Phil's Driving School is the best! Highly recommended. Joined the 8 hours Safe Driving class, and…read moresome lessons with Gary. Everything is cool, easy, they are nice and helpful. Gary is a great instructor, professional and very kind, the driving lesson was smooth and fun with him. He helped me a lot, explained what needed and answered my questions. Best driving school in CT :) !

I would not recommend this school. It has been a frustrating and disappointing experience from…read morestart to finish. The instructors are unreliable. On multiple occasions, we were left waiting for over 45 minutes because of poor communication or lateness. There is no proper office system, everything is handled through text messages, and you only seem to get a response when it's time to make a payment. We tried to get information about my child's classes starting in October, but no one followed up until January, and even then the information was vague and unhelpful. Because of this lack of guidance, my child ended up having to retake all the classes. Shortly after, we received an email saying students were not completing the correct work, which reflects poorly on the school's organization and instruction. To make matters worse, after paying $650 for classes and an additional $125 for the road test, we were surprised to find out we still had to pay the DMV $84 for the license. The school did not clearly explain that their fee only covered the use of their car and administering the test. Overall, the lack of communication, disorganization, and hidden costs made this a very negative experience. I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere.

Live in FAIRFIELD COUNTY? WAIT! Do not sign up for this driving school. They are HAPPY to cash your…read more($900+) payment but when it comes to actually scheduling DRIVING LESSONS in Fairfield, Westport, Southport, and this area - they have LITTLE TO NO AVAILABILITY. DON'T let them tell you differently - its a money grab. They want you to log in on FRIDAYS to try your chances to get a spot - but most of them do not exist. In the past two months I have seen less than 4 slots open in this entire area. When you sign up - they have you pick a date and time at a school - but that means nothing. When I raised this concern, and my ONLY driving lesson was cancelled on the same day, I waited 11 days for them to come back to me with ONE option (I waited for at least three lessons)! This is my second teen going through the program, and its not improved - I don't know what I was thinking by signing up again! Lastly, while Levi tried to help by enlisting a driver from central Connecticut to drive WAY down to Fairfield and give my kid some lessons, EMILY left me a message and was too busy to take my calls when I tried to schedule my son. I asked to speak to a manager and was denied repeatedly. They are really nice people who cannot provide the service that you signed up for - and TOO BUSY to take your calls when you need help. You will see that I rarely leave negative comments, but this place shouldn't be allowed to operate in our towns.

Good evening, Trumbull community…read more Please read, I would like to share some alarming news with parents ... Parents of daughters, beware. If you have a young daughter, I recommend not allowing her to take any lessons here. My daughter, who attends Trumbull High School, is currently taking driving classes with Knepler Driving School. Her instructor's name is Howard Knepler. He appeared overly excited to meet my daughter. I wasn't comfortable the first day, but assumed I was being overprotective. After her second lesson, my daughter told me Howard spoke to her about massaging his niece and how she removed her top, causing him to feel uncomfortable. He then commented on her size, mentioning how he doesn't like skinny girls, and made comments about girls sitting on his lap and preferring girls "with meat." I was extremely shocked and immediately thrown for a loop. We called the driving school and asked that this be addressed. They said he would no longer be her instructor, and he would be replaced with a female instructor, in addition they also gave us a free class. My daughter was in class today talking about what happened to her, and her classmate mentioned having a very similar experience with the same instructor. My daughter's classmate said their conversation was also inappropriate. In addition, my daughter's classmate also shared that her friend had classes with Howard, and he placed his hand on the young woman's thigh. As a concerned parent, this news is extremely horrifying. This man is a predator, and who knows how long this has been going on? As a concerned mother of three, I feel as though I would be doing my community a disservice by not informing you all. We need to protect our children.

Horrible driving school. They are money seekers, do not waste your money here. Receptionist is…read morealways contradicting herself. You do not get your money's worth at all!! We paid for 2hr driving lessons and the driving instructor did not go through with the full 2 hours. We've had so many more problems with the people who work there.
