New Bens Driving School

The staff are very professional and helpful. They have a good system to remind you of classes schedule. The price is quite reasonable and the teacher I had (Frank) was very patient and gave me enough instructions in five lessons to pass the road test. I did the classes in a month and practiced with my own car after the third class. I had a great experience with them!

Great value. Only spend like ~$ 350 in total on lessons and passed the road test in one go!!! Definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for value, 90 min lesson for just $ 35 each. Also, this is one of the Flushing places who actually have people who work in the office that speak fluent English. I really recommend Sing as an instructor, he’s very casual, personable, and shows you good techniques to pass.

They helped me pass my driving exam on the first try so that’s a plus. Johnny was my instructor and he was very patient and kind. He speaks English just fine but others might have a tough time understanding. The office kept me posted on my appointments and had helpful reminders about my exam. Their only drawback was that the car I used for my lessons was pretty old so I highly recommend having a modern car for practicing outside of the lessons.

I came here when I was 18 and I’d failed my first road test (I took classes at another driving school). This school was highly recommended by my friends. So I decided to give it a try. After taking about 5 – 7 classes with Johnson, my instructor, I finally passed my road test.
9 years later, which is now… I came back here again to take more classes b/​c I stopped driving after my test and needed to refresh my memories. Unfortunately Johnson doesn’t work there anymore– he opened up his own driving school. My new instructor, Tom, is pretty cool. He’s knowledgeable, nice, and easy to talk to. He’s one of the few instructors that has the actually license to teach driving classes.
This school is awesome in my eyes. They’re so flexible with your schedule and the packages are decent price. Instructors are multilingual. They can speak either Mandarin, Cantonese, and English.

This summer I’ve been trying to work on getting my license. I learned how to drive with my dad so I wasn’t really a beginner, I just needed to review for my road test coming up late August. The rates here are hard to beat. There’s another school (Ten-​Ten Driving) that also charges $ 35 for a 90 minute lesson (which is really really cheap) but they didn’t have any openings until September and that would be after my road test.
So I walk around the block and found this place, for the same price and they let me schedule a lesson as early as the next day. My sister and I both scheduled lessons. The instructor came on time and was very welcoming. He asked me a few questions about my driving experience and then explained what he was going to do in today’s lesson. He drove a few minutes to streets with less traffic, and then let me get on the driver’s side. He was extremely helpful throughout, was friendly, and also funny. He told me the dos and donts of the road test. Although I knew how to parallel park already, he showed me an easier and quicker technique.
My sister is pretty much learning as a beginner, she took lessons in the past long time ago but forgot and the other instructor sucked. So far she’s had 2 lessons and is already doing great.
PROS:
1. Price can’t be beat, only $ 35 for a 90 minute lesson. Packages are even cheaper.
2. Appointment availability: Even the most expensive schools in the area were super busy for the summer schedule and did not have available appointments.
3. Friendly and helpful instructors. They are very patient and explain things well.
CONS:
1. There aren’t really much but to keep this post informative, I should warn that the instructors did have accents. My sister had a different instructor and his accent is very thick. You’ll still be able to understand him but it takes a second.
2. Although its 90 minutes, the lesson last roughly 75 – 85 minutes. Not too much a big deal but just saying.
We’re taking our tests August 30^th! We’ll let you know how it goes.
UPDATE: We both passed, just forgot to post!

The prices are reasonable. I had taking three lessons at this driving school and did very well on them all but paid on extra one to get my last fix ups on driving. I drove in the past but never did any parallel parking nor U-​turns. Since I started at this school I had lessons with an instructor named Jason. He was a good instructor I like the way he taught me and showed me the ropes of passing my road test on the first try. I just need to work on my braking, I got a heavy foot but I definitely pass thanks to the instructor Jason. If you had drove before but need to get more lessons I do recommend this school because you just have to put effort into what you want and just put your mind to it.

This place might bit a pricier than others. But I had a great learning experience from Sunny. He only spoke mainly Cantonese. He drove to our houses to pick us up. Save me a bus trip from going to Flushing. My sister who also had Sunny as an instructor passed on her first try. Though, I don’t if he is still there…
Earlier on, my friend and I went to Chinatown to take lessons and both subsequently failed. Then we came here to take a 4 lesson package as a review of some sort. We both passed the 2^nd time around!
I believe that is costs $ 30 for 1.5 hour lesson? Don’t quote me.

They have instructors who speak English, Mandarin or Cantonese. Their prices are hard to beat. 5 lessons (90 minutes each) costs only $ 220. This includes the 5 hour movie and cert, registration for the road test, and the car rental for the day of the test.
