ACE driving school has been wonderful in helping my son achieve his manual licence. His instructor, Grant is a patient, kind, and highly experienced mentor who helped boost my son’s confidence and driving skills so well that despite having ADHD and anxiety, my son achieved his provisional licence on his first go. Thank you Grant and to the team at ACE Driving School.

I just passed my driving test on the first attempt today after having manual lessons with Grant and I can't thank him enough! I'm a slightly older P-plater (22) and have had a pretty difficult time learning to drive. I've always been nervous behind the wheel, and even once I could drive around well enough with my parents — without particularly good technique — I procrastinated booking lessons due to social anxiety. I tried a couple of other instructors from different schools but found that they were too intense and I just wasn't comfortable in the car with them. Then I found Grant, and decided in my first lesson to stick with him until the test! He's very knowledgeable of course, but never overwhelmed me with information that wasn't necessary. He would always tell me when I made a mistake or if there was something I could improve on, but not in a way that made me feel judged or discouraged. He seemed to understand my anxiety without me having to say too much about it, and really helped to reassure me and calm some of my nerves before the test. I can't recommend Grant and Ace enough — particularly if you have a similar story to me. You're probably more capable of being a good driver than you think!

Ronan Hambly has just given your business a 5 star rating! Grant is a very patient, kind, understanding and highly experienced instructor. My son is ADHD and has anxiety issues. It took time and care for him to become confident enough to learn how to drive and go for his driving test. Thanks to the wonderful qualities and character Grant possesses, my son achieved his provisional licence on his first test. He is over the moon and this has given him a genuine boost of confidence which would not be possible without his persistence and Grant’s mentoring. Thank you so much and best wishes

My daughter had manual lessons with Grant over a couple of months. Grant was always punctual with the lessons & was very open to giving feedback. My daughter reported Grant to be patient with her, as well as being spot on with teaching her exactly what she needed to know. I fully entrusted Grant to advise on how many lessons my daughter needed, & he was spot on. Grant gave her the confidence she needed. She passed her manual driving test first go. Huge thanks to Grant & the team at ACE for always being professional & understanding. ??????????

I would highly recommend Grant for any manual learners in Brisbane. I was an anxious driver and Grant was extremely patient with me and happy to progress on my terms in the beginning. Even when I made mistakes, he remained calm which helped me eventually get over my fear of driving. His instructions for different manoeuvres were easy to follow and he encouraged me to get out of my comfort zone and confidently drive in unfamiliar environments. I passed my test today on the first try! Thanks Grant and Ace Driving School for turning something that I initially feared into a very positive experience.

Grant has been an excellent driving instructor. Although I spent minimal time with him, from the moment I meant him I was relaxed. The advice and instructions I received were easy to grasp and implement, notably due to his calm tone. I can and will happily recommend Grant to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and friendly instructor. If not for his approach, I believe I couldn't have passed my driving test first try.

I had Grant as my driving instructor for 2 weeks right up until my driving exam. He was an absolute legend in helping me pass. His calm and patient attitude made it very easy to pick up on the mistakes I was making in the car. I would absolutely recommend him for anyone trying to learn how to drive a manual!

Ace as well as a driving company was very easy to organise lessons over the phone and user friendly to book online.

I’m 100% happy with the experience I had with the overall company!
