    Does anyone know the phone number or if they have one cause the one posted on google and yelp isn't in service anymore?

    I called and the number was out of service so I went to the location and it looks out of business.

    I had the best experience with Gold Success Driving School! Everyone I interacted with, from the…read moreamazing ladies in the office to Eric, who set everything up so quickly given my situation, was incredibly warm, welcoming, and efficient. My driving instructor, Frank Dao, is hands down the best instructor I have ever had. After going through multiple instructors at another driving school who never took the time to explain my weaknesses or how to improve, working with Frank was a game changer. He clearly explains mistakes, makes sure you understand how to correct them, and gives detailed, practical tips for everything, from mastering turns to parallel parking. Thanks to Gold Success and Frank's incredible instruction, I passed my road test, and I am truly grateful. I couldn't recommend them more!

    Unfortunately, my experience with this driving school was extremely disappointing and ended up…read morebeing a waste of both time and money. I did receive a refund for my unused portions of the package I paid for. I enrolled as a complete beginner and made that very clear from the start. Instead of receiving patient instruction, I experienced an instructor (Michael) who became frustrated with beginner mistakes and raised his voice during lessons. It was also extremely fast paced for a 20 lesson full package deal. On my third day I was being taught a 3 point turn and parallel parking when I was not comfortable turning onto roads and being centered on roads. There were also communication and scheduling issues. On one occasion, I arrived for what I believed was my scheduled lesson, only to find out the time had been changed without any phone call, email, or text notification. Despite the instructor being available, I spent approximately 40 minutes sitting in the vehicle while he stopped at McDonald's and handled personal matters rather than conducting the lesson. During multiple lessons, the instructor took lengthy personal phone calls while I was in the car, including highly personal conversations that contained inappropriate language. As a student learning to drive for the first time, I expected my instructor's full attention and professionalism, not distractions and personal matters. What ultimately made me decide to leave was being told after only three lessons that my remaining lessons and road test had been canceled because I was allegedly "too nervous." I had attended every lesson, was eager to learn, and had only just begun driving. Although I was offered another instructor, by that point I had lost confidence in the school's professionalism and chose to seek instruction elsewhere. Additionally, while waiting for one of my lessons, I overheard another student discussing a negative experience he had with an instructor named Frank. Under normal circumstances I would not place much weight on another student's experience alone. However, after everything I had personally experienced, hearing another student express similar frustrations further reduced my confidence in the school as a whole. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this driving school.

    Not into this place...at all. I had my first lesson with the owner Terry and he later me texted me…read moreasked to go to dinner. That left a bad taste in my mouth-not professional. For this reason, I stayed away from this company and didn't finish my package. I finally decided to finish my package a year later but they would not let me. Folks please read the fine print because packages only last 6months-I should've read that carefully because they would NOT me to use remaining lessons (which I paid for) when I called after 6months. Access 2 Drive is not my cup of tea.

I had a lovely gentlemen named Anthony. He was very nice and informative and really wants everyone to succeed and be safe on the road. The main problem I had was with the actual driving lessons. They DO NOT pick you up so I had to get someone to drive me and pick me up all the way out there just for an hour and a half lesson (I live near JFK airport). I told the driving instructor that I had lots of previous experience and mainly just needed help with parallel parking and the K turn. The driving instructor was looking at his phone maybe a third to half of my entire lesson. During my first K turn he was talking on the phone and pointing at me which way to turn the wheel instead of verbally telling me what to do. It was very distracting when I have to look at him instead of focusing on the road and not hitting the curb. At another point he was telling me to "Drive drive drive!" because I wasn't cutting into traffic and speeding up to go around a double parked truck that was maybe 5 blocks away. I was going the speed limit and did not know which direction we were headed and didn't want to change lanes yet without the instructors guidance. I would not recommend this school for driving lessons at all. It's not in a very safe area of Queens and my instructor was just an all around jerk and I don't feel like he helped my parallel parking at all. I never got his name but he was an older gentlemen with an accent. Only reason why I gave this location 2 stars instead of 1 was because Anthony's 5hr class was great. I guess in the end, you get what you pay for.

I kept calling the receptionist to make the appointment for the road test, being told continually that the appointments are few and in between with DMV and I can try myself to book an appointment on line. I was offended because I was paying for a service and now you are asking me do your job nicely. It has been 11 and a half months since I signed up with Successful School and still no road test appointments. I would not recommend this school !! Michelle A

I booked lessons for my daughter, who will be commuting from college and needed to get her license. We chose their package with 5 lessons, the 5-hour class, and the road test. Her instructor, Steve, was absolutely wonderful, patient, kind, and supportive throughout the entire process. We had a small hiccup along the way, but the receptionist (I wish I remembered her name!) handled it quickly and resolved everything in no time. Yesterday, my daughter took her driving test and passed on her very first try! I can't recommend Success Driving School enough. They made what could've been a stressful process so smooth and encouraging. If you're looking for a great driving school, this is the one!
