Barrios Auto School, Brooklyn NY

Last month I booked 4 classes with Sandra and I’m happy to say I passed my road test first try. Sandra was patient with me taking me step by step through the process and I am an excellent driver thanks to her. Ms. Jackie was very helpful with setting up appointments and explaining how the process works. I highly recommend this place as your first pick as a driving school.

This review is long, long overdue. I remembered to do it today as I was weaving through heavy traffic in Queens today.

After having a terrible experience with Super Starz driving school I looked for other options - Barrios Driving school was Godsend. Jackie and her brother Jeffrey are amazing. They are honest, so helpful and truly care to offer the best service possible.

This family ran business will support you on the journey of being an NYC driver. Jeffrey couldn’t have been more patient and helped me regain my confidence behind the wheel after having failed on my first try. Five lessons with Barrios and I passed on the second try!

I must also mention the nice gesture from Jackie to call me up herself to give me the good news.

So glad I came here.

THANK YOU THANK YOU

So I’m writing this review around 4 years late. My experience here was not great. Truth be told, it was a waste of money (hard earned money since I was a fresh out of college student working restaurant jobs at the time).

All we did was drive around the neighborhood. The instructor was not super attentive and gave minor pointers. He could use some coaching on how to be a teacher. But my biggest issue is that we never once went to the site where the road test was going to take place. How absolutely ridiculous is that since it was over in Red Hook (not far from sunset to have dedicated one class for it). It was an entirely new route and I ended up failing the road test because that area had confusing road signs. When I got back in the car the instructor did not say A WORD and just left it at that.

Also, I am now an amazing driver and my parallel parking skills are on point. The way they reach you how to parallel park is definitely NOT the correct way lol. And he would make you park in the same exact location which did not simulate a real nyc parallel parking space (aka how to fit in a tighter space).

Anyway, my friend is the one who ended up teaching me how to drive. I regret not asking her first. I passed my road test on the 2nd try just after practicing a month with my friend and finally getting comfortable behind the wheel.

Best driving school in the neighborhood the lady in the front desk (jaquie) is very nice. If you want a good driving teacher i recommend Enrique, he's very nice and paient plus he helps you learn from your mistakes

Very bad service and they steal your money they say the classes are in Spanish but when it got to the road test it was English and the driver wasn’t pleasant at all

Highly Recommended! Already in possession of a foreign drivers license, I did a few lessons to get accustomed to NYC driving, and received valuable help for navigating the DMV procedures as well as acing the final road test. Both front desk staff and Mr. Barrios were extremely helpful, friendly and professional. Great service and great people, thank you!

Super helpful with any questions or confusions I had. Would 100 percent recommend this place to anyone!

I should’ve gave this review a couple months ago but have been busy but they are a very Professional Auto School and the the lady at the desk was very nice and professional the instructor and the lady at the desk are brother and sister the instructor is professional he will let you know what you do right and what you do wrong and he will go over and over with it with you I was nervous at first but taking more than one class helped me get more comfortable driving my overall experience was good and I give them 5 stars….

Great auto school to attend. The instructor made everything simple and clear to understand so you know exactly what to do on the road. With their guidance and experience you can pass on your first try. Highly recommended school.

Excelente la recomiendo de antemano, muy buen servicio y amabilidad.
Excellent I recommend it in advance, very good service and kindness.

Barrios Auto School is amazing! Definitely recommend, and when you go for lessons ask for Isaac! He’s amazing and extremely helpful. Thanks to the school and Isaac’s lessons I was able to pass on the first try!

I never finished the lessons or took the test with them because I didn’t care for the instructor. I would parallel park and he would ask questions like “who taught you to park that way? “. He was just kind of bitter and mean.

I had a great experience with Barrios. Mrs Jackie is very helpful and extremely friendly. She is very welcoming to everyone and I really appreciate it. Mr. Jeffrey is a good teacher teaching you the right way to drive. Overall a great driving school. I would recommend it. Class scheduling may be longer right now due to covid19. Plan ahead.
