Real Auto Driving School

Very good driving school, taught me a lot and helped me for my road test. Michael is a very good instructor and really helps you prepare more

Mike is Really Really GOOD!!! after my 3rd lesson he told me i was ready for the road test. His parking tips saved me on my road test so LISTEN TO HIM if u dont want to fail !! Mike is very patience and will show you all the ropes of driving . I pass my road test on the 1st try . :) (easy easy easy in my mike vc) more

Passed my test earlier thanks to Mike. Just listen to what he says and you are guaranteed to pass. He is very accommodating with the timing of the lessons, and is a laid back and funny guy. Don't bother with any other place. more

Real Auto Driving School is absolutely fantastic. Michael is the most patient, calm instructor who can teach even the most nervous, new students. If it had been a while since I drove, I would always be stressed about driving for the first half of the lesson, and Michael would just chat and let me drive straight for a while until I got the feel of the car again. I don't mind telling you I had to take the test several times just due to freaking out and nerves, and Michael was always encouraging and supportive, not disparaging. When I finally got my license, I think I jumped up and down and screamed in happiness because it was so much effort and work, but I got it!! more

Mike is a great instructor who will help you learn how to drive after just a few lessons. He is also a very good man in general. I was able to get my license first try when taking the road test!! Thanks to Mike! more

12/23/2010 \r I really enjoyed learning to drive with the Real Auto Driving School. Mike, the instructor has the patience a timid student like me appreciated and a personality that makes anyone calm. His disposition makes the environment conducive for learning. You are a real driver when he teaches you to drive; the technique becomes natural. All you need to do is listen and follow his instructions; the man knows his job and he does it well. There is no luck-and-chance when you pass the road test and Mike was your instructor. You pass because you have downloaded the art . Thank you Mike; you are the best!!!\r more

You have to be prepared to hear the truth. Once you get used to the candid attitude that Mike has, you will realise the worth of the driving lessons. He gives step by step directions for exactly what is needed to pass the test. After he commits to getting you the coveted lisence, you just have to sit back and do as he says. He will make sure you build the confidence to perform and will work on individual needs to polish your skills. The car he gives the lessons in is new, comfortable and easy to drive. The timings for lessons are reasonably flexible. To ensure your driving lisence in NY, this is the man to go to. Good Luck! more

This guy has a personality that you need to get use to, but he really looks out for your best interest, he is very patient and i passed after 3 classes. Definitely check out Real Auto driving school. he also gives you tips on fixing your car. more

MIKE IS VERY NICE, CALM AND RESPECTFULL.\r CALL REAL AUTO DRIVING SCHOOL, AND IN COUPLE OF WEEKS YOU CAN GET YOUR LICENCE, LIKE I DID.\r REAL AUTO DRIVING SCHOOL HAS EVERYTHING YOU NEED- THE BEST TEACHER, GOOD CAR( TOYOTA CAROLLA- LIKE NEW AND VERY COMFY TO DRIVE) AND BEST PRICE.\r \r GOOD LUCK , BUT YOU WILL NOT NEED IT WITH A TEACHER LIKE MICHAEL. more

I got my license on my 4th attempt....yes you got that right....FOURTH time. And that time was with Michael. He is patient, funny and most importantly a great teacher. I'm sure that if he could, he would be able to teach astrophysics or calculus with equally good expertise. He knows what his students need to pass and he gets that for them. The mantra for passing the test is practice, practice, practice and no other driving school in the area can promise personalized training the way Real auto does. The plain reason is that Michael is the be all and end all of the business, no curruption, no hypocrisy. One teacher, one idea. No adulteration. Highly recommended. more

On July 27th I received my License. If it wasn't for mike teaching and giving me tips I don't think I would have been able to pass. He is a very reliable instructor and very observant he watches what you do and then tells you what you what you need help. I would recommend real auto driving school because it's very professional and reliable. Before I went to real auto driving school I haven't drove a day in my life but 2 months later I got my license and I can now say that I am a safe driver because of Real Auto School Driving. Pros: Suitable driving car, reliable anytime of the day, observant more

