“Very rude and arrogant driving instructor who spent a lot of time each lesson talking whilst parked at the side of the road instead of teaching practical driving . Driving instructor turned up 15-45 minutes late each lesson with no apology.”

“I want to say a very big thank you to DAVID MEREDITH of AA Driving school for being the best instructor ever! With his guidance and patience he taught me the skills to become a safe driver. Thank you for giving me the confidence to drive and for helping me to overcome my nervousness. Your lessons were very informative, well-structured and I really appreciated your encouragement…”

“I can't thank David Meredith enough for his incredible guidance and support as my driving instructor through THEAA Driving School. His expertise and extensive driving experience were evident in every lesson. Despite my mistakes, he remained incredibly patient, taking the time to explain each error in detail to help me understand and improve. Thanks to his encouragement and thorough teaching, I’ve become much more confident behind the wheel. His attention to public safety is second to none, and he made sure I developed safe driving habits for life. David truly is a legend and an invaluable asset to THEAA Driving School. If you’re looking for the best driving instructor out there, look no further! Thank you, David!”

“I had an amazing experience learning to drive with Freddie! He was incredibly patient and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. His calm approach and ability to explain things clearly made a big difference, even when I made mistakes - he always took the time to ensure I understood what I needed to improve. The AA made the booking process simple and straightforward, and I was even refunded for the unused hours after I passed - with just one minor!! :) Thank you Freddie for helping me to becoming a fully licensed driver!”

“Brilliant! I've always been a motorcyclist since my teen years and I'm now 50. Never driven a car my life. I used AA and Ricky J was my instructor. Great instructor, great sense of humor and made me feel confident since day one. A few months later and I passed my test first time! Thank you very much Ricky, much appreciated!!!!”

“Driving instructors are great. However, I already knew how to drive. Instructor insisted I needed at least 3 more lessons before my test. I couldn't put together the money for that. When I asked about moving my test because I couldn't make it happen, the driver didn't respond. Then he cancelled our booking for the day of the test with only 2 working days left. I have two issues- one, he was obviously wrong. I passed easily. However, he reserves the right to decide not to take me to the test. Two, the timing with which the lesson was cancelled. I had to emergency book another company. I have complained and no one at the company will even take a minute to acknowledge that the timing was an inconvenience. What a terrible company with terrible service.”

“Absolutely appalled when I saw a Young Chinese AA instructor in shirley Solihull driving all the way down the high street texting on his phone. Discrase”

“Andre Quincani made an error with the date he verbally provided me with for my next lesson. Instead of accepting that he may have given me a different date to the one that he input in the AA system, making a genuine mistake, he called and got very aggressive with his tone and proceeded to insult me. This is not something you should expect from a driving instructor with the AA.”

“Zahid Ali was fantastic from start to finish, always great with communication and helping me get over my initial fears of driving. Also was fantastic in giving me the confidence to drive in new conditions such as the dark and even a heavy storm once. Really grateful to have been able to pass first time especially thanks to his support over the last few months!”

“Learnt with Christian in Plymouth. As an ex-biker I've got a heavy foot and a "I can make that gap" attitude, so not something that can be easily taught to stop. Very safe, well maintained car. Very good with the early lessons utilising the dual controls to assist in those early mistakes and keeping calm. You'll also get some good jokes and trivia along the way.”

“Unfortunately, I wasted my time with this agency for nearly 4 years as an instructor. Your vehicle will be seized and they force you to pay the weekly franchise fee even though just allegations happened against the instructor. Which is obviously going to be happened in the UK They delayed providing a new replacement vehicle for 11 months. They kept promising. When it arrived, then it was dirty, missing of carpets and very low of fuel. Their diary is a big mess up. Probably unprofessional programmers created it. When you have to take your vehicle for servicing they always book it in as far as possible from your home because it's cheaper for them. The management is not knowledgeable, they are only interested in money. This is not a driving school, only an agency. The instructors are self-employed. If they don't like you as an instructor then on purpose the number of students will be reduced, but they certainly deny it. They only provide lengthy contracts. They are missing paying out hours and they blame the system. If you don't realise it then it remains unpaid. But the system never overpays you. My first pass rate is 99% for many years, but not because of this driving school agency.”
