I'm a born and bred New Yorker, which means when I moved to morristown from queens I did not have a drivers license at 30 years old. I've tried. I used a school in queens that had my driver picking up FaceTimes while in the car with me. I was over it, figured I'd never do it. But I was also over losing my independence. Morristown isn't as walkable as queens. So I called A-1 Peck. Chris was my instructor and from the first day, he was wonderful. He knew my area was congested so he took me to a nearby town with wide, empty roads, to help me build my confidence. He was kind with corrections and never made me feel like I couldn't accomplish the road test. He'd listen to me complain, made great conversation, all while giving me the skills to not only pass, but drive with confidence once I got my license. (Chris also didn't look at his phone ONCE unlike my driving instructor in Queens). With Chris' help, I passed on my first try after 8 hours of lessons (plus one hour of review pre test). It wound up being inches of snow for my test, but he helped me navigate that so I wasn't totally blindsided. A-1 Peck has such a great reputation with the MVC, that my tester even commented on how nice of a person Chris is. Really, just a stellar, stellar experience. If I had failed the first time, I would have written the same review, because you know that A-1 Peck gave you the skills you needed. Just a note, there is a cancellation fee if you cancel lessons same day (I think 24 hours in advance is the limit) and book EARLY! This school is so popular that I was scheduling weeks out. Luckily I work from home so I'm flexible and could take less desirable slots, but if you need something specific, book WELL in advance. And ask for Chris!! read more

I wanted to brush up on my driving skills. Read the reviews and for the most part they seemed to be the logical choice - Wrong My experience with them is like a bad dream. The driving instructor - Donald started by asking to many personal questions. I'm taking lessons to brush up what does it matter if I people around me and other questions As I drove I stopped a bit to hard well he just screamed at me. I then began to feel unsafe and wondered how he treated young drivers. If he didn't have patience and guidance what am I paying him for, my specific questions were addressed by telling me to read the driving manual. As I couldn't wait for the class to end, the car's tire had a puncture. We had to stop on the side of the road, well as soon as he got out he started cursing out loud as to why these things happen. It was quite a show. Once he finished and got back into the car he owed me 25 minutes because the lesson ended early. But he tells me next time he'll give me an extra 5 or 10 minutes. Needless to say I will never use this company again. If the driving instructor has no patience and handles problems that arise by screaming profanity all over the road, he has no business being an driving instructor. read more

Great job by Joe - managing 2 kids back-to-back for their 6 hour training sessions. He put them at ease with his friendly demeanor and professionalism. Both kids expressed satisfaction in their learning experience. The paperwork was done in a timely manner and driving appointments were met on time as requested. I would recommend this driving school to anyone. read more

I was supposed to receive my certificate but it has been past the 10 business days mark and yet noting don't waste your time it's all a scam

We signed up with A1 Peck to get my son his 6 hours of driving that he needed to get his permit. I had asked for 6 one hour lessons as he had not driven before but the only option they allowed was 2 three hour lessons (despite what their website says). How can you expect new drivers to focus for 3 hours. It is clear to me that A1-Peck want your money and want to do the bare minimum to get it. read more

Couldn't be happier with the guys here at A-1 Peck! From the driving instructor who picked up my teen at our house to the one who took her to get her test, the level of service and professionalism was top-notch. Jim made sure my daughter was prepared and gave her the confidence she needed to pass her test on the first try. Very happy with the whole experience! read more

I highly recommend using this school for your children! Jim at A-1 got us out of a bind that our school put us in...and he pulled off a miracle with the DMV! What a stand-up, honorable guy who just helped us out even though he had no reason to! We were desperate and Jim to the rescue! I have three more kids...and they are all going to A-1 when it's time! I can't thank them enough!!! Don't go anywhere else!! read more