I needed to get my license before going to California this summer for a camping trip. I already had my permit from a few years back, but needed to take the road test, so I called and went to the prelicensing course, then scheduled a staten island test w/the school car via his convenient service. He says that he doesn't want to hide any information and is willing to tell you anything you would like to know. I found this honesty especially effective in the process of learning and he lets you know in driving practice if you did something wrong -- but he is so experienced that he can usually recommend a precise remedy. Certain things you just need a teacher for and Mike is the best auto teacher i've met yet. Thanks for helping me pass the test on my first try.. :) Pros: Title says it all. Surprising effect through brief lesson.. Cons: Absolutely stated advice can sometimes apply differently more

I'm happy to say I passed my road test and certainly credit Mike with helping me reach that goal. I appreciated that Mike was always on time for appointments and that he offered good pointers on how to be a thoughtful and safe driver. However, I must qualify my recommendation. Mike often made derisive remarks about people based on their physical appearance or other characteristics and would occasionally seek to engage in personal conversation on sensitive topics like race/ethnicity, sex, and political leanings. Though he said these things in a light-hearted way, it was nevertheless inappropriate and made me wonder what he might say about me if I were not in earshot.\r \r Many times I had to remind myself that I had a larger goal in mind--that of getting my license--and that getting into any back-and-forth with Mike regarding his ""observations"" was not worth it. Certainly his beliefs and prejudices were long-held and would not be changed by me.\r \r Also, as several others mentioned, generally a student would drive to pick you up as a part of their lesson and then you'd take over the wheel--with the other student in back--and drive that person back to their location. You would also drive to Mike's next student. That person would then drive you back to your location. While I didn't necessarily mind having another student in the car, there were times when I could tell my presence made a nervous learning driver even more nervous. I also think this practice can keep students from asking questions freely. Notably, because you end your lesson at the next student's location, it can take upwards of 15 minutes for you to be returned to your location, so you should budget at least an hour for a lesson even though you will only drive for 45 minutes.\r \r Hopefully this is helpful. Pros: punctual, affable Cons: makes inappropriate/offensive comments about others more

I'd like to thank Mike for being so professional while he was preparing me for the road test. I was able to pass it with 0 points. He is a great teacher and a nice person. I wish him Good Luck! more

Today i got my license. I just want to say that mike is the best teacher i ever had. His patience and good advise made me into a driver today. So i want to thank him for all his hard work and time. Your the best. Pros: everything success more

Mike is an excellant teacher, ontime, punctual.\r He helped me to pass my driving test on my first attempt.\r I recommend this driving scholl with out any reservations. more

Real Auto Driving school has changed my life. I did not believe that I would be able to actually learn how to drive. My instructor Mike was patient and helped me gain the confidence that I needed in order to pass our test. He is honest and provides clear feedback. I would recommend this auto school for anyone who needs to gain confidence on the road! Pros: Flexible times, reasonable pricing more

Mike is a greatinstructor. he loves what he does and most of all trys his best and never lets you go unless you kno what ur doing. he is a patient teacher. From the first class i took with mike he really tought me how to drive just from the first lesson . Today 03.10.09 me and another student went for our road test and we both passed and we thank mike for making it happen. more

THIS IS REALLY A GREAT DRIVING SCHOOL . THE INSTRUCTOR IS PATIENT , WONDERFUL, DETAILED AND VERY CARING . HE JUST DOESN'T WANT YOUR MONEY HE WANTS YOU TO PASS YOUR ROAD TEST. CAN'T DRIVE? HE WILL TEACH YOU. more

Mike is so cool, and he is so truthful. Sometimes people cant handle the truth when it comes to driving, and Mike lets you open up and become comfortable so you can happy with your driving school. He is very modest and he lets you know the rules and the ways of new york city driving. He is funny and loves to be a joker! He made me laugh with those cookies he always ate. And he does not judge people. He makes you understand where he is coming from, and even though you may not understand him all the time, he makes effort for you to understand. He is a good friend and a great instructor. But please dont schedule your road test in RED HOOK, they are harsh and cruel. But at the end of the day MIke is cool, no matter what anyone says.... you still end up passing the test\r \r Keep Up the Good Work MIKE!\r \r Thanks For All Ur Help! more
