Best driving instructor hands down. Honest, thorough, friendly, and effective! Got me through my road test in 5 lessons and almost 0 practice on my own! He knows the test in and out and has a knack for showing you where you went wrong. Highly recommended!! read more

I have never written a review for a business before but for Dino I have too. If you or anyone you know wants to learn to drive Dino is the answer . Both my son and daughter had driving lessons with Dino and both passed there driving tests first time . Dino is patient kind and knowledgeable and has given my kids the confidence and the knowledge to drive safely . Thank you Dino !! read more

I am so grateful to Dino for his patience and dedication to wanting students help drive better and with ease. I was referred to him by a previous student's mom and now I see why he's got a great rep. I've had a couple of driving instructors, but I didn't feel so relaxed with anyone before. Dino is there to make driving easy and natural. I highly recommend this school. read more

Dino is amazing!! My son had failed his road test before we hired Dino. With Dino, he passed with flying colors!! We cannot recommend him highly enough!!! read more

I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Dino. I am 24, had never driven a car before, and harbored a ton of anxiety around driving. I decided I should really get my license, took the 10-lesson package with him and passed on my first road test! I never thought it would be possible. Dino is incredibly patient, calm, and experienced at driving. He really sets you up to become a confident driver and pass the test... he even made parallel parking a breeze with his tips & tricks to never mess it up. Will recommend everyone in the area to him read more

Dino is a wonderful instructor who made driving much easier for me. I failed my road test the first time and his instruction helped me pass this time around. He is very relaxed in the car, which helped me get over some nerves driving. I would highly recommend him and his school! read more

Amazing instructor, thanks to him I passed my test Super thorough, gives greats tips and is patient with his students 10000% recommend dino! read more

I really did not want to ruin this place's 5 star review, and held out to see whether I would have a chance to get Dino the five stars he deserved. I have had a permit for years, but have never really had the itch to drive. Now that I work remotely but need to travel to South Jersey for work every once in a while, I was set on getting my license as soon as possible so that I could avoid the pesky NJ Transit, if possible. AcceLr8 seemed to have come at the right time -- at my sister's recommendation, I signed myself up for an evaluation lesson. Before getting in that car with Dino that morning, I had *never* driven a car before. My permit served mostly as decoration in my wallet. That morning, we drove around Forest Hills Gardens, as I learned to turn. I was really nervous, and knew that I could have handled the wheel better. Dino was relaxed, laid back, and guided me through left and right turns. Having been the first time I had been in the driver's side, I was incredibly nervous and kept mixing up gas/brake. Toward the end of the lesson, I started to get it. Dino spoke to me about pricing, said we could meet twice a week, and then said he would pick me up in the same spot next time. I texted Dino later that day to thank him for the lesson and ask about scheduling/paying, and never heard back. I reached out once again a few days later, and am still waiting on a response (it's been over a week). Unfortunately, I am now looking for other schools as I do only need to be in NJ about once a month, and would love to get practice in before then. For those of you who can manage to get a package (or a response) here, I envy you. read more

As a transplant Manhattan-ite in Queens, I have my license but haven't driven in years. I was really impressed with everything this school offers - from the new cars (without the ridiculous signage on the roof) to the calm and reassuring manor of the instructor (Dino). Within a few lessons, I was out on the highway! Now I'm off to get the car of my dreams. Definitely recommend them! read more

I passed my first road test today with a Perfect Score - 0!!!!! All thanks to Dino!!!! I'm so grateful I found him on yelp, after searching months for a decent honest driving school. Dino was able to schedule my road test in less than just a few weeks!!!! After just a 3 lessons, mostly helping with my crappy parking. Dino was patient, and is not afraid to tell you as it is!!!! I will be recommending EVERYBODY!!! Thank you for all your help Dino, I'm so grateful I found you through Yelp !!! read more

I thought I'd be a hardcore New Yorker till I die. Had my New Yorker check- list on point: didn't know how to ride a bike. Didn't know how to swim. Didn't know how to drive. Yo, I was proud! As long as I had two feet and a metro card, I could go anywhere. Didn't need all that nonsense...up until the trains started going haywire and my sanity diminished. I started dreaming about a life in the suburbs but then I'd panicked. How da hell was I gonna survive without a car?? That's when I found Dino. Dino is a no-nonsense driving instructor. Super patient. Super chill but doesn't bull shit either. He'll tell you like it is; cuts right to the chase and tells you everything you need to know for the exam. With about 6, 45 minute lessons, I went from being scared shitless behind the wheel to ridin' dirty. They see me rollin'....they hatin'....you know the rest. I passed the test on the first try. You don't know me but that's a big deal. I never envisioned myself driving. EVER. But I did it and I have my license now thanks to Dino. Seriously, if you live in Forest Hills and you don't know how to drive, just do it and get over with. The bus ain't coming. The train station is a mile away. Stop putting your butt through misery during the winter. Stop paying for 2 dollar cabs. Don't go anywhere else. Dino has it down to a science. read more

