Moved from NY with an expired license so now, at 50 (🤢) I had to take my written test and now the 8 hour course. Had my first class today, they are split into two sessions, and I really enjoyed it! Angela is simply fabulous and is a pleasure to listen to. My two kids will be also signing up and I cannot recommend this place enough! Not boring, not tedious, honestly, it was a very enjoyable 4 hours so far. You definitely cannot go wrong with picking this place for your driving needs. Great start to my weekend! Cheers, everyone!

My daughter recently completed her driver ed program through ADS and passed her driving test. I am so grateful to Angela and Pete for their patience and kindness. My daughter has extreme anxiety, especially with strangers, and these amazing people just rolled with it. Angela was super understanding and helpful when we had to cancel and reschedule some lessons, and she worked with me to make sure my daughter had the same instructor for each lesson. Pete, her driving instructor, was extremely patient and gentle, and always showed up with a smile, even when my daughter wouldn’t say a word. He worked around my daughter’s needs and allowed her take the lessons slowly so she could get comfortable and focus on learning. By the time she went to take her test she was very confident and passed on the first try. What a great company they have been to work with. I’ll be signing my son up for their courses next year. Thank you ADS!

I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to Angela and her team for their exceptional service. Angela was incredibly accommodating, taking into consideration our family's busy schedules to ensure that my son successfully obtained his driver's license in the most comfortable manner. Her dedication and personalized approach were instrumental in my son's success. I highly recommend her services. 10/10!

I have had four kids who completed the full drivers education course as well as the driving portion. Not only is the owner amazing but she is responsive and puts the kids in her program first. She goes above and beyond and has shown me that time and time again. She makes the kids want to learn and understanding all that goes with driving. I would highly recommend Angela and her team 100 percent!!!!!

An absolute five star service. Kudos to the Angela and the ADS team. My daughter enrolled for the entire program and she got her license in first shot. Their patience and grit in teaching kids to drive (and survive the experience) is nothing short of heroic. I’m sure it’s not easy, but they made it look effortless.

Angela is very unprofessional and has refused to pay outstanding contracts. She receives many complaints from customers and does not try to remedy the situation and instead usually blames the customer. She can be rude and runs her business as such - I would not recommend her business to someone who is looking for a reliable source of instruction for someone learning to drive.

Regsitered my son for this driver's shool. The classroom sessions went fine with a couple minor issues. I scheduled driving sessions and the road test over the phone with Angela in April 2014. I was told that the driver's test would be on Friday July 25 and that license pick up would be July 29th. At that time I was told the driver's test would be in the morning with an exact time assigned. This week I discovered that Angela did not put my son on the driver test schedule. Angela was asked to correct this as this was her error. Angela offer an Aug date ( which fell during our family vacation). I told Agenla that she should honor the July date as the error was her's not mine. Angela then hung up on me. After discussing the problem with my family we decided to reorganize our vacation and return to Simsbury for one day so that my son could take the driver's test on the Aug date offered. I caledl the driver's school ( a few hours after the call with Angela) to setup the driver's test for a second time. I was told by the person that answered the phone that the next available driver's appointment is in Oct..I left a message for Angela to call me back and followed with an email. Agela has not called or email me. This unprofessional awful behavior from a business owner is the reason for my poor rating. There were signs that this business owner was disorganized, litlle issues which included scheduling the parent class, a change in a driver's time schedule with limited notice. I should have required a written confirmation of all appointments including the driver's test when I made these appointment way back in April. I cannot recommend this business at all, if you are reading this review and choose to use this business get everything you schedule in writting!
