Great experience with the Driving instructors. Freddy , Ralph and My man Elliot.Elliot and I had much in commonFrom the jump, he made me comfortable as a driver and gave me that push I needed to be where I am today . Every lesson he had me on my toes , and everyday I learned more. whether it was on a mistake or something i was practicing on. I cant thank that man enough for all his help.NOTE: i went in knowing close to nothing... going home and studying , practicing on your own time is VERY IMPORTANT. Dont expect to succeed if youre not willing to put in the work !!
Great school was able to obtain my CDL class A with only 5 lessons. Instructors take their time to explain what you need to pass the first time! Also theyre very accommodating to fit your scheduling needs and you get a reminder call the day before. All the staff members were pleasant. I recommend to anybody who may need a lil or a lot of help to pass their road test
People should know that Al Soranos Driving school is a state of the community. Helping men and women reach there goals in obtaining there professional driving license. Its a hands on course with all the information necessary to answer any driving question.
This has to be one of the worst driving schools for CDL in the city. I had trouble with them from day 1,they charge you $615 for the smallest driving package 2nd I was having a problem going to the 3rd training hour because I got sick and the secretary caught an attitude because I wanted another date., she said they could do nothing to transfer the day for the training and also didnt want to put the supervisor on the phone, then on the day of the actual test the drivers shows up doesnt even make eye contact to me to let me know who he is and refuses to let me practice before the test it was a very horrible experience. Especially since I wadwunemployed at the time.
Not sure why the bad reviews. I came from a different school and wasted 3k to almost learn literally nothing. Came here it was hands on with Freddy and Ralphy and they actually cared if I passed or not. Was really nervous day of test but passed on first tru. just make sure you keep yourself responsible for learning the pre trip inspection. Now I start my first otr job next week
Im a trainer for a trucking company and I get students that come from this school not knowing anything. They cant drive, shift, read signs, or most importantly how to back a semi. They all say they test in a 45 ft truck and trailer when in the real world its 53 ft. Im doing the work for them teaching people that come out this school. I demand some of the money you steal. Worst school!
Soranos driving school helped me to get my class b AND class a CDL. I was taught by pros who were patient knowledgeable and dedicated.Everything was great with birth of my experiences and my careers havechanged my life with the CDLs all thanks to Soranos. Thank you guys
CDL A , WORST SCHOOL ......This school is horrible , I never knew until I went to a job orientation recently . They dont teach you anything. No 45 , no 90 and no alley dock !No log books , i made a complete ass of myself. How can you say its a professional driving school and not teaching what is truly relevant to be successful in the field??There packages are riduculous , their only aim is to make money in a short period of time. So you keep failing the road test and coming back to reschedule another .For CDL A , they train you on a 28 feet trailer. . Which long haul company gonna hire a recent grad with only minimum experience in driving a 28 feet trailer! !! ??They are a total SCAM!!!I would recommend you taking your money and spending it elsewhere in order to get your moneys worth!
I went to the school to study for a Class B in 2015 on a government grant. The learning experience was great and there was one particular instructor, who seemed to do exceptionally well in teaching and instructing.Recently, in 2017 and 2018, I pursued a Class A license and instructing from Al Sorano utilizing my own funds - world of a different experience not in their favor!1. Theres no more star instructors, from my standpoint.2. I was told there would be no road test dates until March 2018, and so I asked them if they could find a road test date from the DMV before my permit expired in February. They scheduled a date for January 31, without notifying me and when I mentioned it was too soon, they said, well thats the date they gave me...That got messy, but when trying to resolve the situation, one of the men that answered the phone just got a really horrible attitude and was pretty certain in being judgmental to blame me for the whole situation. The details are so convoluted and the conversation was so warped and misleading and dishonest that I cant even remember the amount of twists that I was taken through. A few words come to mind to explain it - Abusive, Pompous, Arrogant, Deceitful, Liar, Malicious. I am currently on my way back to get refunded for the rest of my lessons. I would rather sit on my Class B for a while than to continue what was a trainwreck coming since 2017 in dealing with the man who I believe may be the manager. Strangely enough, the next place I intend to go to costs way more, but its worth the peace of mind in my opinion. Can you get the training you need there to gain your license? Yes. Will you get abused there as a customer? Probably so.
Great driving school ! Instructors are good and professionals. The office keeps alway in touch with students.I passed my CDL B road test at the first time.I would recommend this school to any one
HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE school to go to and try and learn how to drive a bus from scratch!!! These instructors really dont show you exactly what you need to know to pass the road test.Each time Ive taken the test I failed based on the fact that what they teach you arent the key points of whats need to know in order to pass!! Instructors will tell you stories so the time can pass and next thing you know the lesson is over and all important stuff needed is left out!!!HORRIBLE,HORRIBLE STAFF,and the buses are in HORRIBLE shape.You will be entering at your own risk and its really not worth it!!!GO SOME WHERE ELSE!!!
The people in this place is very bad. I would never in my life ever recommend this school especially that lazy teacher Michael Cruz. He is one the worst person that works in that place. The lady in the front desk all she care about is money. I really hope they would do something about this school bec I waste money and mainly time. If your reading go to another driving school. Sometimes, you have to pay more for a better future. This school is the worst. (: I hope you are reading this Michael Cruz ^_^
Went to take a class b lesson here yrs ago paid $80 dollars just to hear instructor talk. Nothing in reference on how to inspect vehicle just complete bs for the whole hour. My point is anybody looking to get a class b youre better off going to a school bus company or academy at least you will be compensated for your time and trained thoroughly not ripped off by these crooks.
They took my money then send me to take the road test on a broken truck that the clutch does not work, the steering wheel was not set properly and the mirror couldnt be moved. I have 5 years driving experience as a truck driver in my country and I could not pass the road test because that they want you to fail so you have to pay more money.I went to another school I pass with no problem.
Great school and very professional staff , was able to obtain my CDL class b after 4 lessons And a lot of studying. My instructor made it easy for me to study by explaining everything step by step .
Good School I bought the package of 3 classes for my license A and pass the road test without problem, if you go to this school wanting to learn to drive Tracktor looks for Raphael is a very good instructor
Worst driving school. There license need to be revoked.
I did exactly what my instructor taught me. I was the only one to pass my road test that day!Going back for my class A. No doubt in my kind I will be just as successful.
Good, Their training was on point and their trainers are professional.
Bro they literally work with you and take there time and teach you step by step how to drive
Really bad costumer service, no info ofered when i called regarding CDL license.
Amazing driving school excellent intstructors, they teach u all u need to know and make you feel very comfortable and confident, prices are very reasonable, definitely recommend to all
TERRRRRRRIBLEEEEE SCHOOL DO NOT GO HERE THEY JUST WANT YOU TO KEEP TAKING LESSONS SO THEY CAN TAKIE YOUR MONEY!! THEY DONT CARE ABOUT PREPARING YOU FOR THE ROAD TEST! I TOOK 10 LESSONS AND NOT ONCE DID MY INSTRUCTOR TEACH ME HOW TO PARK OR MAKE A U TURN. HE DID NOT PREPARE ME FOR THE ROAD TEST AT ALL. DURING THE LESSONS HE WOULD MAKE STOPS GET OUT OF THE CAR RUN ERRANDS AND THE LESSONS WILL BE NOTHING BUT DRIVING AROUND NO INSTRUCTION ON WHAT DO TO DO TO PASS THE ROAD TEST. I WENT TO ANOTHER DRIVING SCHOOL. RUKI AUTO DRIVING SCHOOL TOOK 5 LESSONS AND PASSED MY ROAD TEST, AND I ONLY LOST 5 POINTS. I DONT NOT RECOMMEND ANYBODY TO COME TO THIS SCHOOL THEY SUCK THEY ALL WANT YOUR MONEY THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU PASSING.
You have training for CDL class C for bus school
Awesome school that help train and prep me for my class A CDL. And I passed,. Ask for tally!
Passed my CDL exam first try!! Excellent instructors. Highly recommended!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
This place is a joke. They do not care about you passing. They want you to fail so that you can continue going to make more money from HRA. THEY ARE CROOKS. STAY AWAY. this is a SCAM.
Never do business with them they don’t show you or help you with anything the driver always rushing you to get back please never go there save your money
Horrible school l haven’t seen in my entire life

