Fantastic experience: My daughter recently passed first time with Zeki. A friend recommended his business after we were let down by the driving instructor we had lined up. And I am so glad they did. It’s been lovely to see her driving confidence grow each week - which is a testament to Zeki’s knowledgeable and adaptive teaching method. I really can’t thank him enough. One tip I would give, is to provide him with a detailed list of what times you can and can not do on a standard week. Sounds a bit overkill, but it really did help to secure a regular slot each week.

Fantastic experience: I passed first time with Zeki, he was so patient and helped me work on my confidence all the way through our lessons. He made it so I looked forward to lessons every week, the best driving instructor I could have asked for, thank you again.

Tom Johnstone 6 months ago

Fantastic experience: I’ve just passed with Zek, a fantastic experience from start to finish. He made me feel really confident from the start and I looked forward to my lessons every week. He enabled me to pass in just under 6 months and I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. It always felt like he was rooting for me to do well, and he’s also just an all-round top guy.

Fantastic experience: Zeki took my wife out for refresher driving to give her confidence after not driving for a few years. He was very professional and my wife has started driving on her own again

Megan Cushnahan 11 months ago

Fantastic experience: Zek is easily the best instructor I’ve had amongst the two I had when learning, and the three I had for refresher lessons after some years off the roads. He’s great at explaining things clearly and calmly, and is genuinely good craic - an important trait with someone you’re in close proximity with a decent amount of time. Could not recommend him more!!

Fantastic experience: We used Zeki to teach our son to drive. From the first lesson he was really positive, helpful and built good rapport with James. We received progress reports during his training, all the communication about lessons was done directly with our son facilitating independence. We were delighted when James passed at the first attempt. He really enjoyed Zeki’s lessons. The way he teaches really suits excellent progress and ultimately a pass! Thanks for everything - We highly recommended Zeki!

Adrian Jenkins 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Our son Eddie was really apprehensive about taking lessons, but from the first one with Zek he was completely at ease! He ended up looking forward to going out with Zek and was really confident going into his test, which he passed first time. This was undoubtedly down to Zek’s calm and professional manner! I would definitely recommend Z-Drive to anyone considering lessons!!!

Alisha Davidson 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Thanks to Zeki I passed my driving test on Tuesday ( first time pass). I couldn’t be any happier with my results. I couldn’t have asked for a better driving instructor! He has supported me since I did my first ever lesson with him back in may… and from then he has bettered my confidence while driving and most importantly taught me how to drive! Zeki is the best instructor, I could forever highly recommend him to anyone! Thank you Zeki for everything!

Alice Cassin 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: I couldn’t recommend Zeki enough. I struggled so much at the start of my driving journey and my confidence has come on so much over the past year. Zeki really helped me up my confidence, he’s very patient and encouraged me in so many ways. I passed today with just 2 faults with him and I can’t thank him enough for continuously believing in me. I’ve learnt so many things with my time with Zeki he really knows his stuff! he is such an amazing instructor. ❤️

Negative experience: Tried to book my driving lessons with him. Agreed to do so over a phone conversation firstly but when I submitted my online application he made it very awkward and made up various excuses to decline and eventually stopped replying to my e-mails. A timewaster.

Hi Joshua. Thanks for taking the time to leave this review so that I can publicly address this.

Firstly, for the benefit of anyone reading: Joshua is not a customer, and has not used my services.

I recall when a gentlemen called me to enquire for lessons for Joshua. It was on my day off, and I was in the Peel Centre car park at the time with my other half. I made clear at the time to him that I was fully booked, and that it’s unlikely I could help Joshua, but to send in an enquiry form for my waiting list so I could have a look at, as there was nothing I could do while I was out shopping. My partner recalls this conversation as well - she was waiting for me to finish.

A week or two later, I finally did receive Josh’s enquiry form. When I read it and replied, I confirmed I didn’t cover Bramhall and couldn’t help.

I then received another e-mail from a third person to change the address to Marple, which I confirmed I did cover, but I still didn’t cover Joshua’s hours of availability. (My teaching hours are made clear when filling the form in).

I received another e-mail to change the hours Joshua wanted , just under two weeks ago. I admit I have not yet replied to this. I have been moving house, my mother is very unwell and requiring care, and I have been rather disrupted by the ongoing DVSA strike action which has led to the rearrangement of cancelled tests and appointments. Joshua was not to know this, of course, but a bit of kindness and patience would have been appreciated - I do not have a secretary.

So in short; I do acknowledge and apologise for not replying within two weeks. However I utterly refute any allegations that I made an agreement to book him in, or that I made excuses to decline (why would I turn away work?).

To Joshua: I would have been happy to help you. Peter did sentimentally explain that he wanted someone to give you a chance, and I wanted to. I did have your e-mail flagged as one I was yet due to respond to, however with you choosing to leave a review to intentionally attempt to damage my business like this, you’ll understand that actions have consequences, and that I will not be replying to your request, and that I withdraw any offer of service indefinitely. I wish you the best of luck finding an instructor who caters to your requirements that will take you on, and I will continue to cater to mine.

Kind regards from Z-Drive.

Fantastic experience: My daughter really enjoyed learning to drive with Zek. He was very patient and always had positive feedback for her. Zek really helped her to relax and improved her confidence, even when things didn't quite go to plan. His communication with both of us was always clear and he was very helpful with sorting out test dates. I think she will miss her weekly chat with Zek! I have no hesitation in recommending him to other learners and my other daughter is already on his waiting list.

Jo Probert 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: My son has just passed first time with Zeki. He’s really enjoyed his driving lessons and Zeki’s great teaching, which gave him loads of confidence. Zeki is friendly, reliable and organised, and goes out of his way to be accommodating, eg: when the DVSA unexpectedly rescheduled my son’s test. I would highly recommend Zeki. He is a fantastic driving instructor and I have now asked him to give my son a couple of hours motorway driving tuition.

Deborah Lindsay 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: Zeki at Z drive is an excellent , very experienced driving instructor and very professional . His advice is always spot on and my son has truly enjoyed the lessons with Zeki who has taught him so well and been so supportive. My son passed first time with the support and coaching from Zeki. Zeki has always tried to accommodate lessons and communicated well . I got a last minute test with not much notice but Zeki changed up all his diary to take my son to the test . If your looking for a great driving instructor don't hesitate to call Zeki at Z drive !

Fantastic experience: Great experience with Zeki. Highly recommend. My daughter wasn’t a natural but he was very good - so knowledgeable and very reasonable with payment. Thank you Zeki, you’ve been brilliant.

Typically British Chris 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: From start to finish, Zeki, was prompt, courteous & very knowledgeable. He turned up to my lessons knowing exactly what to work on for that session, & tested me until fruition. He went above & beyond to help adapt to my disability & help in any way he could. He decided, months in advance, that he WAS having his birthday off work, as a treat for working so hard leading up to it. He still showed up at my door for our regular time slot, even though he had wanted a day off. It was thanks to Zeki's fantastic tutelage that I passed my test, first time, with a clean sheet. I then went on to do my B+E (trailer) tuition with Zeki also. I was delighted to find he lived upto his already impeccable standards during that process too. Please, if you're looking for a driving instructor in the Stockport area, call Zeki. I really cannot rate him highly enough.
