Written by the company

We offer manual and automatic driving lessons in Merseyside. We are a small but expanding driving school that trains its own driving instructors at our training facility in the north of Liverpool. This is so we can ensure the 5 star reputation that its owner Matt has kept for over 11 years. Matt opened Driving Lessons Liverpool opened in July 2018 and shortly brought in Paul to deliver automatic driving lessons. With the growing success and continued quality assurance we then helped Ste qualify as a driving instructor in 2019. We have now started training more Trainee Driving Instructors to which we currently have active PDI's on the road with more waiting to be at the stage to deliver driving lessons to the local community. With the changes in how future driving is looking, many of our driving instructors and trainees offer automatic driving lessons. Look out for our driving instructors on the road, they are easy to spot as all our roof-boards are GOLD with 5 gold stars on.

Driving lessons with Simon

Driving lessons with Simon
I have passed my driving test today and would like to say a massive thank you to Simon! I had roughly 2 years of lessons prior in a manual with numerous instructors and no one has ever believed in me, Motivated and supported me like Simon, I passed after 24 hours of lessons and could not of asked for someone better, he deserves all the credit!

Brilliant driving instructor

Passed my driving test today after having lessons with Simon. He was so patient, made me feel confident and was very friendly. After having a few questionable driving instructors he was a breathe of fresh air.

He is truly in it for his students after just a few lessons he told me I needed to book my test and when I got a cancellation didn’t push me to move it further back just so he could keep me having lessons.

Highly recommend thank you so much

UNBELIEVABLE INSTRUCTOR!

Matt has been incredible. I was previously with unpleasant drivers in the past before being a pupil of Matts & he was so patient, calming & reliable. He would always give me advice on my test nerves which 100 percent worked & cracked down on all my habits previously learnt.

He truely wants the best out of his students. It’s been great to have gone through this experience with him & always pushing me to do my best & not give up.

I’ve passed, would highly recommend taking lessons with him, he will make sure you are are on top form and pass that test!

WOW!

WOW! What can I say about this absolute shambles of a Driving School - MATT who runs it! He’s a disgrace and the way he speaks to students is disgusting. So patronising it’s unbelievable.

MATT has decided to wipe my instructor & a lot of students off the books with absolutely no explanation what so ever. WEEKS before students have driving tests with not an ounce of remorse! Not even just a tiny message to keep us in the loop of what was going on… We had to get in touch with HIM to find out what was going on! So he’s left students in the lurch with no car just weeks before driving tests after months of hard work and a lot of money! Apparently this is not the first time he’s done this to students.

DO NOT BOTHER with this driving school unless you want to get throbbed off weeks before your driving test and left in the lurch. Lucky enough other driving schools have heard about what he’s done through group chats and an Amazing driving school has managed to get me squeezed in and give me a few more lessons before taking me to my test. I’m so so grateful they have done this for me after I’ve been left in absolute tears because of what Matt the owner of this Driving school has done! Scumbag is the only word for this pathetic excuse of a man. AVOID at all costs!

Let us set the record straight about this 1-star review and complete untruthful comment left by this person.
Firstly, this individual is a friend of their driving instructor, that was a trainee driving instructor with us.
As a trainee driving instructor they are sponsored by the school to gain experience giving driving lessons.
This driving instructor was leasing one of company dual control vehicles to deliver driving lessons, before going on holiday this driving instructor had their trainee badge sponsored by another driving school without informing us that they were leaving.
This instructor had informed all their students that they were leaving and joining another driving school, but that they would do all of their driving tests that were booked during September and then take the remaining students over to the new school at the end of September when they would be able to get another automatic dual control vehicle.
Due to the fact that their trainee instructor had not had any training in the last 6 weeks before their holiday, we contacted the DVSA to ask what we should do about this. The DVSA then informed us that the instructor had infact been sponsored by another driving school a few weeks ago.
We then removed the instructor from our group chat and deleted them from our diary app. The instructor then contacted us to find out why they had been removed from both and when we did not reply, they contacted this person to find out what had happened. When we told this person why their app was not working and that their instructor had left, they then contacted the instructor, and the instructor told them to leave negative reviews all over social media and review sites about this company.
We offered to help with their driving tests, but they decided to inundate the company with horrible messages and threatening to leave negative reviews all over social media and on our review sites.
We even got told that they would get others involved to try and get the company closed down.
All the information mentioned in this review can only come from their driving instructor as the owner never met them.
It was infact their driving instructor that let them all down, not us as we were unaware of the situation, but as their instructor now works for another school, we were not willing to allow them to represent this company using our branded driving school vehicle.

