Fantastic experience: I highly recommend John as a driving instructor. He’s incredibly patient and calm, and focuses on teaching practical driving skills, not just how to pass the test. Thanks to his guidance I was able to pass quickly and feel confident on the road. Thank you John for all your help!
Thanks for you glowing review Emma, pleased you passed today with just 2 minor faults
Fantastic experience: John taught me how to drive when I was ready to give up! I was the most Nervous driver but he absolutely put Me at ease and was such a wonderful person inside and out too! Absolutely would recommend him to anyone who’s thinking of giving up and throwing in the towel! Don’t! Ask for Johns help! I passed first time and haven’t looked back. Thanks again John!
Thank you Abbie for such kind words.! Hope your doing well and enjoying driving
Fantastic experience: I was left without instructor by other driving school based in Greengates. Saj accepted me as a learner with a short notice and quickly pinpointed areas in need of improvement. I have received top quality lessons which led me to pass on my 1st attempt. I also feel very confident to drive on my own after passing the exam. Thank you! Pat
Thanks for your feedback pat. Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: John taught me to drive in 2019, he is wonderful, jolly and has the patience of an absolute saint. I had many instructors before him who were nowhere near as amazing as John and if it weren’t for him I still would not be driving today! Thankyou
Thanks Laura didn't realise I am wonderful and jolly and apparently amazing lol however thanks for pointing that out lol Hope your well

Fantastic experience: John is an amazing instructor and helped me with my driving so much. He is so calm, clear and helpful, especially if you are an anxious driver. I would recommend booking with John 100%. I went from being an anxious driver to being confident and passing first time with only one minor fault, all thanks to John. Thank you!
Thanks for your glowing review Amber and hope your enjoying the freedom of the open road .
Fantastic experience: John is a very calm, knowledgeable instructor that instantly puts you at ease. I was a very anxious learner, but he teaches you at your pace, ensures you know all the rules of the road and are driving test ready! In his words 'its just driving' you've got this! Would highly recommend them AND I passed my test first time!!!
Thanks for your wonderful review Valerie very much appreciated and glad you enjoyed your driving lessons
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test just over 2 years ago now with John. He was excellent, so patient and calm with me. Would highly recommend John and the rest of the team to anyone looking to start driving!
Many thanks Freya hope you are well and enjoying the freedom of driving!
Fantastic experience: I passed with John over 15 year ago still recommend him to people now
Wow 15 years already thanks for your review and keep them recommendations coming
Fantastic experience: After many many years of attempting to learn to drive but stopping and starting due to nerves I need say a great big thank you, especially to my instructor Saj. Saj was so kind and patient, putting me completely at ease and helped me to build my confidence. I passed first time and could never have achieved this without him! Thank you so much
Thanks so much for your glowing review Emma. I'll pass it on to Saj!
Fantastic experience: My driving instructor was John from Greengates Automatic. He made me feel very comfortable as I was nervous about driving! I passed my test within 7 months. John was very positive on the day of my test whereas I wasn’t. But he made me feel at ease and was absolutely brilliant through and through. Thank you so much for getting me through my lessons and my test! I will definitely recommend Greengates automatic to any one I can!
Thanks for your brilliant review Lauren and hope your driving is going well . Thank you
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend enough! I started my driving lessons years ago with another company and I felt so anxious constantly so stopped doing them. Then my friend found Greengates automatic online so I decided to restart. John really made me feel at ease and I passed that same year. Now whenever I know anyone wants lesson I always recommend Greengates automatic. I couldn’t imagine doing lessons else were.
Many thanks Sofie keep them recommendations coming lol Thank you!
Negative experience: Lack of communication and what's worse they like to share your private messages on publick groups like helping hands bradford. Strongly don't recommend
Fantastic experience: Passed with these guys last year in Feb 2! Instructors here make you feel confident and go through things , as a dyslexic and dyspraxic person learning to drive either manual or auto is easy can say with with confidence that the instructors here are amazing helped me so much and we got.the pass , year later definitely better since those learner days and still getting there
Thanks for your glowing review Sami glad you chose to use Greengates automatic driving school John
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. I felt well prepared for everything that came up on my test because we'd covered it all during lessons.
Thanks for your glowing review James Pleased you valued your experience with Greengates automatic
Fantastic experience: John is the BEST instructor going! Previously had lessons with someone else where I was just wasting money. Not with John - passed first time and nothing but praise to say! Honestly the best you will get!! Always on time and would provide reason as to why things need to be done etc.
Thanks for your glowing review Chloe Take care and be safe on the roads.
Fantastic experience: Passed FIRST time thanks to my most amazing instructor Adil at Greengates Automatic Driving School. I have had a number of instructors in the past that I would not recommend however I could not recommend Adil enough. Made me feel at ease and improved my confidence almost immediately with driving and could not be more grateful of my experience with him. Thank you so much Adil and i highly recommend him to anyone looking for an auto instructor around Bradford!! 5 STAR ***** plus
Thanks for your wonderful review Rachel I'll pass that on to Adil now and congratulations on your first time pass. John
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend as a nervous driver, my instructor has given me so much confidence and the lessons are very relaxed. I’ve gone from dreading the thought of driving to looking forward to my lessons and enjoying them every week. I have now passed my test with only 3 minors!
Thanks for your brilliant 5 star review Ellis
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with Greengates Automatic and passed first time in July. My instructor was really flexible, accommodating and patient. I’ve already recommended to a few friends looking to start their lessons.
Thanks for your brilliant review Yvette. Take care and enjoy your driving.
Negative experience: Driving instructor who pushes out into main road, abuses and dangerously accelerates parallel when only one lane. Perfect driving - not
Thanks for your feedback Rosy . However we do feel that a road traffic incident doesn't reflect on our companies teaching or ethics.! Thanks John
Fantastic experience: After seing all the positive reviews about John, I definitely agree as he is a brilliant, calm, friendly instructor and I highly recommend him for taking lessons! ☺️ John is always on time to lessons and never uses his phone whilst on lessons.
Thanks for the 5 star review Tamara Much appreciated '

