Golden Crown Driving School 1176 East Main Street, Shrub Oak, NY 10588

"My son passed the road test on his first try. My other son also passed on his first try 2 years ago. I have one more son to go. I highly recommend this school. The attentiveness, professionalism and fast response is all at 100%. I will definitely have my youngest learn to drive with Golden Crown. I am very satisfied with their instructors."

"More than a year ago, I took my driving test with this place. I do not want to name names as I do not want anyone in trouble. I gave the school a five star review after, as I was asked by my instructor to give him a good word in the review page. First off, he was great at teaching me how to parallel park, however, we were on an empty road and I forgot to signal ONCE, resulting in him screaming at me. I broke down crying, as I didn't expect a stranger who was supposed to help me to yell at me that way. Not only that, I had my actual test scheduled right after this. It was nerve-wracking and awful. After, he told me "it's okay, cry it out" without apologizing for speaking to me that way. I felt nervous to continue sitting at the wheel but had to push through regardless. Yelling should never be used on anyone taking a lesson, especially when they're sitting behind a wheel. Secondly, while he was driving to the test area, he was on a phone call for most of the time. Gossiping over whatnot over some unhealthy relationship. It was really awkward and not really reassuring when about to pull into the testing area. Lastly, he started listening to some motivational video pretty loudly about moving on from toxic relationships. I totally understand wanting to get out of a bad situation, but please keep it out of work. It was just so incredibly awkward and uncomfortable. Outside of the instructor, the service wasn't the best as there was a lot of miscommunication. The first time, I was driven by my other instructor to my original test date (he was alright and nice) but when we got there, we were told my appointment was never made... The next time with another instructor, we were told my appointment was cancelled because I apparently requested it? (I didn't.) It was a really, really stressful period of time- and trying to get a driver's license is already stressful enough. I think back on my experience quite often and was waiting on a long period of time before leaving my feedback. But hey, I perfected my parallel parking on the test from the instructor at a cost of an uncomfortable experience..."

"Kareem Wright is an amazing instructor. I haven’t driven in 33 years and for my first time I felt comfortable on the road behind a wheel. Kareem is patient, cooperative and professional. He will teach you the rules of the road. Thanks a bunch!"

"Kareem is a great driving instructor! I passed my road test on my first attempt after taking lessons with him and listening to his advice. I definitely recommend practicing with him if you want to become a better driver."

"Instructor Review: ☆☆☆☆☆ I signed up for a driver’s package of 4 one hour and a half classes at Golden Crown Driving School in the White Plains location. My instructor Tommy was absolutely fantastic! I wished I had him for the first two lessons. He was an excellent instructor who had a great ability to teach and showed immense dedication to working with his students. He used time productively, analyzing my driving skills as I drove around and pointed out certain things I needed to improve on. He taught me important information about safe driving and his explanations were clear and understandable to follow. One of the fears I previously had was parallel parking. It was thanks to Tommy and his helpful tips that I was able to nail it. His motivation and support gave me the confidence I needed to succeed in passing my exam. I’m extremely thankful to have him as my instructor. Institution Review:☆☆☆ When it came to scheduling my classes, the secretary whom I spoke with was not clear about how the schedule arrangement works with instructors. However, their customer service was responsive and understanding to my needs. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy my experience with the first two instructors I was assigned to. The first one was alright. He was a nice man, but has to be very careful next time to not cross into someone else’s personal space. The second instructor was disappointing. He picked me up at my house blasting loud music from the car. He spent the majority of class time engaging in conversation instead of teaching, would be on his phone, and even asked me what he should eat for breakfast since he was hungry. Very unprofessional. If you wish to enlist to this driving institution, I highly recommend Tommy."
