I took a few classes at this school and passed my license on the first try. My instructor was Alex(Peter) and he was very helpful and kind. Without him I wouldn’t have learned how to drive. I didn’t expect to learn so quickly! I took a short review class with Kevin 2 days before my road test and he was also very kind and helpful. They make you feel safe & confident while driving and that’s coming from somebody with severe anxiety. You can tell they care and want you to pass. I would recommend this place to anybody and I highly suggest you take classes with Alex you’ll learn everything you need to know and he actually made it a fun experience that I’ll never forget :) thank you for all the help

I took the test today. It was pouring out but I failed because I went too slow and Turning too slow. I read in the book that in inclement weather ,I should drive slower so I did. But I failed for that.Also, during the test, the examiner and the sponsor went on talking about their dentist’s son who had committed suicide and his absentee mother. It was so distracting.

They are friendly and professional. However, my son did not learn well from the school. He did not learn how to adjust a driver seat properly among other things. I will say that the worst part of this school is the private examinations that they sell, implying that it is easier to pass the license test on familiar grounds etc. However, the examiners they used are tough and not nicer to the students than the RMV despite the extra money they make. We failed twice here, and were not treated nicely by the RMV examiners.

I’ve always been very nervous driving so I decided to come to Chelmsford auto school for some road lessons after a coworker recommended them to me. My instructor is Peter Flynn and he is AMAZING! He makes you feel comfortable, safe, and makes it a fun experience. After only a few lessons with him I’m already feeling much more confident! Highly recommend this auto school and especially Peter as an instructor!!

Chelmsford Auto were excellent! My son was with another driving school but with Covid they were not able to schedule any lessons for my son to complete his driving. I called Chelmsford Auto and Kevin explained the process and was happy to take my son as a student. His instructor Marty was great and showed him how to be a good safe driver. Thank you everyone at Chelmsford Auto.

The drivers ed course was more reasonably priced, but my teacher put in no effort and didnt teach well at all. She didnt give us nearly enough time to take notes and didnt go over the important details enough, so I was unprepared for my permit exam.

Definitely over priced. They should not have to pay 120 both times and tell you instead of explaining what is wrong. For that price when coming from a less than affluent household you could at least throw in some pointers and helpful information. From what I heard they only pass students there very poor for business will not recommend to anyone unless you can afford the school.

I never really rate and review places but I had a driving lesson here with a great employee named Caleb, A great guy that made the driving a lot more fun, he helped me out with the things I needed help on for my upcoming road test and helped me out a lot on the parallel parking which I was nervous about but he helped me out and showed me his way and I feel a lot more comfortable now with the parallel parking. Thanks!!

My daughters driving test was coming up, she was very nervous and her driving reflected that. We scheduled a pre-test drive a few days prior to her actual test. Afterwards, her driving instructor, Marty, very gently told her that she was a fine driver but that her lack of confidence in herself might be her downfall, and he was right.A few days later she passed her test. She said she recalled the pep talk that Marty gave her during the pre-test, as well as right before taking the actual driving test. I appreciate that he took the time to give her his professional advice.I think all of the staff at Chelmsford Auto School are good and really do want the kids to succeed.. They go out of their way for both the parents and the kids and Id recommend them.

I had a wonderful experience with their services and I was fortunate enough to have the same instructor for all 3 lessons as well as my driving test. Their services is well worth the price because they do an extraordinary job. Marty was great, he was encouraging, he was very informative, and he just did everything within his power to ensure that I was ready to go. I am grateful and I’m more than happy I had him guiding me through the whole process. So thank you very much for helping me pass my test and I would definitely recommend them 100% of the time!

I had driving lessons with them, and the instructors were very nice and patient. Im thankful for the owner, Marty, because he sponsored me during my road test, which I just recently passed. Overall, they were very helpful; I am very satisfied with the service they gave me.

As a student taking the class, I think it was amazing in both the classes and the lessons on the road. My Instructor was really nice and the road lesson was very enjoyable and I did not feel uncomfortable driving. Feel like it was an amazing service also because i was able to do my lessons and driving hours all done in a month. Amazing Service.

I usually never rate companies through yelp but this place deserves the best of the best. I had one of the best instructors in this place, Mr. Enis. He was always calm through all my lessons and made me comfortable on the wheel. I was well prepared for my driving exam and I definitely recommend anyone who wants to learn how to drive to go here!

