The instructor is great. I have no complaints with Ruben. My issue is with whoever is responsible for scheduling the lessons. They recommend you text to schedule your lessons and when you do they don't respond back in a timely manner. You have to reach out multiple times before getting a response. Their hours of operation is listed from 8AM - 8PM but yet they send appointment reminders out @ 10pm where a response is required to confirm the lessons. This lack of communication was highly disappointing and unprofessional, leaving me dissatisfied with their service. read more

La escuela de Ben. es una escuela de manejar excelente! Con sólo dos clases pase mi examen practico super bien hoy. Esta escuela tiene buenos precios, buenos profesores y si no hablas ingles tiene el profesor Rubén que habla español. Rubén tiene mucha paciencia enseñándote, te explica muy bien las veces que sea necesario, y te da confianza que puedes hacerlo. yo estaba un poco temerosa con el parqueo pero Rubén me enseñó todos los pasos y aprendí hacerlo perfecto. Ya saben pasen por la escuela de Ben la recomiendo 100% !! Rubén eres el mejor Gracias por todo Bendiciones para ti.! read more

Terrible and very unprofessional. My daughter had an appointment with this Company on a Wednesday scheduled "by then" via text message 8-10 am. We sat on our steps waiting for the driver who NEVER showed up. When we called them, they said the Driver was with someone else taking a test! How is that possible when we have an appointment for NOW??? With. absolutely NO APOLOGIES we were offered to schedule another appointment. No thank you lady!!! We would still be waiting on the steps if we didn't call you and on top of that... NO ONE APOLOGIZED!!! Unprofessional at its best. read more

Ben Driving School - Driving Schools Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My daughter passed her test in the first try today, her first instructor (2 hr lesson) was Mr Joe, he was very patient, understanding, he made it very comfortable for her and she felt very confident. Mr Joe reached out to her on the day of the test and wished her luck including supporting words and her second instructor during the dmv road test was Mehdi, he was a great instructor as well, he was very patient and made her feel confident. Thank you Ben Driving School for everything.. read more

highly recommend this driving school. I was very nervous to start driving, but taking lessons with this driving school really helped me to relax and taught me everything I had to know for the test. Ask for Juan, he's amazing. I got my permit in late June, took three lessons (my last one being last Wednesday) and they got me a driving test appt today (Monday). If I would have tried to make my own appointment, it would've taken weeks. I took it at Levick this morning and passed on the first time. They show you exactly how to parallel park with a few tricks & take you driving on the same route as the test site. Trust me, they know what they're doing - it's worth the money. read more

I had Mehdi as my instructor passed on my first test. Very good instructor teaches everything well.

Unprofessional. I made an appointment scheduled for today and it turns out that they did not write down my time and instead of trying to take responsibility for it, the guy tried to blame it on another woman not writing it down. Then he says he'll call me back which he never did. read more

I was a student with this school at first everything was okay as long as I was taking my lessons every week in the Summer 2015. I took two driving exams at the DMV & failed twice. Just recently I had scheduled my driving exam for the third time on April 2 2016 & I was trying to get a 2 hr practice the week before (3/26/16) my exam called two weeks in advance to schedule never got a call back nor did I even take my test the day it was scheduled. I feel like I wasted time & money with school & I would never recommend any of my friends to take lessons with them. read more

I failed my first driver's test over a year ago and had since then felt beyond nervous about trying again. At age 25, I finally decided to schedule my second test at the Lawndale PennDOT. This is when I found out about Ben Driving School and booked a two-hour lesson with Mehdi as well as a one-hour practice right before my test, in addition to renting the school's car -- all at very competitive rates and on a flexible schedule. Mehdi was extremely patient, knowledgeable and helpful as my instructor. His parallel parking technique was spot-on. And what's more, I passed the test! I'm so glad I chose Ben Driving School to prepare for it and wish I had known them the first time around. Highly recommended! read more

As a current "student" I would like to share my story to help people make an informed decision. ****To those who don't want to read the entire story I write out, the moral is: They were quality teachers yes, but, an unprofessional business.**** The First Communication: So I called the provided number and it took until the third call to get an answer. Through the thick accent of Ben, I was given the first slot of the next Tuesday. It took a couple of minutes purely because I couldn't understand but that was fine. Impression: 15 minutes late. They were 15 minutes late from a location that's only 5 miles away. I excused it. The rest of the lesson was smooth. Second Communication: I didn't immediately schedule the next test as I had work. This proved to be a bit of an annoyance with Ben. After some back and forth with him I had scheduled for Saturday 1-3. I received some calls and texts at MIDNIGHT asking about doing the session at 10:30-12:30. Responding at a reasonable time I said "I thought it was 1-3" He replied "U fine with this time" and thinking he meant the original time I said yes. Juan came to my house saying it was a now or never situation since Ben had changed my schedule. Impression: I was at the testing location being drilled what is EXACTLY looked for on the test and how it works and the point system. Still pretty relaxed but, I overestimated the traffic at one of the test centers and ended up being caught in a panic attack. Juan told me on my way home driving that I wasn't having a panic attack but, I have panic attacks I KNOW when I'm panicking. Third Communication: I called immediately after I calmed down and was home. I scheduled my next appointment, it was smoother. Impressions: The third drive I went to a different testing location and everything was completely fine. I completed the course multiple times and, got great feedback from Juan. He told Ben that my test was ready to be scheduled next Monday. Ben said he could do it. Here's the kicker though, they didn't schedule it. How do I know? I talked to Juan who said Ben would call. And Ben didn't call. SO I waited. Maybe I would hear something back. Nope. Nothing. So I called him. He didn't answer again. I had better luck reaching Juan who forgot we did the course. Then wanted to do it again until I reminded him. I was told again to wait for Ben, fine but, I got nothing. Monday passed. Two days after I didn't get to test I called them out on not scheduling me. No answer from Ben. Juan said to call back if he didn't contact me. I did it as they were closing because I don't know their breaks really. I was now expecting a call for TWO HOURS. I got a text asking for information they already had. They seemed really impatient for waiting two hours after closing to get business done. I agreed on the NEXT monday again heart set. TODAY IS FRIDAY AT 11:50PM. MY SUPPOSED TEST WAS IN THREE DAYS AND THEY RESCHEDULED AN HOUR AGO. Ben texted me saying he didn't want me to take it at a testing center I didn't want to take it at which is fine but, why did they change the day without telling me? A heads up? A warning? Confirmation? I sent snaps of it confirmed for Monday. I was literally making bets on how they'd do it. Ben called after I tried to explain and ask why the change. I was greeted with fast paced word puke of they're too busy Monday at a different location and it's all in my best interest. All I wanted was a heads up or some sort of warning. Nope. F*** my schedule. That doesn't matter to them. I don't know if it's that I'm a teenager and they don't really respect me but, either way, this is unforgivable. Changing appointment times on your schedule with no heads up doesn't work. You aren't listening to the customer then. No, I don't have my license yet and at this rate I don't expect it. read more
