Why choose Geoff Capes Driving School in Glossop?

Ben Priestley from Glossop

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I had read so many good reviews on the website and on google

What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Having a instructor to put me at ease and give me confidence and Steve did just that.

How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
Learning to drive in my opinion was quite fun experience as it was the next step for me in gaining independence and not having to rely on others and Steve made it a blast.

How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Steve’s methods were really useful as we spent a few of those early driving lessons on the basics and repetition of those so that when I came onto the main roads I was a lot more confident and it helped me in the long run with a first time pass.

Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
I would highly recommended Steve to any learner out there as he was so calm and nice to from the minute I stepped in the car and that gave me a lot of reassurance and confidence in me being able to pass my driving. He’s methods are also very useful as well as it resulted in me getting a pass first time.

What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
Nothing everything was great

Becca Mellor from Glossop

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
Honestly, he was the only person that responded to my enquiries out of the 14 instructors I contacted. He responded to my email with a phone call and was very personable. I’m glad it worked out that he had space for me!

What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Someone willing to work with my crazy schedule of nurse shifts in a hospital that are different every week. I wouldn’t have been able to do a set time slot every week.

How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
My situation is a bit unique; I have been driving for ten years in another country but needed to pass a test here to get my UK license. Geoff worked to understand the gaps in my knowledge of UK driving and got me up to speed.

How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
He was clear, slow and methodical, and we always had a laugh!

Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Absolutely!