Do not go here for your road test unless you are a student there. I took a road test twice there and failed both times. I am using my wifes account to write this. I am an immigrant and felt personally judged for this by the woman who was testing me. Both times I took the exam there were younger girls in front of me who failed at answering basic questions like the proper hand signals. The girl that went in front of me this time failed parallel parking, asked to do it again, and was given this, and proceeded to pass. I did everything correctly except forget to once look over my shoulder for incoming traffic and used my mirrors too much but successfully did each move she asked me to do. When I went only a few inches over the line and asked for a do over I was not given one. I feel the tests were not fair whatsoever. Why the girl was given more chances and failed at knowing what the hand signals are and still passed is beyond me. If you are an immigrant I strongly recommend not going here as I feel personally targeted by this woman who clearly had something against me. When I mentioned this to the person in the office they appears surprised that I didnt pass either. But simply said Im sorry it didnt work out. I feel very defeated by this whole process and cannot believe this is the kind of business done at this school.

This place is awesome!! Everyone is great and extremely helpful if you have any questions. I learned so much in class and on the road and was very prepared for my license test. The instructors are all great and easy to talk to when on a road lesson.

I do not recommend this place. My daughter is 2 road lessons away from completing the required amount and they keep blowing her off. There has been 3 no shows where they were suppose to pick her up at the high school and they never showed. She ended up missing her bus and I had to leave work to pick her up. Another time they showed up only to give her a ride home saying they were double booked. I have asked to speak to a manager who is never there. Left messages for manager to never get a call back. I am at a complete loss since they are not showing up for appointments. My next step is to file a BBB complaint.

Get some new driving instructors who teach the students to go the speed limit. I just got stuck behind a student going 15 mph in a 40 mph zone all the way from Pepperell to Westford. Not one of the posted speeds was below 30 mph. The person held up traffic for nearly 15 miles.

SPEND YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE BETTER!! This business screwed me over several times. Three of my road lesson were cancelled. it wouldve alright had it not been mere seconds before they were supposed to pick me up. I called 3 times a day for a week trying to confirm my road test and they never answered. When i called the day before my test was scheduled to happen they told me i wasnt on the list. The MANAGER, Jay, was no help when i called. not to mention i was told that i would be personally added to the list two week prior and now they have me scheduled for 2 months later. They are the epitome of a bad business. DONT USE THEM!!!!

My experience at Chelmsford Auto School exceeded my expectations. All of the instructors are extremely nice and provide many useful tips, even after my first lesson I had already gained soo much confidence! Thanks to them, I was able to pass my license test on the first try. I absolutely reccomend choosing this auto school, you definitely won’t regret it!

Review №27

I had my road test cancelled, pushed back and moved to ridiculous days with little to no notice! On roads lessons were okay.. The biggest thing this auto School should do is take their kids more through the town of Chelmsford than anything else to get used to the roads. I failed for something so unbelievably stupid. If you dont know the roads of Chelmsford.. you wont pass. Period!

Poor co-ordination with RMV and lack of communication with customer to inform changes in schedule. My road test was re-scheduled 3 times in a row and every time that happened, they failed to call up and inform me and I had to find out by calling them multiple times. They dont have a working email ID. The car that they have for road test has a spring projecting out of the break pedal for instructor control that obstructs the foot contact and makes for a uncomfortable driving experience.

I dont have a lot of experience with them cause I just needed them for a car + sponsor for the road test.The provided car was fine, the instructor was really helpful: he briefly listed the main tasks for the road test and how to do them (I never had road lessons in Mass before). I also drove that car from my home to RMV and got some reasonable advices. This friendly, comfortable environment played a great role - approaching RMV I wasnt nervous and was able to think and remember all the hints. 4* - because they came for pick-up a little bit late than it was agreed.

Took a road test lesson and took the road test at the school. The instructor said I am comfortable with driving and OK with a road test. But when I took the test, the examiner said I was driving too slow and not look. I did look at both sides every time I took a turn. I did parelell parking well and three point turn well. Its the same with the test you took at RMV, dont spent your 100 buck here.

Horrible experience. Was rescheduled twice due to their incapability to schedule times while the registry was open. Was told to pay a fee to get it rescheduled. Then their next available time was another month away. Will not go here or promote this place. If you want to get your license this is not the place to do it.

My daughter just walked in the door crying saying she never wants to drive again because the guy demeaned her so much. He was an older guy who had an accent and he was cruel and obviously is horrible at his job. My daughter has been driving for six months, this was her second to last lesson. My husband and I both feel she has good judgement and is a safe, thoughtful defensive driver. There is no excuse for people like this to be in any type of contact with our youth. We paid $595 to this school and since this guy works there, I would choose anyone but them.

Horrible. The people that answer the phone are clueless. They cancelled the road test a thousand times and pushed it back to a tuesday night at 7?? It has been months of this! That is ridiculous! Worst auto school ever. I hope they see everyone’s reviews! My older daughter went to Nashoba, and it was awesome. Got her license on time. My younger one just signed up with a friend who was taking driver’s ed here, but clearly it was a BIG mistake! The rest of my kids will be going to nashoba!!
