Big Red Bell Driving School

Excellent service and very professional instructors. It might be difficult initially to get in touch with the school but other than that everything else is perfect. They really teach you how to drive safely and pass the road test.

An instructor in a company vehicle (which makes it even more ironic) tailgated me while I was going 5 miles over the speed limit, passed me, and proceeded to go well above the speed limit including while driving through Cass park. I'd hate to see these dangerous driving habits be passed on to a young driver.

They never sent me a zoom link even though I paid for the course!

I used Big Red Bell Driving School in Ithaca, for my teenage son. The instructor Art was amazing. He was very patient, and kind. The customer service was wonderful! Highly recommend!

John is a really great instructor - so friendly and patient! I took lessons with him twice a week and was able to pass my road test within 6 weeks of my first lesson, when I had never held a steering wheel before. I would highly recommend any new driver learn with John at the Big Red Bell driving school!

This is an especially good resource for students who need to borrow a car for the driving test!

I had lessons with Tom and John. Both of them are incredibly nice and patient. They are really accommodating and professional, they gave detailed and useful instructions during the lessons. Having lessons with them definitely made me more confident and I passed the road test in first try. Highly recommend the Big Reg Bell Driving School!

Do NOT go there. He will yell and scream at you when you don't know how to do something. He's yelled and screamed at me even swearing. It's not worth $60.

They're usually really busy. I called Learn Well Driving School instead and got my lessons there. Instructors were really nice. Another good option to think about.

Never received a call back for a week. Called again and then received a voice message claiming they couldn't understand my cell phone number because it was broken up and that I didn't repeat (though this was not true, I specifically remember repeating my number the first time I called), so it "wasn't their personal fault, " according to them (implying it was my fault).

Then they said that they were completely booked and could take on no new students at this time--seems highly unlikely given the two preceding reviews. Anyway, you can try calling them, and I wish you the best of luck, though I am not too hopeful. Wholly unprofessional and very bad at running a business.
