Beyond thrilled with the professionalism by the ladies in the office to the driving instructor Rob. I signed my daughter up for a 2 hour class and driving test. She passed! She was very happy and felt super comfortable with Rob and the gentleman who tested her out. Best part is you go to the dmv to pick up your license right after you test! Thank you so much Cantor!

A 5 Star experience. The entire experience for my daughter was professional and structured. Her instructor Keith was wonderful, he gave her some great advice on Safe driving. My daughter was a big ball of nerves before her driving test, her examiner, Patricia was friendly and kind. The office staff, Susan walked me through setting up her DMV appointment. We were in and out within 30 minutes with a very happy new driver. I will recommend Cantor to every parent I know. Thank you!

I am so happy with Cantor's Driving School. The staff is very professional and very friendly. My daughter was very comfortable with all of the instructors. They made the experience of learning to drive pleasant and made nervous parents feel better about their child driving. My daughter got her license and passed the test with flying colors. I can't thank them enough!

I loved the idea of retired police officers as instructors, had seen positive reviews on Yelp and other sites so picked Cantor for my son. Scheduling was easy, they sent reminders and confirmations, and the instructors were always prompt in arriving. My son quickly learned to drive with confidence. He passed his test on the first try and the examiner told me his driving was "excellent". I couldn't be happier!

Glenn is great my son had 3 lessons with him to prepare for his driving test and was able to get his license the first time he tested. He was always early, prepared and very accommodating with drop off's and pickups. We're happy, thank you Glenn and Cantors Driving School. Highly recommend!!

My daughter gained so much confidence driving with Jeff from Cantor's driving school. She took 3-2 hour lessons and Jeff gave her so many tips and advice about driving on the road and what to expect on the driving test. My daughter told me that Jeff put her at ease while driving and when she took her driving test today, she passed easily. She made no mistakes. Thanks so much Cantor's! I will be recommending this school to my friends.

The second the lady from the DMV saw I was taking the test with a Cantor car and my instructor was with me, I got in the car and she said, "you can't be nervous, if they're your instructors, you're probably an even better driver than I am." I'm from Manhattan and had never driven when I started with Cantor (at 22 years old,) and after a few lessons with them I passed the test with flying colors on the first try. They made everything very easy. Thanks a million!! Gwen was especially nice as an instructor.
