My daughter was previouly enrolled at another driving school but my daughter had horrible experience there. So I had called JA Driving school for additional lessons and to assist my daughter in obtaining her license. Joe was wonderful instructor and my daughter only had good things to say about him. Joe made her feel at ease.He was very patient with my daughter (who was a nervous driver) and my daughter was able to pass and obtain her license and she wouldn't have done it without joe helping her get comfortable behind the wheel. He is also very kind and easy to talk to. I highly recommend this driving school esp. for teen drivers who are just starting to drive. Read Less

My daughter used Joe for both drivers ed and driving lessons. She passed her road test for her license fine on the first try. We had an overall positive experience.

My experience with J A Soares as a parent has been negative. My child, who is learning to drive there, has described some upsetting interactions with the instructor. In addition to that, the instructor actually insulted my driving skills, using my child's current abilities as the basis for the remarks. Furthermore, I'm not confident in the feedback we've received about my child's driving progress; it doesn't seem to align with what I've experienced in their current skill level. Read Less

I just passed the road test today! If it wasn’t for Joe, I wouldn’t have passed. I am a really scared person in the road, and for that reason I just avoided trying to learn for many years after taking few road test in New York. Joe/Mr. Costa is a very good instructor! His instructions are very well structured that when you drive with him you will remember each and every steps that you need to take! I am very thankful that I was his student! I would recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn to drive! I will remember Joe’s instructions every time I drive! Read Less

This school is great. I started out in September of 2009, and enjoyed the class. Yes, the classroom is old school but great instructor. I had Joe, and he was professional, and it took about 3 weeks for all my lessons to complete. I learned so much and Joe was very patient with me. I got ill in the middle of the ed class and was out for 2 weeks. They went out of their way to help me get my license asap. Great Driving school, and decent pricing. I will send my kid here one day if its still open!! Read Less
