Good morning Carl, I was going to message you on the Total Drive but of course it had to be deleted so email it is! I just want to thank you so very much Carl for being you, your patience, calmness and experience is just incredible. You have now passed both my son's driving test first time each, giving them independence and the opportunity to be more free. I'm just so thankful for you Carl as without you I don't think they would of passed but more importantly they wouldn't of found just an more caring, calm and just extremely patient instructor that gives so much confidence to my son's abilities, telling them not to give up, telling them to practice but also not putting one once of pressure on them. I will always recommend you to every person with a child looking to learn to drive, because you give them the ability to believe in themselves as well as the independence they deserve. Thank you Carl from the bottom of my heart. Thank you. Dean & John's mum. I hope you enjoy that holiday in the Moho coming up. Relax and enjoy your time with your wife and dogs. Thank you Carl.

William's testimonial after passing his driving test with Alex I didn't believe I would ever say this but I will miss learning to drive. Lessons with Alex are laid back easy going and above all else, helpful. Driving is stressful and even more so when you have a giant L on the roof, Alex gets rid of all of that stress and makes driving an enjoyable experience. With every lesson I felt one step closer to my test and there wasn't a second where I thought I was wasting my money. Alex is as committed to the learner passing there test as the learner is and will do everything in the lessons to help achieve that goal. Alex is an outstanding instructor and evidence of this is his pass rates and waiting list for learners.

Paulina's testimonial after passing her Manual driving test with Alex Brookes at the first attempt with only 2 driving faults Alex is a great instructor .He tried to focus lessons on what I needed to improve on Also reassuring and very calm even when I was making silly mistakes. Now thanks to him I passed my test first time with only 2 driving faults I would recommend Alex to anyone who's looking for a patient instructor to do manual lessons , thankyou so much

Ethans kind works after passing his automatic driving test at the first attempt Carl Brookes is amazing! He helped me pass my practical driving test quicker then I ever imagined!! However keeping it very professional at all time's . If you make a mistake he does not get angry, he just tells you a much better way to do it. The lessons are really enjoyable and fun, never a boring lesson with Carl Brookes!
