Testimonials

"Phil was a great driving instructor. Made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Would definitely recommend to anyone!

Caoimhe

"Great driving school, i passed in only 2 months! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to drive, Phil is such a nice guy and genuinely wishes for you to do your best. Thanks Phil for helping me pass!"

Connor

"I couldn't recommend phil enough. 11 years ago, i failed my test twice due to hesitation. i had a bad bicycle accident recently, which i had PTSD therapy for. I'd had recurring nightmares about driving off a cliff or into a river. SO, a very nervous driver. However, with a baby on the way, i thought it was about time i learn. I often told phil about all the dodgy junctions in the area. He was really patient without being patronising and we built that confidence up. Despite being 7.5 months pregnant, bad sleep, sickness and nervous, i passed first time. Thank you phil, could not have done it without you. You're an amazing instructor!"
