Testimonials

This is hands down the best driving school in New Jersey !! After failing my first road test, I am so happy and grateful I found them! Marybeth was awesome from the first phone call, she took me for an hour of practice before the test and helped me with some great tips and advice that allowed me to be more confident and ready for my test. I passed my road test earlier today and I could not have done it without Marybeth !! Thank you SJ Driving school you guys are definitely the best

My son's driving instructor was excellent! She was patient, joyful and she encouraged my son so much on his practice run. I am so glad that I had this company for my son! I can't wait for my 15 year old son to use this company when it's his time to take the test. Mary Beth, the owner, who was my sons instructor is the best ever! The spirit of excellence is upon this company!💕

Had a wonderful experience with this school, Mary Beth and George were super patient and thorough, extremely friendly and supportive. They helped me gain my confidence and I passed on the first try thanks to them! Finally being Independent is awesome!!! The personnel at the office were very courteous as well. Can’t thank them enough! Highly recommend this school!

I am so glad that I chose this driving school. Mary Beth was amazing. I was going to cancel Because I was nervous and she called back to ease my mind. She was very knowledgeable and very helpful.I passed my test and I couldn't be more grateful for her. This woman didn't even know me but was so excited for me when I passed. Which meant more to me than she could ever understand. My godmother was supposed to be with me the day I finally got my license and she passed away. It was a Bittersweet day for me. You can tell that she loves what she does. it truly shows! Thank you!

Great service!! Very polite people over the phone. Marybeth who accompanied me on the day of my test and she helped me a lot with incredible tips that helped me pass my test! Thank you very much and I will definitely recommend it to everyone!

I had the honor of having Tom and Brian as my driving instructors and they were both phenomenal in their own way. I just want to personally thank them both because if it wasn’t for them or the South Jersey Driving School I would have not received my license a few days ago. What being said, I recommend everyone to try this Driving School out because you won’t be disappointed. If your like me and was discouraged and never thought you would get your license, don’t give up but instead give them a call and book a lesson as they’ll make you feel confident and have courage behind the wheel!!

Just passed my test at Delanco DMV, I used their rental and practice before test services and it was the best decision i’ve made. My teacher was a man named Tony, he’s the owner I believe. The greatest teacher you can have. Great person.. I highly recommend, thank you !!

I took stick lessons with Tony and he was amazing! So patient with me and incredibly knowledgeable! If you’re interested in learning how to drive a manual car, definitely take lessons here!

Staff is awesome! Well organized and wonderful to work with. So happy we went with this driving school. Thank you to Brian and everyone at SJ Driving School!

I wish I could give this company more than 5 stars. Everyone was wonderful to deal with but MaryBeth went above and beyond to help my son on the day of his driving test. She gave him last minute tips and calmed his nerves. I cannot say enough good things. MaryBeth was professional, patient, helpful and most of all kind. It is hard to find good customer service anymore, but South Jersey Driving School goes the extra mile. I would highly recommend them for any driving needs.

My 16 year old son had a great experience driving with South jersey driving school. The instructors really made him feel comfortable behind the wheel. He is typically shy and yet with each instructor he had, they each had a way of making him feel more at ease. His first lesson which was the one he was most nervous with, was with Matt and he really made an instant connection with my son with lacrosse. My many thanks to Matt, Mark, and Tom. The commitment and patience you have are outstanding. Thank you for the time you spent with my son teaching him to be more confident and comfortable behind the wheel.

" I just wanted to extend my thanks to your entire team. Taking a a new driver and providing her the confidence to gain a little more independence was because of your dedication to helping young people. Our house is beyond excited for Megan's adventures to begin with her license. We will be in touch in about three years for our son. "   Mary Ellen Panter, Mother of Megan Panter of Medford

I met with Tony for a refresher on manual transmission. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun to learn from. He knew the area well, and had a solid plan of action to address the things I needed to work on. Worth every penny.

Everyone who works at this driving school is truly amazing and very helpful!!! I felt like I knew the employees, owner and the driving instructors for so long. Although, I took my road test today while COVID-19 is still happening, I am very happy that I was able to pass and get my license. Highly recommend this driving school and they are very flexible with work and school schedules!! THANK YOUUUU TONY, MARYBETH, MIKE, CHUCK AND GEORGE ESPECIALLY WITH PARALLEL PARKING!

