Mitchell's School Of Motoring: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend Mark enough, made me feel very comfortable from the start. A patient & calm driving instructor who doesn’t just teach you to pass a test but to be a driver. See you on the roads
Fantastic experience: Had my lessons with Mark he made me into a confidant driver I was honestly a bag of nerves my first few months of lessons he has helped me so much over my time learning with him he is a very good instructor I can't recommend him enough he's taught me and 3 of my daughter's he's probably sick of us by now but he's amazing always punctual, chatty you can have a laugh with him and he puts you at ease. Thank you for everything Mark I really appreciate it
Negative experience: Rang up to book some day time lessons as someone who works nights, before I could even enquire about lessons, the woman on the phone told me quite sharply, I could not have weekends, I could not have nights, I could not have manual in my area, even though I wanted Automatic... I did state that I'd previously had lessons with them pre covid and wanted to restart with them as they'd been really supportive, obviously they don't seem to be looking for pupils and I don't think I'd recommend them due to her attitude on the phone.
Hi. No quite true. you did ask about auto lessons but unfortunately we no longer do many evenings and very little weekends. Just because you have been with us 5 years ago, we cant pull a rabbit out of the hat and and do the times you requested.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Mark and he was a fantastic instructor, explained things until I understood them and really helped me to feel confident on the roads after being so nervous about driving during my first few lessons! Couldn’t recommend Mitchell’s enough!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to pass. My instructor was Mark and he was brilliant. He understood where your mistakes were coming from and knew how to rectify them very efficiently. He can ease any nerves you have about driving as he is very down to earth and really funny. I wouldn’t have passed if it wasn’t for him. And it’s all thanks to Mark
Thanks Haz. Happy that you had a good time too. hope you enjoying your new freedom. Mark
Fantastic experience: Mark was a great instructor, thanks to him I managed to pass my driving test before going to America.
Thanks Annalise. It was a pleasure
Fantastic experience: Taking on lessons with Mitchell’s driving school was the best decision I’ve made, Mark my driving instructor was amazing he explained everything in detail and even when I was unsure he’d even demonstrate, he was always on time for lessons and then when it came to my test I passed first time with only one minor and it’s thanks to Mark.
Thanks Chanel. It was a pleasure.
Fantastic experience: Mark was an excellent instructor. I passed first time with 0 faults after a few months of lessons. Was a pleasure, learning to drive.
Thanks Ben. It was a pleasure
Negative experience: Scam
This was a TAXI TEST and not lessons.
Can you please explain why you have said this.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend, My driving instructor Mark was very friendly and patient and helped me to be able to pass first time.
Thanks Megan. hope the driving is going well
Fantastic experience: Really great instructor very patient, you’ll learn a lot
Cheers Kieron. hope it's going well with the company drivng
Fantastic experience: I highly recommended this driving school. My instructor was Mark and he is a fantastic teacher, he is very thorough, patient and explains everything in full detail. He has a wealth of knowledge and experience and helped me become a confident driver. He puts you at ease in your lessons and has a laugh with you. I recently passed my test and it’s thanks to Mark.
Thanks Laura. hope your driving is going well.
Negative experience: Please please avoid these bast&&ds. Especially the old grumpy pig Mark.They don’t even know about minors and majors. Totally waste of money. Find someone else if you really looking for professionals. Scammers !!!!
DON'T KNOW THIS PERSON. Never taught this person and never heard the name before. Was this a taxi test that someone did?? Please explain as can only think someone failed a taxi test but still have no record of them anywhere. Or was this the very rude person at the test centre??
As for Minors and Majors, these were reclassified years ago. Shows how much they know, not a lot from the looks of it.
Fantastic experience: Mark is a really good instructor with plenty of experience and knowledge. He is patient with new drivers and helps build confidence for his students and he’s great to get on with. Would recommend if you’re struggling to find an instructor.
Thanks Lewis. drive safe out there
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving instructor, teaches you very useful and memorable skills. Every lesson I made good progress. Would highly recommend for any learners
It was a pleasure Harrison. hope the driving is going well.
