I am writing to express my sincere gratitude to Shore Driving School; they have exceeded my expectations with their professionalism and outstanding customer service. The driving packages are very affordable, and I really like the fact that no one at Shore driving school tried and sold me a driving package that was expensive and for lesson I did not need to prepare for my commercial driving road test. I want to say thank you to Vanesha who is the customer service representative at the location on Jamaica Ave and Glen who is the driver instructor who did a wonderful job preparing me for my commercial driving road test. I passed the road test the first time I took my road test. Five stars are not enough for such a wonderful experience. Thank you for an amazing experience. read more

I don't usually write reviews, but Shore Driving School, you more than deserve this one. Not only did I come here for my Class D license, but they also played a key role in me obtaining my CDL Class B. I got my Class D in 2019 on the first try, thanks to the excellent instruction I received here. More recently, in November 2025, I passed my CDL Class B road test with the guidance of Instructor Glenn (first try). From the moment I walked in to sign up for the course, Glenn was there to walk me through the entire process and assured me he'd be my instructor. From that day forward, he equipped me with all the knowledge and skills I needed to succeed. Each lesson was packed with useful information, and Glenn's patience made a world of difference. If you're fortunate enough to have Glenn as your instructor, you're in good hands--he goes above and beyond to ensure you understand everything needed to pass. I would also like to thank the office staff, Anessa and Natasha. Both incredible, professional and transparent individuals who had the world of patience when assisting me schedule the road test. I'm incredibly grateful for all of them for everything they've done to help me along the way. read more

The best driving school, my experience was amazing office service and customer service was great deserve 10 star rating.

He was very patient with me broke down the course to me as easy possible to understand to ensure I will did well.

A Prospective customer went there to sign up for classes and asked to use their rest room the arrogant customer service was so abrupt and rude. They do not allow anyone to use their bathroom. There are other schools I will go give my money to. The person in the front office should represent your company and if she continues that way you will be losing customers. read more

I highly recommend Shore driving school to every person out there who is willing to obtain their CDL license. "Glen" is the best instructor ever. He was very patient and professional at the same time. When I first started, I wasn't confident but I would like to thank Glen who gave me the encouragement to gain that confidence I needed and I was able to pass my road test on the first try all thanks to him. You won't regret coming to this place, it is worth the experience. read more

I was recommended by a co-worker who used the shore driving school before. my instructor was glen, I think he's the owner also. He's a nice, knowledgeable but strict instructor. Came in day 1 terrified to drive that school bus. By the end I passed my test 1st try. not gonna lie I paid a grip, but it was worth it in the end. Give em a try! read more

I just wanna say Ive taken 10 classes so far with Victor and he is hands down the best BESTTTT driving instructor ever. Patient, kind, doesn't make you feel bad for making mistakes, willing to reiterate it until you fully understand. Thank you so so much Victor for helping me to feel comfortable on the road. If you're looking to learn & learn in a way that's positive ask for Victor. read more

Hands down the best driving school. The instructor Glen was the best! He's very professional, passionate and committed to getting you to learn how to drive. His lessons were very informative and he paid attention to your weaknesses and made sure that you walked out of there knowing everything! I highly recommend Shore driving school! read more

Took my road test today and PASSED on the very FIRST ATTEMPT! All thanks to the staffs at Shore Driving School! Joe was the teacher for the 5 hour class and I had my driving lessons with Nesh, VJ and Victor. Suggestion: Pick Nesh- if you do NOT know how to drive AT ALL and/or requires frequent verbal cues on what you should or should have done while driving. VJ- if you KNOW how to drive already and you just need little polishing (my sister did her 5 lessons with him and passed) Victor- a SOLID COMBO: passing the exam, how to be a safe/ responsible driver and making sure the longevity of your car. As per Victor during one of the lessons: " I am teaching you not just to pass the exam but to make sure that you are a responsible driver that would prevent harm to yourself and to other drivers and also making sure that you know how to make your car lasts" And yes, Victor is my FAVORITE. I would also like to thanks Alicia and the rest for being patient and helpful with scheduling my driving lessons (I have a very hectic schedule that it was surprising to see that I did everything in a month and a half). All in all, they get 2 thumbs up from me and I highly would recommend them! read more

great School, goods trucks and professional instructor grantee pass with these guys especially glen i recommed.

