Caitlin Murray
Bishopton
Jim is a positive, enthusiastic and friendly instructor. I was over the moon when I found out that I had passed my driving test. With Jim's friendly manner he makes you feel at ease and makes you feel really confident in your driving ability. Some instructors only teach you to be able to pass your driving test but Jim teaches you how to become a safe, smart and well rounded driver which is more inportant than just passing the test. I would highly recommend Jim to anyone that is looking for a driving instructor.
Response : Thanks Caitlin, like all the other pupils your a great driver and really pleased you passed so you can get out in your nice wee Fiat 500 It's a pleasure to see you all pass as I know how it feels as every driver does. Keep that car nice and I'll give you a wave when passing. Your spot on, it is more important to be an all round GOOD driver than passing the test.

I was recommended to go with jim at Luke first by a friend. Very glad that I done my lessons with him. Very friendly and made driving fun. Always up for a laugh and taught me the importance of road safety. I have recommended jim to everyone I know as I feel he is best in the business and hope for him to carry on in his great success as a driving instructer.
Response : Thanks Emma Your a great driver and had great fun teaching you. I always feel a little sad knowing I won't see most pupils after they pass and was great to see you pass so you get out in your nice wee Fiat 500 take care and continue to be a safe driver for life.

Jim was recommended to me by a few friends. He is friendly, patient and highly professional. I am delighted to have passed my driving test at first attempt after only 11 lessons over the past 4 months. Thanks Jim - oh and I think you'll be getting a call from my mate who has had 11 lessons and not been on a dual carriageway yet !
Response : It's was a pleasure to teach you and this is very rare that pupils take to it so easily, you listened and took it all on board from lesson 1 and an excellent driver. Your probably the quickest pupil I've seen on the road after a pass, driving along the road on the next lesson. Be safe and take care especially at this time of year as you will learn something every day.

Jim has an unbelievable amount of patience. I always hear people talking about how they've just got on a dual carriageway or have just got into 5th gear on their 15th lesson, whereas I remember how Jim trusted me enough to do that on my 2nd lesson! He is one of the friendliest people that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and would highly recommend him to anyone who mentions that they're looking for a driving instructor. It is obvious that he really cares about his pupils becoming capable drivers as well as passing their test as soon as possible. Each lesson with Jim is money worth spending.
Response : Thanks Callum you done excellent on your test with only 3 minor faults and set the bar high for yours friends with tests coming up SOON. Your going to be an excellent driver nearly as good as me lol. Drive with care your still learning every day and don't forget to give me a wee wave when you pass bye.

Safe to say if it wasn't for Jim I wouldn't of passed my driving test first time! Jim is an amazing driving instructor who is very patient, friendly, easy to talk to and very good at explaining everything until you understand and know how to do it properly and to a safe standard! Would highly recommend Jim to anyone and everyone! Thanks for putting up with me and can't wait to see you when I'm out on the road! Thank again Jim.
Response : Thanks Amy Your a great driver and don't forget it. You took everything on board to achieve your pass today and well deserved Continue to drive the way I tought you and be a safe driver for life.
Ryan Muir

Jim was an amazing driving instructor! He was extremely patient, friendly and easy to talk to. His way of explaining and making me understand the ways to become a good driver was excellent so I would highly recommend Luke's First Motoring to anyone. Thanks again Jim!
Response : Thanks for the review Ryan. Was probably one if not the most pleasing pass a pupil has had especially with going on scholarship to the USA two days later and glad I was able to help you get your licence before you went. This is probably the only review I'll ever receive from another country. Be safe out there and enjoy your time you'll never forget it.

Would definetly recommend Jim to anyone he is patient, friendly and has a good way of explaining things so you understand. Is always flexible and fits lessons to suit. When l first started lessons with Jim I was nervous and driving didnt come naturally, he helped me calm my nerves and become a confident driver and cant thank him enough :) !
Response : Great drive for a great pass. Looking forward to seeing you in a nice new car soon and thanks for the review. :-).
Andrew Gamble

So pleased to have chosen Jim at Luke 1st, he is a great instructor and has a lot of patience. When you make a slip up, he wont make you feel rushed or nervous, he keeps you calm and encourages you to continue. He tells you exactly what you need to work on so there isn't any confusion, and you can get to work on getting better at it. He wants you to be the best driver you can be, and I think he has achieved that with me. (Passing with 1 minor fault) Hands down, one of the nicest and coolest driving instructors around. Highly recommended!
Response : Thanks Andrew, your a great listener and took everything on board to make you the driver you are with an absolutely fantastic drive for this result. Drive the way you've been tought and you might be as good as me someday. Lol.

Response : Thanks Lindsay. Your such a good driver it was easy for me despite you thinking you had failed,have more confidence in your driving it's really good and well done.

Response : Thanks for the recommendation Hayley. I think I'll need to pay you a commission for all the pupils you supply. Keep driving safely. ?
Mandy Smith
Erskine
Jim is an amazing instructor was so patient with me and would always find a way of explaining things so that I understood, jim didnt just teach what would happen in the test he taught me how to make sure I would be a safe driver. Could not recommend luke first enough jim went above and beyond supporting me with my theory and my driving.
Response : Your a great driver and showed that today by controlling your nerves. Drive the way we practiced and all will be good ( nearly as good as me).
Claire Crummie
Erskine
Amazing instructor, so patient aswell, couldn't have asked for a better instructor! Passed first time with Jim :).
Response : Thanks Claire. Was really really pleased you passed first time especially since your boyfriend Thomas done it first time also(22nd May below). You showed how well you done with passing with the examiner and manoeuvre you most feared to perfection. Well done you deserved the pass with little minors. Love the new car your getting keep it clean.
Laura Straiton

Jim is a fantastic instructor! Very patient and easy to be around, would highly recommend! Thanks again Jim ? .
Response : Well done to you laura. A great drive to pass your test is what it takes and that's what you done.
Liam Stevenson
Bishopton
Known Jim almost all my life from being the postman I waited on every day to being my driving instructor. Fantastic instructor teaches you how to drive and be safe whilst you do it instead of teaching just how to pass the test which is the way it should be done. If you're going to learn to drive Jim at Luke 1st Driving is the way to go as in my opinion he's the best in the area we live in.
Response : Thanks for that Liam, probably my proudest and strangest pass as you say you use to wave at me every morning to teaching you to be a GREAT driver with an excellent 1st time pass.
Robert Dytham
Bishopton
Fantastic driving instructor. Teaches you to be a safe driver instead of just teaching you how to pass your test which is hard to find nowadays.
Response : Thanks for the review Robert your sister next on the list. You forgot to boast that you passed 1st time and certainly worth mentioning and the 3rd first time pass over the last few weeks. Well done and continue to drive safely.
Yasmin Gray
Erskine

Response : Your a fantastic driver and proved that today with a great drive to pass. Well done and hope to see you with a nice wee car soon.
Thomas Kerr
