Central Park Driving School

Sounds like a sales pitch from gemlord below. This place is awful. Go somewhere else

My two oldest kids got so much out of their classes at Central Park Driving School. They always came home from class telling me all of the "cool things about the road" and the effects of drinking and driving and texting while driving. The classroom instructor was serious about the kids turning in their notebooks on time, and finishing their assignments, but as firm as he was, he was also lots of fun and always had great things to tell the kids, even from his personal experiences.

The driving instructors are great too! Being a mom who is always paranoid about their kids' driving, I was absolutely amazed at the instructors' nerves of steel. They are very patient with the student driver and are always giving them tips on driving defensively.

My two oldest kids have really enjoyed this driving school, and have even voiced to me and the Central Park Driving School staff that they are going to miss their classes and drives, not to mention the instructors themselves. I am highly satisfied with this driving school and I am going to send the rest of my kids to take driving classes there when it comes time for them to start driving.

Also, come to find out at the beginning of the kids' driving course, the owner of Central Park Driving School (Robert Zaldivar) was the very same man who had taught me how to drive when I was taking a driving course in my high school years back in the 80's. Back in my day, when I took driving from Mr. Zaldivar, I too learned very much and I have remembered a lot. His driving lessons and behind-the-wheel instruction helped make the a good driver, and I feel certain that his lessons (taught to my kids by his brother in the classroom) will be passed on to my kids.

I would HIGHLY recommend Central Park Driving School to anyone who wants their kids to learn how to be better, defensive drivers.

I do not recommend this driving school! They frequently cancel driving appointments for my children and because of that, I had to pay 45 Dollars to extend the contract, all because they could not provide the drivers. Many of the instructors are old, one is even senile and frequently refers to Viet Nam. Pick Central Park if you want your kids to be educated by unreliable, old just plain stupid people. It took them 3 weeks to get my daughters permit, even though they said 3 days. Now, she is unable to get her license on her birthday because of them. I have spoken to three other parents who have had the same problems. One of the drivers used his brake so frequently that my daughter cut her hand on the steering wheel. The cars themselves are hazards with wires and tape dangling near the peddles.