OMG !!! Shore Driving School is the best CDL school in Town as far as I know & I've been to three CDL schools in queens. Glen & Jay helped me to the best they've could to help me pass & I know I'm hard headed. I've found they teachings & knowledge to be the closest to what you're going be asked for your skills & road test. & Thanks to all the ladies whom also encouraged me to give them a try. Recommended!!!! RESPECT TO Shore Driving School!!! Gary D. read more

Glen is the man !! He did his absolute best and went above to make sure I passed !! Highly recommend

This school is ok to learn how to drive but as far as inspection goes for the truck is no good. For one they don't allow you to video or take pictures so you can go home and study. They want you to continue going there to study so you can keep paying. That really sucks! I won't be going there after one lesson. Lesson learned! Ferrari driving school is where I'm going. read more

After spending close to 3K with F... auto School and failing my CDL test multiple times , I saw Shore's nice bus on the street and called them! Oh boy, I was in for a treat! From the office staff to the instructor (Glenn) everyone was dedicated, could not find a better School to do my CDL. I passed on the first try! Thank you Shore, you guys rock!!!! read more

I am taking lessons here right now. The people are friendly and I don't think you can get a better driving instructor anywhere else. They are really great at making you feel comfortable behind the wheel. They have a number of packages to choose from. A great advantage is they are open 7 days a week. I'm editing this post because I took my road test and passed, I have my drivers license now. The teaching methods really work. read more

What can I say? This was a pretty straight forward experience. After having a bad experience with another driving school I found Shore. After I scheduled my road test, I called them up and set 4 lessons for the test that was on that Friday. I had a different instructor each day and on the day of the test I was told to meet the driver at the Hollis location I believe. When I got there, there was 2 other people there so we all shared that car to take our test. I passed so I don't really have any complaints except having to be driven to the bank because I some how owed them $4 whatever... read more

They only get a star just to post this they are unprofessional and does not work with you its not about you its all about them they charged me $400 for 10 lessons and driving test and only gave me 6 lessons and no driving test which I had to reschedule my test TWICE!! as they decided they want more money I am trying to finds ways for them not to get away with this next stop I'm filing a complaint with Albany. They should not be in business, every week is a new instructor the y always leave. read more

Finally passed my road test thanks to Shore Driving School. Instructor (VJ) was very patient considering what a nervous wreck I was practicing. The receptionist were always very helpful and professional. read more

A friend of mine, recommended this driving school because he took lessons there as a teenager, and I must say I was impressed with their level of service from start to finish. Very professional and Amazing driving instructors. Oh I also must brag that passed my road test... read more

The drivers were very nice and always on time but the classes during summer is over book.I missed a class from my second package after I paid 150 for five class I was charged 30 dollars extra all together 180 for a class I did not attend! read more

Great driving school. Everyone in my family (Mom, Dad and sister) went to Shore and we all got our licenses. Great staff with great options for those who feel comfortable with their driving capability. Cool, relaxed teachers who know what they are doing make the school great. Keep up the good job! read more

I went to the Jamaica location. My instructor really seemed invested in helping me learn, was consistent, focused on my problem areas and I passed. I previously went to Ena's driving school which was a horrible experience overall and a waste of money. I fed recommend this place. read more

