Thanks Durga, that's lovely
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
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: Cannot thank Mike enough for helping our son William learn to drive. Mike through his calm, understanding and with some humour thrown in, approach to teaching, has given William the best start to his driving life. We thoroughly recommend Mike and will be using him again when our daughter turns 17! Thanks again Mike
Thanks Sarah, that's lovely, it's been a pleasure meeting and teaching William
Fantastic experience: Mike is an excellent instructor. Calm, patient and clear. My lessons were enjoyable and Mike was really flexible organising lesson times. He set me up really well for my driving test so I knew what to expect and had all the right skills. Most importantly I feel confident driving following my lessons with Mike. I can’t recommend him highly enough.
Thanks Hugh, that's a lovely review, it's been a pleasure to meet you and your mom, down to earth and very decent.
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
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
Fantastic experience: Mike was a great instructor. I was a very nervous learner and he really put me at ease. He is a good teacher with a lot of patience and always brings the laughs to the lesson. Very grateful to him for getting me through my test. Would 100% recommend.
Lovely to meet you, Mollie, so glad when you passed, you was so happy
Fantastic experience: Learning to drive with Mike is a walk in the park with the relaxed atmosphere he creates. Full of knowledge, easy to ask questions to and have a chat. Mike was with me from start to finish, helping me improve the whole way until my pass
Thanks Tom, absolute pleasure to meet you

Fantastic experience: Heartfelt thanks to Chilled Mike for helping me overcome the huge anxiety I had developed around driving. By suggesting ways to dial down the distractions I was finally able to focus, learn and succeed. Mike’s very relaxed and uses his sense of humour to put you at ease. He’s a fascinating person with an interesting history and made every lesson meaningful. He kept perfect time and planned each session diligently. I will be forever grateful and recommend him wholeheartedly.
