I had to go through them twice. The firat time the girl had given me false hope. I had failed my first road test. I later found out that she left shortly after. This second time my instructor Chris was absolutely AMAZING! He had helped me with all of the anxiety that I had and was able to get me to be confident in myself while driving. Today I was able to pass my road test and was very confident the whole time. Read Less

Chris has been an outstanding driving instructor throughout my learning experience. His extensive knowledge of driving laws, safe driving techniques, patient nature, and professionalism gave me the confidence and skills I needed to become a better driver. Chris consistently went above and beyond, making himself available whenever I had questions and taking the time to explain concepts in a way that was easy to understand. His calm demeanor and encouraging approach helped ease my nerves and made every lesson productive and enjoyable. Chris genuinely cares about his students' success and works tirelessly to ensure they feel prepared, confident, and safe behind the wheel. If patience, professionalism, dedication, and exceptional instruction are qualities you value in a driving teacher, Chris is an excellent choice. I passed my road test and now am a licensed driver.

I had an excellent experience learning to drive with Christopher Grin. He was incredibly patient, supportive, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He always believed in me, even when I lacked confidence, and helped me work through any problems or challenges I faced while learning. His teaching style made everything easy to understand, and he created a comfortable environment where I could improve my skills. Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I became a much more confident driver. I truly enjoyed my experience and would highly recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a great driving instructor.

We can’t say enough great things about Dave from Stevens Driving School—he is absolutely phenomenal. From the very first lesson, he created a calm, supportive environment that instantly put our daughter at ease. Learning to drive can be stressful, but Dave has a way of making everything feel manageable and even enjoyable.
What really sets Dave apart is his patience and ability to explain things clearly. No matter how many questions she (or even mom) asked, he never once seemed frustrated—just encouraging and focused on helping her improve. He breaks down each skill step-by-step, making even the trickiest maneuvers feel achievable.
Beyond his teaching skills, Dave is incredibly personable and genuinely cares about his students’ success. He builds confidence in a way that sticks with you long after the lesson ends. Thanks to him, our daughter not only passed her driving test but she also feels safe and confident on the road.
If you’re considering driving lessons, do yourself a favor and ask for Dave. He’s the kind of instructor who turns a nerve-wracking experience into a positive, empowering one. Truly outstanding!
Thank you Dave!! Read Less

I had a wonderful experience with Stevens Driving School! My instructor was Carmen and not only did she teach me the rules of the road, but also how to be a defensive driver. I had a twenty lesson package and started my first lesson with hardly any driving experience, making me nervous to drive. Carmen calmed my nerves very quickly and was very encouraging. I liked how she had a lesson plan but was also willing to stray from it and focus on a specific skill I wanted to master. She was knowledgeable about driving in the rain and snow which is important to a person living in western New York. The office staff was just as helpful and nice when speaking to them, answering all of my questions. Thanks to Stevens Driving School, specifically Carmen, I am a very confident, knowledgeable driver.

Avoid this place if you can. There has to be other driving schools that are much better than this place. The instructor for the 5 hours safety course was completely unprofessional. He thought that swearing was an appropriate way to teach the class! I paid $40 to go out of my way! I should of stayed in the City of Buffalo and only paid $30 with the driving school on Bailey Ave. I probably would of had a much better experience with somebody who knew what they were talking about. Instead I got someone who used the word "idiots" every chance he got to describe other drivers on the road. Also told a very inappropriate joke about violence towards women. When most of us didn't even respond with laughter like the other students he said it's just a joke. I was shocked at the fact that he even said anything like he did. My aunt was murder by man so excuse me for not finding violence towards women humorous. And by the way if you have a difficult to pronounce name prepare to be the last student to leave the classroom because he cannot pronounce it. So he just wait till you make eye contact with him and then tells you that your next one up but you're the last one! Even if you were not the last one in the door at the start of "class". Read Less

My husband and I ordered a steak sub and an order of fingers. Hubby specifically asked if the sub has mushrooms and was told no (he's allergic). I called and spoke to the Owner to explain the issue w the sub AND that my order of fingers was shorted 2 fingers. His response was "What do u want me to do about it? I think YOU ordered wrong and I doubt you were shorted any fingers bc my guys know how to count!" I was taken aback since I've NEVER been spoken to like this from any so-called manager/owner! I said "I just thought you'd like to know when a mistake like this was made". He said "I suggest you go somewhere else then! Don't F'ing tell me how to run my business Bit$h!". I've never been spoken to like this before in my life and I'm very offended. This guy is a real piece of work. Not only do I have to wait over 10 mins every time I pick up my food, but this is the way he treats a customer who orders from there at least twice a week? Incredible!! Do yourself a favor and give your business to another pizza place in the area who actually cares about their customers. Read Less
