Fantastic experience: Couldn’t thank Rhaumin enough for getting us over the line and passing my test , he makes lessons enjoyable and always had full confidence on me which really helped me out thanks again to GJM and especially Rom

Fantastic experience: Haven’t used him so take it with a grain of salt but was looking to do my c1 licence and saw a couple of recommendations on forums and he was also the cheapest price I found so

Fantastic experience: What can I say absolutely buzzing I am on the road from the help at GJM but mostly Dave.I have had nothing but had laughs and jokes with Dave on every driving lesson.I can’t fault Dave and the team at anything,driving lessons perfect and the app which you can follow which is all perfect and easy to follow.i would highly recommend these and especially Dave.Thankyou to the team at GJM and Dave especially

Fantastic experience: Thanks to GJM for an amazing pass for my son Jack, after just 6 lessons with Dave's amazing talent, would highly recommend to anyone

Fantastic experience: GJM have been fantastic in helping me pass my C1 first time round. I was lucky enough to have Dave as my instructor, whose instruction was second to none. He made me feel very relaxed throughout the whole process and more importantly prepared for my practical tests. 5 stars for Dave and the GJM team!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic communication from Gregor and Kerry from the start. The tuition was excellent, couldn’t have been better prepared for the C1 test and passed first time. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks guys

Fantastic experience: Thank you Gregor & Dave at GJM for helping me pass first time and help me take the test. I had a driving test date within a month and I had no instructor at the time until I got into contact with them. I really do recommend, they are a well organised group and will teach you everything you need to know about driving.

Fantastic experience: couldn’t recommend GJM enough best at what they do, if you get Dave you will be passing in no time

Fantastic experience: Excellent service thanks to Greg for my first lesson and special thanks to Rhaumin for his expert tuition .

Fantastic experience: Thank you to Raumin for getting Freddie through his driving test so quickly and first time! I would highly recommend GJM to anybody, and will definitely be back when it is my daughters turn to learn.

Fantastic experience: Had the pleasure of doing the 12 hour C1 (ambulance) course with Dave. From the very start Dave was very down to earth which alleviated any nerves I had prior to beginning. The level of teaching has been very high throughout my course. Dave has been perfect in giving me tips over time to reinforce my skills ready for my practical test. If you're looking for a laid back professional and experienced teaching style in a positive environment this is the course for you. I should also commend the help with the admin side of things from Kerry and Gregor. Nearly everything was taken care of from their end allowing me to focus on my studies and to just focus on the tests. I can't really explain in words how valuable and appreciative I am in regards to what they've done for me. Thanks for everything.

Fantastic experience: I was looking for a company to help me obtain my C1 entitlement, and I’m glad I chose GJM. The entire team was fantastic. The administration staff accommodated my schedule and clearly outlined the steps I needed to take. My driving instructor, Gregor, was outstanding; he adapted his teaching style to help me achieve the best results. He even rebooked my test in a more familiar area to help me feel at ease, covering the cost from his own pocket. I also briefly met the other staff members, and they were equally welcoming and a credit to the company. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I would definitely recommend GJM to anyone looking to obtain a C1 entitlement.

Fantastic experience: I could not thank GJM enough for the teaching and support they have given me. Gregor took me on the first day and made me feel really comfortable driving within the first 30 minutes - lots of encouragement and laughs throughout the day. I then went out with Dave on the second day and Dave was excellent at giving me feedback and encouragement throughout the day. I was extremely anxious about my exam but Gregor and Dave made me feel really at ease and thanks to their support I passed first time!! Could not thank them enough. The communication before my course was 10/10 and the encouragement from Kerry for my theory was amazing. I could not have done it without these guys! 100% recommend for your driving courses. Thank you team!!!

Fantastic experience: My instructor Dave was amazing. passed easy with him and the company a big thank you to GJM

Fantastic experience: I decided to complete my C1 lessons with GJM School of Motoring as they came highly recommended, and I can see why. I was quite nervous to start my C1 lessons but everything was made easy from start to finish. I completed a 2 day course with Gregor and Dave. Both instructors were so friendly, professional and incredibly easy to get along with. Most of my lessons were spent laughing. I cannot thank them enough for their reassurance and for helping me pass first time!!

Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with this driving school. Had Bethany as my driving instructor really nice person, my driving has improved so much in the 7 weeks I had her! Made me so much more confident in my driving. Couldnt recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: I definitely recommend it to everyon❕ An individual approach to students. Great knowledge, patience and understanding. After bad experiences with other instructors, I found GJM. I was driving in a comfortable atmosphere and building self-confidence, I got a lot of great lessons and tips from my driving instructor, that was my key to passing my driving test the first time. Thank you so much✨

Fantastic experience: Massive thanks to Gregor and Dave, I had an issue with my licence which left me needing to take my category B test again, Gregor moved heaven and earth to fit me into a 10 hour course followed immediately by my test, Dave was the perfect instructor, funny but informative, making me feel relaxed instantly! Passed with flying colours, I’d recommend GJM school of motoring to anyone, thanks again guys!

Fantastic experience: I have used GJM SoM to get our son and also one of our employees through the driving test process. Gregor and his team were highly recommended to me and he has surpassed my expectations. His team are very professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them myself. Thank you Gregor for your excellent customer service

Fantastic experience: Read for all prospective paramedics out there - To whoever comes across my review, all I can say is that the treatment and professionalism that is provided at GJM is simply incredible. Throughout the whole process of learning I felt that communication has been thorough throughout and the support that the team brings to you as a learner is just world class. I had unfortunately had a horrific experience with my previous driving school in which I was left with an abusive, deranged and very unhappy person as my c1 instructor which created a toxic and a unnecessary stressful environment to my learning which resulted in my failing of my first attempt at the exam However, when consulting with GJM with the help of my dad. The team led by Gregor and my hero of an instructor Dave all put me at ease. It feels like family here, and as soon as you are in the driver seat, a wave of calmness surrounds you when Dave smiles and cracks a joke, and even though he knows how to tell a good story he will watch and harness your ability, tweaking you slowly until you are the best driver you can possibly be. All I can say is choose GJM - I guarantee you will have a delightful experience if not better than I have had, and it’s only just a shame that the experience went by so quickly. Thank you GJM Especially Dave - you helped me out of a tough spot and allowed me to move forward, I couldn’t have done it without you !!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely fab service from beginning to end !! Kerry and Dave thank you so so much for all your help and guidance! Dave thank you so much for the past 2 days ! I have throughly enjoyed my time with you. I haven’t not laughed so much for ages ! Perfect 10/10 Thank you all :)

Fantastic experience: What can I say, GJM and more specifically Dave have been absolutely amazing. I chose to do the 2 day course and I had nothing but laughs and banter with Dave the whole time, while he maintained a professional manor. He helped me tidy up my bad driving habits which I had collected over the 8 years I have been driving and helped me in achieving a pass on my practical driving. I traveled around 40mins which was worth it for the real feel of an ambulance to take my test in, while having a great instructor and the total drive app making it all easy to track and follow. Thank you again Gregor, Dave and team!

Fantastic experience: I decided to do my c1 with this company as it was highly recommended by many people. The price was also a lot cheaper compared to other companies I looked into. Gregor and the team were extremely welcoming and immediately put my nerves at ease. Thank you for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself, and for your continuous patience and encouragement :)

Fantastic experience: Used GJM for a driving course. From start to finish everything was extremely easy via Kerry in the office. Nothing was too much trouble when I needed to rearrange. Within 5minutes of driving a new vehicle I felt so comfortable and at ease with the amazing Dave, who helped me so so much. Done my second test with Gregor who was also amazing. Could not recommend this company enough. Honestly felt like I was dealing with friends when on my course, and I actually learnt a lot too!! Amazing team at GJM!

Fantastic experience: I can not begin to tell you how good GJM have been. From initial enquiries to passing my test, every stage was a pleasure. Dave was an outstanding instructor, made me feel at ease from the minute I pulled up in the car park and his instruction was second to none. The company was understanding of my time restraints and nothing was too much trouble. I am sorry I don’t need to go back again now. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: If you need a driving test contact GJM to use their booking service. Really good service and much quicker than going direct.

