Reviews of City Auto School
Felisberto Mira
I'm very thankful to auto city driving school! Great staff. All so professional. Passed the road test at my first attempt! I know without your help I wouldn't be able to succeed the test so smoothly! So many thanks to my sponsor. You guys know how to help people to become confident and have more chances of succeeding. I would recommend all my friends to this school whoever need to prepare for their road test!

A fantastic driving school! Conveniently located with good pricing and packages, as well as wonderful staff. All instructors are highly professional and very knowledgeable, each one sharing their own useful tips on how to pass the road test but also be a better driver in general.
Today, after completing about 15 classes, I passed my road test on the first try (and I'm a first time driver!) So if you are looking for a driving school -- be it driving ed. program or private classes -- look no further than City Auto School!
Thank you so much, City Auto!

I have tried three driving schools and city auto is the best with the most reasonable price. I failed in my first driving test after more than 16 hours of driving lessons, spending a lot of $$ in another driving school. I felt fever frustrated and decided to try the City Auto. The coach I met (Raymond) in City Auto knows so much about driving and the test. He is also very patient and made me feel less nervous about the test. I only took two more lessons before I passed my exam. The registration for the test is also very fast and much cheaper than my previous driving school. I highly recommend this school especially for beginner! I will definitely ask all my friends to come here.

I got my license on the first run!
Sam is the greatest teacher you gotta refer him to be your driving tutor (he likes tea so make sure to bring some!)
The place is very organized and the people are awesome!

A few years back I took two 1hr lessons and then took the driving test. I'm not particularly bright but I passed without issue because of a few key tips my instructor gave me.
Now my wife just passed her test first time after a handful of lessons. I look forward to sending my daughter here in 10 years when she starts driving.
Manqing Liu
Solid lessons and instructors. I recommend Matthew, Raymond and Sam, I learnt driving skills which are not only super useful for the road test but also for driving in real life situations, and you can learn from different angles for the same technique from each of them.
The booking of the road test is a bit disorientating, I spent $130 for a road test within a month (1st week of August). However, they didn't register the exam until two weeks after August, and I need to pay the $30 road test fee on the rmv website after I passed the road test to get the driver license.
Overall a solid driving school if you want to prepare for your road test in Boston. I took 10 lessons and I passed on my first try!
Abhishek Singh
The school has mostly good instructors except Louis! Don't take lessons from him unless you want to fail. James and Andrew are the best instructors there.
Junting Zhang
City Auto is very professional driving school. I passed the road test at first time after 9 classes and I never had any driving experiences before. Sam and Mr. Wen, both are very patient and professional. They gave me lots of useful tips, which helped me learn quickly. These tips are not only useful for road test, but also helpful for driving in real life. Especially Mr. Wen, not only told me lots of driving details, but also gave the explanations about the reasons behind the rules. He is very responsible and nice instructors. And every time one day before the class, the lady of reception always called me to remind me of the time of the class. I highly recommended this driving school.
Genny P
I took 3 lessons with 3 different instructors, all were absolutely amazing. I couldn’t parallel park for the life of me until I took the lessons. All scheduled within a week time frame. I was able to push my road test up a week ($150), and passed on my first try! Best driving school here in Boston.
Mar
Overall a solid driving school. Prices are reasonable and pretty easy to schedule. My instructor was patient with me and I appreciate him so much! Definitely consider them if you need just some lessons to brush up, or want a package where they sponsor you for the road test.
xiyuan zhou
A big thank you to auto city driving school! Passed the road test at my first attempt! I know without your help I wont be able to succeed the test so smoothly! So many thanks to my trainer Sam and Andrew! I really appreciate your guidance. You guys know how to teach. And the staffs of this school are always nice and patient to me, they remind me my appointment every time the day before my driving session. I would recommend all my friends to this school whoever need to prepare for their road test!
kuny
Great instructors, great service. I had driving license in another country, so I decided to take only one class. The instructor is patient and professional, for only one class I learned all the requirements for the road test. Before I took the road test, the instructor would tell you the general path nearby the RMV and all the points that need to pay attention about. Besides, I arrived early in the city auto, and another instructor gave me some instructions about how to drive in a rainy day, it hughely helped me relax and release pressure! : )
Pegasus Lee
After three weeks training, today I pass my road test today. I want to thank my driving instructor Eric and the driving school.
