I enrolled my teenage son for the full course at Atlas Driving School in West Hartford. As a parent…read morewho believes in giving my child a safe and top-notch driver's education, the instructors and staff exceeded my expectations. Melissa is very attentive and always follows up, ensuring that all in-class sessions are confirmed and that the 2-hour hands-on driving appointments are convenient. Khan was my son's instructor. He is calm, patient, informative, safe, and always early. He knows how to handle a teenager and answers all questions with professionalism and courtesy. My son has anxiety; however, Khan's demeanor and etiquette always set the tone for a pleasant instruction behind the wheel. I am so pleased that my son was under his tutelage, as he now has greater confidence and awareness. I wholeheartedly recommend Khan and The Atlas Driving School without reservation to teach anyone interested in being a confident driver and learning the rules of the road. Update: My son passed his road test on 12/26/2025 with flying colors. He received a perfect score. I am assured that my son is a safe and trustworthy driver. I told you this school was great!!!

Completely disappointed in this driving school. We had a drivers test scheduled in the morning, and…read morethe DMV already instructs you to arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment. This driving school informed us that they would arrive at the Wethersfield DMV to the dmv at 8:45 AM. The person delivering the car arrived LATE. WE arrived a whole hour early sitting in the parking, practiced, and waited patiently. We called the phone number provided MULTIPLE times and it went straight to voicemail. Not one single call back to reassure us that they would be arriving shortly or they were late. And lo and behold THEY SHOW UP in a car that was different from what my driver practiced in. Had the delivery person came earlier, that would've eased our worries by thousand. You can imagine that for a driver it's already very nerve wracking to take a drivers test for the first time in a new location. If you tell the student that the driver will arrive with the car at a certain time, the VERY least you can do is ARRIVE on time. That way the driver is given adequate amount of time to adjust the seat and mirrors to their liking. Or GIVE the student a call back! The man who delivered the car late, had the seat AND the wheel low and didn't care to tell my driver how to adjust the wheel. After the test, I told him I was quite displeased in him arriving after the time they told us. And he said he got the car in west Hartford and brought the car that they gave him. MIND YOU the DMV is 15 minutes away. If we PAID money for you to provide the vehicle, YOU should be getting to the dmv on time. You're a business and providing a service, DO YOUR JOB! What a shame! Prepare to work with people who well over charge! $700 dollars down the fucking drain. Interesting how much the school charges for 30 minute lessons and the so called quality cars they have you drive in. Do yourself a favor and work with NEXT STREET DRIVING SCHOOL. I worked with them in Danbury and had an excellent, non-anxiety inducing experience. Funnily enough, the car my driver practiced with passed US AS WE WERE LEAVING. The man who delivered the car tried calling us back. Do fucking better!

Due to a DMV website malfunction we had to take her driver's test thru Epic, and the night before my daughter's test, they sent an email at 7pm saying they cancelled it and rescheduled her for another date the following month when we weren't available. Getting your license is a huge event for a teen and to have been waiting all month for your test day just to have it get cancelled on you the night before with NO EXPLANATION is completely unacceptable. I've called and left voicemails and no one ever calls me back. The whole place is very unprofessional and I would never use them again.

I came to this school to get my CDL, and honestly, it was the worst experience I've ever had. The…read moreclassroom part was decent I actually learned a lot there. But once you get outside to train? It's a mess. There are barely any instructors, and the few that are around change constantly. It feels like they're always firing and hiring, so there's no consistency and no support. I signed up for the full course to get my Class A, and when it came time for hands-on training, they basically handed me a piece of paper and said, "Figure it out." That's not training. You're completely on your own outside. No structure, no guidance, just frustration. I would not recommend getting your CDL here Class A or B at this location. Maybe other branches are better, but this one was a complete waste of time and money..

I went in person and spoke to Debra Varner and she said that would have a test date and did not happen. People forget if they wait too long without practice but they dont care. They talk & talk but do not deliver. Do not spend time & money with this company for your CDL classes because they do not care about you. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!! Watch out everyone for the review written by Allen S. Because it shows that a member of their staff wrote it! Is not like this person described it. Be aware and do your homework before spending your money with this company. The most important part is that they DO NOT CARE about about you.

She was patient, approachable, and kind. She carefully identified and addressed my problem areas, making it the most stress-free driving experience I've ever had. I was initially worried because my driving test wasn't in Manchester, but she took me around the town where I'd be testing to help me get familiar with the area. She also effectively managed the time and made every second count. I'm incredibly grateful, and I'm so glad I chose The Next Street.