Fantastic experience: Dave was brilliant! I felt nervous but he put me at ease. He was patient and helped to improve my confidence. I 100% recommend GJM.

Fantastic experience: I passed my test today 23rd September after having lessons with beth who helped me boost my confidence and was so supportive throughout my lessons. Thankyou so much!

Fantastic experience: I want to thank the entire company so much for helping me pass first time at St Helens , I also want to the thank my instructor Beth for helping me reach this achievement. Would highly recommend!!!

Fantastic experience: I did a 2 day course with GJM, from start to finish it was incredible, from arranging lessons to doing the test. My instructor Dave was phenomenal and extremely friendly. He really put me at ease and in general is a lovely person to work with. All food and refreshments were provided throughout the course. I passed first time and am extremely grateful for the really positive experience with GJM, especially Dave. Thankyou all

Fantastic experience: Fantastic company to get your C1 driving done! Kerry was very helpful and quick when I first enquired about the course, through to booking it. Dave, my instructor was absolutely amazing. Made me feel really relaxed and like I had known him for ages and not just 2 days! Thanks again

Fantastic experience: Couldn't praise Dave and everybody at GJM School of Motoring enough! They turned what I expected would be a really stressful experience into and absolute joy. Dave was so reassuring, put you totally at ease, but also made sure you learnt the skills needed to pass your test. 100% recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had the best experience using GJM to gain my C1 license! I cannot thank the staff enough for their patience, kindness and help throughout the whole process. Big shoutout to Dave who made me go from dreading driving lessons to enjoying them. He taught me everything I could possibly need to know whilst having a laugh at the same time. I am very grateful to have had such an amazing instructor whose kindness and genuineness made my experience really positive. I cannot thank him enough. I highly recommend this company, I have had the most amazing experience. Thank you all!

Fantastic experience: The staff at GJM were amazing from my first contact with them. The process was efficient and affordable! I was nervous about doing lessons and a test but Dave put me at ease straight away. He is a professional and friendly instructor, as well as being an expert in his field. I passed first time and I am so happy that I chose GJM!

Fantastic experience: Excellent throughout the booking process and the C1 lesson itself was fantastic. Passed first time with GJM and would recommend them without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: GJM made my experience of learning to drive an ambulance stress-free and enjoyable. Dave is very friendly and made me feel relaxed as soon as I met him, he is easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour. Thanks Dave and GJM for a great experience

Fantastic experience: Well what can I say the best experience with GJM. Dave is amazing at what he does he is so friendly and easy to get along with and made me feel relaxed straight away we got along like we’d known each other forever. I’m going to really miss the lessons. Kerry and Gregor are fantastic from the get go, keeping in touch sorting the details out which made getting my C1 an easy straight forward experience. Recommend these guys to everyone needing their C1 the best out there by far!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed my c1 first time with Dave. If you want to use a company that you feel valued and not just see the pound signs then this is the one. I rang several different places when wanting quotes in obtaining the c1 as yes it can be quite costly and Kerry is the only one who actually made me want to book with the company. I’m soo glad I did. Dave is amazing and such a down to earth guy He put me at ease within minutes of driving and the time flew by. Thank you for helping me get to the next stage in my career ☺️

Fantastic experience: Jenna really did everything to help me get my test booked I appreciate it so much I recommend this Company :)

Fantastic experience: Dave at GJM was absolutely amazing. Top lad, who is a brilliant teacher. He makes you feel so welcome, calm and relaxed, which made all the difference. I would highly recommend!! The GJM team are a great welcoming bunch, very pleased with the treatment I received and my first time pass!

Fantastic experience: Thank you so much for making my C1 driving test feel like a breeze. Right from the start Gregor and the team have been fantastic; from the booking process, the support and finally the day in the van with Dave. Dave's approach to teaching is absolutely spot on. He made me feel calm and relaxed which is exactly what you need in the lead up to your test. GJM is definitely recommended a million times over by me. They are by far the cheapest around by cost, but not by standards. Thank you, thank you and thank you again

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to Dave, Gregor and the team at GJM School Of Motoring, the support during my theory test, lessons and driving test has been constant. Dave (my instructor) has been amazing the past 2 days of lessons, made me feel at ease and provided a safe space to fix bad habits whilst having a good laugh! Dave’s ability to prepare students for the test was fantastic and made sure no stone was left unturned! He is a credit to the team! The app provided with the theory test is a great tool, easy to use and had all topics to help me prepare for my theory test. The team are well and truly on the students side and will do anything to ensure we have the best experience and the best outcome. With such an amazing team and prices that no one can refuse, I can’t recommend GJM highly enough. Thank you !!

