I have always enjoyed teaching and relish the challenge of taking novices and developing them into safe, responsible drivers .
I am a patient instructor and can adapt to various different situations.

A huge thank you to my instructor Mr Patrick Garner. I passed my practical test FIRST time today which I couldn’t have done with out him and his positive attitude and fun sayings though out our lessons which really helped!! I highly recommend learning with Patrick as he is super patient (even during breakdowns which I had many) and made me feel confident and safe when drivingThank you so much for everything! See you out there. And remember: No running No ducking No hiding No begging & No excuses!
I passed my driving test FIRST time this week, all thanks to my amazing, volvo loving instructor, Patrick Garner! His lessons are super fun as well as informative, and without a doubt, will build your confidence behind the wheel. Despite constantly doubting myself, Patrick has always believed in me and pushed me to my full potential. Genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better instructor!Thank you Pat and thank you Pass. Highly recommend this driving school!!
I passed my test today with Patrick and I must say he is such a good instructor, he gave me a lot of confidence in myself and made me feel comfortable, I’m so happy I passed but I’m going to miss our lessons together, a massive thank you goes out to Patrick and I will be forever grateful, I highly recommend him.
I highly recommend Patrick Garner! After not doing lessons for over 4 years and doing them on and off for 8 years, I set a target that I would pass in under 4 months. Patrick gave me so much support and encouraged me to get it done and reassured me that I would pass. He had a lot of patience with me as I can get stressed with myself quickly and he didn’t let me give up which lead me to pass FIRST time with 0 driving faults. I cannot thank Patrick enough, amazing instructor!
I was taught by Patrick for 5 months, and I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. We bonded from the get go and gave me plenty reassurance when first starting whilst also making my lessons enjoyable. An all round great bloke and great driving instructor. I highly recommend Pat to anyone.
