Driving Schools near West Springfield

“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!!“

“Andrew Kwasniewski really helped me with my first lesson. He took me onto the road for the first time and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time, since it was my first time on the main road. He taught me how to reverse park, the 3 point check and how to properly park on the left and right.“

“Great people who make the classes easy and stress free. They made it very easy to know what to do and what you did wrong. Couldn't recommend them enough.“

“My daughter just finished her classes and driving lessons. Everyone here is great. Very friendly team, very accommodating, and they did an amazing job! They go above and beyond for their students and really care about how they do. We are very happy that we decided to use them!“

“Taught me how to drive in a month!! My instructor David was the sweetest person i’ve met. I was afraid of being judged for never driving before, but he made me feel comfortable enough that it was okay to learn something new. I passed my road test with flying colors thanks to him, and would definitely recommend enrolling here if you need to learn quickly.“

“My Instructor was Sarena and she was the best! She was Very friendly!highly recommend her!“

“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.“

“Very knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I have no concerns or apprehension with my 2 children learning either in the classroom or driving at Falls Driving school“

“(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“

“I passed my driving test thanks to him and my family members. He was nice and I’ll miss our silly conversations. He helped me navigate/observe the road, gave me life lessons as well as driving lessons.“

“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.“

“I held off on my review for a bit. There was some scheduling issues BUT had a great conversation with Jerry and was able to get my daughter on the schedule and he was very accommodating with her sports schedule. I def recommend and be a little patient they will come through and make things work.“
