My daughter asked on Lockportians for a recommendation for a driving school. Cordaro Driving School came highly recommended. I would like to say although at one point he may have been great that is no longer the case. I work in customer service so you can understand that I do realize how it can be. Here are the issues we had with him: 1) Cordaro doubled booked lessons 2 times out of 16(booking a lesson at the same time as a students road test). 2) Cordaro didn't show or text/call to notify my daughter he wasn't going to be able to keep the lesson 4 out of 16 lessons. 3) Cordaro consistently asked to reschedule lessons multiple times in the day of a lesson. And consistently ran 20 minutes late on top of that. 4) When asked why the above was happening, Cordaro's response was "I don't know what's going on with me ". I suggested using his calendar on his phone. 5) Cordaro was consistently making phone calls while trying to instruct causing distractions. 6) Cordaro pushed my daughter to schedule her road test without having taught her the more difficult things like parallel parking, and K turns and never took her driving on the expressway as promised. 7) When asked why the difficult things had not been told yet, Cordaro responded "I do this for a living" . I believe Parallel parking and 3 point turns are essential things to learn and feel comfortable doing before scheduling a road test. My daughter did recieve all 16 lessons and pass her road test on her first attempt. I am posting this so you know how what to expect if you choose to do business with him. Read More

Los reviews recientes en su página de Google no reflejan mi experiencia; muchos parecen poco confiables o pagados. Para mí, ESTO HA SIDO UNA ESTAFA. Si no quieres perder dinero, NO LLAMES AQUÍ. Después de los cambios recientes en las leyes, el local donde operaban cerró sin dar ninguna explicación. Muchas personas —incluyéndonos a nosotros— quedamos sin respuestas y sin saber qué pasó con el dinero pagado. Hice mi propia investigación para saber quién era el dueño de la escuela. La persona con la que hablé me dijo que ahora supuestamente operan de manera “virtual”, pero cuando mi esposo llamó para saber cuándo podría continuar con sus prácticas de manejo, jamás le contestaron y hasta lo bloquearon de la aplicación. Intenté comunicarme nuevamente y también me bloquearon, a pesar de que ya habíamos pagado el curso completo. Sé que otras personas están pasando por situaciones similares. Comparto mi experiencia para que no borren este review y para que otros sepan lo que nos pasó. Aun así, siguen pagando publicidad en redes sociales. Los nombres que se nos dieron como responsables fueron: Evelyn Espada (secretaria), Victor Caputis (dueño) y Robert Cruz (segundo dueño). Read More

My grandson went to the Dunkirk location. His whole experience was amazing. I sadly don’t know his in car driving instructors name but he was so kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them! Read More

Great instructors, great learning environment, just the best school Read More

I worked with Kevin from JLW Auto School. I am an older person who had a license for 10 years but let it expire 25 years ago. From day one, when I started with Kevin in September 2025, he treated me with respect and kindness. He also pushed me to do my best and to practice. He saw right off that I had remembered much of what I used to know, so he used that to teach me the intricacies of driving, not just enough to pass the test. I spent 2.5 months practicing with Kevin, having weekly sessions. He even did 2x a week as I got closer to my scheduled road test. And JLW did all the work for me to schedule the road test, which I appreciated. The only drawback: I could not take the test in the same JLW car I had been practicing in. If there was a way for me to practice, even just a few times, in the car I would take the test in, it would have been appreciated. But in the end, I passed with flying colors. I recommend both JLW and definitely, have Kevin as your driving instructor. Thank you! Read More

Thank you miss Janice for helping me to pass my test . I would highly recommend this school if you need driving classes Read More

If I could give them negative stars I would. Students are required to schedule seven drives through Rhode’s online scheduling website. Unfortunately, my experience over the last five weeks with this company has been nothing short of a nightmare. After signing up and waiting for the office to “approve” my account, I finally logged in to schedule my daughter’s first drive, only to find nothing available. I was told to check the site every day until something opened up. A week later, I learned the first drive couldn’t even be booked online and had to be scheduled manually. That would’ve been helpful to know upfront. After her first lesson, I was told by Celeste to check back that Friday to book the next drive. Again, wrong. No openings, no clickable links. Then I was told drives must be 28 days apart, another key detail never mentioned before. Even after waiting the full 28 days, there was still no availability. My husband called on a Tuesday and was told the schedule would open at 3 PM Wednesday. I checked first thing Thursday morning, still nothing. When I called again, Celeste told me I needed to log in three times a day for several days each week just to catch a spot before it filled up. She said the system generates sessions randomly, there’s no rhyme or reason to it, and there’s nothing the office can do. When I spoke to a so-called “manager” Meghan, she repeated the same excuses. When I voiced my frustration about being given conflicting information and an inefficient system to work with, she accused me of not understanding their process, used inappropriate and insulting language, spoke over me and refused to have any accountability. I ended the call as it wasn't going anywhere only for her to call back and leave a voicemail informing me that she canceled my daughter’s upcoming drive and contract entirely, ultimately not fulfilling their end of the agreement. My daughter also reported the vehicle she drove in with an instructor was falling apart, having to use the high beams the entire drive since the low beams were out, talking the entire drive and not paying attention to the students in the vehicle. This is, without question, the most unprofessional, incompetent, disorganized, and disrespectful company I’ve ever dealt with. They refuse to hold themselves accountable for any wrong doing and treat paying customers like garbage. Teaching your child to drive on your own will feel like cupcakes and rainbows compared to the chaos and dysfunction of Rhodes Driving School. Read More

Extremely disappointed with Rocky Road Driving School. My son finished his coursework and we discovered there were no instructors available and a long waiting list for drives. When I called to express concern, I was told there was “nothing they could do.” Only weeks later did I learn I could get a refund and use another school — something that was never offered when I first called. I found another driving school that scheduled him within four days! Poor communication, no accountability, and zero customer service. Families deserve better than this. Read More