I learned to drive stick shift from Tony! I had a very good experience! He taught me everything I need to know and I felt confident my very first time as he explained everything. I Highly recommend South Jersey Driving School.

I am so happy to have placed my trust with South Jersey driving school. After being so nervous on the road, my fabulous instructor Chuck was kind, patient, and talked me through all my turns! Cannot say enough good things about this school. If you’re unsure of where to go for driving, look no further!

Can't say enough good things about SJDS. The office staff is extremely pleasant and very professional (especially Siena). So friendly and truly helpful. Our oldest daughter just passed her road test today and the teachings of the instructors was highly instrumental. Highly recommend the refresher course just before the road test. We have two other daughters who will need drivers education in the near future and South Jersey Driving School is the CLEAR choice for a parent to feel not only comfortable with the education their child is receiving but also that your money (which is highly reasonable) is being well spent.   Father of Victoria

It was a great experience driving with Tony for a manual lesson! He is patient and calm even when you mess up a bit. It was a experience great to learn manual on actual roads rather than a parking lot and even got fun facts around the towns we drove through. I would recommend him infinite times!

Our experience with South Jersey Driving School was excellent. My son took the class, passed the test, and quickly moved on to the driving portion of the program and the entire process was smooth. Tom was my son's driving instructor and he was awesome! He was calm, casual, yet specific with my son on teaching him the skills he needed to get his permit. He went above and beyond to put my son into various different situations to teach him how to handle himself and the car. My son is a great driver because of Tom and we can't thank him and South Jersey Driving School enough!   Mother of Chase

I wanted to write and express how thankful I am that my son, Ryan, had his first driving experience at your school. I am aware how challenging it can be having a child with Autism embark on something as new and important as driving. You embraced Ry and our family from the first moment of contact. We felt welcomed and accepted. Ry felt safe and confident working with Charlie, George and Matt. They provided a wonderful experience with incredible support for Ry. We are definitely signing Ry up for the review class before he takes his road test! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We are happy and grateful we chose your driving school.

I must give a huge Thank You to MaryBeth and Tony Caracci, of SJDS, for their excellent teaching and servicing as Kiera learned to drive. Hands down the most thorough and informative process I’ve ever experienced.

Thank you for sending the instructor, Matt.  He was on time, on point and most of all my son was very comfortable with him. Just wanted to give you a review on Matt. He was very personable, understanding, knowledgeable, well trained, in uniform, informative and answer all your questions with ease and assurance. So, I just wanted to let you know my take on your instructors and will spread the word around.

“Words can’t thank you enough! Connor did it! He got his license! Your refresher course and assistance today were just perfect. I will most certainly pass along to everyone I know what fabulous people you are! Your professionalism is five star! Thank you, thank you again!”

Thanks for the great Test Prep class!  My son, Adam, took the class and found it to be so helpful.  Tony, the instructor, was through and really helped him understand the material.  And, Chris, his driving instructor, was wonderful and extremely patient. Adam was very happy and smiling when he walked in the door after his lesson.

Hi Marybeth.  I wanted to let you know how thankful I am that we chose you guys for my daughter’s driving lessons.  From the minute I walked in your office, I knew the place was special.  My daughter was very anxious to drive and was so scared when she walked out the door for her first lesson.  When she came back home, she was like an entirely different person – she loved it and had so much confidence.  All the instructors are top notch and were so incredibly compassionate and kind to my daughter.  Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!

Thanks so much, Marybeth!  It’s been a pleasure working with you and Tony again.  We look forward to next year with driver number 3 when he has the opportunity to get behind the wheel and follow in his siblings’ footsteps!  We so appreciate all you do.

Their instructors are outstanding. They cover everything our student drivers needed. They are incredibly helpful with applications, both written and driving tests, and information about young adult driver licenses. They teach safe driving. Both our children had no problems passing the driving test. Thank you for your outstanding service.

"You have an unbelievable company. All 3 of our sons took lessons there and you are amazing to work with! This can be a tense time for a family but you have made it so easy...you’re so kind and absolutely fabulous to work with. Thank you so much South Jersey Diving School!"

"From the start to the finish, the process of Hannah taking driving lessons with South Jersey Driving School went very smoothly. From the first time I stopped in, we were welcomed with a nice informative meeting and it moved right along from there until Hannah had her permit. You run a very efficient business!!"

