Altrincham Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Really recommend Altrincham Driving School, my instructor Dan was really supportive throughout the whole process but most importantly gave me the independence to make mistakes that I could learned from whilst remaining safe on the road and I give him all the credit for my driving test pass.
Fantastic experience: Glen Argles was the perfect instructor for me I passed first time, made me feel comfortable and prepared with his patience and friendly attitude. His years of driving knowledge was ideal for me to become a safe and confident driver thank you!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Altrincham Driving School, and a massive thank you to my instructor, Dan, for being absolutely fantastic throughout my learning experience. From the start, Dan’s friendly, supportive, and easy-going nature made me feel completely at ease, which was exactly what I needed as a nervous learner. His laid-back teaching style was perfect, allowing me to build my confidence gradually without ever feeling pressured. Thanks to Dan’s expert guidance and patience, I was able to pass my test today on my first attempt with only two minors—something I honestly couldn’t have imagined when I first started learning. I’m so glad I chose Altrincham Driving School. If you’re looking for a top-notch instructor and a supportive learning experience, look no further. Thank you again, Dan!
Fantastic experience: I would definitely recommend Altrincham driving school! Dan has been a brilliant instructor for my daughter, calm, fun & flexible. She passed first time with no minors but more importantly, she’s developed into a great driver!!
Fantastic experience: Dan taught my son Kavi and he passed first time. Kavi was delighted to learn from Dan as he is so easy going and gave all the best advice and tips for getting through his test. The lessons were the highlight of his week and a lot of that was down to the human touch that Dan conveyed, showing interest in him and investing in him as a person. Kavi went into his test feeling confident and fully competent. Dan never put any pressure on amount of lessons and in fact recommended easing off the frequency when Kavi had to wait many months for his test. He guided us throughout the process. I would highly recommend Altrincham Driving School to everyone. I have also heard many positive stories and reviews of Dan’s colleague Glen. Many thanks

Fantastic experience: Both our children have had Dan as their driving instructor, both thought he was great and both passed first time!!
Fantastic experience: I had Teresa as my driving instructor and she is amazing! She kept me calm throughout lessons, we were able to just have friendly chat and it was not long until I felt completely confident and relaxed whilst driving. Also, really helped when I was nervous before my test and was so reassuring. Thank you again to Teresa for all of her support.
Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend the Altrincham Driving School more, I had lessons with Teresa, who is a patient, experienced, and excellent driving instructor. Her knowledge about all things driving (and about the test itself) is encyclopaedic; there wasn't a single question or issue that I had that she didn't know the answer to, or how to remedy. Also, her judgement is accurate, and I quickly learned to rely on it: she knew immediately how long I would need and when I was ready to take the test. Fantastic work!
Thanks for your kind words, Alistair.
Fantastic experience: My son had lessons with Dan and he was the perfect instructor for him, very friendly and a super communicator. Me and my son are very grateful for his help in getting my son to pass his driving test in a short period of time. Thank you Dan.

Thanks, George!
Fantastic experience: I had the pleasure of being taught to drive by Teresa. As a particularly nervous driver, I was immediately put at ease by Teresa’s calm and patient demeanour. I honestly thought I would never pluck up the courage to even do my driving test. However, not only did I do it, but I passed first time with only one minor! She is an excellent instructor and I could not recommend her enough. Not only is she brilliant at her job, she is so kind and personable and so will make you feel so comfortable even if you’re a nervy driver like I was.
Many thanks, Megan.

Savannah said he was great to learn with during the 3 hour lessons everyday Dave made them fun and ensured to take her to the roads where her test would be on so that she knew exactly what she would be doing. Couldn’t recommend more! Thank you!
Thanks Amanda
Fantastic experience: I had Teresa as my instructor, and she was so calm and patient with me throughout all my lessons with her. We were able to have friendly chats during my lessons and with me being bit of a nervous driver, Teresa was able to help me feel relaxed each time I drove and in my last few lessons I was comfortable and confident in my abilities. With just 31 hours of driving practice, I passed 1st time with 0 faults and I am so so proud of myself and thankful for having Teresa as my instructor!

Fantastic experience: The best instructor I could have ever asked for. Teresa is an absolutely amazing instructor who helped me stay calm and collected and pass 1st time. I had such a great experience with my lessons, I could have a nice chit chat and knew exactly what I needed to do to improve. Teresa was always calm and told me exactly what I needed to do to improve and ensure that I could pass. When the day came, I had a great hour before hand in which she helped calm My nerves and help me concentrate. Then when the test came I wasn’t half as nervous and my legs weren’t even shaking as I thought they would. Teresa is the best instructor you could ever ask for!

Many thanks, Jo!
Fantastic experience: I took lessons with Teresa. I was a nervous driver from the start and found control of the car difficult. Teresa was eternally patient and encouraging and allowed me to go at my own pace, whilst gently pushing me forward to the next stage of learning when it was helpful to my progress (I would have stayed on the side roads forever if it was up to me!). Communication was easy and everything ran smoothly from a logistical perspective. I cannot recommend Teresa highly enough to any new learners in Altrincham.
Fantastic experience: Dan was amazing, couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Taught me to drive well and got me through my test. Also very patient and flexible during Covid times.
Thanks, Meg!