Fantastic experience: I couldn't recommend GJM School of Motoring more! The booking process through to the help and guidance for both my C1 theory and practical tests was fantastic. Kerry organised both my tests and always updated me with relevant information and timings. Everything was available to see in their easy to use and well thought app. Having Dave as an instructor was great, he put me at ease immediately and through our full day together taught me step by step so to not overwhelm me. He corrected me where necessary and gave me great pointers to work out to ensure I passed the practical which I did on first attempt thanks to him! If you're looking to pass first time then GJM School of Motoring are the ones to make to happen.

Fantastic experience: Just completed my C1 with this company, I had lessons with the, and they organised both my practical driving exams. From dealing with Kerry from the start, Dave tutoring me, the people here are fantastic. I used a previous company before them, and can honestly say the level of support was recognisable. Would honestly highly recommend. Thanks again Guys.

Fantastic experience: I can't recommend GJM enough for my c1, from the booking process to the test everything was seamless. Gregor was always at the end of a txt when needing help with my theory and Dave my instructor couldn't have been more friendly and professional it was a pleasure to learn from you for 2 whole days thankyou to the whole team

Fantastic experience: Just wanted to say a massive thank you to GJM and Dave for my experience yesterday. I passed with the 1 day course and the instructor Dave made me feel very comfortable and confident throughout the whole day. I will 100% be recommending GJM to anyone looking to complete their C1 course. Alivia x

Fantastic experience: I've had a fantastic experience using GJM to gain my C1. Prior to starting Gregor provided me with access to a really useful app to help towards completing my LGV theory tests, despite having not booked them through GJM and gave me some great advise about the best package for me. I opted for a two day package which included both the off road manoeuvre test and the full road test. Dave was my instructor for the two days and his approach to the course was excellent, made me feel very comfortable in the vehicle very quickly and was a great laugh. Dave's ability to prepare you for the tests is second to none and having passed first time I think the results speak for themselves. Finally GJM were by far the cheapest C1 provider I could find in Greater Manchester. I 100% would recommend GJM to anyone looking to complete their C1 course.

Fantastic experience: I did the 1 day driving course for my c1 license and I cannot thank Dave enough! From start to finish he was absolutely amazing and made me feel at ease as soon as I stepped foot onto the vehicle. He really helped my confidence and took his time to talk through everything I needed to know for my test. Dave it was a pleasure, I can’t thank you enough.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend GJM School of Motoring. Gregor’s approach and kind nature towards our son has been exceptional. He passed in just a few months and couldn’t be happier. As a business GJM is forward thinking, making everything easy for the parent and learner with a great App for ease of making payments and providing useful resources, including theory learning and practice. Gregor also took the stress and hassle out of booking the actual test which was greatly appreciated. We never forget our driving instructor and our son will remember you for all the right reasons Gregor. Our daughter will be with you in a few years! Thanks for everything, Andrea & Steve.

Fantastic experience: Well, what can I say. Dave is a great instructor and great to have a laugh with, i would recommend Dave to anyone. Thanks again Dave for passing my through my course

Fantastic experience: 10/10 service really nice instructors and very experienced at teaching

Fantastic experience: Within, my experience from starting my lessons all the way throughout until ending them. Gregor was calm, patient and has a sense of humour, which eased the tension of things I didn’t know with driving. As Gregor trusted my ability to drive, Which made me feel comfortable, as he would patiently wait as I learned new skills, and completed different manoeuvres.

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to Dave and GJM for helping me get ready to pass my C1.

Fantastic experience: I booked my C1 driving test, and the support I received from GJM throughout the booking process for both the theory and practical tests was Brilliant. A special thank you to my instructor, Dave. He truly made the driving experience outstanding and is a remarkable asset to the company.

