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

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!!!

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!

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.

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

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 :)

Beckie Fisher 3 years ago

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.

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.

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

Greengates automatic
Greengates automatic

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 .
