He gave some excellent reminders, great top tips and put me at ease throughout the whole process. I would thoroughly recommend using this company. Thank you DTW and thanks Richie.
Fantastic experience: Passed both my class 2 and my class 1 first time. I Was put through all my tests including theories and cpc no fuss. I had Richie both times he was absolutely fantastic and very clear with how to pass your test. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Really disappointed!!! Back in March I called up this centre to book in my class 2 He’s a great sales man said he could fit me in next week. I was promised 3 days training and my test on the Friday. Unfortunately I only had 2 days training and then failed my test due to undue hesitation on a busy stretch of road. All at the cost of £1300 I was then promised a retest! Baring in mind this was in March! I’m sat here writing this in July! He said at the time (March) there aren’t any tests available online until June. But cancellations come up weekly. Test have come up in the mean time but I still haven’t received one. He said some tests are in different areas from were they trained me in. (Outside Swansea) So it’s probably best I have my test where I was trained (Yes when you pay that sort of money it would be helpful)! When I questioned; why he didn’t book me in for a retest for June just after I failed in March he just talked at me making excuses. With my faith failing with this company I’ve had to book in with a different company at a cost of £1100 to finish what they started. I feel it was a complete waist of money and time going through this company! As I’ve been lead down the garden path…. they’ve been paid and I’m clearly not a priority. I feel that the next company I’ve booked into sound more professional and organised. Unfortunately for myself it’s going to cost me £2500 to get my class 2 in total including my theory…
Hi Liz, As a company we apologize that you feel this, however you was advised you would receive 3 days training, this includes the 3A reversing training/test and your going forward training, which you did receive. Your test was on April 1st, on the day you failed, we advised of shortages with examiners, however we did offer you a retest on 2 occasions which was not in our test center granted, but we would have got you familiar with the area before sending you on test, but you refused, so we also advised you to check the booking system for yourself, so you could see that we could not get the test's, it was out of our hands, and if you managed to book it we would happily help you further. But you refused again and chose to go elsewhere and we wish you the best of luck for your test on the 13th with Cross Hands Driving School. Once again we apologize that our remedy did not suit you and you felt the need to leave a negative review.
