What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

My Four Wheels is described by learners as a driving school whose instructors build confidence quickly. Several buyers describe passing their practical test on the first attempt, often after only a handful of lessons, and reviewers often mention the patience and calm manner of named instructors such as Brian, Felix, Maciej Pomoryn and Graham Potter. A point made in several accounts is the clarity of explanation: learners say manoeuvres and weaknesses were broken down, teaching methods were adapted to the individual, and lessons were planned so that no time felt wasted.

Punctuality and flexibility also feature, with instructors accommodating changes to schedules and fitting lessons around other commitments, while Trudi Allman-Lewis, Tiberiu, James Jenkins, Judy Sedgemore, Timothy Hanson and Babak, known as Bobby, are praised for feedback and encouragement around test day. Learners in York and further afield note that they felt comfortable behind the wheel and were given the knowledge to drive independently, and the value of the tuition relative to its cost is mentioned more than once. Test-day support, including travelling to the test centre and keeping nerves in check, is credited with helping candidates succeed.

I passed my practical driving test first time with my instructor James Key today! James is a really good instructor and I’m really glad I got to be his first student to pass. He prepared me really well for my test and was always straightforward with me. If I did something wrong, he would tell me and explain what I needed to do to improve, which really helped me become a better driver. I’m really thankful for all the time and effort he put into helping me pass. He really made sure I was prepared and confident going into my test. I would definitely recommend James to anyone learning to drive. He’s been an amazing instructor and I’m really glad I had him!

James Jenkins is an excellent instructor who was very patient and supportive. He also was able to kindly accommodate to my schedule changes and would make an effort to fit lessons in where possible. I would recommend James to any learner driver looking for an instructor in Swansea.

Honestly, best experience I've ever had. Instructor James Smith was super understanding with me and always took his time to teach me. Not only teaching me how to pass my test but how to overcome real issues and situations real life will throw at you that will occur AFTER you pass. He truly got me ready for my test and prepared me for when he wasn't going to be there to coach me. Couldn't of asked for anyone better to teach me. Passed with only 3 minors.

I couldn’t recommend Graham Potter at My Four Wheels highly enough. He’s by far the best driving instructor I’ve ever had. (car- manual) Unlike some driving schools I’ve experienced before, Graham genuinely makes sure you get the maximum value from every lesson. Nothing feels rushed or like a waste of money, every session has a clear purpose. He always arrives with a plan, so you’re constantly making progress, but at the same time he’s flexible and encourages your input. He’ll always ask what you’d like to work on or if there are any areas you want to revisit, which kept me fully engaged throughout my learning. That approach made me feel completely comfortable being honest about my weaknesses and asking any questions I had. Graham is incredibly patient, understanding and supportive, and you can tell he genuinely cares about helping his pupils become safe, confident drivers rather than just passing the test. I looked forward to every lesson, and thanks to Graham’s guidance I felt confident and well-prepared. His excellent pass record speaks for itself. I would recommend him to anyone without hesitation, and I’ve already referred several of my mates to him.

Great experience with my four wheels. My instructor, Brian, was fantastic! Incredibly patient and calm which is exactly what I needed. After learning with many instructors over the years and never getting close to test ready, Brian worked with me on my weaknesses and gave me the confidence I needed to pass. Highly recommend Brian. I never thought I’d pass until learning with him!

I did my practical driving test yesterday at Weston Super Mare and passed. First attempt and I smashed it 💯. My Four Wheels instructor Judy Sedgemore was very instrumental. She made my driving test be a piece of cake. I highly recommend My Four Wheels and more so....Judy Sedgemore the instructor
