Pagan Driving School

Dec 2022

Pagan's driving school is whatever you make it to be. If you're truly a novice driver and looking for actual instruction, you're better off looking elsewhere. I can't say much about the other instructor (Mercedes) but I had Efrain Pagan, the school's namesake. He's a grizzled veteran driving instructor who will make minimal effort to instruct unless you're asking him questions. His personality is that of a wet paper towel so don't expect a much talking or instruction, mostly humming off-tune to pop song on the radio. The upside is his lack of personality will prepare you for the NYC dmv instructors you'll be testing with. Overall it's okay if you already know how to drive....read full review

First let me say I passed my road test on the first try ?…I highly recommend this driving school. Mr.Pagan was my driving instructor all the way to the day of my road test. Very patient with new drivers. The lovely lady that does the scheduling was always so sweet and pleasant. Classes are affordable and every dollar was well worth it. Thank you again ?

You get what you pay for. If you are someone who already drives and just need the refresher for the test- it's a good place to go since they don't actually teach you the basics. Pagan always has this face expecting you to know what to do. Terrible attitude and terrible aura. Only time I've heard him speak nice to anyone has been over the phone to his daughters. Mercedes is a bit better. She gets a little frustrated and but actually doesn't mind repeating steps for you. I recommend taking her instead. I passed the test but not because they taught me everything- I drive on my own and thanks to my dad I was able to pass the test.
