A DAVE CRAWSHAW S.O.M

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

On Holme Lane in Hillsborough, this instructor is closely associated with one name that appears throughout the feedback: Dave. More than one review highlights his calm, patient manner, particularly with nervous learners returning to lessons after a long break or coming from a previous instructor who had not suited them. Several accounts describe passing on the first attempt with only a handful of minor faults after a structured run of lessons, while others took a shorter block of refresher sessions following an earlier failed test and still passed within weeks.

Explanations of manoeuvres and general driving technique are described as thorough and easy to follow, and more than one reviewer credits this clarity with building their confidence quickly. Availability in the Hillsborough area is mentioned as a point of relief for at least one learner who had struggled to find a weekly slot elsewhere, and Dave is noted as reliably finding time each week once lessons began.

Professionalism, punctuality and a down-to-earth approach come up consistently across the comments, alongside a sense that lessons were tailored to individual pace rather than following a rigid script. The business operates Tuesday to Friday during the day, with no weekend availability listed, fitting learners who can commit to weekday sessions in the Holme Lane and wider Hillsborough area.

Passed first time with Dave 👍 I'm older than most learner drivers so had to fit lessons in around a busy job, travel & other responsibilities - Dave was so easy to work with; always flexible, accommodating & willing to find a way to make it work. Dave puts you at ease from the get-go. Very calm, explains what you need to do clearly & simply - I never felt rushed or under pressure. He knows all the routes and the bits that might trip you up on them - I felt very prepared going into the test, and didn't get any surprises.

Dave is a brilliant instructor! I have been doing lessons with him for 3 months before my test, and without him I wouldn't have passed! Thank you Dave, you are a phenomenal driving instructor!