"We were so amazed by his instructor Mike and how much confidence he had in our son. It also was very assuring to know that Mike explained where he needed practice and where he was confident. It proved to us that he did not just teach him to drive but he would also analyze what he was strong at and what aspects he needed more practice with... We couldn't ask for a better place to have him learn and be at ease when driving. I would highly recommend to anyone especially any parent that has a child with a learning disability"

Mrs. Patel and her son Jay stopped into our office with bagels, to let us know he passed his Road Test. “Your service was really great!! You take such good care of the kids. Everyone was so helpful. Thank you so much!"

Your instructors are superb!! Mike and Matt were on time and so nice. As a mom I felt comfortable and safe knowing my daughter was in the car with them.

I PASSED! I just wanted to thank you all for making it so easy for a 49 year-old to get her license. Tom was the best and made me feel comfortable and at peace with the driving experience. Need more guys like that! Be blessed and continue helping others get on the road the right way. I’ll be referring people to you, that’s for sure! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

South Jersey Driving School is the best!! A co-worker referred me here and I am so glad I took her advice! The staff is wonderful,from Tony and MaryBeth  to the drivers that took their time and patiently taught my son to drive and park. My son, Max, plays football and works weekends so his free time is very sparce but Tony took the time to work around his schedule. For a wonderful experience look no further this school is the best! Thank you!

Just a quick note of thanks! We appreciate all that you did to have our daughter pass her behind the wheel test. She passed on all categories without ANY mistakes! If you may remember, when we first contacted you, she was very apprehensive about driving. In the past eight years we were in two very serious accidents where a car ran a red light. Your instructors took that into consideration and made her feel comfortable behind the wheel. We REALLY appreciate your fitting her in for a refresher lesson. We believe that really helped to prepare for her test.  The gentleman that drove with her Saturday went above what we expected and gave her the confidence that she needed. Again, THANKS!

MaryBeth and Tony, I wanted to thank you for the wonderful training your instructor Mike gave to my son, Joe.   Joey was very nervous and told me that Mike made him relax and feel more confident while driving. Thanks to everyone there at South Jersey Driving School!

Our twins are driving!!! We had an awesome experience with South Jersey Driving School. The girls were encouraged perfectly by your staff throughout all phases of the process, your team helped build their confidence, and the overall experience was very good - very much like a family experience. Your staff (all of them) were fantastic, and after driving as a passenger (a lot... they love it) I am almost as confident as they are.

We have used SJDS for two of our children’s lessons and definitely plan on sending our third there. In addition to bringing the comfortable attitude of a family owned business, Mary Beth, Tony and the staff demonstrate their decades of experience with the utmost professionalism and thoroughly detailed approach to every phase of the permit and testing process.  I’ve never navigated the Division of Motor Vehicles so smoothly in my life – they even knew what to do when the driving course was closed due to snow! Most important of all, my kids are now safe, responsible drivers! Thanks Guys.

"Thank you so much for your tutoring class. It really helped and I received my driver's license."

I just had to write to let you know how grateful I am that I found SJDS for my youngest of 4. From the first time I walked into your office, I knew you cared for my child as if she was one of yours.Your instructor, Tom, made her feel confident as he taught her all she needed to master the road. If only every business had the passion South Jersey Driving School has, this world would be a better world! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart!!

“Thank you for providing a strong foundation for our daughter’s first experience behind the wheel and future driving endeavors. You never know how your child will react when embarking on something new and as important as driving. Christine felt safe and confident while working with Tom and Mike Matthews for her lessons. She had a wonderful experience with great support from these gentlemen. As parents, my husband and I felt extremely safe and confident that our “first born” was in wonderful hands and learned a great deal in a short time. Barb is an incredible facet to SJDS as well!!!!! Barb is a friendly face and voice who was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and willing to listen, answer questions and assist us through the entire process! We are so happy that we chose South Jersey Driving School!!!”

“Jackie was thrilled to pass the test and we are so grateful for the great job you did! Thank you again!”

"I just had to write to say what a great job George did in teaching Chelsea how to drive. She was very comfortable with him, he was always on time, and shereally looked forward to her lessons. My husband and I are very pleased. Thanks again for everything!"

