Chelmsford Auto School

All I have to say is if you get Darlene for your driving instructor on your road test it's an automatic fail. She has failed my son and 2 of his friends in a matter of a 2 months and all for the same reasons. She was very rude and made my son come home crying because she made him more nervous than he already was. He took the practice test on his last lesson and passed with no mistakes, but once he gets in the car with her it was an automatic fail.

She didn't even give him a chance to pass he stepped in the car and knew what was going to happen. I'm sorry to any kids who have to experience a road lesson from her in the future.

A complete scam! Should of read the reviews. Rude, unprofessional, witnessed another driver literally harassed. Had to report to Attorney Generals office and BBB for a refund! Btw, if you ask for a refund in person they will threaten to call the cops and switch the blame on you. A joke!

I regret not reading reviews prior to this appointment. This business is a complete scam. The staff is rude, unethical and should be discredited. After the fact, from what I have heard, you only get passed if you are their student/paid for lessons. How biased and unfair is that?! Essentially, you have to "buy" a license through them. It doesn't matter how good of a driver you are.

I only paid for the road test, $120. Assuming there would be a refresher lesson and that the school would be driving me to the RMV. Nope. There is no refresher lesson (like I was told on the phone) and the lesson happens in the school parking lot. I was completely blindsided. I was then failed over a technicality before I even took the test. What did I pay $120 for?! Complete scammers and waste of time, do not recommend

This school is the best auto school to attend! That is a fact! The personnel are most professional and courteous at all times. Robert Joseph Hunt

Overpriced and awful scheduling. I spent over 600 bucks getting lessons on basic things that I could have asked my grandparents or even simply learned from a handbook. The online courses were unintuitive and the in car lessons were rushed and spread too thinly, and with a new hire who got lost on the road multiple times. Nothing they taught was common sense and I failed my driver's exam twice in a row due to a lack of confidence. You'd be saving the road by not letting your kids come here and teaching them yourself.

I took the test today. It was pouring out but I failed because I went too slow and Turning too slow. I read in the book that in inclement weather, I should drive slower so I did. But I failed for that. Also, during the test, the examiner and the sponsor went on talking about their dentist's son who had committed suicide and his absentee mother. It was so distracting.

They are friendly and professional. However, my son did not learn well from the school. He did not learn how to adjust a driver seat properly among other things. I will say that the worst part of this school is the private examinations that they sell, implying that it is easier to pass the license test on familiar grounds etc. However, the examiners they used are tough and not nicer to the students than the RMV despite the extra money they make. We failed twice here, and were not treated nicely by the RMV examiners.

I took a few classes at this school and passed my license on the first try. My instructor was Alex (Peter) and he was very helpful and kind. Without him I wouldn't have learned how to drive. I didn't expect to learn so quickly! I took a short review class with Kevin 2 days before my road test and he was also very kind and helpful. They make you feel safe & confident while driving and that's coming from somebody with severe anxiety.

You can tell they care and want you to pass. I would recommend this place to anybody and I highly suggest you take classes with Alex you'll learn everything you need to know and he actually made it a fun experience that I'll never forget :) thank you for all the help

I've always been very nervous driving so I decided to come to Chelmsford auto school for some road lessons after a coworker recommended them to me. My instructor is Peter Flynn and he is AMAZING! He makes you feel comfortable, safe, and makes it a fun experience. After only a few lessons with him I'm already feeling much more confident! Highly recommend this auto school and especially Peter as an instructor!

My daughter's driving test was coming up, she was very nervous and her driving reflected that. We scheduled a pre-test drive a few days prior to her actual test. Afterwards, her driving instructor, Marty, very gently told her that she was a fine driver but that her lack of confidence in herself might be her downfall, and he was right. A few days later she passed her test.

She said she recalled the pep talk that Marty gave her during the pre-test, as well as right before taking the actual driving test. I appreciate that he took the time to give her his professional advice. I think all of the staff at Chelmsford Auto School are good and really do want the kids to succeed. They go out of their way for both the parents and the kids and I'd recommend them.

Chelmsford Auto were excellent! My son was with another driving school but with Covid they were not able to schedule any lessons for my son to complete his driving. I called Chelmsford Auto and Kevin explained the process and was happy to take my son as a student. His instructor Marty was great and showed him how to be a good safe driver. Thank you everyone at Chelmsford Auto.

Critical:Quality The driver's ed course was more reasonably priced, but my teacher put in no effort and didn't teach well at all. She didn't give us nearly enough time to take notes and didn't go over the important details enough, so I was unprepared for my permit exam.

I had a wonderful experience with their services and I was fortunate enough to have the same instructor for all 3 lessons as well as my driving test. Their services is well worth the price because they do an extraordinary job. Marty was great, he was encouraging, he was very informative, and he just did everything within his power to ensure that I was ready to go.

I am grateful and I'm more than happy I had him guiding me through the whole process. So thank you very much for helping me pass my test and I would definitely recommend them 100% of the time!

As a student taking the class, I think it was amazing in both the classes and the lessons on the road. My Instructor was really nice and the road lesson was very enjoyable and I did not feel uncomfortable driving. Feel like it was an amazing service also because i was able to do my lessons and driving hours all done in a month. Amazing Service.
