, I had booked my class 5 days in advance and just a day before the class, they calledup to change my schedule. Please STAY AWAY from this school. You lost a student.

I had two very nice instructors there: Joe and Jose. They both prepared me very well and I passed the road test. They were really committed into it, professional and decent. Always on time. I highly recommend them, in contrast with Ideal Driving School, which gave me hard times. I took three classes with them and every time either the instructor was late or they finished early, so it was never really two full hours. They totally unprofessional, once I waited for an hour and half to get the instructor pick me up. Nobody called me and notify of the delay.

I just had a two hours lesson -- basically to get familiar with the car I was taking for the exam the next day. Joe is a really great instructor. He pointed out a few things I would have missed in the exam. The exam went very smooth. p.s. I am not an experienced driver. I learned how to drive using the services of another driving school (Amar), which in terms of professionalism sucked badly.

I had arranged with the other school to go to the test but somehow they cancelled it the day before my test. I feel fortunate I contacted Amin and that I had Joe to instruct me in the last day.

The instructor didn't show for the lesson I scheduled. No one even called me, and the office wouldn't pick up either. Go elsewhere.

Horrible, terrible. do not book with this driving school. I had maria as my teacher and she was on her phone 50 percent of the time and the othet 50 per she was filling out papers and organising them while I was driving. I was left to figure things out on the road in horrible scary traffic.maria was extremelly rude to me while I was in traffic. she is not fit to be an driving instructor. I also had a male driver he was also on his phone for about 45 min.money was their first priority. They never ask me my name.

You put an Asian girl, a Spanish lady and a huge language barrier behind the wheel in the city and what do you get? A car. in flames. But thankfully none of that happened so I kissed the ground when I got out of the car but I sure felt like I was going to crash every 5 minutes while driving. The driving instructor was okay. She didn't do much teaching, it was more like "winging it".

She went on her phone twice and mentioned about me paying her an hour before my lesson ended. Not very professional. Plus, the big language barrier didn't help either. I'd have to ask her where she wanted me to drive and sometimes I'd hear the wrong thing. It seems like a small problem but it's a big deal when you're driving, especially on the highway and for the first time nonetheless.

On the bright side, she was very patient and encouraging especially when I got really nervous. You can call and ask which instructors teach on what day and see who is the best teacher for you. Everyone differs. The company itself was very professional.