I am new immigrant to US. Like some other students, I know how to drive in my country, but did not know that much about the traffic rule in US. I chosed this school because my husband passed the road test several years ago and recommend it to me.
That's why I practice driving with their instructors. Well, they have lot of instructors and each is different style. So, pick one that fits your style. I paid the 15 classes package, thus I have many chances to drive with different instructors.
Only thing I need to do is make appointment for the class and road test. They booked the road test for me and bought me to road test area, so you do not have to worry about it. It is easy for me that I do not have to go online to book the road test which takes three months waiting time.
That's what I want to share, so good luck to you all.
Mateus Frederico Figueiredo
I come back from my country knowing just a little bit of driving and the instructors especially James taught me everything thanks you guys for everything, just be prepared they don't accept credit cards for payment.
But they do an excellent job I passed on my second attempt
Just Don't book your test on brooktown guys
Ka Ming Fung
One-take passed my road test after having a few lessons with City Auto School. All instructors (I met with three) are polite and respectful. They are all knowledgeable and gave me timely feedbacks, including what I did good and what to improve, throughout the lessons. I felt comfortable driving on the road with them. As a visual learner, I particularly appreciate how Mr. Man used toy cars to show me how to do parallel parking and other maneuver skills. They also told me the tips to handle the road test.
The school admin always phoned me a day or two before my lesson as reminder. She was also very up front about the fees so I understand clearly how much were charged and what the charges are for.
Anirudh D
For someone new to driving, I found this school to be amazing and very helpful! Fully professional and friendly staff (from front desk to instructors). The instructors are very pleasant and helpful in everything. Highly recommended for anyone with zero driving knowledge. City Auto School will make sure you learn well and pass the test on first attempt!
Empress I-Klass
I had to do the entire process over of getting my license. I owed a lot of money to Massdot.
Therefore, I was unable renew my license. I got my learners permit, but I didn’t have anyone to take me for my road test. I had to wait almost two months for an appointment at the RMV.
I went City auto school and they rescheduled my test one week after I got my learners permit!
They even asked me what date I wanted to go. They drove me to the RMV and I pass the road test!
I was so happy and pleased that City auto school was so professional and efficient. I’m so happy for their service! Definitely five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Andrea Ferrero
They helped me a lot! I was able to book my road test within just 1 week and I took a driving lesson with them right before my test. Andrew was an amazing teacher and the lady on the front desk was nice and so helpful. I know I wouldn’t been able to pass my test if it wasn’t for them. Thank you!
Simone Ellis
I took the 10 class package and paid to have the road test faster. I passed my test on my first try, the instructors that I had were really good. I’m a little upset that I don’t remember this one instructors name but he was really detail orientated, professional, and made sure the information that he taught stuck with me, I learned a lot from him. Over all it was a good experience.
Donna Dimarchopoulou
I liked the school! They are efficient and have lower prices than others. I got the package of 10 classes plus road test. I took lessons with 4 different instructors that I liked. Especially Lyn (or Liam, not entirely sure) was great and gave me all the useful tips to drive safe, but also pass the exam (which I did).
Ken Ng
One-take pass after 15 lessons as a new driver! Excellent staffs and teachers, especially Man Sir, who has been very patient and professional throughout the course.
Mrinal Sahoo
I came here to schedule my road test. Found them to be really honest and they ensured that the process was efficient and hassle free. I got my license!!!
Fernanda Cerqueira
I had classes with Ken and Louis and they are great instructors, caring, thoughtful, fun. Their classes prepared me very well for the road test and today I passed it! Besides the great instructors, the front desk women are professional and they were very helpful booking my test, confirming the classes a day before, and more. An awesome environment!
Nikhil Bhandary
Decent for the money.
I've never driven before, the only driving I've ever done was the 10 lessons + 1 driving test here, which I passed.
Andrew is a good teacher. I did have little trouble communicating with him, however, as English isn't his first language.
Scheduling of the driving test was slightly chaotic; i paid for a faster driving test schedule (in 2 - 4 weeks). The called me in 2 weeks, but gave me a test at 7am at Braintree AND i would have to get there myself. This is against what the terms of the driving test are (theyre supposed to drive you to the test location, and tests are from 9am onwards). I obviously declined, so they needed more time than the max 4 weeks, effectively rending the extra payment I made for earlier scheduling wasted. later, they didn't call me back until I called them, to which they had trouble with the login code (the RMV uses 2FA to login, and I used an authenticator app) which most people receive by text or email but I never did. I was confused because all they said was "I need code" but what they meant was "I need the authentication code to log into your RMV account" which is overall another language barrier issue.
