Was dreading sorting the pass plus. Went from terrified to confident in three months. No pressure, no upselling, just good honest service. Wouldnt go anywhere else now.

Service was fine, price was a bit higher than expected at £45. Might have been unlucky

Booked in for a block of ten lessons after a bad experience elsewhere. Never felt rushed, lessons were paced to me. Even sorted a small extra thing for free. Faultless.

Had a test day with First Gear Driving Academy on Friday. my instructor was so calm even when I stalled at a roundabout with a bus behind me. Explains things in a way that actually sticks. Never felt rushed. Faultless.
