I became interested in this school after reading a lot of glowing reviews, to my surprise, the school itself was dodgy, the staff discourteous, the car was a wreck and the instruc...

Editorial review from Citysearch 12/31/2014

Grand Prix Driving school is the best driving school out there. They have wonderful instructors. Dennis took me to my road test (where I passed) and helped both my physical and mental performance with encouragement and exceptional skills. Without his training I wouldn't have been able to pass! more

Editorial review from Citysearch 9/16/2013

Highly recommend. Two thumbs up. They have a new office location. Clean and modern facilities, polite office staff and most important, professional knowledgeable instructors. I passed my roadtest first time. I am a second family generation taking my lessons from this excellent school. We are all happy with this school's service. more

Editorial review from Citysearch 6/26/2013

Grand Prix has instructors that have helped me passed the road test. I was able to get tips on how to parallel park with my instructor, Ed. We worked on my flaws for days and did not stop until my mistakes were solved. Ed was very helpful and has helped me become the confident driver that I am today. I would highly recommend this school. more

Wonderful School 11/29/2010

My entire experience with the driving school was great. Thanks to Eddie I passed my road test with flying colors. I was very nervous having failed the road test before (different school). Eddie made the experience extremly comfortable and worry free. He took his time to explain things and when I made a mistake he made sure to let me know so I could correct it the next go round. Thanks Eddie for a wonderful experience. more

Instructor Ed Panis 8/29/2010

Great experience with the instructor, Ed Panis. Not so great experience with the rest of the staff. I've passed on the first try! Ed is an exceptional instructor: very knowledgable, very methodical, very patient, definitely the one to request for. With his help, I became very confident in driving in NYC : ) Word of caution about the school: schedule your hours at least 2 weeks in advance, and be sure you give them the pick-up address and your phone number every time. The GPDS staff has a tendency of confusing addresses. Also be sure you have one driving hour left for the day of the test. All in all, a very good experience. Totally recommend Ed! more

Ok School. I really recommend Ed Panis as driving instructor 8/5/2010

The instructor, Ed Panis, was really good. He was always pointing out the mistakes I was making, so when I had to take the test, I was always alert to these things. I passed the test (they took only 5 points). I think he was very strict during the training period, but that's what makes him a good instructor. B the end of the training, I was more than ready to take the exam. The only bad side was that the school changed the lessons' schedule very often. more

Ed Panis - Helped me to pass...FINALLY 7/9/2010

Failed road test twice in the Bronx. Went to Grand Prix b/c I figured if a person can't learn while driving in Manhattan, then forget it. Was a very nervous driver and ED PANIS's patience was reassuring. His instructions are easy - makes driving in the city seem like nothing. Very nice gentleman. He helped me to pass on my 3rd try. Ask for him (if he's not booked solid). Pros: Very flexible Hours Cons: Need to call in way advance to get the instructor you want more

The best in the city 6/9/2010

This is a professional and courteous driving school where the whole team works in getting you your license in a fast and as easy a way as possible. Reggie was my instructor and I have glowing reviews for him. He was cool, calm and composed and makes a great teacher. Within no time at all I was able to proceed towards going for my road test which I passed on the first attempt. A big thanks to everyone there!!! more