The day of the driving test, I was also given a different (older model year) car that was different than what I was used to, which caused me to be less efficient on the test.
Sanjith Bangera
Great driving school ! One of the instructors, Matthew is one of the best driving teachers I've learned from. His tips and knowledge helped me in my road test ! Great teacher, patient and kind.
Great school to work with ! :)
Nora Wang
I took ten classes and passed at my first test with them. I had classes with Sam and Raymond. Both of them are responsible driving teachers who can give you useful instructions and pinpoint your problems. The ladies working at the desk are also very helpful.
Brianna Brown
This driving school was very kind and helpful and they helped me pass my road test on my first try! They give very useful tips and were very encouraging. They are also relatively cheap for such quality lessons. I recommend this school to everyone!
patricia case
I got my license today because of City Auto School. As an older (30's) student with very little experience and a lot of fear around driving, I appreciated their patience and communication during the lessons. I got the 10-lesson package plus road test. This place is better and cheaper than others around Boston.
Leena Maqsood
Hi, I took classes with city auto school and found the team very professional. The course instructors were great. They help you learn the nitty-gritty of passing the road test. I learnt the efficient driving techniques and passed the test. Thank you City Auto School! I highly recommend this school.
Octavio Cano
City Auto school was great!
Had 5 lessons to brush up my driving skills along their Road Test service.
All went smooth and after very on-point lessons from their very experienced instructors I was able to pass the driving test successfully!
A+ crew!
Inna Abramova
I had a very positive experience with this school. I took 3 classes with Andrew and learnt a lot of helpful things. Each class, we did a lot of parallel parking, 3-point turns, etc., and driving in the area. Andrew taught me a more efficient way of parallel parking and gave me a number of hints that I find very helpful for my future driving.
I previously took 3 classes with another school in Cambridge, and that instructor barely taught me anything. I'm very happy I switched to the City Auto School.
Also, before my first class, I read the reviews online and got quite scared. But the ladies at the reception were nice to me, Andrew is a great driving instructor, the prices are lower than in many other schools, and passed my test. I recommend getting a class right before your test, this helped me to stay calm on the test day.
Qinyi Chen
Passed my road test two days ago! In the lessons I got lots of practice with parallel parking, 3-pt turns, etc. They also let me take a lesson right before the road test which was really really helpful. Would recommend! :)
maggie lee
I recommend going to this driving school because it helped me learn a lot and it made me become a good driver. The first driving lesson i went to, i was so nervous since I had no experience at all but the instructor guided me and taught me what to do. All of the instructors that I had were all so helpful in helping me learn to drive and I am very thankful for that! This is a really good driving school and I wouldn’t had passed the road test without being at this school and learning from these amazing instructors. This was a very fun driving experience!
Roman Yepishev
The only suggestion I'd like to give to City Auto is to improve the interaction with the students on the phone. Since English is not the first language for the staff, some phone conversations may seem to sound rude.
I have never driven in my life, but decided to sign up for 10 lessons + road test package despite what the reviews here said.
The sign up was easy. Lesson scheduling is done on paper, which makes it hard to find out the times of the appointments later (and I failed to show up for one lesson due to that, the school called, but I was too far away to get there in time), so make sure you record the date and time of the lesson in your calendar as well.
At the end of my 10th lesson I was still not sure I have what it takes to get through the test, and my instructor suggested taking more lessons. Two lessons later the instructor was still not entirely happy about my overall skills, but suggested that I am ready for the road test.
The road test can be scheduled a week in advance if the location does not matter (that's what I chose), or, if you prefer a particular location, the wait times may be much longer.
My test was held in Lynn, and the road was completely unknown. The test itself was easy - turns, T intersection, parallel parking and three point turn. Unfortunately, I was the only one who passed. The other students failed due to: not looking into the mirrors/checking the cars on the left while merging into the street, turning too fast, running the stop sign, not stopping before the T-intersection, not understanding the "park downhill", "park uphill" context (where you are supposed to assume you are parked that way and adjust the wheels accordingly), and demonstrating no sufficient English knowledge as examiner tried to ask the student to turn on the blinkers/switch into reverse.
I would recommend this school, provided that you can can handle the corrections voiced by the instructor and are willing to learn.
