Reviews of J.M.S. Driving Academy (Driving School)

This has to be handsdown the best driving academy im dartmouth. Cheapest and most entertaining, I passed my road test today first try after going through this company. Highly recommend , he makes his classroom work enjoyable throwing some comedy in it. And his instructors are just AS hilarious ... wonderful experience

I requested an hour of driving lessons, but was told the first lesson had to be two hours. So I paid $100 for 2 hours. The appointment was booked for two days later, but the night before, it was rescheduled for later in the day. The first instructor was calm and competent, but stopped after 1 hour, which left me hanging for another appointment. When I tried to get a second lesson, I was promised an appointment for the next day, but it didn't happen until the following afternoon, at a time I told him I was unavailable. During the second lesson, the instructor did nothing but confuse me while I was trying to drive. I appreciate an occasional correction to guide me, but I was trying to practice the timing of my stops and turns, and all his interruptions prevented me from learning anything, and distracted me from safe driving.

The people are nice and all but very unreliable. They cancelled on me more times than I actually had driving sessions. Even though they knew my road test was scheduled for Thursday, they cancelled on me Monday and never responded to my calls to book more time. I failed my test. I regret choosing this school.

Horrible school. Paid almost 600$ for the classes and driving time. The first 2 classes were right away, the 2 following classes were a month after. Students weren’t given a date for the classes until a few days before. Absolutely no communication from staff. Very poorly organized. Couldn’t even get any time behind the wheel before my road test. Very dissatisfied and a complete waste of money, good luck with a refund

JMS was able to book some of my in car sessions whether it was a couple days or a couple weeks in advance. All the people who did the in car session were very nice and gave lots of feedback. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a driving school in Halifax.

I needed to exchange my Russian driver's license and had a few driving lessons with Steve and Wane before taking the road test. The guys were really helpful and friendly. They explained to me everything I needed to know and the test did not seem that hard. We covered all the test routes and I past first try! I really liked the car (KIA), it was good, nice and easy to drive. Thank you!

Felt well prepared for my road test despite not being able to practice on my own.

I was at the Tim Hortons on Portland Street and there is a small street towards the back of their parking lot that is marked as one way with arrow. JMS Driving school car turned in going the opposite and coming toward me so I beeped my horn and he got upset and argued with me that it was NOT a one way even though it is marked that way. It is CLEARLY marked with arrow pointing one way, if a driving instructor cannot follow the rules of the road they shouldn't teach new drivers how to drive!

If I could give them 10 stars, I would for sure! I was more than ready for my road test, thanks to Ron :) I would definitely recommend!! Thanks again
