“I can’t explain how amazing of a driving Instructor and a person Faisal is! He answered any questions I had clearly and taught me so thoroughly that I had no problem in the test at all! I had such a bad experience with my previous instructor even after 30 hour! I did less than half of that with Faisal and passed with ease! Genuinely such an amazing man and instructor I cannot put it into words. I would recommend him to everyone as he is genuinely incredible. Never once shouting or getting angry always kind and composed I couldn’t have gotten a better instructor.”

“Suman Bhowmik is an excellent driving instructor! With a calm and easy to understand approach, He will help you with your weaknesses in driving and make sure you learn and understand each skill/maneuver. He will develop the skills for you to be a safe driver. Thank you Suman for all your help and guidance.”

“I have passed my driving today. My instructor was Suman Bhowmik. He helped me a lot to improve my driving skill. If you want to pass just listen to the instructor and be smart and ask questions.”

“I had a great experience with AA but this was mainly due to my instructor Jesuthasan Rajkumar. He was incredible, he made driving a fun experience for me when it was something I used dread. I got great practical tips and now that I have passed I feel like I am a confident and safe driver. I would def recommend”

“Learning with Freddie Asare via AA in South London, was a really pleasant and good learning experience, and got taught good driving principles that I continue to use today. Thanks to Freddie's patience, encouragement and teaching style, I passed first time! As opposed to other driving schools I had tried like RED, which based on my experience I got an unprofessional sub-par instructor in comparison.”

“I passed on the first attempt thanks to Darren Pearce, AA Pinner instructor! Darren was very supportive throughout the journey, he was always patient and helpful. He always gave me confidence and useful feedback! He helped me with every bit of the driving and gave me instructions and tips to be calm, which made me easily pass! One of the best things I learnt from him was to be very vigilant and careful when driving and assess risk situations before they arise.”

“Mainly talking instead of driving. Was told by the instructor that if I would practice in my own car, he probably wouldn't want to teach me anymore. Driving instructor asked (with less than 48 hours notice!!!) if he could reschedule our appointment as he had a holiday, to which I agreed. Then when I informed this person that I had tested positive for Covid, straight after.. HE cancelled my lesson for that day and took my 2 hour lesson pay! I complained by the AA who said that they could not waiver due to their 48 hour cancellation policy. Heads up: the AA basically wants you to infect their instructor with covid and therefore their other pupils. I would not recommend them at all. I am absolutely disgusted by this practice!”

“I booked lessons through the aa the instructor booked more lessons and then kept my £1050 just a warning to anyone booking through the aa! I contacted the aa and they weren’t very helpful. Really disappointed with the company ! I only chose the aa as I thought they were a household name I could trust”

“There are two driving instructors with whom my girlfriend booked sessions, and both are perverts. One tried to touch her inappropriately. We raised a complaint, but no action was taken. Trusting the company, we booked another instructor, but he started texting inappropriate messages. Now, my girlfriend is going through mental trauma and has lost the confidence to continue driving training. The name of the first instructor is Bilal Pezhman, and the second is Hade Hosseini.”

“The instructor informed me he is unable to do the test appointment that bad been scheduled for months 3 weeks before die to a hospital appointment. AA did absolutely nothing to help and we are still trying to get compensation. the driving instructor is called Richard and based on London, be weary of using this company. The new test is in December and AA have failed to help with setting this up or any other lessons. This is so disappointing and has caused severe stress.”