Negative experience: Very Very poor and rude stuff
BOGUS......This is someone we HAVE NOT TAUGHT nor had no communication with. Would they would like to explain.
Negative experience: Just overheard one of the poorest examples of customer service in my life. My partner making a simple query was made to feel awful. Told 'you are going on a bit'. I wish this was an in person interaction because I would have given her a piece of my mind. It isn't difficult to be nice and doesn't cost a thing, you'd think she asked for a free car but was simply making a query about lessons.
Why tell Lies. This is not what was said and taken out of context.
You partner was calling to ask why the instructor was not getting back to her when she text him.
Your partner let the instructor down a couple of time at short notice, leaving the instructor out of pocket. The instructor text her to say he would have to stop her lessons because of this.
She then phoned us asking why, and yes she ‘probably did go on a bit’ although this was not said.
She asked a question and before it could be answered she asked another and while being answered spoke over us telling us something else. It was this point she was told that if she gave us a moment we would do our best to answer her.
No she wasn’t asking for a car but she would also not listen to anything, probably because it ‘was not her fault she let the instructor down at late notice’.
So a simple enquiry about lessons it was not and the fact she was not listening but speaking over us.
Fantastic experience: As someone who has anxiety and was procrastinating both the lessons and the test, Mark was an excellent instructor, he stuck with me throughout all of it and helped me pass first time!!! All I needed was that push. Thank you so much Mark!!
It was an absolute pleasure Casey.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic mark was a excellent mentor and make sure you know what the yellow box means
Happy to have cleared it up for you Ian
Fantastic experience: Amazing service , Mitch and the team so patient with me, very friendly felt completely comfortable all the time even when I stalled ! Mitch worked around my schedule and I passed first time ! Thank you ⭐️
It was an absolute pleasure Alex
Fantastic experience: super happy I did my taxi test with mark and he was extremely friendly we had a nice conversation aswell as during test I rate him 10/10 super all the best mark
Thank you Litz. good luck with the taxi driving and the kids at school.
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons later on in life. Being 36 and wanting a female instructor locally, I called Mitchells and chose Zoe after a brief chat on the phone. We started lessons around September 21 and at the start of May 22, I passed my test first time in Buxton. Zoe is incredibly professional, patient, knowledgeable, calm and enjoyable to be around. I highly, highly recommend her. Thank you for all your help Zoe!
Thank You Sean. all the best with your driving
Negative experience: The instructor was very rude and his wife who deals with the phone was unprofessional He failed me for not looking the mirrors when I did look he lied and he also said I was driving slow well i was driving 25mp on 30mp zone I wouldn’t recommend this company to anyone who is foreign They discriminate
NOT DRIVING LESSONS.
This was a taxi test and you failed for poor observations on use of mirrors. Also doing 20 in 30mph limit on 3 occasions.
In no way was the examiner rude and if so in what way? How was the lady in the office unprofessional?
Did you at all go through the complains procedure? the answer to that is no.
If on the day day you were not up to standard how is the examiner able to pass you?
After all, driving for 7 years and telling the examiner of 18 years you are a perfect driver, and giving a review on a different company page.
Could you please tell us how we discriminate? when the 2 candidates before you passed and all 3 last week passed. Surely this would say something about your driving and not the examiner.
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t recommend them more, stuck with me through all of Covid and made sure I passed my test.
It was a pleasure Alex. Thank you
Negative experience: Who am I? I am the person who paid £80 twice and used my car for 20 minutes to not pass the exam. I have a license for 30 years, class 1, I have no points and I drive 2500 miles per week without accidents. And Mark tells me at the end that I'm not ready to drive a taxi! The problem was because I am an emigrant. Now do you know who I am? You are rude and as an instructor your value is 0
Who is this person? We have never heard of him and not taught him to drive.
So you failed a taxi test because you don't know speed limits and blame the examiner. how very professional from a class 1 driver, We doubt you are
Fantastic experience: Marks a great instructor, explains concepts very well and clearly and helped me pass first time thanks.
