Hernandez Auto SchoolFAQ's
Is Hernandez Auto School an approved driving school in New York?
Just because a driving school appears on our directory of driver training institutions, we cannot guarantee that they are fully licensed to offer behind-the-wheel training courses in New York. We highly recommend that you contact Hernandez Auto School directly or the New York DMV to find out for sure if Hernandez Auto School offers hands-on driving courses that have been approved by the State of New York.
Do I have to take a behind-the-wheel training course? Can't my parents just give me my driver training?
There are some states that do allow parents or guardians to provide their teen-aged kids' required behind-the-wheel training in order to obtain a driver's license. However many states do not allow any type of substitution for attending a professionally-taught behind-the-wheel training course. We suggest you contact your state's DMV to find out what the laws are in your state regarding behind-the-wheel training.
What if I don't know how to operate a stick-shift automobile? Does Hernandez Auto School have automatic-shift vehicles that I can drive when I do my driver training?

However, if you prefer an automatic vehicle then you should tell Hernandez Auto School that prior to signing up to take the course in order to make sure they can accommodate you.
