Driving Schools near Springfield

“I had instructor William today 4/07/25 he was a GREAT instructor, takes his time teaching you and gives you great criticism on things you can do better! passed my drivers test thanks to him!“

“I have a road test on 03-01-25, and Glori has made me feel so confident in my driving skills and I was always scared to drive until Glori helped me not be scared of the road. It’s absolutely worth it to put your money into the lessons you will be guaranteed to leave with a license.“

“My instructor was Tyler Brown and he was amazing! He helped me a lot by showing me how to practice parking, including pulling in and backing in from both the left and right sides. He explained each step clearly and made sure I understood how to control the car, check my surroundings, and use my mirrors properly. He's such a great guy and I learned so much from him. It's clear that he's there to help you succeed and he'll do everything he can to make sure you don't fail. Thank you so much“

“Jeremy and Matt, (the 2 instructors) were hands down the chillest, most knowledgeable, and patient instructors you could ask for. The class is something I didn't think I needed. Been riding 6 years with a permit (due to covid and it expiring twice) there's so much more to learn and master even if your a confident strong rider. You'll walk away from this class with a few new tricks and stronger fundamentals. Highly recommend for new and intermediate riders! Such a fun and safe environment.“

“20 years ago I began my journey to obtain my CDL-A license. This is where it all started in Somers, Connecticut.“

“As someone who personally went through Elm Auto School for my license a couple months ago, I can confidently say this was the best choice for a school. I had each of the instructors and all were extremely nice and although they pushed me a little out of my comfort zone, it was just the right amount to help me feel safe and comfortable behind the wheel. The classes were very educational, and the instructors enforced a strict no-cellphone policy to ensure their students were taking everything in and learning it. It only took me about 2 months to finish my on-roads and observations in comparison to some of my friends, going to other schools, who took around 3.5 months to finish theirs. They also worked around my busy schedule extremely well, picking me up from practice, dropping me off at work, picking my up from work, dropping me off at home, etc. After my classes, on-roads, and observations, I was very confident in driving abilities and passed my test. If your looking into driving schools for your teenagers, I would say Elms is definitely a great option!!“

“best driving school in plano. very fast and efficient with amazing instructors. i would 10/10 reccomend!“

“(7 yrs ago) I’ve tried 3 different schools in Springfield and Westfield. This one had the best instructor for someone who knew almost nothing about driving. They are great with adult learners too.(Now) Sending my brother and niece there. Hopefully they have a good experience as well! I’ll come back and review“

“Had 2 instructors Shaun and Dean and they were both funny and respectful. (I'm only on my 3rd lesson so I will update this review when I'm done with all 12)

Edit: I finished all 12 lessons last year but I forgot to update this review lol. It is safe to say that all the instructors that I've had were respectful and resilient with their teachings. They taught me how to park, parallel park, 3 point turns, backup 50 feet, and best of all, prepared me for the final driving test.

On the final driving test, you hand the instructor your DMV permit paper, (The test instructor I had looked like Ted Lasso) and then they keep it for when you have to drive. Obviously, you learned the basics and you demonstrate them on the road. Im not sure but I think there are 2 people in the car during the final drivers test. Ayy but overall they were both polite and kind towards me.“

“Mr. Oquendo is a great instructor and knows how far to go with you while establishing that trust. He was patient yet firm in giving me the boost of confidence I needed. He took time to create teachable moments every time we met for classes. He was thorough and explained the 'whys' behind every turn, etc. If you don't have common sense then he obviously needs to take a different approach so that the driver does not get them both into an accident. I am disheartened by the amount of poor reviews because I had an AMAZING experience and would hope that more people give him a try.“

“My son had a great experience at Agawam Auto School. Being able to take the on road test through the auto school was great! Also being able to practice the test with an instructor before the actual test was really helpful.“