Thank you Saul. It was a pleasure to teach you
Fantastic experience: I passed first time thanks to Mitchell's driving school
It was a pleasure Emily. just glad you passed after the dalays of Covid
Fantastic experience: I started my driving lessons with mark around February time. Absolutely loved doing my driving lessons every week, mark made me feel very confident and never doubted me once, explained everything in detail and shown me the best way around things, very grateful to of had him as my driver instructor, I have now passed my test first time :)
Thanks Sasha. Pleased we could help
Fantastic experience: I started my lessons in July 2020 as I wanted to be driving for my second year of university due to placements and also because I have a child and I didn’t want to rely on public transport. I booked driving lessons with Mitchell’s and had Mark as my instructor. In just 20 lessons Mark had me test ready and I passed first time! I can’t fault Mark at all he’s a really good instructor, has a laugh with you every lesson and made me feel very comfortable from the beginning. I 100% recommend Mitchell’s to anyone who is considering taking driving lessons.
It was a pleasure to help you Georgia.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant family run driving school
Thanks Simon. Happy we could help.
Fantastic experience: Brilliant driving company, patient driving instructor, would recommend 100%
Thanks Melanie. It was a pleasure to teach you
Fantastic experience: I used Mitchell’s to pass my theory and practical driving test. Mark was very patient and the way he taught me to drive was the way I generally tend to learn better. He was great at pushing me to do better. I would definitely recommend this company if you’re thinking of learning to drive.
Thank you Gemma. It was a pleasure to teach you.
Fantastic experience: I took my driving lessons with Zoe who was always extremely helpful, patient and remained calm whenever I made mistakes. I highly recommend Zoe to anyone who's interested in taking lessons, shes a brilliant instructor
Thank you Sameenah. Hope you enjoy your driving
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend this driving school , passed first time round , Mark was nothing but patient and encouraging! Great support, great instructor and really easy to get on with , felt really comfortable! THANKS AGAIN MITCHELLS :)
It was a pleasure Chloe. Thank you
Negative experience: Would nit recommend... very rude instructor and when I wanted to make a complaint I was more or less told ''you can but nothing will.be done'' I would avoid plenty more better instructors out there. On the back of the response from the company i would like to add the following. I tries going through the complaints procedure and the instructors wife deals with the complaint's. When i advised the of what had happened the response was nit so customer friendly. To be honest the instructor himself can do with a few lessons in customer service and try and smile now and again. We are paying him. I would stay away, a few others have had a bad experience and will be telling them to leave reviews.
This IS a BOGUS REVIEW as we have never taught this person.
We don't understand this comment. We have not upset anyone. We have a complaints procedure and we have had no complaints from anyone. Could we have an email on this as we offer a money back guarantee for driving lessons if someone is not happy with the lesson they received or the instructor they have.
Fantastic experience: Mitchell's has been really good teaching me how to drive! Everything was taught with a calm atmosphere and this way I learnt things quicker. Would 100% recommend Mitchell's to learn how to drive. They are ace :)
Thanks Leah
Fantastic experience: Would definitely recommend Mitchells's school of motoring. Manual car test taken. I passed first time with only one driving fault. Mark was a great instructor. Very patient and understanding of my nerves. Very well structured introduction and path for learning. Very qualified - just ask about the courses they go on! Really flexible and reliable too. All the hard work and support from Mitchells paid off :)
Thanks Gemma
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test first time with Mitchell's. Very reasonable prices and high quality teaching. Thank you!
Thanks Claire
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend Mitchells Driving School if you want to do your car test. Having started off on a motorbike, I was taught by a biker who is bike aware, explaining things in a way I *got*, was a good laugh too and made me feel at ease. I've had a couple of instructors in the past with other schools and Mark was by far the best! Passed first time too, which is always a bonus! Excellent value for money.
Thanks Sarah
Fantastic experience: I have just recently passed my driving test for automatic and I did my lessons with Mark who was brilliant. I was a very nervous driver to begin with and Mark has been so supportive and easy going throughout. He was able to make me feel comfortable behind the wheel and gave me encouragement which really helped to boost my confidence. Mark took the time to explain things through and explain them in a way which was right for you. I would highly recommend Mitchell’s driving school to anyone.
Thanks Kate
Fantastic experience: great tuition at fantastic rates.
Thanks Steve