If you wanna get screwed over while in…

If you wanna get screwed over while in run up to test because the owner thinks it's ok to screw over your instructor whose on holiday, then THIS is the company for YOU!
I've PASSED my theory yet for some reason every bit of my progress has been deleted with not one tx to tell me why.
Not surprised this company has been slated, ran by a clown who says it's ok to use one hand on steering while reversing during test (automatic fail idiot), passes his own students to others coz he can't be arsed doing automatic anymore, takes credit for people passing that failed under him..
Could go on but list is endless about matt...
If you're with this company LEAVE
He doesn't know his ass from his elbow

In response to that essay I've just laughed at as I can't reply for some reason..

Did I know my instructor? Yes.
You on the other hand, I'd not known.
My instructor didn't tell me anything, it was my friend who'd had a test booked for after he was back and had to cancel as you took car off him.
You never once came out in car and as my instructor was a trainee, YOU had the responsibility of making sure that we were getting the right training by YOUR employee!
My instructor had to pay another trainer to get training because YOU never came out with him ONCE.
As for all that other stuff, are you actually being serious?!
I've every text message that shows our conversation that had nothing to do with him & everything to do with you and if you would like to take this further, then do so as you're the one that's had how many company's which haven't lasted? I done my research stupidly after all this happened as if I'd done it before, I'd NEVER of went with your company in the first place!
You even text me at a ridiculous time of night, which I found extremely unprofessional.
Plus how many times did you block then unblock then block me?

And now this review leaves no hope for anyone learning to drive that has one arm as according to this person its an automatic fail to use one arm when reversing.
They also mention about how the owner takes credit for others that failed under him, by this they mean their instructor took a student to a driving test for the owner, (as they had mechanical issues with their car) but the student did not have any lessons with their instructor.

Edit - as you keep altering your review, we have decided to not respond further as the comments you are making means you are not truthful in your review.

If a complaint should come in (and they rarely do), they are dealt with swiftly. You started your complaint after our office hours had closed and with a friend took instantly to social media to bad mouth the company, when you all knew exactly what was happening.

In relation to paying another trainer - also not true they paid a retired examiner that used to conduct driving instructor tests in order to get an assessment for readiness of their test and as your instructor would not attend training they failed their second attempt also.

The issue of taking the car from the instructor is because they had left, which means you should take the problem up with them and their new school not being able to provide another automatic vehicle.

6HR crash course with Matt

I did a 6 hour crash course with Matt (Matthew Longworth) which went great, previously had lessons with another driving school that wasn’t the best, in comparison, DLL is much better. Matt’s a top instructor; relaxed with great tips to help you pass asap and the app makes tracking progress/booking lessons v easy!!
10/10 would recommend :)

After years of struggling with manual lessons I finally took the plunge and went for automatic. I wish I had done it sooner. Rafi was my instructor and within the first few lessons I knew I was going to be ok. He explained everything clearly, he was so patient with me l, calmed my nerves and boosted my confidence so much. I learnt more in the first few lessons I had with Rafi than I had learnt over the last 10 years with various driving schools. I passed my test first time yesterday with only 5 minors. I can’t thank Rafi enough, I would highly recommend.
