The best in the business – thanks Doug!

The best in the business! Thanks to Doug Walsh who helped me to pass! I’m 43 and it’s so hard to learn new things. I spent 2 years with another instructor, but earlier this year decided to try automatic and decided to try Geoff Capes. Through Doug’s patience and understanding and really clear way of communicating, today I passed! He is a huge asset to the business I am so thankful for this instructor and I would not hesitate to recommend! Thank you!

My instructor was Simon. An excellent instructor. He maintains high standards while remaining calm, patient, and supportive throughout the training. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a top-quality instructor.

Congratulations to Jordan Clifford-Townend of Stockport on passing his test with Zero Driving Faults on 2nd July 2026Jordan, July 2026

Recently passed my test after learning with Jonny! What an amazing experience from start to finish. Having previously started learning I was very nervous to have a new instructor but Jonny was absolutely brilliant! No question was ever silly and he was so calm and patient the lessons were amazing. He was so thorough when explaining everything he taught! I am so glad I went with Jonny for my lessons and passed 1st time! Would highly reccomend Jonny to anybody looking for lessons🙂 Thanks again Jonny!