We went with Bruce for my 16 yo. Bruce was condescending and rude when he spoke to me while explaining the process. He came late both times and second time lied and said 'he was waiting outside'. He never took my daughter on the highway!!! What is the point of these lessons if you can't even show them how to come on and off the highway. Overall a waste of time and money. I would not recommend to anyone EVER!! read more

Can't tell you how impressed I was with this driving school. During COVID they safely administered one of my twins her written exam that she couldn't take in school due to the pandemic. Within 2 weeks the permits were processed and they had their 6 hours of driving arranged. What can I say about their teacher Bruce? He treated them and cared for them like a grandpa. At their driving test today, he was more nervous than me, their mom. We all hugged goodbye after both girls successfully passed the test! We are actually going to miss seeing Bruce! I can't express enough how important it is to pay for the brush up lesson and to have the teacher take your child to the test. Thank you A1 Peck! read more

The school was on top of everything and made the process easy. Bruce gave my son skills and confidence to the point where I am now completely comfortable being a passenger while my son gains experience. Thanks very much to Bruce and to the school. read more

My daughter raved about how comfortable Terry made her while she took her first lesson with him. She asked that I give them 5 stars on yelp. She was confident and was so excited after her lesson. read more

A-1peck driving school in mine Hill, NJ is sub par at best. The instructor Frank is demeaning . He continuously insulted my child's ability to drive. Made extremely rude comments. Frank wouldn't teach my child how to drive, he continued to drive most of the time. The owner is also rude and wouldn't refund the amount. They didn't teach my child anything, and we couldn't get the permit at the end either. It was a waste of time and money. read more

Today I took my road test and passed! My instructor TERRY is the best. From day one he had been very patient and attentive. He always picked me up on time or way ahead of time and his constant encouragement, great tips and instructions made me look forward to each lesson. He has great teaching skills to teach driving the right way and to put your mind at ease. I was extremely nervous when i first started taking lessons but I was so comfortable with him, it made driving fun. Plus Terry is the kind of instructor who can crack jokes and make the whole experience less stressful. I highly recommend A1 peck driving school and ask for Terry! You wont be dissapointed! I read more

They worked with my daughters and were patient and professional. Likeable and friendly, I would recommend them to others

My child's first encounter (6 hour requirement) with A-1 Peck was positive, but we had a different instructor this year for taking her to the test. Despite the purpose of the arrangement to take her to the test, stay with her through obtaining the license and bring her back home, the instructor abandoned her at the DMV after she passed the test. He then lied to the school management about his departure. He claimed he was trying to save me money (for wait time) even though I had approved the expense. He also claimed he waited while my child made sure I would go to the DMV - a lie - he walked out and my child was not initially sure he had left. The business had no way to resolve the situation while I was driving more than 30 minutes to the DMV. Lets just say - I would not recommend them to anyone. read more

My first appointment was supposed to be 1.5 hours and I only received 1 hour and had to pay for the full 1.5 hours. I was only taken to a parking lot to drive around and park! . Had to reschedule my appointment due to being called into work. They would not work with me on cost and said I had to pay for the full appointment. It is not disclosed on their website that a 24 hour notice is required for cancellation and their office is only open on Saturdays until 12 noon. I was told it was on the receipt, but upon checking it states a "fee" will be charged if less than a 24 hour notice read more

Just completed a series of lessons and am proud to say I passed my road test. My instructor was Jimmy Morris and I can't thank him enough. What can I say except he knows what he's doing. Very patient, understanding and gives great tips on every phase of lessons. Whether you're a beginner like myself or a seasoned driver, you're sure to learn something new driving with Mr. Morris. Great instructor! C. Watson read more

Terry at A-1 Peck Driving School was wonderful! I asked my son what he liked about Terry. In his words, Terry is just a great guy. He makes you feel comfortable. He eases you into things, gives very clear direction and is always smiling and makes you feel up to the challenge. Thank you Terry! He passed the road test on the first try! I would definitely recommend an extra lesson focused just on parallel parking like we did. It helped tremendously. read more
