What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I had read all the great reviews on the website and the school had a reputable name
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Reputation and reviews. Availability and communication
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
Well I could already drive as such however I had about 30 driving lessons with a different instructor previously so I was somewhat nervous and apprehensive but it went much better than I anticipated because of how Milan put me at ease and encouraged me and grew my confidence.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
I found them superior to any I’d endured before. I loved the way that I’d have to do things 4/5 times correctly before I was allowed to carry on. This guaranteed that I mastered a manoeuvre or task and was confident enough to carry it out in my test.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Because there was no pressure ever put on me. No judgment. Always happy positive feedback. I got to know my instructor well in the short time I spent with him which made me feel extremely comfortable. Very flexible and good value.

How happy were you with our overall service? : 5
What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
After Covid I really struggled to find any instructors with capacity to take on new students, or they required me to commit to weekly same time/day lessons, which as a shift worker would have been impossible. Geoff Capes Driving School was extremely quick to respond to my enquiry and very swiftly put me in touch with an instructor in my area. My instructor was happy to be flexible and accommodating with regards to lesson times/days and confirmed I could start driving lessons right away Lesson pricing was also extremely reasonable considering the high standard of teaching and resources for students.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Reliability- I had had a previous instructor who cancelled regularly- leaving weeks between lessons.
Louise never cancelled a lesson in the 8 months she was teaching me, and she was able to facilitate 1-2 hours of teaching every week.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
To begin with I was a nervous learner- a previous car accident had deterred me from learning for many years. Louise was extremely understanding, calm and patient- which made my learning experience 100% better than I imagined it would be. I very quickly began to enjoy my lessons and driving!
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Louise is an extremely effective teacher.
We began driving lessons by discussing clear aims / targets- this helped ensure my lessons were always productive.
Louise’s methodical approach to teaching really suited me. Previous instructors I’d had unfortunately knocked my confidence by expecting too much too soon. This was not the case with Louise- we worked from more simple skills and scenarios, ensuring I was confident, before moving on to more complex situations. She was patient, calm and put me at ease.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Without a doubt.
What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
Absolutely nothing ! I was satisfied throughout my entire learning experience, and I absolutely can’t fault the service provided.
I can’t thank you enough Louise!

How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
It was a lot quicker than I expected! I only started my driving lessons in December 2021 and I passed my test in June 2022.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
I honestly have nothing but nice things to say about Milan. He was very calm and composed all the time. He wouldn’t take no and can’t as an excuse and push you to where he thinks you are. There were a lot of times I felt nervous and didn’t want to do certain things, but Milan’s belief and experience helped me push through the anxiety and I was able to achieve things in a lot less time than I thought I could. His knowledge of driving is second to none and I’ve already told a hand full of my friends and family to use Geoff Capes Driving School and also ask for Milan!
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
1000% I already had before I even passed.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I came to Geoff Capes Driving School as it was recommended to me by family and friends.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I had already heard great things about your instructor Steve because my husband also studied with him.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
I also had a bit of a deadline because I’m currently pregnant with our first child. Steve was able to fit me into schedule very quickly to start preparing for a driving test well before my due date.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
I have been driving for a long time but am new to UK roads. I was very jittery about driving here, but Steve put my mind at ease on the left-hand side of the road.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Steve is a great instructor!! Steve prepared me very well for all of the details of driving in the UK. I had a bad habit of riding the clutch, but Steve patiently guided me to trust the clutch and ease off it. He also taught me to use the handbrake more effectively, which is not as common where I first learned to drive. On top of that, he was a pro at helping build my confidence in “meeting situations” on narrow roads and when going through roundabouts. His car is also really fantastic for learning — very easy to drive. He showed me all the usual places where examiners take you in Buxton. By the day of the test, I felt very comfortable with the roads there and felt ready.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
I passed on my first attempt — at nearly 30 weeks pregnant! I cannot recommend this school highly enough. Not only do I now have a UK driving licence, I also feel more confident driving around with our baby in the backseat.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I lost a lot of confidence in my driving abilities at the start of 2020 when the 1st lockdown happened. My theory test had then expired during that time, which also meant I had to re-book again.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I wanted a local driving school and Geoff Capes had great reviews and customer feedback!
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Flexibility and experience with brand new drivers who were nervous to start driving. I was very anxious to start driving after I was involved in a car accident a few years ago. When I plucked up the courage to start lessons, an instructor who was patient was very important for me.
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
It took me a while to get to grips with the basics but once I did, I really enjoyed it! My driving instructor really put me at ease and allowed me to go at my own pace. I went from dreadingdriving lessons at the start to really looking forward to them.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
My instructor Louise was very patient and friendly and talked through different approaches when it was taking me a while to understand. She made me feel very relaxed while driving and gave me great ways to remember things! When we had covered everything I felt like it was just a case of practising everything and I could often highlight the things I felt less confident in.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Geoff Capes is great in helping you to find the driving instructor who’s teaching methods work for you as I think everyone learns differently. There was great flexibility if my availability changed and they work to make you feel confident behind the wheel.
What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
Nothing at all! I’ve had a wonderful experience with Geoff Capes Driving School and the only issues I’ve had have been delays in booking tests due to Covid.

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I had heard the name before.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
The most important thing to me was that I felt comfortable with my driving instructor as I don’t learn if I’m not comfortable!
How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
I thought it would be really hard to learn to drive and that it would take forever, it really didn’t and once you know the basics everything else just follows.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
My instructor was always calm and I never felt I couldn’t ask something even if I’d asked 10 times before! At the start of every driving lesson he asked me what I would like to do so I never felt I had a pointless lesson or that I didn’t learn anything.
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
I would recommend Milan as he’s a really good instructor and he helped me pass first time!

I was recommended Ian by a friend who works with his wife. I needed someone who could teach me automatic as I had tried manual and it just wasn’t for me.
What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
I needed someone who had patience, was tough but not too tough and would explain things to me in a way I could understand.

It was a lot easier than I expected. Once I got my bearings of the car.
How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
What can I say Ian is the best instructor around Stockport. He was so good with me. His explanations of how to do things really stick in your head. The best advice he game me was to talk yourself through the manoeuvres, it’s really does help. He is firm but very fair. I could honestly not have done it with out the support from Ian. So, a huge thank you
Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
100% would recommend. I have a friend who is already set up with Ian as she seen how well I progressed with him.

Mian was very methodical and took things at a pace I was comfortable with.

I would highly recommend him as an instructor as he has a very understanding and patient approach. He is also very good at explaining things so you can learn new techniques easily.
Mian was also extremely consistent always turning up on time and never missing a lesson.
