Karens School of Motoring

Negative experience: No interest in new learner drivers, always too busy can be waiting over 2 months for your 1st lesson

Negative experience: The most rudest and passive-aggressive woman on the phone when I rang to ask about lessons, put me off straight away!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely great service from phone calls to driving lessons! Keith was my instructor and he was always very patient and encouraging. Would definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Fantastic driving school. Extremely helpful when I called up asking for advice on an intensive course. As I had to wait 6 weeks for a test my lessons were split over this time. Keith was a great instructor and I have just passed my test today.. first time!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding service From contacting the office and being directed to the right instructor for me. I’ve spent years being too nervous to drive and have always quit after a few lessons. However, just after a few lessons with Keith he has filled me with so much confidence. He explains everything so clearly. I couldn’t recommend him enough

Negative experience: My instructor arrived to me late on my test day. I left my home to meet him at 9:15am he said on my last lesson he’d be there at 9:30am and he showed up at 9:40am and my test was at 10:24am. He said he was stuck at local train station and the barriers were down for ages. Where I live I can hear when trains go by and I heard a few before he showed up and many cars would go by me and he is aware I live near a station so I think it would of been ideal to have left his home in plenty of time to get to me specially when I had a test! He also arrived with no L plates and the last time he arrived without them on he said he overslept so that is why I believe he was really late. He also had horrendous body Oder which I’ve had to put up with on several lessons. We never did a lesson before test and I was under the impression I was going to have one but instead we went straight to the centre. When we parked at the centre he pointed what chair to sit in but there were many empty chairs so I couldn’t understand how sitting in any chair would be a problem. I did fail my test and one of the reasons was my emergency stop was not good enough. I only did the stop once 3 weeks before and never practiced in anymore lessons and on way home the instructor told me we practiced it on my last lesson 5 days before but I said we didn’t and then he all of a sudden remembered. He said his not committed to any lessons or tests till the end of October as he was going on holiday and was expecting me to book a test and have one lesson before the test I can not wait that long so I have had no option but to go to another company as I have not been pleased with my instructor lately due to the body Oder, burping constantly during lessons and also the lateness on my test day.

Fantastic experience: Had a lovely instructor in Otas, who built my confidence in driving while making sure I was driving safe. Would recommend Karen's School of Motoring for driving lessons any time any day.
