“I was given an instructor called Paul. I only stuck with him for 2 lessons which were both 2 hours long. On the morning of each lesson he was late and by the time he had driven me to a location it was 10am. By the time the lesson finished he cut it short for 15 minutes early which I paid for lessons for 9.30 to start and 11.30 to finish which wasn’t the case at all. During 1 lesson he told me to me a u turn on a dip road which went down hill slightly then up hill. As I came out the road again to turn right bearing in mind I checked all the mirrors and there was no cars coming either way I had got onto the road again then there was a car coming to the left which slowed down to let me go. Paul got snappy and told me to pull up on the left which I did. He then had a go about me not checking the mirrors which I did before hand. I thought it was really unprofessional of him the way he had a go I wanted to end the lesson there and then. I’m a natural worried learner which I’m sure most Learners can relate too. I have not been back since I have now found a decent instructor who is calming and more compassionate.”

“I have taken 8 lessons from AA driving school. The instructor Monowara Chowdhury is worst instructor. She just doing time pass and tries to make you not fit for driving so that you will come to her for many more lessons, that way she can earn more money from you. She asked me to not book through AA and offered her personal bank account details to transfer money directly to book lessons. She and AA both are waste. Don’t waste money and time with AA. For sure you will loose your driving confidence if you land here with AA.”

“My instructor Mr. Karim (Leicester) cancelled on me less than 24 hours before the test without prior notice, causing me to lose my test date and fee. He raised his voice at me and asked me to go to the police station if I wasn't happy with his opinion. Didn't do his penultimate lesson and didn't refund. Complaints team said they couldn't do anything as I had no evidence. Terrible. I would never recommend AA”

“I booked my daughter 10 hours of driving lessons. The first instructor cancelled. Then booked another instructor who didn’t turn up and sent me a message saying “you may have cancelled it please check”. I think I’d know if I’d cancelled a lesson. I’m not impressed at all. The customer service has been good and my refund is being processed. But I don’t recommend”

“My experience in AA Driving School was exceptional. My instructor, Kajanraj Thavayogan really took time to understand my weaknesses and strengths thereby, working with these acquired information to fully prepare me for the actual test. Kajanraj was patient by repeatedly teaching me safe and technical driving skills until they grew on me, all within two weeks. Without a doubt, I got value for my money and I wouldn't hesitate to refer friends and family to AA Driving school. Thanks Raj.”

“I had the privilege of experiencing an exceptional journey with AA Driving School, and I would like to express my profound appreciation, particularly for my driving instructor, Mr. Ayaaz Khan. My sincere gratitude for your outstanding instruction throughout my journey to obtaining my restricted license. Your expertise, patience, and dedication to teaching made all the difference in my learning experience. Your ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and understandable manner made me feel confident behind the wheel. You created a comfortable and supportive environment that allowed me to ask questions and learn at my own pace. Your attention to detail, emphasis on safety, and focus on good driving habits have left a lasting impression on me. Thanks to your guidance sir, I not only passed my driving test but also feel well-prepared and responsible as a new driver. Your passion for teaching and commitment to your students' success truly set you apart as an exceptional driving instructor. Once again, thank you, Mr. Ayaaz Khan, for being an awesome instructor and helping me achieve this milestone in my life. I would highly recommend your services to anyone seeking quality driving instruction.”

“AA and the instructor Jesudasan Raj was really helpful in helping me pass in the first instance. Raj is extremely talented and patient while teaching and will help you correct all mistakes systematically. Without him it would have been difficult for me to pass”

“I’ve had a horrible experience. I texted them a day before the class that I tested positive for COVID and I would rather reschedule to not put the instructor at risk. They told me it’s too late and I will be charged anyway. Absolutely ridiculous. The instructor was rude about it too. Avoid at all cost. I would never trust them again.”

“Mr Sohail Ayub is a really great instructor. I was a bit nervous when I have my first driving lesson, he was really patient and explained things very clearly. When I have questions, he didn’t mind to explain them slowly for more times. I gained confidence as a new driver and I found driving interesting and fun rather than scary. I look forward to the next driving lesson thanks to Mr Sohail Ayub. Highly recommend him as a driving instructor! Thanks a lot!”