Fantastic experience: Great team, went with these and everything about the process was so helpful, from using their theory test app and actually driving on the road, hats off to every single one of them, the tutor Dave was brilliant, had a great time just being in his company, very down to earth people and could get on with anyone

Fantastic experience: Massive thank you to GJM and Dave for all the support, guidance and fun I had while passing my C1! I signed up for their 1 day course and I was slightly apprehensive it wouldn’t be enough time, but with Dave’s help and advice I managed to pass my test first time, just 5 hours after getting into the vehicle! Big thank you to Dave for believing in me and getting me test ready as quickly as he did! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Also, after researching GJM were also the cheapest option I could find in the North West area, great prices and top quality instructors and service, cannot complain!

Fantastic experience: Dave made me feel comfortable the second I met him! He was an excellent teacher and provided me with all the essential knowledge and made me feel ready to go from day 1! Passed first time and can’t thank him and the team enough!

Fantastic experience: I was very nervous about taking my C1 test and driving hours but I had no reason to worry. As soon as I arrived, I was greeted by Dave who was my instructor for the 2 day course. He was so friendly and put me at ease instantly. He’s an amazing instructor and with his help, I was able to pass at the first attempt. Amazing company with welcoming and friendly staff. So glad I chose them to go with as I don’t feel I would have got this treatment elsewhere. Truly grateful to Dave on calming my nerves and helping me pass. Thanks again.

Fantastic experience: Absolutely brilliant company to learn with from start to finish. Instructor Dave made me feel at ease and got me through the test with flying colours. We worked on areas that needed working on and it all paid off in the test. Would highly recommend GJM To anyone. Thank you

Fantastic experience: I completed my 1 day C1 licence with the amazing Dave. He made me feel calm and relaxed from the minute we met to the very end. Pointed out any areas I needed improvement making sure I went into my test knowing everything I needed from possible questions they may ask to the little things they may look for. Couldn't have asked for a better instructor or company to take my C1 test with. Staff in the office made booking everything very easy. Thank you again.

Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Dave enough for all his help & support the last few days & for putting me at ease through it all. ☺️

Fantastic experience: Gregor at GJM has now taught 2 of my 3 boys to drive and will absolutley be using him for my youngest. My 17 year old passed this week after just 4 and half months of learning with Gregor. I doubted he was ready. Gregor assured me he was, when in reality he could have just taken money for more lessons. Honest, reliable and excellent at what they do. Definitley recommend.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic Service, Gregor and his team were all fantastic. They really go above and beyond for all. Keep up the great work guys and girls. Cannot recommend enough.. five stars all the way

Fantastic experience: I initially approached a company closer to my home to enquire about C1 testing. Once completing the initial driving assessment, the company stated I only needed a couple of hours to get me up to test standard. However, the company wanted to charge me well over £1,000 for a couple of days training as this was all the package they provided. I was pointed in the direction of Gregor at GJM by a colleague, and although it meant a 50 minute drive to his centre from my home in Morecambe, I'm glad I did. I cannot recommend his services enough. He has tailored his packages for people like myself who are entering a career in the ambulance service to gain the C1 in the most convenient, and cost effective way possible. Access to the theory practice and hazard perception app, and all tests booked by GJM meant a seamless and easy process to gaining the pass. Top bloke. Top company, and even gave me a replacement daytime running bulb for my car!! A+++++

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Gregor and GJM School of Motoring. I needed a C1 licence for driving a motorhome and after some research decided on GJM because of their flexible approach and well deserved reviews.

Fantastic experience: Gregor was a brilliant instructor. He made me feel at ease and we worked together to improve the areas that I struggled with until I boxed them off one by one and felt confident. I was able to pass first time and I couldn’t have done it without him. His prices are amazing and he is there for his pupils. Thank you very much.

