"Akbar is by far the best!"

I started my driving lessons with Akbar 14 months ago, riddled with anxiety and fear. Akbar was amazing at helping me overcome all my fears, he took it at my pace, without pressure but encouraged me when I needed a push. He has the best banter, and made me laugh, the learning environment was relaxed and comfortable, and felt like I was driving with a friend. He built my confidence up to where I started believing in myself. I am a totally different person now than I was back all thanks to him! He has the patience of a saint and I have made a friend for life. I would recommend him to anyone, can't think him enough and I will actually miss our lessons together.

"I can’t thank James Keefe enough"

I can’t thank James Keefe enough.
I started my lessons back in August/September after taking a few years off driving. I managed to pass first time thanks to James and his brilliant teaching!! Driving has always been something I’m fearful of and James made it no longer scary!
Couldn’t recommend him and this driving school enough

"I started my driving lessons with Akbar…"

I started my driving lessons with Akbar when I had just turned 17, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! From day one, he made me feel so comfortable and at ease. His sense of humor was amazing—every lesson felt more like spending time with a friend rather than being in a formal learning environment. He had such a natural way of explaining things that made everything click, and his patience was unmatched.Thanks to his guidance and encouragement, I passed my test first time! I couldn’t be more grateful for the confidence he helped me build and the laughs we had along the way. If you’re looking for an instructor who will make you feel confident, comfortable, and enjoy every moment of learning, he’s the one. Highly, highly recommend

"Highly recommended!"

My instructor, Akbar, was absolutey awesome! *Supremely* calm and patient, he managed to transform me from a borderline amaxophobic gibbering jelly into a reasonably competent driver who was able to pass first time. A good laugh too. Can't recommend enough!

"Carl slater driving instructor "

Carl slater is an incredibly kind, supportive and brilliant driving instructor. After two previous instructors I was a very nervous learner. Thanks to Carl I’ve not only improved my confidence but I’ve also learned to love driving too. He’s always been super helpful and has always made me feel at ease- something which id never previously had. Highly recommend Carl to everyone, and is the sole reason I’m a happy driver now!

"Very poor customer service"

Very poor customer service. As I hadn’t paid instantly and instead a few hours later for a lesson in a few days time, my lesson was cancelled, had quite passive aggressive communication and since then, they haven’t answered any of my calls. I would avoid this company and find one that treats customers with respect.

"I have passed my driving test today"

I have passed my driving test today with the help and lessons from Carl Slater. I would recommend him to anyone, as he made me feel ease when doing my lessons and always had a laugh so going to miss my lessons now. But thank you so much really appreciate it. Great driving instructor!

"James Keefe from No Gears, thank you!"

I can't thank James Keefe from No Gears enough! He made learning to drive an absolute pleasure. His teaching style is fantastic – he provides clear and honest feedback, always pointing out areas for improvement in a constructive and helpful way. This really accelerated my learning and helped me become a confident driver. Thanks to James' guidance, I passed my driving test first time!

If you're looking for an instructor who offers excellent feedback and helps you develop strong driving skills, then James is your guy. Highly recommended!

"Highly recommend Carl Slater"

Had all my lessons with Carl and he is an amazing instructor who instantly puts you at ease. I progressed with every lesson, everything was explained in a succinct way that's easy to understand and great conversations made all the hours fly by. Passed first time with his guidance, highly recommend.
