What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Fazakerley, on Whitewood Park, this school runs lessons across the week from nine in the morning until eight in the evening, with shorter Saturday and Sunday availability until mid-afternoon. Several instructors are named repeatedly across accounts, including Arash, Roy, Lewis Gibbons and Owen Arrands, each described as patient and thorough when explaining mistakes and building confidence gradually. First-time passes come up often, with pupils crediting structured lesson plans and clear feedback after each drive for their readiness on test day.

Nervous beginners feature strongly among the reviewers, several describing how anxiety around areas such as Sefton Park or Norris Green was worked through steadily until driving felt comfortable rather than stressful. Instructors are praised for tailoring sessions to individual weaknesses, going beyond simply passing the test to cover broader road awareness and safer long-term habits.

Flexibility around university and work schedules is mentioned by a number of pupils, with lessons rearranged to fit study commitments. Local test routes around Norris Green and St Helens are referenced by more than one learner, suggesting instructors know the areas well. Encouragement after setbacks, including repeat attempts, is another recurring thread, with pupils describing renewed confidence following an unsuccessful test. Evening lessons running until eight extend accessibility for those with daytime commitments, alongside weekend slots for practice.

I passed at Norris Green with Arash as my driving instructor. He really helped build my confidence and be more independent, giving good explanations. Thank you very much!!

Couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor (Arash) Really patient and easy to get along with. I enjoyed every lesson I had with them. They explained things properly, helped build my confidence, and were always encouraging even when I made mistakes. I felt really well prepared for my test and passed feeling confident thanks to their help. Would definitely recommend to anyone learning to drive!

Passed my driving test first time yesterday with Roy, and I can’t recommend him enough ! He is very knowledgeable, patient, and supportive, and always makes you feel at ease while learning. His guidance and encouragement helped me build my confidence and pass my test. A brilliant instructor – thank you, Roy! I’ll definitely be recommending him to anyone looking for a driving instructor in the future !!

My son had been having manual driving lessons with this driving school since October 2025. His driving instructor told him to put in for his practical driving test after passing his theory test. My sons driving test is this month and the driving instructor has changed cars from a manual to an automatic and has since left the company,knowing that my son has his test booked. I reached out to the owners only to be told that they could not help my son. I'm sorry, but if I owned a franchise and this happened to one of my pupils, then I would take full responsibility and help as much as I could,knowing that the test date was due soon. Just felt that my son had been kicked to the kerb. I know how busy driving schools are but just no support whatsoever. Not even a contact number where you can speak to anybody, just a silly voicemail asking to use their website. What has happened to humanity? Absolutely disgusting. Please be aware when using a franchised driving school that things can turn bad really quickly.

My instructor was Arash, He was great and very patient with me. He helped with my confidence and my overall awareness. I passed my test the first time with no issues. I highly recommend Arash for anyone who is looking for an instructor.

Absolutely brilliant experience with this driving school from start to finish. A big thank you to Lewis G for all the lessons, advice, and support along the way. He was easy to get on with, and a top instructor who really helped build my confidence behind the wheel. I took my test at Norris Green and passed in the end couldn’t have done it without his help. Highly recommend this driving school, and especially Lewis, to anyone learning to drive! 😎🚗
