SIM’S Driving School, Lowell | Fees, Rankings, Address, Admission, Vacancies, Reviews & More

I have recently gotten my license after taking lessons at Jorge’s so I can finally write a review on this mess of a place.

I took about 5 lessons here before eventually going somewhere else. The instructors themselves are ok but it’s not exactly safe to take personal phone calls during road lessons, regardless of how experienced a student is. Also I paid for an hour lesson so give me that whole 60 minutes, not exactly my fault you showed up late for it.

The final straw as to why I left the school was when I had an 8am lesson with Boreth and he never showed up. I waited 20 minutes and he didn’t pick up his personal cell phone and no one picked up in the office. I was buying breakfast before class and he called a whole hour and a half after my lesson asking me where I was. I told him he was late and I couldn’t wait for him. He told me to call the office then to reschedule. I called that office three times every day for the next 4 days and no one picked up, doesn’t help either their voicemail box is off. Eventually I left an email through their website and got a response a day later asking me when I was available for a road lesson.

I just didn’t care anymore to respond so I called Jorge’s Auto School who gladly took me in after a single phone call. So enjoy that free money from that road lesson I never got!

This is the worst experience i have ever had, the owner of the shop is not a nice person he shouted at people just because he was not able to find a booking time slot in his system, he threatened my friends. Also the women who i believe is the daughter of this man is the worst instructor ever they took money for 1 hour of the practice session but after half hour they said they cannot let people drive more because and when you ask for the money back they say that they have no refund policy. I lowkey think that these guys are in on with the authorities and they fail people on purpose, so they come back and mint more money out of people. 5 out of 5 people that have been here and i know them haven’t cleared the road test. Please don’t go with these guys, you can get value for the hard earned money that you’ve paid anywhere else but here. Save yourself some time and money and pick any other decent instructor in the city but not them. If you do choose them make sure they treat you like customers and not like they own the DMV.

SIMs driving school is a scam. They will tell you that is costs $660 to take their classes and get a discount on your insurance but it is a lie. They don’t tell you about the $200 fee for the class sessions you have to pay. And then they don’t tell you about the $15 fee for the Drivers Ed Certificate. When you confront the owner about his dishonesty he will yell at you and call you an accuser. They never pick up their phones and none of this is explained on the website or on receipts. What you purchase is at this school is unknown.