Harlen X
Just passed the test. The school provided great training and staff are all very nice.
Dexter Trujillo
I had 5 classes plus the road test with them and I passed! Kent is a very patient and kind instructor, I highly recommend you to schedule your class with him if possible. And he jokes! The receptionist is very kind and she did all the road test process with not a problem.
Danielle Danielle
The school was awesome. If you are someone who can't take constructive criticism constantly than this is not the Auto School for you. The criticism made me a better driver, more aware of the rules of the road and very cautious. Driving on the road is not only about your safety but the safety of others as well. I brought the 10 Driving Lesson + Road Test package and purchased three other lessons the week of my road test. I had James and he was awesome!!!!!!! He was very practical and easy going. He called me out on all my faults and was very patient every step of the way. I also had a man named Ray who was very very patient and kind. He was not full of critiques but he made driving seem so fun and totally let me take control of the wheel (with his foot on the brake the whole time of course). Closing my review I would say this school was an overall 5/5 for me. Everyone was patient and kind I would definitely advise everyone to take an extra lesson an exact hour before there road test like myself! It worked wonders! I PASSED.
Kathleen Li
I passed my road test finally after 4 tries. Previously, I hadn't taken lessons and was a very nervous driver. The instructors here are really good and put you at ease. Kent especially helped me stay calm and was very funny. Bought their package of 10 lessons. It was worth it.
Adham El-Batal
Overall a good experience. I took a couple of lessons that helped me polish up my technique (after much practice with friends). The instructors are very friendly, very patient and easy to work with. And for the incredibly low rate for lessons, it's a steal.
For the road test, do expect to be crammed with 2-3 other people and to wait your turn for the road test. It does the job, but the road test is a little bit overpriced for that inconvenience.
Landie T
Luis and Kent was my Instructor. Luis was so polite. Kent was nice and funny. Before the road test starts Andrew told me all the additional information that I needed to know about the test. I passed my road test on my first try.
KoKo驾到
Best driving school ever! I didn't know how to drive before, but I learned it well and passed within just ONE WEEK with the coach KENT. He is so brilliant and patient, teaching me what the key points I need to notice. He taught me not only the skills how to passed the test, but also how to driving safely in the real life. Best teacher, best school!
Vignesh Veerapandian
I took my test through the City Auto School and they were very responsive with their services, although it was at the last minute. The driving instructor was very helpful and she was very good with the tips. Overall, it was a stress free experience.
Mandy Lee
This is a really good driving school, in driving class I learned a lot of the basics such as the hand signals and the rules of the road which has helped me while driving. The teachers are really helpful and take the time to teach you and give you feedback on what to improve on. My experience here is really good and I recommend this driving school to anyone!
Maria Holguiin
My experience was very good! After a couple classes, I was able to pass my road test on the first try. Very good instructors.
Quasaia Smith
I really recommend city auto driving school, they will really help you learn the safety rules of the road and help you perfect your driving skills . I am so happy with my results attending driving school helped me to accomplish getting my driver's license, what a great transition into the new year 2021 . I wish everyone luck and this is the best school to go to to learn how to drive .
Carl Good
Went to City auto school February/March of 2015 and was taught by multiple instructors which was wonderful if you asked me. 1 driver told me I was like a natural to the stuff he taught me. Another make it very clear that any mistakes I make will potentially cause me to fail, which stuck with me. I obtained my licence a month later. Between my last class and the test was about a 2 week gap which is amazing due to the fact that I passed on my first try. I do not regret coming here to learn , is like to think I'm the best driver out of all my friends , and I give credit to City Auto!
Apoorav Singh
Great instructors and will quickly schedule tests! Recommend taking the lessons
Alysee Wilder
I had a great experience. I tried many driving schools and city auto actually was patient with me I took numerous classes and then did package deal . My instructors were Raymond and Kent I specifically asked for them whenever I had class because they made me feel comfortable and I learned so much . The receptionist is always pleasant. I passed my road test and I’m extremely greatful and happy and brought my first car ! Thanks so much city auto
Colleen Dalton
City Auto is great and super affordable. I set out to get my license... at 27.. So needless to say, I needed alot of practice and even more patience, and the instructors at City Auto provided both. I appreciated that the school pairs you with different instructors throughout your lessons because each instructor has a different style and approach... . And I passed my road test on my first try last Friday! I definitely reccomend using thier car for the road test so you can practice in it. I also booked a lesson immediately before my test and I am so beyond happy I did -- if definetly helped me warm up and get comfortable for the test.
