I had lessons with Steven Walker in the Airdrie and Coatbridge area and he was wonderful, he was really patient and encouraging with me as an anxious learner and I’m pleased to say I passed first time with only one minor! Thanks so much Steven for your help getting me through my test!
Steven Walker is 100% the best driving instructor ever! I have just passed my driving test today and it's all down to Steven's guidance and his patience in his lessons. Over the years I have tried a few other instructors but none were as good as Steven. He's such a friendly person and is amazing at his job. Honestly can not recommend him highly enough! Thank you so much Steven for all your help!
Passed first time with Steve! Easy peazy lemon squeezy, Guys a true gent, extremely patient, made me feel at ease from day one, also his car is perfect for learners, I owe him a beer for putting up with me, if your lucky enough to get a lesson with Steve, you’ll be in good hands ? .
I have done many lessons with Steven Walker which all went well. However, when I contacted him to tell him my test was booked for September at 10:24 am, which was the only available time and date on the booking system he then tells me that he cannot take me to the test or use the car because there is a chance he might SLEEP in on the morning of the test. I even tried to change the time to accommodate him even though I am the paying customer (which is not cheap these days for a two hour lesson). However, he still refused and now I am left stuck without an instructor because he can't take the risk of sleeping in and missing his alarm. Honestly I was left speechless at this level of customer service and bitterly disappointed with how I am being treated considering how much money I have given him throughout all my lessons even when the prices kept rising. I would highly recommend staying away from this company if that is the kind of people they allow to work for them as there is no level of customer service or respect shown.
I passed my automatic driving test two weeks ago after taking lessons with Johnny Robertson. At the age of 54, I thought driving had passed me by having had a few unsuccessful attempts in my late teens / early twenties. I decided however to give it one last ditch effort and must say that from the offset, I knew I would pass. Johnny instantly put me at ease and said there wasn't anything he could not control in the car from the passenger seat and for me to focus on the driving which I was more than happy to do. The lessons involved a lot of driving and you can literally feel your confidence developing after each lesson. Johnny does not miss anything and is very quick to spot any minor faults before they become habits. In my case, my lane discipline at roundabouts was not the best, so we would focus on that specific area and eventually got there. Likewise with my reverse parallel parking - 'lets focus on that next time' and so on. It was all about marginal, incremental gains and Johnny has a very clear understanding of the required learning points that over several weeks, you start to really believe that you will pass. Further to all of this, Johnny is a top guy and a great conversationalist, yet always impeccably aware of what is going on both in the car and on the road. So if this is the ethos of all the other TopGear instructors, then please look no further than here - and if you are a bit of an old codger like me, then try learning in an automatic!Moreexpand_more
Stephen was an amazing instructor, with his methods, patience and friendly approach made me feel at ease from our first lesson. Stephen made it feel like I was with a friend rather than a teacher which made me more relaxed and more open to learning. He took extra time to explain things to me and even used toy car props so I knew exactly what he meant. Stephen gave excellent advice and support. He not only taught me to drive but helped build my confidence. I can not highly recommend Stephen enough he is an amazing instructor and you would be lucky to have him as your instructor. Thank you so much stephen you believed in me even when I didn't and helped me to gain the skills and confidence to pass first time. I'm so grateful for all your hard work with me thanks again, jenna Fraser.
Thanks to Bryan I managed to pass my test first time with only two months of lessons! I highly recommend Bryan. He is a fantastic instructor and has a really good eye for details. Honestly, I wouldn't have passed my test first time without his sincere help and support. Thank you so much Bryan.
I passed first time with Johnny at Topgear. Johnny helped me stay calm as I was a nervous learner. He was patient and understood how to explain everything when my nerves where getting the better of me. And within 12 weeks I have become more confident driver and passed my driving test. I would highly recommend Topgear to anyone looking to learn to drive even if you are a nervous learner they will get you on the track to pass your driving test like I did.
Brian was a fantastic instructor and I couldn't have asked for better help to pass my test. I had initially failed a couple of times with another instructor and decided to phone Top Gear who put me in touch with Brian who helped me pass within about 8 lessons. He was able to quickly identify where I was at after taking some time away from doing lessons and was honest and straight to the point about what I needed to improve on to get through my test so that we didn't waste any time. Brian's expert knowledge of test routes and tricky technical junctions/roundabouts/back streets that examiners catch you on was key to helping me pass and to gain valuable experience behind the wheel which I was missing. If I ever got stressed or messed up it wasn't a big deal and I'd always learn from it after listening to what he had to say. He has an eye for detail and is able to point out things I didn't notice. Very fair, honest, easy to get on with, good patter. I appreciate all the help Brian!
I passed my driving test today with Brian at Topgear. Brian is a fantastic, patient and professional instructor. I found Brian to be a true teacher who made his lessons fun whilst learning. I enjoyed each and every lesson. I'm proud to have passed first time and I'm so thankful to have had him as my instructor.
I had a great Experience with Topgear as I managed to Pass test in 1st attempt only. Instructor Jhonny, was awesome. Though I already had good experience of driving before in US, he had enough minute observations noted and got them corrected. He is very clear in test requirement and got every thing covered. He gave very precise instructions and markings for maneuvers that after learning, I was able do all in single try. He observes you as minutely as examiner would do in test and yell out every thing that you have missed. He picks and drop you promptly at mention time and very professional. I would surely recommend him for your driving lessons.
Travelled to Glasgow from Edinburgh about once every 2 weeks for lessons with Johnny from Topgear, and passed first time yesterday after just under 3 months! From start to finish lessons had a clear pathway that meant even the lesson before my test I felt ready to give it a good crack. I'd give anyone willing to put in the time and effort the advice to go to Johnny and the Topgear team.
Johnny is a fantastic instructor, makes driving much more relaxing than other places I’ve tried and makes things easy to understand. I passed first time with no minors! Also, I have autism and have struggled with lessons in the past, Johnny was patient and understanding and made such a difference to my driving experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend!
Just passed my test first time. I had the pleasure of having Steven to do my lessons with. He has a great step by step process of teaching and is always patient. Not my first time doing lessons, but I can easily recommend Steven to anyone. Especially if you need someone that will help simplify your driving and help you progress under no pressure. We had some time to have some good conversations too! Thanks.
Thanks to Johnny I just passed my test first time after many years of procrastination and fear of being on the road. He is always patient and flexible and I gained a lot of confidence as a driver because of it. I’m absolutely over the moon! Well worth the money! My only regret is not finding him and passing sooner!
Great driving school! Top Gear Driving School is the best! And many thank to Bryan Jack! Can't recommended Bryan Jack and Top Gear Driving School enough! Thankfully though I'm a bit better at driving now thanks to Bryan Jack, and to top it off I've managed to pass my test! He was able to skilfully identify my weak points and focus on them to bring them up to standard. During the driving experience, it was very fun to drive with Bryan Jack, his very very patient to his pupil and very passion for his job every single moment. I was soooooo lucky that I have found this driving school and such a good top instructor! I would 100% sure I will recommend Bryan Jack and Top Gear to my friends and my family!Moreexpand_more
Cannot recommend Johnny and Topgear enough! After 11 years of procrastination I finally sat my automatic driving test today and passed first time. As someone who considered themselves a nervous driver Johnny always put me at ease and taught me to a very high standard so I felt prepared for my practical test. No question was ever a silly question and Johnny taught me not only how to drive but also to be a much more confident driver. I would 100% recommend Johnny and his driving school to any of my friends and family in the future.