Terrible service the receptionist has no patience. I asked him if he spoke Spanish, he told me yes. And I kept speaking to him in English, I always told him if you dont like the work you do, dont do it.

2022-08-24The instructors are nice. However, its a lot of talk and stories but not something that would help much. I feel that I didnt gain much knowledge. One of my biggest frustration was that one instructor would tell you to do things a certain way, and the other would tell you no,no,no do it this way.” At the end of the day It all was just a confusion 😕. Im not going to say that I didnt learn anything from this school, but for the money I spent I was not satisfied. After this school I went to crossway and I passed the maneuver portion of the test with only two classes that I paid 🙃 the instructors name was Jose. The rating I would give this school is 2.5 out of 5. I do consider I’m being fair with that rating.

2022-07-20Al Soranos Professional Driving school is an excellent place to get the best training for any CDL License Class A or B. The teachers there are dedicated on helping you pass your road test. You also have to do your part and study at home.

2022-09-04This school is horrible I wish I could give it zero stars. Mike has to be one of the worse instructor there. You are going to do more errands, than actually learning how to drive. You’ll be lucky if you learn how to parallel park. Save your money and go else where.

2022-08-11Horrific school and tgere vehicles are broken. They say you must get 80 points during your class, meanwhile the instructor has no grade sheet no papers or anything. The instructor also performed the air brake test wrong. Got up while the engine was building air pressure to check the inside of the bus. Dumbest way to do an airbrake inspectoon i ever seen

2022-09-07Don’t come here. The day of my test I failed because of the pre-trip I was missing information that my trainer didn’t gave me they didn’t even reach out to see what happen or anything.

2022-01-06Felt like I could’ve had better instruction. I was recommended to go here but I don’t think this is a place for completely inexperienced drivers like myself who never had the privilege to drive a car in their life. I can’t even turn correctly. I wasn’t even allowed to move the steering wheel and try a few things on my own, like parallel parking, so I missed that chance of practice in some of my lessons. I need people who can work with me to get use to the feel of a car and not make me nervous. Also, the car is super dirty. When going for my test, I had nowhere to put my phone and card holder. Used tissues were all in the middle console and door. When I went to just throw it on the back seat, there was planks of wood and dirty rags. The car disgusted me. Now I’m going to have to wait until I can afford another several hundred dollars in lessons somewhere else. Don’t go to this school if you’ve never driven a car a day in your life. They don’t have the patience.Edit: To be honest, the instructor, Elliot, yelled at me a few times, loosing patience. Car was in horrible shape. And he never taught me about the rear view mirror. They also kept taking the wheel from me when I was learning how to park so I never got it. I’m at a new school now and they’re nicer, have better cars, and I was told I’m not bad. I have better control with the steering wheel than the car at this school. I even got the hang of parking by my third try on my first lesson with them. If you can go somewhere else, go! Don’t waste $600 like I did.

2021-12-06Horrible driving school, please don’t come here. Bad instructors they only care about taking your money. They don’t have any patience with you, and aren’t considerate at all. The only understanding person is the receptionist and that’s all. Pls save your money and go some place worth it!!!!!
