Amber Stella 1 year ago

Negative experience: Unfortunately, I found them to be unprofessional and unreliable. I had booked a week off work specifically for my remaining lessons and my test at the end of the week. However, the instructor didn't show up for my lesson and later informed me that my remaining lessons had to be cancelled because another student had scheduled their test at the same time. As a result, my test had to be canceled too. It was really disappointing and a waste of my time

Chilled Driving School

Hi Amber
I'm sorry you had a bad experience with Chilled Driving School, I hold my hands up totally, it was my fault. I was confused with the pickup, anybody mentions Marks and Spencers I assume it is the main one in town, unfortunately with a traffic accident on the motorway I got stuck in the car park and was unable to reach you. I was trying to help you with your last minute booking before your test, which involved 2 lessons and the test on the Sunday. As concerns being off work all week, it was my understanding that I was picking you up after a shift. As an apology I did give you £95 for your test and a promise of a free lesson to express my sorrow, unfortunately this doesn't seem to be enough, but if you wish to change your mind and the review please give me a call, I wish you all the best for the future,
Kind regards
Mike

Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Mike enough! I came back to driving after failing a few times and was very anxious. He was so brilliant at putting me at ease and very good at explaining everything I needed to know. He was very thorough with lesson planning and meeting your individual needs. He helped me to pass with 2 minors which I never believed I could do. A lovely guy as well with lots of great jokes which always helps! Thank you so much Mike!

Katherine Tresidder 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I came across Mike when searching for a 'chilled' driving instructor (my son's request when asked the type of instructor he wanted, so thats what I looked for!) .... I'm so glad I did and that's exactly what Mike was! Charlie was nervous having never had any driving experience whatsoever. He can be clumsy and struggles with his motor skills and was worried he wouldn't get it .... but Mike has been fantastic with him from start to finish! Charlie has thoroughly enjoyed every lesson, always came back buzzing and tells me Mike was always encouraging, calm, relaxed and has a great sense of humour ... exactly what you want from a driving instructor. The end result was a 1st time pass and a safe and confident driver! My other son turns 17 at the end of the year and I won't hesitate to use Mike again! Deserved 5* rating and would recommend to all! Thanks again Mike

Chilled Driving School

Thanks Kat
Thats lovely, thoroughly enjoyed Charlie's company, I was so happy for him when he passed straight away, but, I wasn't surprised, he has a great future