Lidia Guerra
This is a good driving school, they are very kind and they give good driving techniques. They don’t set you up to fail. I passed my road test the first time. They schedule your road test quick and I never had a problem with the school.
Sihang Cai
I would definitely recommend City Auto to friends. I scheduled a driving test with them, the lady who helped me was really nice and responsive. She also gave me many tips on the test day, which were tremendously helpful. I was able to pass the test the first time I took it. I didn't take any driving lessons with them, but my friends who did said they were great.
Jiawen
I have no experience of driving before taking lessons here. Instructors are nice and gave pretty helpful feedback. And I passed the road test on my first try after taking 11 lessons here.
Great experience!
Xin Gu
I recommend one of their instructors, LEON. He is really a good teacher for beginners, even those who have Driving Phobia.
Leon is very patient and considerate, he could understand your fear, so that he would never make you feel more nervous. He taught me little by little, and gave me lots of encouragement. After about 5 classes, I totally got rid of Driving Phobia, and even felt that driving is an interesting thing.
In addition, he is professional and reliable. During every class, he taught me many details and techniques which are not only useful for road test, but also crucial to daily driving.
Compared with instructors who taught my friends and my husband, Leon is definitely one of the most ideal teacher for you to choose, no matter you want to pass the road test or you just need to improve your driving skills.
Only one thing I'm not satisfied with, it is too difficult to make an appointment with him, because he is way too busy...
By the way, the instructor who took me to road test is a very good instructor, too. His name is Zhou, very nice and kind-hearted.
akshay adlakha
I took driving lessons with city auto school. Excellent quality service. Passed road test in 3 weeks from starting. Highly recommend.
George Kelley
This driving school was very supportive and they made sure that I was prepared for my road test. I was able to take the road test with them and felt comfortable the entire time.
Arkya Chatterjee
Super efficient, scheduled a road test in less than 3 weeks. Instructors (especially Andrew) provided helpful feedback and pointers on how to pass the road test.
Mariela Gómez

Sunil Bn
I recommend this school to those who are serious to learn driving. I took 10 classes with them and another one just before the test. Passed the road test in Braintree. This school is economical, Instructors are well educated and is Located near Broadway (redline). Ask for Eric or Raymond, they are excellent instructors. Overall, very good staff and school.
Denise Bailey-Castro
Ryan is a fabulous instructor and very patient. I was an extremely nervous driver but he worked with me and made me feel more comfortable. I was prepared for the road test and passed with Ryan's help. I have recommended him to friends and they have all agreed.
Huan Mi
I am so happy today, I passed my road test just for once. The teachers here are very nice. They are pretty serious and teach me how to drive step by step. The staffs here also very nice. They help me schedule every class and my road test. They help me save lots of time. I really appreciate their great help~
HY Zan
Teachers at the driving school were very patient! The lady at the reception took care of my road test registration and class arrangements so I didn’t need to worry about anything!
PS: If ur taking a road test, try to do it at the Watertown RMV because it’s the easiest one to pass.
Kelvin Chu
Good instructor with dual language teaching, patient and tech well, I just pass the road test wroth them.starting zero to pass within 2 weeks. Nice staff and easy to book for schedule. Great school near Broadway T
zihan wang
Passed on one time, the coach is very responsible, very nice!
fatih toy
I liked my experience about taking road test with the help of City Auto School. Sometimes it is really annoying to get this exam. I have two Driving Licenses one from my country, and one from Michigan but it was expired 8 years ago. I know how to drive but I failed at my first test, and I moved to another state. From other state it is really hard to get that exam but they help me a lot.They are really very friendly and helpful. I can trust them without hesitation. If you have some issues about Driving License I am sure they can figure out a way to help you.

My child has passed the road test today with flying colors! Thank you everyone from City Auto School! I have just received a follow-up phone call from the school to inform us about license and auto insurance procedures. They have really done a thorough job. Eric is a very patent instructor who has done a great job both in explaining and demonstrating everything from checking the blind spot to how to parallel park. MR. STANLEY is the BEST classroom instructor who has really driven home the importance of following the driving rules and obeying the law. My child's class of 6 students has the one of the highest average (somewhere above 90) that the school has ever recorded. More importantly, his home baked goods has really helped lighten up the week long classroom training session.
