Mr. Ali Raza is an experienced instructor and teach honestly. He has more tolerance while his students made mistakes and he try to explain every mistake by details. Highly recommend him.

Went to Atlas to do some refresher lessons and the experience was outstanding. I really appreciated the honesty of Shoukat Ali as he even suggested I did not need as many lessons as I initially had planned.

Incompetent instructor

I am not a customer per se however, I had an Atlas car which was clearly on a lesson parked over my driveway for almost 20 minutes today. The driveway has a dropped kerb and a white line but that didn't deter the driver and instructor. It would strongly suggest that the instructor is not competent in training new drivers if they are happy to flout rules and regulations.
I have photos of the illegally parked vehicle (registration number BT64 XZY)

Tahir was an exceptional driving…

Tahir was an exceptional driving instructor. He genuinely prioritised your success in the test as a personal mission and was equally invested in your progress.

The best advice I can offer is to ask questions and clarify any uncertainties. Tahir is always happy to explain. It is important to be respectful to your instructors; while they may appear strict, this is a reflection of their genuine care for your success.

Overall, it was a truly enjoyable experience learning with him and I would wholeheartedly recommend him, Thank you.

Bad instructor ! Zero professionalism

Hi, this was the worst experience ever!
I was in need of an instructor cos my practical test is soon. They gave me , Marcelo . It seemed like an okay guy until I’ve started my lessons. I need to say that I already had a previous practical test , over 30 hours experience . So I started with Marcelo and he took me from basic. First lesson I said okay, he needs to see where I’m standing . And I did. But after everytime I had a lesson with him he would take me over and over again from the beginning . He would say he would remember where I’m standing. I tried to have a chat with him and explained I need to be pushed more into learning more as my test is approaching fast he would let me drive after an hour and would say okay you can drive but then again would go back to basic cos he would remember . For me looked like he’s taking the time so I decided to cancel everything with him and go with a different driving school. He asked me to pay the cancelation . Which I did but I did tell him I will pay as soon as I can, I work in hospitality and I work a lot! And cos wasn’t when he wanted , he started harassing me with late calls and texts. I did transferred the money but again instead of checking the bank he continued to txt me a very long and disrespectful message . I did call the company but didn’t seem to take my complaint serious .
Watch out! You may be passing your test but after many many hours spent !

ATLAS were amazing

ATLAS were amazing. The best driving school. And Peter was such a very cool instructor. Very friendly with so many great skills. So much better than the other instructors I had met. I’m happy I met Atlas and Peter. The best in town

I am writing to make a formal complaint…

I am writing to make a formal complaint regarding the poor service I have received from one of your instructors.

I began my driving lessons in February of this year and have been taking lessons regularly, mostly on weekends. However, after several months of instruction, I realised that I had not been taught key skills such as parking. I raised this concern with your office, and soon after that, the instructor began to introduce parking techniques into the lessons — which only confirmed my concern that vital areas were being neglected until I spoke up.

To make matters worse, after a few weeks, the instructor sent a message saying his car was at the mechanic. Since then, I have not heard from him. I followed up after a week to ask if the car had been fixed, but I received no response at all. I find this highly unprofessional and disappointing.

I have invested a significant amount of time and money into these lessons, and I expected a much higher standard of instruction and communication. I would appreciate it if you could take this matter seriously and let me know what steps will be taken to resolve it — whether that means assigning me a new instructor immediately or offering a refund for the time lost.

I look forward to your prompt response.

MARIAM is an amazing driving instructor! I feel so lucky to have found her. She's patient, explains everything really clearly, and has made me feel so much more confident behind the wheel. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great driving teacher!
