4.9 / 5 · 375 totalAsked if they offered lessons after 5pm or on weekends and received a rude, snarky and unhelpful response. Their hours are not stated on the website and the form mentions special agreements for weekend appointments so I figured it was fair to ask the question but clearly not. I told them I would find a different instructor who would be willing to work with me to find a good time. Then received this response. The most unprofessional company I’ve ever come across. Glad I dodged the bullet!
Easy and unequivocal recommendation for A2B. Chris is very knowledgeable and provides clear and calm instruction. Really helped me understand the process of driving, not just what to do but also why, which has rapidly grown my confidence in a short space of time. You can't go wrong with these guys.
If you’re thinking about which school to pick for your driving lessons, look no further! This has been such a fantastic learning experience for me. Very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. Driving instructor Chris has been so wonderful teaching me the rules of the road and how to drive a manual car. Highly highly recommend this school! Also, they were able to take me on as a student right away which I really appreciated.
I booked some refresher lessons with Chris since I had lost my confidence after not driving my for a year. Chris is an amazing teacher - endlessly calm and patient and incredibly knowledgeable about driving. He tailored the lessons to what I wanted to work on and didn’t just teach me how to drive but helped me understand how the car and roads work - which really helped my learning. Thank you Chris!
Absolutely fantastic driving school! I'm genuinely not sure how Chris could have been a better instructor. As a teenager, I decided to learn automatic after losing my confidence with manual. However, a current job requires that I have a full licence, so I started manual lessons with Chris and have since passed my test first time with one minor. His knowledge, reactions and patience as an instructor are unparalleled and it's a brilliant environment to learn how to drive manual safely and with confidence. I really can't thank you enough Chris and A2B!
Thank you for your good service. I needed a refresher to prepare for my regular journey to hospital as a busy Doctor with limited driving experience. A colleague recommended you and I am pleased I followed their advice. Fast response and good lessons. Recommended.
Couldn’t recommend A2B driving school more. They were super efficient in matching me up with an experienced driving teacher speedily, having struggled through other schools. I passed my driving test a number of years ago but have always been an anxious driver so have been keen to complete refresher sessions. Chris is the best teacher I’ve had, by far, takes patience and care and is always clear in his instructions to support your learning, understanding and build confidence. I never really believed I’d be behind the wheel again and since starting lessons with Chris I can truly believe I will be driving independently in no time. This will impact my commitments in my personal life and work dramatically. Feel incredibly thankful to have been matched with Chris and supported by A2B driving to get safely and confidently back on the road :)
