If you would like to get your license, DO NOT GO HERE! I truly don't know how they are still in business. The RMV should really shut them down. They don't care about getting back to you after leaving messages etc. Denise is extremely rude! It took my son a year to complete 12 hours of his required road lessons and after all that, they told him he had to wait 6-8 weeks for a road test. I then transferred him out to Henry's Auto School in Everett. They got him a app right away. I did file a complaint to the RMV.

The only good thing that this school has are the instructors, they are really nice people and help me with my driving. But I didn't have enough classes, I started in August of 2019 and it was February of 2021 and haven't finish my 12 required classes, they said that those classes expired, but how I was suppose to not let my classes expired when they didn't even answer my calls, or even the office was close.
And when they answer me I could only schedule 1 class (if they had). They didn't give me the rest because it expired, but they gave me a last class to see if I was prepare for my road test. Thus, I try that this school could take me to my road test, When I had my "last class", and the instructor said that I had to do my own appointment in Wilmington MA, so I could call to this school pay so they could take me. I did what the instructor say, but the school never answer me, which I'm great full for because I would lost $180 to just take me there. Don't waste your time and money here!

Lmao im making it my life goal to get this place shut down. Terrible experience. I finished the class in October 2020 and its June 2021 with the only answer to a phone call for driving lessons being to give a payment which i got hung up on halfway through giving the bitch on the phone the card info. So i will just be waiting 3 more months till i turn 18 to get my license, with my Insurance being through the roof! All because i "went through" the shittiest excuse for a driving school there could ever be. Fuck this place.

Critical:Communication, Professionalism, Quality, Value Finished my online classes mid october and have called to schedule lessons every day since and have gotten no answer, so as everyone i know is able to drive, 5 months later and still not one answer calling every day (trying to call during their ridiculous hours for a "school"). Better off waiting till im 18 to just take my test.
