I am posting this review late. I had my driving test at Hamden DMV in Nov last year it went well I passed I took 2 classes with them they told everything and I drove in the area near DMV which is the best thing and above all they have small cars for test which is easy to drive and reverse. I sent my wife to this school and she took 2 driving classes with Gary and she passed on Jan 25 last month. Thanks to the Phil's team and Gary

ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE experience here. I WOULD NOT EVER recommend anyone EVER to come here! This place is completely unprofessional. For one no one ever answers the phone. Secondly their so unorganized, I had paid a large amount of money for classes that ended up getting sent to someone else which in that case I never received a receipt for my payment as well.
They cancel my classes that I had scheduled with them when they took my initial payment over the phone and somehow sent my receipt to someone else. Furthermore I was just over the whole experience. I asked them to issue me a refund however I was promised that I would get a free lesson for their confusion and discrepancies if I didn't go through with the refund which I decided not to and I still have yet to receive my free lesson but they took my money with no problem. If I could give them NO stars I would. Very unsatisfied. DO NOT COME HERE SAVE YOURSELF THE HEADACHE!

Please don't take any service from this school, they are absolutely terrible. I booked a car for my road test on 21 may 12:45, they told that driver will come and he will pick you up from the place. But that's not happened. Exactly at 11 they called me and said that I can't provide any service to you because you are not a student of our school and refunded my money back.
Staff doesn't know what to ask also, shame on them. They don't know from how long I came to give road test.just they said sorry and they terminated call. Because of this people I lost my slot, my time and a Day of my work, still I am struggling to book my slot as no slots are available in connecticut. Thought of not writing review but that pain made me to write. Please think before booking any services from them

Great school I had Gary and Casey as my driving instructors. They were great, just great. They worked with me until I was a safe driver by reminding me the rules of the road, drive in areas that I was incormfortable, and practice important driving techniques. I took my test and pass on the first try. The inspector said i was a very safe driver. I will recommend anyone to come to this school to learn how to drive.