How did y'all even get an appointment lol? I've been trying to contact this listed number for months now and it goes straight to voicemail. I have left a voicemail - still no luck. I've tried weekdays as well as weekends. Sounds like a great company if you get a chance to work with them. read more

Dino was very informative and straight to the point when it came to educating me on the different rules and techniques it took to pass the road test as well as everyday driving. He was very laid back and let me find my own comfort zone to teach accordingly. Each lesson was completed to its entirety; Dino is quality based to make sure you have the confidence to actually drive a car fluidly. His rates are more affordable and provide a better monetary value as well as quality value than some other places I'd checked out prior. If you're in Forest Hills- or anywhere in the area, give Dino a call and schedule a trial lesson and he'll advise you on what you would need to practice. Note that he gets busy but he'll do his best to accommodate you as best as he can. read more

After my bad experience with another driving school in Forest Hills I decided take lessons from Dino. And I want to say that it was very good decision. Dino is excellent teacher, calm, attentive, he helped me understand my mistakes and working with them. I'm very thankful Dino for his helping and for my driving license! read more

My child passed the road test earlier this week so have to give a big thank you to Dino. We started with a different driving school that focused on safety but not driving skills. Dino teaches and gives the student confidence to take on the road test. Be patient if he doesn't respond right away, as you can expect, a good instructor is busy. read more

After 6 lessons with Dino I passed my road test. His calm demeanor made it easy to relax and follow instructions. I had a lot of anxiety around driving but he gave me the confidence I needed. This was my attempt but first timing learning with him. I'm sure it would have taken me longer to pass had I gone with a different driving school. read more

Best driving school in Queens. You'll never find anyone who cares more about his students than Dino, and takes every step to make sure you understand the proper technical aspects to safe driving. Constant communication and answers every and any questions I had. Was with me every step of the way. I referred several friends to him and they couldn't be happier. Make sure to go with this school if your looking to get driving lessons. You won't find anyone and any place that is better. Thank you!!! read more

Can't say enough positive things about this school. Dino was professional, patient and makes you feel totally comfortable. Also he is extremely honest. He told me I was ready for the test after 3 lessons with him. I passed the road test first try. Thank you so much! read more

This review is for Dino. I signed up for lessons at another school but because of the snow back in Feb i had to reschedule my exam. I had to find another place to take lessons with during the week nights and found this school. Dino is great because he goes over how they deduct points and makes you feel very confident. He is very knowledgeable and also has a fun personality. I passed with my first try! The scheduling was very easy with him and im thankful he was flexible! Thanks Dino! read more

I'm a little bit confused about how there are good ratings. I never even agreed to sign up for the driving lessons I was so turned off by the level of unprofessionalism. Random texts demanding I call, "who this" in response to follow up, then no response to email. When I spoke with him on the phone he was all over the place and couldn't keep straight who I was during our conversation. He then told me to send him a picture of my ID. I don't know him from a hole in the wall, no way was I sending him such personal information. The entire experience left me feeling uncomfortable and with a bad feeling. read more

Dino is a great instructor!!! Had a couple of lessons with him and within a month I took the road test and I passed!! I will always recommend Dino!. read more

Dino is a good instructor. We only buy 10 hours package from Dino, he taught a lot to my daughter. My daughter first tries the road exam and passed. Only 45 minutes a class, sometimes he will late and end class on time. Overall I recommend Dino to who is looking for a good driving instructor. read more

I took driving classes from accelr8 and another driving school but hands down he is the best. He really makes sure you understand the signals and manoeuvres. He also gave a few pointers on the things to remember during the test which can easily get you points off. Will definitely recommend. read more

Dino is an amazing teacher! He doesn't only help you to pass the test (first try baby!) he actually cares and make sure you're driving safely! The whole experience was great thanks to Dino and I'd recommend him to anyone who wants to get their driving license!! read more

Hi, I did one lesson with dino and he was great. He helped to get ready for the road test in one lesson only. He is very honest person and will not tell you take more lessons even if u don't need it. over all i was very happy with him. read more

This is a great driving school for anyone who is trying to perfect their driving skills , and or learn how to drive. Dino and his instructors are patient, dedicated and efficient. After 6 lessons with him, I passed my driver's test the very first time i took it. I was very pleased and satisfied with the professionalism of this company. I would recommend it to any and everyone. read more

An honest instructor who will provide the help that you need. I did not feel nervous behind the wheel. It was also relieving that he had confidence for the both us, that I would pass. I would recommend him to those who are interested in driving courses - whether one needs a refresher or is a novel driver. read more

I cannot believe how lucky I was to find AcceLr8. I used to be so nervous behind the wheel in NYC. They completely changed that. When I met their staff, they not only showed me how to drive, they made sure I was comfortable with the whole process. My instructor would carefully find my weak points, and improve my skills every lesson, at MY pace. They showed me easy tricks and they are great to talk to, making the whole experience so much better. AcceLr8's teachers stand out because they are easygoing, and they connect with their students, which is what I personally look for in a instructor. I passed my driving test and my confidence behind the wheel grew tremendously. read more
