We just had our second child go through driving lessons with Bell's Auto. I would recommend their services to everyone! Your child gets one-on-one attention during their lessons, they will focus on specific areas if you want (highway, city, etc.) and they are so helpful. Instructors even give pointers for their driving test. They make parallel parking a breeze for kids! Office staff and instructors are professional, friendly, and super helpful. Well worth every penny!

My daughter had the best experience from Bell's 2 years ago, through the Driver's Education Class at her high school. We were very pleased. Also used their Road Test Service-which is a bargain as far as I am concerned! Well worth the money. Last summer, our car was rear ended on the Northway, with my daughter driving. (Police said she was not at fault.) During the accident, she remained calm, and was able to safely pull the vehicle over to the side of the road. She said she kept remembering the things she was taught during driver education and this helped her handle the situation safely. Would HIGHLY recommend.

I recently moved to the capital region from NYC and never needed my license there. I had my permit but no real need to go ahead and get the license nor the desire. Of course living upstate it became a necessity! Used Bell’s for a couple of lessons and the five hour pre licensing course. Jaimz was my instructor and I definitely lucked out by getting him! He was super knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable immediately. He explained things in a way that just made sense and showed where old instructors came short. I can now comfortably park and even drive on the highway! I passed my road test with flying colors and it’s all thanks to Jaimz! I can’t speak for other instructors but if you go with bells, ask for Jaimz!

Wouldn’t recommend, The first few driving lessons I had the instructor was on her phone the entire time. I decided to change instructors and the instructor showed up a half an hour late. All-in-all I wound NOT recommended.

I took the driving lessons and classroom instruction through Bell's driving school back in 1996-1997. I had fond memories of that, Mr. Bell was an awesome teacher, I'm glad to see he's still teaching:)
Every time I parallel park, I always think of Mr. Bell. Because of him, I can parallel park like a champ!

Very rude. Schedule lessons and driving test months from when you like to. Staff will give you attitude and when you have prove that they were wrong they will still say they are correct. Horrible communication with the staff that works there and they are not helpful and they had my information wrong in the computer and they continue to say it was my fault. I wouldn’t even give them one star but you have to rate them with a start. I wouldn’t go here if you don’t have.

Bought $1000 worth of lessons from them over the course of a year with multiple packages. With that type of consumer confidence, I ended up completely underwhelmed. When you purchase package online, you are given promise that someone will call you to schedule lessons within 24-48 hours. I had to call them more often than not days later, with excuse that they coordinate so many high school group lessons. My driving instructor was competent, but I noticed we didn't always go the full 45min or 60min timeframe. Also didn't help that 3 separate times we stopped for him to take bathroom/coffee breaks during my slotted time. I did not get those minutes added back into my driving time on the road.cumulatively, I counted 25min of lost time that would have meant a lot as I trusted Bell's as one of the largest and oldest schools here. Bell's rests on their legacy and its popularity, and its students' progress means nothing. Besides they have contracts with so many high schools, they really don't take adult customers as priority too.

My son had private lessons with Mr. Tice. Bell's auto would call me the day before every lesson and send reminder emails. They were very professional. Mr. Tice was always on time and made my son feel at ease. He taught him the rules of the road and gave him the confidence he needed to pass his road test. The day of his road test my son had one hour practice, then took his test and passed. I think it was well worth the money, and would highly recommend them.

Very happy with Bell's Driving School. My son needed lessons and we signed up at Bell's. The staff and drivers were all very nice. They did their best to accommodate our schedules. They prepared my son well for his driver's test. He passed his road test and is now a very good driver. I would highly recommend them.

Bell's was great! The office staff very accommodating and helpful when problems arise. Teachers were great. My daughter wasn't interested in learning how to drive but I insisted. She had a great Driver's Ed teacher who had her overcome whatever fears she might have had about driving. Now she laughs when I remind her that "she didn't want to learn how to drive. " I would highly recommend Bells

Both of my kids took driving lessons through their high school and Bells Auto. They learned so much and they even taught me some things! Especially around those circles. They have become very good drivers because of Bell's.

Great experience. Mr. Larsen was wonderful. They helped my sdad n learn to drive safely and to be a responsible driver. They also helped him pass his road test the first time. For the time and training you get, the money is well worth it. Very cal able experience. Thank you!

I just called them for three lessons after i tell them my schedule. And they email me a confirmation. Okay. And now i thought i have a lesson tomorrow, said an email saying that schedule revised. Not only conflicting with my schedule, but also get three different instructors for three lessons. I have no idea why would i get contacted only via email. Confusingly high price. Caution if choose this driving school.

Okay, at least they fix it.

Great and I will recommend this school to anyone who want to learn how to drive well and pass the road test. My instructor Mr Lawson was a great teacher. Thank you mr Lawson for your patience and your kindness. Am so happy I pass my first road test.

Very disappointed with our experience. The appointment was on Tuesday. The school call on Monday to confirm, then cancelled it on Tuesday morning. I wasn't given a specific reason for cancelling our appointment either at the last minute. We requested for a refund which did not get process for 3 weeks. My opinion is that Company should respect others time as well.

A+ from the office staff to the instructor I had. I scheduled the road test service and was very grateful they were able to get me in with short notice. The instructor arrived early and was very helpful resulting in a passed road test. Thanks again guys!
