What our trainees say
Owain Hopkins Gary is a fantastic instructor! Really helped me develop to a high standard of driving, and with extra tips to develop my driving skills and confidence as a driver.Highly recommended, as he was honest and open about where I needed to develop and how I need to achieve it.
Gary will not only get you to the standard of taking a test, but help you develop to surpass that.
Thank you for getting me to a first time pass! Ben Collis GS is a top-notch company that is price competitive, has some of the best instructors in the area, and most importantly cares about its students. Just 2 days before my C1 test I was driving like an idiot. I hit my wing mirror and stalled in the middle of the street, it wasn’t looking good for my test. However, The owner of GS Driver Training, Gary, personally stepped in when he heard about me and gave me the best lesson I’ve ever had 2 hours before my test. I passed 1st time with 3 minors! Would highly recommend these guys, they’ll sort you out.
