He works across South Manchester and Cheshire, and the team use modern, air-conditioned cars including a Ford Focus, Volkswagen Polo, Volkswagen Golf and Kia Ceed, all with dual controls and strong safety features.

His teaching is all about patience, clear explanations and going at your pace, whether you are a complete beginner, brushing up existing skills or need support after a test failure. The school's 100% 5-star Google reviews and long list of first-time passes show why so many families trust Dan with teaching their sons and daughters to drive.

Posted on Mackenzie Tang 19 July 2023 Glen was very reassuring and helpful, he made sure to go over anything I was unsure of leading up to the test until I was confident in my ability. He is a great instructor and I will be recommending him to friends and family :)