Paul Dooley
Hello, I am currently 18 years of age and had no drivers ed of sorts. Looking to get my license I called 4 places within the city to schedule a test ASAP. Every one had a minimum of 2 Weeks before I could take the test, except for City Auto. I was able to schedule my test within the week and had the option of a lesson before to give me an idea of what the test pertains to; hand signals, hill parking, etc. After taking the test (and passing!) I've come to the conclusion that I would have failed had I not taken the lesson before. Thanks to my man Louis and City Auto school I've gotten my license and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in driving.
George Yang
Front desk ladies are friendly and reminds appointment every time. Instructor Man is very experience and friendly, my wife took the package and passed the road test without problems. Highly recommended.
limin wang

The teachers are rich in experience and responsible.The staffs working in the office are very nice too. I always call to make a appointment for class.They did their best to provide us a satisfying service. Before taking my road test,they gave me a lot of useful advices.Now I got my driver license. All I want to say is thank you for everyone in this school. I would tell more friends about this great school.
Buchi Eziashi
The instructor was really good and patient after I failed my driving test twice, I decided to try out City Auto school did a road practice with them on Monday and on Tuesday went for my Road Test and I passed. Am so happy
Brandie R
I went to City Auto School with close to no driving experience. I purchased a package for lessons and a road test. I took 8 lessons and passed my road test today on the first try. Great school and great instructors.
Au'SHAY Chucuma
I called city auto right before my permit was expiring in a week. They had multiple open test dates as well as classes before then , I was able to practice with city auto right before taking the road test which was very helpful , they have the best advice as well as training and I passed with flying colors definitely recommend city auto to ANYONE who needs a driving school.
Ajinkya Taware
Good service and thorough driving lessons. They are also a great value for the money. There is really nothing to fault here. Worth the $240 i spent for 5 lessons and driving test, absolutely! Highly recommended.
Shalin Sitwala
I've had a pretty good experience with them. I wanted to be done with my driving license process/application ASAP! I took the online test at Boston RMV on a Wednesday.
Next week on Monday, after quite some research online and multiple phone calls to different driving schools, I finalized City Auto School. Went there on Monday to pay the Road Test fees (they accept only cash.) As I wanted it to be ASAP, I had to pay a little extra than their normal fees, but they got me the road test for that Thursday. Took 2 lessons with them the next day, the instructor tells you a lot of things, where you are going wrong in every situation. Side note, I have driven for quite some years in India, I took these lessons just to get familiarized with the rules here.
On the day of the Road Test, they called me to the driving school at 1 pm. The lady took us (me and some other students) to Dorchester for the road test. I was the first one to go, they make you do the usual things (3 point turn, parallel park, pull over) and if you know how to drive, it's pretty basic. Passed the test.
The lady dropped us back to the school.
Went to the RMV, paid the fees.
One week later, got the license in my mailbox.
Not knowing people who own a car and all the other hassle is saved if you go with them. Great for international students who want a driving license here. Tweet me @shalin99 if you've any questions.
aly Gonzalez
If you do more then 1 or two lessons you get different drivers with two different ways to teach you how to do things so you end up confused as to what to do. I also had a family emergency on the day of my lesson legit family member in hospital in a coma and was told she wasnt doing good as it just had happened I called and they told me I couldn't cancel the appointment because of there policy. So a family member could have possibly died and I had to go to the driving school. The receptionist had the nerve to ask me while I was there if I was going to take the lesson. What a dumb question.

Arniel Tejeda
This is one of the best driving schools ever !!! They are always flexible. I would recommend this to absolutely everyone, And if your wondering yes I did pass!!! Thanks to them !
Aazer Siddiqui
everyone here is friendly. probably the best driving school in the boston area -- you get a car, sponsor, and test within 2 weeks for $120, all you have to do is bring your permit. good whether or not you speak chinese. was able to pass my license test through them.
yafeng chen
I am student of City Auto School. I spent good time with my coach and my coachs are really nice. They help me a lot! Now I passed the road test! If you want to study driving , city auto school is good option.
Evelyn Hilario
Lewis and Kent are very good instructors! Would recommend getting lessons from both of them! If you’re road test is at Watertown good luck there rough😬 Brockton road test was pretty easy! Very nice examiners! …

cindy zhang
This school saved my life!! I didn't pass my road test for three times for some stupid reasons and ended up choosing this school for it's great reputation and it didn't let me downnn!! The instructor went through every details before the test and made sure I knows everything and I passed it perfect! This school will let you pass 100%!