This review is for the Jamaica location. I'm not sure if they share the same instructors but they're run by the same manager and owner. I bought the 10 lesson package for $360. I really wish they had advised me about not taking my lessons too far apart. I work and go to school full time so finding time for anything was difficult for me but I managed to take a lesson once a week. I wish they would have said "you should take your lessons at least a few days apart, not once a week". After my first few lessons I was discouraged because I was a horrible driver but with the help of a few instructors I was able to learn how to parallel park, do a K turn, and perfect my turns(my turns were horrid!). I didn't stick to one instructor because I wanted to learn as much as I could from different angles (everybody has a different style of teaching). I wanted to see which instructors I could benefit from. Majority of the staff was really nice including the receptionist, except this big stocky instructor I once had. I believe it was my 2nd or 3rd lesson. He was heavy set with glasses and as soon as I sat in the car It had a slight odor. Through out the whole lesson I felt like he was yelling at me, perhaps he thought he was just "teaching me" but giving attitude and saying "wuh ya doin gyal? ya na drive befar?!" is not teaching!! He seemed very frustrated and with every slight mistake I made he huffed and puffed and continued to scold me. Obviously I suck at driving that's why I payed $360 to f***ing learn!!!!! We drove around my block a million times!!! no turning, no parking, no K turns!! I felt like all he cared about was when the lesson is going to be over. I was bored of not learning and annoyed because of his attitude, also his accent was so thick I barely understood what he said half of the time! He was rude, seemed very annoyed and was not afraid to show it, and very impatient. The lesson is 45 minutes but I was so pissed off that I ended it shortly with still 20 minutes to spare. As I stopped the car he suddenly became calm and asked me what was wrong. REALLY?!?! you raise your voice, give attitude, and have the damn nerve to ask me whats wrong?!?!?! The owner is also an instructor, an older man (in his 50's) he's nice but impatient, I've also heard other not so nice things about him from his own staff!! All the other instructors I had were kind, patient, understanding, and did their job. One time I had scheduled an early lesson around 8/9am, I had gotten sick a few days before but I figured I'd be okay to drive, that morning of my lesson I was feeling worse (headache, fever, nausea) I tried calling the driving school but they weren't opened yet so when the instructor called to say he'd be there soon I explained that I had been calling the driving school to cancel my lesson, I understand what an inconvenience that was for him waking up to teach me and I apologize for the last minute cancellation but my sickness had gotten worse. So of course he showed up 30 minutes late for my next lesson, HOW UNPROFESSIONAL - TALK ABOUT HOLDING A GRUDGE!!!!! On my 10th lesson the instructor showed up 23 minutes late!!!!! and had the nerve to end it 5 minutes early! So just a warning.... *Try to do your lessons at least a day or two apart *Every instructor was kind, and patient EXCEPT for the two I mentioned *Stick to one or two good instructors *and don't cancel a lesson last minute 'cause they don't care if you're sick they will show up late on purpose next time!!!! read more

Both my brother and I took lessons from this place and got up to the driving test. They've got the nicest teachers ever and very patient, especially considering what a pain I must have been. And even if you fail, they are pretty adamant about troubleshooting for the next time. read more

The instructors were horrible and I wasted money. I wouldn't recommend this driving school to anyone.

When I first arrived at the location to sign up for lessons, I was lucky it was open because the school I originally wanted to learn with was closed nearby. The receptionists are very nice, but that's about it. The driving instructor got upset at every mistake I make and didn't let me learn from them, rather took control of the brake pedal and gas pedal, and even the gears and wheel whenever he saw fit. It was way overpriced for what you get, the driving instructors both arrived late for almost all of my lessons, but ended at the time it was supposed to end regardless, not giving me the extra time I've already paid for, and I got the vibe that all they really cared about what getting paid. I don't recommend this driving school and I'm just praying now that I pass my exam. read more

Passed my Cdl B on my second attempt. It was less their fault and more my job being cheap and only wanting to pay for one class. Natasha is great, and instructor Glen is the best! read more

