"Highly recommend!!"

I highly recommend my driving instructor, Akbar. He possesses an unparalleled level of patience, instilling confidence in his students while guiding them patiently. His teaching style is relaxed, avoiding excessive pressure, yet he adeptly identifies driving weaknesses and helps students improve upon them.

"Carl Slater!"

Thank you so much Carl for everything! Passed first time today, wouldn’t have been able to do it without you. You’ve always been understanding and patient with me, even when I would doubt myself over everything. Couldn’t recommend you enough!

"I am 58 years old and so a very late…"

I am 58 years old and so a very late starter to driving and also a very apprehensive one. I initially took lessons with another instructor not affiliated with No Gears and whilst the instructor was personable he didn't make me feel confident and i would dread my lessons! I hated it! after months of lessons and the realisation i wasn't getting any better and my fear of driving was worsening i decided to give a new instructor a try, although in honesty i wasn't really expecting any change as i firmly believed the problem was mine!
I contacted No Gears who allocated me to Steve Leggett and from lesson one the difference was amazing, Steve pushed me out of my comfort zone whilst at the same time making me feel more confident. I no longer had that feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach as lessons approached and actually would look forward to them, I started to believe that just maybe i could do this! After 3 months of 1 lesson a week i took my test and PASSED FIRST TIME!!
I cannot thank Steve enough and would 200% recommend him to anyone young or old wishing to learn to drive!
Steve is an expert driving instructor who i am convinced could take anyone to pass standard.... even the most apprehensive of pupils like me!

"Rickmansworth: Watford Centre with Steve Leggett"

Steve Leggett is the best instructor I have EVER had, I completed 25 hours with Steve. I learned to drive in Rickmansworth in July - September but unfortunately I didn’t pass my test with him because I had to move to Durham to start my university and Watford centre is extremely busy. He’s very kind and patient. He won’t shout at you on every single minor mistake you make, and won’t push you off from driving by saying “oh you will fail your test”

When I moved to Durham, my new instructor was very impatient, sometimes he’s even on his mobile phone while supervising me but YOU WILL NOT see that from Steve. Every lessons with Steve was comfortable like you’re having a nice drive and learn to drive safe in peace.

Instead of shouting at pupils to do 6 points check, Steve always told me to look for what I need to look for. For example, people, hazard and animals in mirrors. I have 0 minors in observations.

I didn’t realise how important having a good instructor was until I had a very short temper instructor and how bad my mental could get by sitting next to bad instructor for 2 hours in every lesson.

To new learners, If you are allocated to Steve, you are in a safe hand. 😃

"H Sunner is the best driving instructor around!"

I’ve just passed my driving test this morning after just under 6 months of lessons with H and I have to say that I couldn’t ask for a better instructor! He’s been so patient and kind to me throughout my journey starting as beginner to becoming a licensed driver. I can be a bit frustrating to work with when I feel defeated and like I want to give up but H refused to give up on me and helped me learn to be resilient and get through any and every obstacle. I’m so grateful for my time learning with him and will take everything I’ve been taught with me for the rest of my driving journey!

"Ryan Mircic (Hatfield)"

Really enjoyed lessons with Ryan, definitely recommend him! Was incredibly anxious to begin with, partly due to an accident I was in last year but Ryan was patient and managed my nerves. I was lucky to find a test date, so I came to him with it pre-booked, luckily he took me on and took the time to come up with lesson plans. After each lesson I had revision notes to take home so the chances of me making the same mistake over and over again were slim to none. I passed with only one minor !!! Absolute result !! Thanks Ryan

"Highly Recommend Company"

Barry was a very calm and patient instructor, he really helped me overcome my driving nerves which I had been struggling with for many years. After lessons with Barry, I was able to pass on my first time with only two minors! I was super duper happy. Barry answered all my questions and he catered to my requirements. I highly recommended no gears and I highly recommend Barry Nickless as an instructor.
The staff I spoke to on the phone were really helpful, nice and accommodating.

"Driving lessons with Carl Slater!"

After previously trying driving lessons before giving up for 2 years I started driving lessons with Carl Slater and he was amazing!! He was so patient and helped me through lessons with my anxiety, made the learning process so much easier! He was reassuring if mistakes were made and explained how to fix these. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor, would recommend to anyone.

"Poor Customer Service from Phone Operators"

I called up asking if there was any availability in the Bath area and I was told no as they do not offer lessons in Bath.

Fair enough. I told the phone operator that they should update the website as it was misleading. They told me that I was wrong and as I was about to say that it was easily Google-able (search No Gears Bath) they were rudely dismissive and hung up.

I'm really surprised by how rude the phone operator was. I'm disappointed by this poor customer service as RED and other driving schools were far more polite...

"No Gears James"

I had James Keefe as an instructor in Stevenage. He was excellent, and very helpful. Always gave advice that was constructive and wanted to ensure I would pass first time - which I did. He also gave me lots of handouts/sheets that I could use to revise at home - which were very useful. Would definitely recommend.