Behram AGT
The tutor explains everything in detail, they are same with the road test routine and the habbit of each examiner. I passed the road test in second time. Thanks to Louis. He is the one of the patient and well-informed instructor I have met in City Auto.
Suveer P
The instructors are knowledgeable and tough (in a positive way). I highly recommend taking at least a couple of lessons with Eric before taking the road test. I could clear the road test without a second attempt.
Michael Terine
A really great place for driving lessons. The receptionists are extremely informative and kind. Louis is an incredible instructor; very helpful, patient, resourceful, and knowledgeable.

Great teachers. It helps to use this school in addition to practicing with others. A couple different teachers taught me different methods for parallel parking which was a little confusing but now that I practiced more on my own I realize all was sound advice. Passed the test!
Sai Ying Venus Yeung
Very good experience instructors.
They provide many road test "tips" to make you success.
Excellent services
Rey Plazaola
Took 6 classes and the road test price was good, always gave me a call to remind me when a class was coming up, and if the road test was cancelled was let know before hand. Would recommend 10/10
Shanae Lawson

Kareem Shaaban
I did my drivers ed back in February and at the beginning of march I went to do my road test, I passed on my first try and got my licence a week after from the rmv, it's now July of 2014 (about 4 months later) and I've graduated highschool and got my first car :) , I enjoy driving very much and it can be heavily expensive for a new driver to own a car..for example I'm paying about 1300 for insurance because I just got my own policy and I'm still young..keep in mind..1300 and that's just for 6 months..but my premium does go down as the more I drive.. Anyway about the school...it was a great classroom experience, also I want to mention when I did do my first driving lesson, I had Jonathan and he was byfar the worst Instructer I've has...he always yelled ate and told me I was doing it wrong and then he tried to persuade me to take more than 12 lessons and pay more because I wouldn't be ready for my road test ..anyway the next day I had another 2hr lesson and it was amazing, I actually felt like I was ready for the road, with messing up here and there alil bit I still felt as a confident driver...anyway by my 12th lesson I was ready..I even took a 13th lesson out my own pocket right before about 1 hr before my road test and did great..highly recommend paying 28 bucks for a lesson right before your road test to get some rust off you..anyway the experience was great. I forgot my favorite instructors name but he was the one teaching the class and one always wore like a big black jacket lol anyway great school, enjoyed the lessons and training and now I'm the driver I am because of them, thank you city auto school ..I've been meaning to do this review for soo long now because I promised myself I would do it if I got my license because of them lol 7/22/14 😄

酸酯双草
(Translation) The price is cheaper than the driving school in downtown, about 45$ per class. The lady at the front desk taught me to write checks very carefully. The coach is very enthusiastic, unlike some domestic coaches who scold people when they are not good at driving. I know that I have driven a car, so I deliberately speak faster, try to talk about as many key points as possible during the class, and let me practice by myself most of the time. All in all, a driving school worth signing up for.
(Original)
价格比downtown那家驾校便宜些,大约45$一节课。前台小姐姐很细心地教我写支票。教练非常热情,不像国内某些教练一开不好就骂人。知道我有开过车所以特意讲得比较快,争取在课时内尽量多讲些重点,大部分时间也让我自己上手练习。总之是非常值得签约的驾校。
Weiye Song
(Translation) The test is very fast, within a week, even three or four days. The coach who accompanies me during the exam (should be the beautiful boss of the driving school) is very nice! Before the test, the possible test routes and precautions were explained in detail, and I was told not to be nervous. During the exam, she has been chatting with the examiner, and the examiner has been in a good mood. It made me pass the exam very smoothly. This is all the credit of the coach. It is strongly recommended to choose this beautiful boss in the driving school to accompany the exam. The appointment of the appointed coach should be 120 , But great value for money.
