“My daughter has done 20hrs of driving! Hasn’t come out of 3rd gear, hasn’t reversed, hasn’t bay parked, hasn’t parallel parked, hasn’t done an emergency stop, no merging, no country Rds, no a5 no 3 or 5 point turns and has only used magic rd abouts an absolute joke I will not be recommending to anyone!”

“I could not have asked for a better driving instructor. John Sundaresan has been amazing to me. He has been patient, kind, flexible, and consistent. He's given me all the necessary skills to be a safe and confident driver and I'm so grateful 🙏 and so happy I passed my test today 14/4/22 1st time with just 4 minors, thank you so much”

“I have been chasing them for the past 12 months for my pass plus certificate. Still nothing. I paid but they can’t seem to deliver. Unprofessional, unreliable.”

“Just passed my driving test first time after having lessons with driveJohnson's. Could not recommend this company enough, they are professional, friendly, helpful and most importantly they actually know what they're doing! My instructor was amazing and really helped to build my confidence up and get me test ready, definitely wouldn't have got quite the same results with another driving school. Thanks so much :)”

“First of all, I spoke to a really nice girl on the phone to book driving lessons for my daughter for her Christmas present. I booked 10 hours for her. The girl on the phone listened to and answered all of my questions and worries and really put my mind at ease. I received a really nice card and voucher in the post and my daughter was delighted. She went for her first lesson yesterday and came back really pleased and eager to keep going. I would recommend this driving school to anyone.”

“I learnt to drive with drivejohnson's at the end of last year (before Christmas). I couldn't fault them or the driving instructor.”

“TOTALLY UNRELIABLE DRIVING INSTRUCTOR! THE COMPANY DOESN’T KNOW WHO WORKS FOR THEM OR WHO THEY EMPLOY, LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM! THEY WILL STRING YOU ALONG FOR 30+ LESSONS AND THEN ONCE YOU BOOK YOUR TEST THEY DROP YOU BEING VERY ARROGANT AND RUDE THINKING THEY KNOW BEST LEAVING YOU WITH NO CAR OR INSTRUCTOR. THE COMPANY DOESN’T HAVE THE INSTRUCTOR ON THEIR SYSTEM AND ARE UTTER USELESS WHEN DEALING WITH COMPLAINTS. THE INSTRUCTOR ISNT WHO HE SAYS HE IS!!!!! WOULD NOT RECOMMEND, STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!”

“They took money for 10 hours. Drivers kept cancelling, kept not sowing up. In the end when i asked for a refund for my remaining hours, they refused to give me back my money. supervisor was absolutely USELESS. she hung up on me and wouldn't listen to my issues on the phone. they steal your money and have very unprofessional and bad teachers. DODGY. avoid. ALSO, they dont refund your money.”

“Please avoid DrirveJohnson’s who are unprofessional and just outright dodgy. I paid in advance for 10 lessons. My driving instructor said inappropriate things and was either late or never showed up for agreed appointments. I decided to cancel my remaining lessons and requested a refund for them. DriveJohnson’s refused me a refund saying that their instructors are self employed and advised me that since starting my lessons my instructor no longer works for the company and therefore they cannot give me a refund. This has left me out of pocket by over £150. They should be ashamed of themselves.”

“First of all the instructor was late by 30 mins. He did not bother to call or text. 5 mins past the booked time I texted and tried calling. Finally he texted and said he will be 10 mins due to road work....... Really ???? He couldn't call to tell me that!!!! I am a learner and sometimes have steering problem if I focusing on the gear...... he tried to rectify by grabing the steering wheel and rectified it but he held on and we were going straight for the little island in the middle of the road. I tried to steer away from it he held on and I had to really force it and he realised what happened and quickly let go. We were moments from crashing into it. How did he become an instructor again??. To top it all I had no intention of going back but a couple of weeks later I got a call about a supposed booking I had. I tried telling her I did not book any lesson. I said I had already took the lesson I booked for. I paid online and realised I didn't get an option to book a slot. I called and book the initial lesson. The girl CHECKED my payment and booked it. Now two weeks later they can't find my payment and threatening to report ME to the police for their incompetence. BTW the payment was taken from my account(Trustpilot now that you are fine combing through this review why did you highlight that I should remove 'the money was taken from my account' - How is that offensive or inappropriate?). They just don't know how to do basic job and reconcile it!!!! Unprofessional and incompetent. First of all if she had called me outright and explained they can't find my payment I would have happily provided the information. But now they said I have a lesson booked this week and the other girl said I had a lesson booked for the 18th at 2pm!!!!! When I practically screamed on their third call that I have not booked any lesson....she started asking for details of my previous payment....two weeks later.....I hope they don't intend to charge me again for an imaginary lesson or so god help me.....the level of unprofessionalism is baffling ..I am looking forward to the police visit ohhh I really am..”
