D & D Auto School

Money money money, that’s all they care about. «When is the available days to practice driving? «$ 32!!!» They don’t give you the full amount of time to practice driving. Money is always on their mind so if you’re willing to spend over $ 700 for this bullshit then go ahead. The only cool people there is the driver instructor, Wei he’s chill. David is willing to bring up other people personal information as an entertainment for others.

I went to this school and had a positive experience. I had a wonderful instructor named Danny and he taught me everything I know about how to drive safely on the road. I was really scared about driving around the busy streets on Boston, but Danny really knows what he is doing. I took about 10 hours worth of lessons and passed my road test in July on my first try. He will teach you how to parallel park and drive on high ways, which was nerve wrecking for me. He is very patient and will correct your mistakes on the spot! I think Danny is one of the best driving teachers there and I am so grateful I made the choice to go to this school. It is cash only, and sometimes it was hard to pay for the classes because the receptionist was not always there, but the driving lessons were worth it. I recommend giving this school a try because it worked for me. THANK YOU DANNY!

Terrible driving school. My sister took 1 lesson here just to practice. She had already registered for a road test with another school. D & D Auto actually called the RMV and canceled her test since we told them we used another school for the test (the RMV only requires your permit number to cancel the test)! We found out the day of the road test after reaching the center and upon doing some investigation. Stay away from this school!

I had bad experience with Another driving school so I decided to give this school a try. My instructor, Wei Choi Lau is the best! He made me a better driver. Every time I had lesson with him, he always made me practice parallel parking and other parts that I am struggling with. He often give me some suggestions on fixing those mistakes. And today during my road test, two to four hours before the road test starts, he made me practice and get used of the test site so that I will get a feel of the place.
I would recommend everyone to go to this school if you want to be a good driver!

Stay away from D&D this shit!
I don’t wanna point this out, but I’m so angry about this!
All they want is MONEY!
No responsibly at all!!!‘
This is so bad!

This is the worst place ever. They purposely fail you so that you have to go back. Never EVER go. I had asked the teacher to teach me how to parallel park, but rather, they insisted on driving around for the better part of the lesson. This was all before my driving test, too! Terrible place. I hated every moment of it.

I had no driving experience what so ever before D&D. I was sixteen at the time, with zero knowledge of cars. David was tough on me, he yelled at me when I was making mistakes and I fixed them. If you do not like being yelled at, do not get David. He turned me into a driver, and the day of the road test I did everything just like he taught me. I got my license at 16 because of David. If you didn’t pass the road test, it is simply because you can’t drive but David is a great instructor.

STAY AWAY! They illegally use your information to retaliate!
So I finally got my refund after threatening to sue them. They actually told me «we are running a business to make money you know?» I was stunned. I mean yes make money but don’t rip me off for lessons YOU didn’t give. But it gets worse.
I booked my road test by myself online. I let them know earlier the date so I can reserve a sponsor. After that I hadn’t gone to the rmv website until recently since my road test was coming up. When I couldn’t find my scheduled appointment I called the Rmv directly to ask what happened. The RMV told me someone canceled for me on Nov 5… If I didn’t do it, the only other place that has my permit number, name, date of birth, is this driving school. And would you know? The date of the cancellation? The day I asked for a refund for my lessons.
I never told them to cancel my road test. They had no legal right to call and cancel on my behalf. They did this illegally using my information wo my knowledge or consent.
Stay away.

Want to pass the road test? Go to another school.
I went to this school for a road test since I could not get one from RMV myself. I heard that driving schools have some sort of connection which can make an appointment faster.
I went there at the end of September to get the road test appointment with them. The woman was on the phone and did not hang up until 5 minutes later. She was nice though. It cost me $ 108 and yes, cash only. She asked what my schedule was like and told me that she would get back to me in a week.
Two weeks had gone by and no one called me. I called her and was informed that the road test appointment will be Nov. 5^th which conflicted with the schedule I had given them. Luckily, I was able to adjust my schedule to fit it in. I had to get to the school at 8:30 am and they would drive me to the test center.
I got there at 8:25 am. I was the first person to show up followed by two Chinese girls and an African American girl. The Chinese instructor from the school took the 4 of us out without telling (at least) me and the African American girl what we were going to do. He just told us to put our purses in the trunk and let one of the Chinese girls drive.
They talked in Chinese THE WHOLE TIME!
The Chinese girl ended up practice driving in the parking lot behind the school for 30 mins. The instructor asked us, who were sitting in the back, from time to time if we knew the hand signals, how to parallel parking and do a three-​point turn. The instructor seemed to be knowledgeable. Then, we took off to the gas station and then drove around that area.
At 9:30, the first girl drove us to Cambridge and we made another stop at the gas station. The Chinese instructor let that Chinese girl practice parallel parking and the three-​point turn again and again in that area. Around 10:15, the African American girl and I were still in the backseat hoping that we would be able to take the test anytime soon. But no, the instructor let the other Chinese girl drive for 20 mins and left the African African girl and I behind. Then, he stopped and went out to smoke and told us that we were going to take the test.
Finally at 10:45, after sitting in the back of the car doing nothing but listening to them talking in Chinese for two hours, he took us to the road test center in Cambridge. He did not let me drive the car before the test.
The three of us who took the test failed. This included the Chinese girl who drove the entire morning, the African American girl who had 7 years of driving experience and me with 9 years of driving experience. The Chinese instructor even talked to the RMV examiner that I was good. Then I failed. The last Chinese girl did not even have a chance to have the test. It looked like this school has very «good relationship» with the RMV people.
After that, he drove all of us back to China Town without having a word to me or the African American girl. He just talked to his Chinese students all the way from the road test center to China Town. I asked what was going on but no one talked to me.
When he got out of the car, he said «If you want to make an appointment for the road test again, go to the school».
Hell NO!

my skill was ground zero and now i am pretty comfortable driving around. all thanks to D&D. i had about 10 lessons (i need all these because of my poor skill, ha ha) and just passed my road test today :)
thank you teacher tong! i think he is one of the best driving teacher.
he told me some many important points and those are all really helpful to get me pass the test.
few tips to make your experience better at this driving school.
you will need to be there in person to make appointment.
paid in cash. (so, you can’t make appointment over the phone)
and when you show up for the first appointment set up, bring all the permit and the $$.
once again, a big thank you to teacher tong :)

I actually already have a driving license, but since I only drove in a car 10 or so times after I got it and then haven’t driven or even thought about driving for over a year, I thought that it would be better to get a refresher lesson or two before I subjected the people of Boston to my driving.
I had 2 lessons with Kin Sun Lau — the first lesson was 45 minutes long and the second lesson was 1.5 hours (two lessons back to back). He helped me feel really comfortable and safe behind the wheel from the very start. During the first lesson, we mostly drove around Boston — around the South Boston/​Chinatown area. During the second (longer) lesson, I practiced driving on the highway by taking 93 down to Quincy. I also practiced parallel parking — on an empty road AND between two actual cars (!), parking lot parking, and putting in gas (hey! I’ve never had to before!).
I had a great experience there and would recommend it to all of my friends! Just some basic info:
— The lessons are $ 32 for 45 minutes on weekdays; on weekends, you *have* to sign up for two lessons back to back (i.e. $ 64 for 1.5 hours)
— They only accept cash
— You can’t schedule appointments over the phone; you have to go down there in person
