Why choose Geoff Capes Driving School in Manchester?

Joseph Lucy from Manchester

What was the MAIN reason for choosing Geoff Capes Driving School?
I was recommended Milan and Geoff Capes Driving School by my sister who was having driving lessons with Milan.

What OTHER factors were important to you when choosing your driving instructor / school?
Patience, guidance, and a car I can fit into!

How did learning to drive compare to what you expected?
I have had driving lessons previously with different driving instructors and no-one compared to Milan – I realised very quickly that I was with a professional who knew exactly what he was doing and how to get the best out of his students.

How did you find your instructor’s teaching methods?
Milan is wonderful – very patient with me (especially when making a few very stupid errors right before my test), and offered clear guidance and easy ways of remembering rules. He was always professional and friendly, and I couldn’t recommend him enough.

Would you recommend us to others and if so WHY?
Very professional organisation with excellent driving instructors.

What could we have done better to improve our customer service or enhance your learning experience with us?