Thanks for your brilliant review Hasina so glad you enjoyed your experience with us at Greengates Automatic.
Fantastic experience: Great teacher
Cheers steve
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time yesterday with 0 faults - all thanks to John! Having tried a couple of different instructors previously & not enjoying the experience (manual), I thought I would try Automatic. Thankfully, I came across Greengates Automatic... John was my instructor & has been fantastic during every lesson... always on time, reliable & focused on the lesson. I always felt at ease during the lessons because of John's calm & friendly approach to teaching, explained things clearly so it really helped me to not only understand how to drive but also be aware of the 'bigger picture' when on the roads. John... I can't thank you enough for your time, expertise & making my lessons so enjoyable. I wish you (and your team) all the best & every success for the future! If you're looking for Automatic lessons - I would highly recommend :)
Thanks for your glowing review Becky much appreciated ✨️ Very proud that you passed with 0 faults after only a short time learning with Myself at Greengates automatic.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had a few different instructors, so I know a good (and bad) one when I meet one! John is definitely one of the good ones. Really calm and patient and took the time to understand how I learn so that he could make things feel relatable and understandable for me (and we had a laugh whilst doing it!) I passed first time but genuinely believe that if I hadn’t done my lessons with greengates automatic, I would never have even got the point where I felt ready to take my test. Highly recommend.
Thanks for those kind words Rebecca Hope everything is well.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time with Marria! Such a lovely experience with a friendly and professional instructor, I learned so much and very excited to start driving by myself!
Thanks for your fantastic review Juliana So pleased you enjoyed your experience with Greengates Automatic.
Fantastic experience: Started learning with john after a previous instructor said i was ready for my test. It wasn't until i got in the car with john that i realised how unready i was. Made things very easy to understand and made me feel relaxed. I passed my test today first time all thanks to john. Couldn't recommend him enough.
Thanks Jade and take care on them roads.
Fantastic experience: I passed my test with John 2 years ago after doing lessons on and off with him for around 4 years. Lovely man very patient and clam. He needed to be really with me because I don’t take direction well... haha thank you John I can’t thank you enough driving his changed my life
Fantastic experience: John is an excellent driving instructor, his friendly calm demeanour puts me at ease and makes my lessons fun and enjoyable. I look forward to my lessons each week.

Fantastic experience: John taught me to drive years ago I tried Manuel could grasp it I passed first time with no marks,John talked me into doing Manuel to say I didn't want to do that again I passed with no marks,he was very patient and understanding (I wasn't the best pupil to teach) but John put me at ease so glad I did it now he is very professional with his job would definitely recommend John especially if your a nervous person like I was

Fantastic experience: John is an excellent teacher, he explains so that you can understand and learn. I would recommend him as he is a genuinely nice guy who is patient and makes you feel you can do it. I'm 54 and passed second time with him.
Thanks for your positive review Karen, hope your well and driving safely . John .
Fantastic experience: John is an excellent instructor, very patient and pays attention throughout the lesson (unlike other instructors I've had). He explains things well and takes things at your pace. Would highly recommend!
Thanks for the 5 stars Emily hope your your well and driving safely John .
Fantastic experience: After loosing my confidence after a previous experience I hadn't driven in over 6 months. I decided to give lessons a go in an automatic and after doing some research found John's details. In just 4 months I passed first time! He is so patient and calm and I would definitely recommend.
Thanks for the 5 stars Ellen
Fantastic experience: John is the best instructor I have ever had, after only being with him for just short of 4 months, I am almost test ready!! He is always on time to pick me up for my lesson, his attention is 100% on me, he never uses his phone (like a lot of rude instructors), and he has the patience of a saint. Not to mention the banter!! My lessons are the highlight of my week and I'll miss him when I pass! I can't recommend him enough.
Thanks for the 5 star review Emma and hope your well John .
Negative experience: He is rubbish he said it was poorly when he is not I guess he didn’t want me driving I when I havet done nothing worng to him
In reply to Alex Walters review I did explain to Alex that i was to poorly at that Point to teach her as shes a very challenging learner with a learning disability It would have been dangerous to take her out on the roads with my health issues at that time.! She has no right to say I'm a rubbish instructor and I presume that's just the wrong choice of words I'm now back to good health and wish Alex well for the future. John .