(Original)
约考速度特别快,一周内,甚至三四天即可。我考试时候的陪考教练(应该是驾校的美女老总)非常nice!开考前详细地讲解了可能的考试路线和注意事项,叮嘱不要紧张。考试的时候,她一直和考官聊天,考官心情一直大好,让我非常顺利地通过考试,这全是教练的功劳呀,强烈建议在这个驾校选择这个美女老总陪考试,指定教练约考应该是120,但是物超所值。
彭馨慧
(Translation) Thank the Lord for finally passing the three battles today, and there are too many people to thank for too many words of thanks. I am a pregnant woman who is pregnant with Liujia. Originally, I had done a good job in another advertisement about a driving school appointment test, but the principal of a driving school lied to me that the test was successful, and it was scheduled for 5:30 in the morning on March 18th. . I was worried that I wouldn't be able to make an appointment the next morning, so I called the principal of a driving school to confirm it. I tried my best to practice timing for two weeks, but I called the day before the test and asked the coach to pick up the phone at the subway station the next morning, but he told me that I didn't make an appointment! And wait another half a month to make an appointment! Emotions, I have timed out! Later, I heard that the city driving school appointment test is fast, thank the city driving school for helping me successfully make three test appointments within a week. The first time I forgot to put down the handbrake because I was too nervous and died at the starting point. The second time I was so nervous that I didn’t see the road on the right of the wide isolation belt when I went straight, so I drove straight ahead, but if I went straight, there was a traffic coming in the opposite direction, before driving in the opposite direction. The intersection was braked by the examiner. Then I made an appointment. I originally had an appointment on Friday, but I didn’t expect that one of the candidates would not take the test on Wednesday. The driving school knew that the examiner in the In Dorchester examination room had a high pass rate on Wednesday, so they called me specially because I was pregnant and asked me to take the test on Wednesday. , as a result, the car reversed in a straight line twice, the first time was too far from the shoulder of the road, and the second time was too close to the shoulder of the road. The boy who took the test in front of me also adjusted the parallel car several times. I thought it also failed, but the examiner was so kind that we both passed it. Thanks again to the driving school for making the test appointment so quickly, thanks to coach Yu for her careful teaching, thanks to the female coach who took me to the test for helping me make the test appointment, taking me to the test and helping me with translation, and always emphasizing the precautions for the test on the way to the test room, thank the Lord Let me meet so many good coaches and teachers in the city driving school, and help me meet good examiners in the test room with a high pass rate. Thanks again for the Lord's mercy to allow so many coincidences to happen to me. Glory to God!

感谢主今天三战终于通过了,感谢的人太多感谢的话太多。我是一个身怀六甲的准孕妇,本来我在另外一个广告做的很好的某驾校学车约考,结果某驾校校长骗我说约考成功了,定在了3月18号早上5:30。我担心约不上第二天早上还特意给某驾校校长打电话确认了一下。我拼命练计时两周,结果考试前一天我打电话问第二天早上在地铁站接站教练电话时,对方居然告诉我没约上!还有再等半个月才能约上!感情我计时都白练了!后来听说城市驾校约考快,感谢城市驾校一周内帮我成功约了三次考试。第一次由于太紧张忘记放下手刹车,死在了起点。第二次还是太紧张让直行时居然没有看见宽宽隔离带右边的路,让直行就直直的往前开,可直直行的话前面是反方向来车路啊,在开向反方向路之前的十字路口被考官踩刹车。接着约考,我本来约到周五,没想到周三有个考生不考了,驾校知道周三这个In Dorchester 考场考官好通过率高,看我是孕妇才特意给我打电话让我周三来参加考试,结果直线倒车倒了两次,第一次离路肩太远,第二次离路肩太近,心想完了定是挂了。我前面考试的那个男生平行趴车也调整了N多次,我以为也挂了,结果考官人心地太善良,居然让我俩都过了。再次感谢驾校约考这么快,感谢于教练细心的教导,感谢带我去考试的女教练帮我约考,带我去考试还帮我翻译,去考场的路上还一直强调考试注意事项,感谢主让我遇到城市驾校这么多好教练好老师,帮我约到通过率高的考场遇到好考官。再次感谢主的怜悯,让这么多巧合发生在我身上。荣耀归给神!
Sha Li
(Translation) The coach is good, the appointment is fast, and the test room selection is relatively easy. I passed the exam several times before. The experience is that if the road test fails, don't worry about making an appointment for the next exam. Practice more about the problems that arise in the exam. You can also find different coaches to gain experience, which may be useful to you.
(Original)
教练挺好,约考也很快,选的考场相对容易。我是考了好几次才通过,经验就是如果路试失败,不要着急约下一次考试,针对考试出现的问题多练习,也可以找不同的教练获取经验,不定哪个就正好对你有用。
