Echelon Driving School

great teachers and great cars for learning how to drive
all my kids have been taught by Echelon
all my brothers and sisters were also taught by Echelon
they have been around a long time and they aren't the school teachers that would be a conflict of interest wouldn't it

Fair pricing all around! Cannot go wrong with these guys - New Jersey's best - they serve most of the state.

My 16 year old daughter took lessons from this place. Her Father signed her up for this course, as well as paid for the lessons. The instructor that showed up (came on a day he wasn't scheduled to come and claimed he "left a message with someone") was about 75 years old. Right away, my daughter was uncomfortable. We figured we'd give it a try. According to my daughter, this "instructor" made her drive all the way from Trenton to Belmar (on Interstate 95) and then proceeded to fall asleep while she was driving! This was her first lesson! I really wish she would have told me this right away instead of waiting until the 6 hrs were completed. My daughter is still quite nervous and is in NO WAY ready to take her road test next month. I have been working with her as well to help build her skills and confidence. I called the driving school to let them know how unhappy we were with their service and was told "They were sorry to hear that but I could sign her up for another class - at MY COST of $55 per hour" and "Just because we were not happy with the instructor doesn't qualify us for any free lessons". I really wish that my ex had researched this place prior to setting our daughter up for lessons. Very unhappy with the service and would NOT recommend this place to anyone.