Fantastic experience: I had callum as an instructor and he was amazing, he’s very calm and eased my nerves from beginning to the end. i had 0 driving experience and he was really great throughout the whole journey. highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Great instructors who find the time to suit you the best way they can, great feedback all round 5⭐️ motoring school

Fantastic experience: I completed the 2 day C1 course with GJM and the whole experience was so positive. Gregor was fantastic, very knowledgeable and a cracking sense of humour, which really made the hours of driving fly. He gave sound advice as to which parts of my driving needed tweaking after several years of bad habit build up. Thanks to Gregor, I passed my C1 driving test first time. I would highly recommend him and his team to anyone looking to either start driving or complete additional driving training! Thank you again for making the process so easy!

Fantastic experience: Did my lessons with Beth at Gjm and the best thing I did, she calmed my nerves and was so supportive all the way and believed in me much more than I did myself. She built my confidence up and helped me achieve my pass with only 2 minors right at the end in February. I have no faults with this company always on time always there through the app To update and answer any questions you may have and completely understanding and patient with everything. 5 star service Thanks again Gjm

Fantastic experience: If they made me drive they can make anyone , honestly the best people ive worked so far , explaning everything , getting tests quick , and most important everything they said in the lessons made sense to me !

Fantastic experience: Strongly recommend!! They are extremely patient and really good instructors! Thanks to them I now drive with confidence ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Gregor and his team a million times over. I originally did my lessons with Gregor in the Summer 2019 and within a matter of 11 short weeks Gregor helped me MASSIVELY gain my confidence to be back driving behind the wheel (after having a few years away) and pass my practical. Massive thank you to Gregor for all his help. Definitely a friend for life. I even still ask occasionally for driving advice now nearly 5 years later

Fantastic experience: Had the loveliest experience with Gregor and Adam, gaining my C1. They both had the utmost patience for me and my stressing, and I couldn't be more grateful for them. The loveliest and most helpful people ever. If I had to do it all over again, I'd choose GJM every single time. Learn with them and you won't regret it!!

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend GJM School of Motoring for obtaining your C1 license. Initially, I was completely clueless about where to begin with the process of acquiring my C1 license, as I found the information online very confusing. However, I stumbled upon GJM Motoring and decided to give them a chance, despite my initial skepticism as they where cheapest compared to other options in my area they have exceed my expectations. From the very beginning, they have proven to be exceptionally helpful and supportive. Their teaching methods, organization, and support have put me at ease throughout the entire process. Although I have been driving for a few years, I opted for the 2-day course, and I am extremely grateful that I did. The two days allowed ample time to focus on the areas where I was struggling without feeling rushed. Gregor, my instructor, guided me every step of the way, and thanks to his guidance, I passed my test on the first attempt. I wholeheartedly recommend GJM School of Motoring

Fantastic experience: Medical/theory and 2 Day C1 course completed. Process couldn’t have been made easier Gregor and the team always at hand to help and made the experience enjoyable. Such great people and company. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I completed a one day C1 course with Gregor and the service and standard he provided were second to none! He was calm and welcoming whilst remaining extremely knowledgable and reassuring. He was also fantastic in the lead up and when getting ready for my theory test. Always happy to work around me and the resources he shared were fantastic. I felt nothing but confidence after booking with GJM. Second to none!

Fantastic experience: Great people and instructors. Beth is absolutely lovely. Highly recommend GJM. My son passed his driving test first time. Couldn't be happier ☺️

Fantastic experience: Great service from Gregor and his team for my son who passed his test with them. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them and will be using again for my daughter.

Fantastic experience: Exactly one year ago Camerons journey started with GJM as we got him lessons for his birthday after much perseverance and patience with Cameron, Gregor managed to secure him a test on his 18th Birthday and he has passed, great examiners and great experience now onto pass plus.

Fantastic experience: I’d felt very nervous after not driving for over 4 years but GJm gave me a very helpful refresher course that massively help settle myself, thanks guys!

Fantastic experience: Absolute best prices in the whole driver training field / amazing driving instructor and owner. Vehicle was easy to train in. Really good at putting nerves at easy and through good training techniques managed to get a 3a and 3b test all in 1 day when it was my first time driving a c1 vehicle. Thanks Gregor and Adam!

Fantastic experience: Gregor helped me with any questions relating to my C1 theory and test. Adam equally helped iron out any issues and give me the knowledge to pass. Thanks

Fantastic experience: Adam and Gregor helped me completed my c1 licence this week. Brilliant from start to finish.