I took the five hour class here, the teachers name was Dhanraj Singh. The class wasn't very informative it was just a waste of 5 hours; the teacher just spoke about general things nothing really relating to road safety and the road test. I also did five lessons; my first instructor was victor. He was alright during the first lesson, he just got me used to the car but didn't do much. Three lessons in between I had Herbert. HE IS THE BEST!!! He taught me how to parallel park and was very calm and let me do my thing, only telling me when I made a mistake and how to correct it. Gave me good tips for the road test as well and was just a nice person. I had Vj again for my last lesson and did not like him at all. I am taking my road test in a few weeks so I'll be back to say how I did. If you go here definitely ask for Hebert for the driving lessons and bring a snack and your phone for the 5 hour class, if you don't you'll just be sitting there listening to people snore around you. read more

The drivers were excellent but the manager was horrible I missed two lessons due to unexpected events an they still wanted me to pay for them even though I did not use them read more

one of the nicest person you can learn from very professional in his work.Passed in first attempt thank you so much Mr.glen

First i Went to another "more popular" school in Astoria and did 8 hours of training, spent a ton of money, time and stress on a bus with an instructor who i thought was decent at first... Good thing this Astoria school was booked to the point they couldn't accomodate any classes closer to my road test since it lwd me to find my boy, my savior and cdl training WIZARD, Mr Glen over here at shore driving school... Glen taught me more in 2 hours! Than all i had learned from that other waste of time school in Astoria was able to teach me in 8 hours.. the service at shore was way more responsive, understanding, comprehensive, accomodating, knowledgable, professional than the disrespect and attitude i had to deal with from the people picking up the phones and the "manager" i was forced to feal with at Ferrari, oops i mean that Astoria school. Anyways i passed MY road test on my first try on the same day that ferrari had 2 people come and take the test right next to me and they both FAILED! smh feel bad for those guys thwy dont know what they're missing over at shore driving school. TRUST ME IF YOU NEED TRAINING DONE THE RIGHT WAY DONT MAKE THE MISTAKE I MADE..GO TO SHORE FIRST!! LOVE THESE GUYS AND IM SO GRATEFUL! THANKS GLEN! AND THANKS SHORE! read more

This business is extremely professional, from the people in the office to the intructor (Glen) , I was very satisfied. I passed my Cdl B road test with his help. read more

I would NOT recommend Shore driving school. The customer service is horrible and it is difficult to get in contact with an actual adult. This seems to be a family owned business ran by family members age 21 and younger. During a lesson, I had to listen to Sri Lanka/Arabic sounding music which was very distracting and unprofessional. Most of the driving instructors are not very helpful and are mute passengers during the lesson unless a mistake is made. I do not know how this company remains in business. Shut it down!!! DO NOT SUPPORT!!! read more

Let me start off by saying that I had no previous driving experience and I must say that at first I was very skeptical about going with shores driving school. However, I decided that I was going to take the chance and give them the benefit of the doubt. I signed up for the 10 classes package for $360. This package included 10 DRIVING LESSONS @ 45 MINS, 5 HOUR CLASSROOM TRAINING, ROAD TEST APPOINTMENT, CAR FOR ROAD TEST, PICK UP SERVICES AND THE ROAD TEST EVALUATION. First off, the receptionists were very nice and tried to work around whatever schedule I had. Secondly, I won't lie, that 5 hour class was dreadful! It was extremely long and had very little to do with anything pertaining to driving! Finally, I had 3 different instructors but VICTOR was by far THE BEST! I highly recommend him! He was very direct and pointed out specifically what aspects I needed to work on and tried his best to help me improve on these. It wasn't just another class for him, he cared, he waited for me to feel comfortable to move off from the basics. I could tell that he was being very genuine! Simply put, he wanted me to pass and he did a great job at ensuring that I did! I don't think I would have passed if it wasn't for him! Thanks again Victor!!! * Passed my road test on 3/27/13 =] read more

Worst experience ever. The drivers are absolutely unprofessional and rude. Especially Ramesh. He doesnt know how to teach and is insanely rude. He acts like he is too good to teach people. I would never reccommend this place to anyone. They're terrible. The superviser is never around to speak to and nobody else is ever available to listen to you. DO NOT GO HERE. read more
