    To start, Mike was excellent as an instructor, and was able to provide additional training and…read moreanother voice in terms of instruction--which can prove quite helpful. On this basis, I would give a 5 star review. But, the contact/communication has been very bad. Emails flow through someone named "Jessie" who is quite slow to respond, sets short arbitrary deadlines, and since Mike unexpectedly cancelled a lesson on Dec 16, has not responded to numerous emails, a phone message, and even an question that I posted here two days ago about anyone having any recent contact with Shiftabove2. We offered to reschedule or take a refund and have not heard anything back in a month. This side, I would rate a 1 star. Again, Mike was excellent and if they would straighten out the communication issue it would be 5 star rating.

    This review is for anyone like me, who recognized that learning to drive was going to be…read morechallenging and a lengthy process. After extensive research into programs accommodating adults with unique needs, I confidently chose Shift Above 2 Driving School. They stood out with positive reviews, innovative program approach, and the dedication of the instructor Mike, who seemed incredibly educated and experienced in working with people facing different types of challenges. When I initially started at Shift Above 2, my confidence level was basically zero due to frustrating and unsuccessful attempts at learning prior. After giving Mike background on my previous experiences and how i was now feeling about learning, he immediately established a comfortable learning environment by ensuring that the pace of the lessons were entirely dictated by my comfort level. In those first few sessions, I really appreciated that he was highly perceptive. ​Whenever I struggled with a maneuver or began to show signs of distress, he didn't push me. Instead, he would alter the current technique or introduce a different approach that was much better suited to my skill and confidence level. This adaptive teaching style was fundamental in preventing old feelings of frustration from resurfacing. Soon after, I found myself driving confidently in moderate traffic on main roads and performing K-turns and backing up with very little nervousness. My goal in the coming months is to prepare to pass my state road test with Mike's continued training.

    I'm a born and bred New Yorker, which means when I moved to morristown from queens I did not have a…read moredrivers 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!!

    I wanted to brush up on my driving skills. Read the reviews and for the most part they seemed to be…read morethe 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.

    I feel that the lady who was there today did her best not to get our business. First of all she…read moreseemed grumpy since we arrived 9 minutes before 5pm. When the phone rang, you could hear her say, "...looks like I'm gonna be stuck here". Then, when she learned that my son is turning 17 this June, she remarked with disdain, "You know you're late, right?". Don't come here if you're 25! And since we couldn't do Saturday mornings for his classes, she seemed relieved to cancel the registration. But it was all in her haughty facial expressions and the condescending tone of voice that struck a note of repulsion in me. I bid her, "Sorry, for wasting your time. Now you can go home."

Yet when it came to dealing with the office staff I was met with a terrible experience. The lady seems to not be able to control her tone of voice and belittles those who provide her with a minor convenience. I've asked politely the first time around for a copy of my certification that i completed their 6-hour class and I was asked for my name and time when I completed my classes. She never asked for my email the first time because she seemed very persistent to end the phone call that would've just taken 5 minutes of her time. She said I'd have the papers provide with me the next day and they never came around. Their office is closed for the weekend and on top of the office only being opened for 2 hours it's very difficult for anyone to be able to call at a approiate time on a normal work day. Provided I needed this document 3 days prior. I call back a second time and she hits me with the excuse that the email was provided incorrectly. I spell out the email word for word and it has now been 2 days and I have yet to recieve the document which in turn is costing me money.