I am so glad I chose South Jersey Driving School for my first-time driver. From top to bottom, inside and out, the entire staff was extremely helpful, courteous, understanding and patient. I really could not believe what lengths they went to for me. My son had an identification problem with DMV due to previous circumstances. It was convoluted enough that I, myself, would never have been able to straighten it out with the DMV - we all know how frustration that visit can be. With the experience and knowledge that South Jersey Driving School has, the problem was solved in one, count 'em ONE day. I would have ended up making numerous trips to the local DMV and probably even one to Trenton. My family and I are proud to call South Jersey Driving School one of the best businesses we have EVER dealth with. Thank you Marybeth, Tony, and your entire staff.

In early October, our son Nicholas took his final step in becoming an independent driver. He passed with flying colors! Our daughter, Rachel, did the same in November, 2009. I have to say that both our children took the time, effort, and experience that South Jersey Driving School provided them, and it made all the difference. Thank you for helping to make our children the best drivers they can be. It was a positive and rewarding time for them, and we are very grateful for that. Thanks again.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with our experience with South Jersey Driving School. Your instructors are prompt and professional. The office staff is helpful. Thanks to the guidance and instruction he received my son Mike passed both the written and the road test without any issues! Marybeth – you and your staff do an awesome job! I put my son behind the wheel in GREAT hands. I would highly recommend your services to all of my family and friends. Thanks again for a great experience!

My son took the “Written Test Prep” because he attends a private school that does not offer Driver’s Ed. This class was wonderful and Tony is a great instructor. There is no way my son could have studied the manual and passed the test, but by taking the class he was able to. Not only did he pass the test, but he got a 92 on it! He is now scheduled for his behind-the-wheel classes and is on his way to independence. I highly recommend the Written Test Prep class for anyone struggling to pass the written test or who has not had driver’s ed. in school. It is a well spent hour and a half.

Your organization does more than a parent of a drive would expect. You guys are exceptional. You offer everything and I could not have asked for anything more! Grandmother of Elysa McKinney

I wanted to thank you very much for working with our youngest son, Austin, as he begins preparations to acquire his drivers license. I really appreciate your company's professionalism. Your drivers, George and Mike, were outstanding, and the treatment we received from you and your office staff was superior as well. My wife and I were particularly appreciative of how you were so willing to answer all of our questions and concerns. Austin is the third of our children to utilize your company, and we have returned because of the great job you have done with our other two daughters. Please feel free to have any of your potential clients reach out to us, if needed.

I was so impressed with the instructors, as well as the owners and the office staff. They truly showed a personal interest in my daughter from the moment we walked in the door. Instructors George and Sean were amazing, and always offered positive reinforcement while effectively communicating what she needed to improve. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants their teenager to learn to drive with safety as their first priority.

Mike had a terrific experience with South Jersey Driving School. He thought both of his instructors were thorough and patient. Thanks for taking such good care of him and making this a pleasant experience.

My daughter took her 6 hours behind-the-wheel with another driving school and it was not a good experience. I had heard good things about South Jersey Driving School, so I scheduled a refresher lesson for her, as her road test was coming up. This is one of the best things I have done in terms of her driving. Her instructor was nice and very professional, and this lesson made her feel a lot more confident. I highly recommend the refresher lesson at South Jersey Driving School.

If I had to give out an award for the best business and how it is designed to compliment the family of new drivers, it would be the South Jersey Driving School. From the moment my son and I walked through their doors, till the end of his driving lessons, it has been nothing but professional. From the warm welcome, to the respectful driving instructors, it made us feel so comfortable. The owners Marybeth and Tony and their staff made us feel like part of their family. It was far more than obvious that they cared about their business and us. Honest, knowledgeable, respectful and professionalism all wrapped up into one great business. With Appreciation and Gratitude

I just wanted to say thank you over and over again for your professionalism, your courteous demeanor and the skill set you bought to both our daughters. My youngest passed the drivers test with flying colors today. My oldest did equally as well two years ago! I would recommend your school to anyone looking for a driving school for their teen.

My daughter passed her road test in Cherry Hill yesterday. I want to thank you again for your school's job in preparing Emily for her test and "the real world". We greatly appreciated your team's high level professionalism, quality, friendliness and promptness. I'm a Pediatrician and part of my job is preparing my patients for "the real world."  I have recommended South Jersey Driving School to my teenage patients many times (just as others had recommended SJDS to me in the past.)
