Phil's Professional Driving School

"The driving school staff do a great job in meeting you where you are at and supporting you through all the trials and tribunals of Connecticut's various DMVs; Casey took me driving even in bad weather with hail and snow to give me maximum practice for my road and Ashley is absolutely brilliant with scheduling, always putting you with the right instructor for you. In short, they not only help you get your drivers license, but train you to be a safe and responsible driver"

"Definitely recommend whether doing the full course or the basics. Great value and experience. My daughter did the home training, so we just needed the 8 hour safe driving class and a few behind the wheel lessons to polish her to DMV standards. She had lessons with Gary and Rob. Both instructors gave her unique techniques that helped her pass her test on the first attempt. They were both patient, reassuring and knowledgeable! Casey did a great job on the 8 hour course, making it engaging so it didn't even feel like 4 hours each day. Ashley in the office was very helpful in getting everything scheduled and making sure we knew what was needed and when so we had no wasted time."

"PDS is an affordable and excellent option for quality driving lessons. I have had lessons with both Gary and Diane so far, so I will go over both. Gary: Gary is a great instructor who makes the driving experience enjoyable as well as comfortable with his funny and bubbly personality. He pays attention to what your good habits are as well as bad, and will push you to reach your full potential as a driver. Diane: Diane was my first instructor at Phil’s driving school. She will make you feel at ease and comfortable while driving. I went on the highway my first lesson with her."

"Your experience will highly depend on the instructor you get. I was lucky enough to have Casey as my instructor for most of my classes. He was really patient with me and showed me everything that I needed to know for the test!"

"I passed my test recently and it’s all thanks to this school. My instructor was Gary who was very patient with me while I had anxiety driving and encouraged me to take my test even when I second guessed myself. Their prices are also more affordable compared to most other driving schools. I had one lesson with another driving school before and it was horrible— the instructor made me more anxious and was snapping at me instead of teaching me. So I only took the rest of my lessons at Phil’s! I’d like to mention that Tina was also very kind and motivated me the day of my test. Thank you guys!!"
