Couldn’t recommend Uncle Joe enough

Couldn’t recommend Uncle Joe enough, helped me become comfortable on the roads with everything. He was flexible with my pick up times and locations and was so easy to get along with, to have conversations with but also learning as well.

I'd like to thank my instructor Joe for being so professional, friendly and patient with me. During my lessons with Joe I learned everything I needed to know about driving safely and confidently. He was flexible with my lesson times and pickup locations, which was very convenient for me. His constant guidance and clear explanations made it very clear what had to be done. He balanced teaching with friendship, and it was all so easy to work with him. I highly recommend him. I will truly miss my lessons with Uncle Joe.

Uncle Joe the best instructor

Uncle Joe, as an instructor, instils confidence in your driving abilities. He makes driving so simple and even when things aren’t going well as a learner, he takes the time to analyse, encourage and guide you through the process getting you back on the road.

Joe took me on very last minute and helped me pass my test taking a considerate approach to his instruction giving me the confidence and knowledge required to get over the line. Can't speak highly enough of him both as a driving instructor and a person.

The best driving instructors experience…

The best driving instructors experience I had. Started taking lessons after I failed my first test and he really put me at ease. Booked just few lessons with him and he walked me through everything step by step. He helped me book my test immediately and I passed my first test I booked after lessons with him.

Uncle Joe is a fantastic

Uncle Joe is a fantastic, confident and a highly skilled instructor.
He assessed my level of driving on the very first lesson and structurally planned my lessons in order to fine tune my driving skills.
He is so methodical and highly precise in what he wants. He is a perfectionist and once we satisfy his level of expected competency we can really master that particular area.
Eventhough I moved away from Manchester he kept in touch with me and helped me to book test dates without expecting an extra penny. This quality is highly appreciated truly valued. I haven't seen any instructors who are focused only on perfectionism.
If you wanna get your driving sorted I don't think you have any other choice other than Uncle Joe. Highly recommended to approach him and work on your driving skills.
I wish Uncle Joe a healthy and a happy life.

Uncle Joe Driving School - Trustworthy and Competent

I would recommend Uncle Joe's driving school to all my friends and family members. Uncle Joe is passionate towards his students. He does not over complicate driving but at the same time shares direct feedback with the learners. This direct feedback was very helpful for me in clearing my test as i understood my opportunity areas and he helped me focus on them repeatedly. I am pleased to state that he was more happier than me when i passed my test, that shows his passion and belief in his learners. Thank you Uncle Joe :)

Best decision I made was to stick to Uncle Joe Driving school

Passing my driving test like a high mountain before me. I faced pressure from not wanting to disappoint friend and family, there was a deadline for my new job that required that I passed my driving test. Meeting these deadline or not had its impact on my visa so I had a lot of pressure to deal with along with the nerves that come with practical driving test. Uncle Joe understood the assignment and he got me ready within a very short time. I loved that he could " diagnose " what my internal struggles were and helped me build confidence and and focus on other problem areas till I got them right. How I passed this test quickly remains a miracle to me. Thank you for being professional, kind, considerate and genuinely committed to my success. You are the best.

An Excellent Driving School

Uncle Joe’s driving school is one of an exceptional standard and one that puts its students first. It provides a friendly and effective service in order to pass your driving test first time as Joe adapts his teaching techniques to suit the specific student. He is professional but also cares for those he teaches and I would definitely recommend him to any learner, new and old! I was able to pass first time thanks to Joe.

‘Uncle Joe’ isn’t just a catchy headline

‘Uncle Joe’ isn’t just a catchy headline, Joe truly does make you feel valued, confident, assured and safe from the very start, such that after 2 minutes with him it feels like you have known him for years. His relaxed and calming manner is integral to his style of enabling his students to flourish behind the wheel without any pressure, as he builds up your skillset at a pace that is both suitable for your confidence, as well as the level he believes you can achieve. Joe helped me to pass in just 11 2-hour lessons after no previous driving experience, an achievement I believe is largely down to Joe’s guidance. I would not hesitate to recommend Joe to drivers of all capabilities.

5* best driving instructor around!

Being in my mid thirties and having had many lessons when I was 17, I’d resigned myself to the fact that I was never going to pass! I thought I would never find an instructor that would make me feel at ease. But by chance in May this year I came across uncle Joe and thought.. I’m going to give it one more go. It was easily the best decision I have made, within six month I had passed! Uncle Joe - you’re a lifesaver! Surely the best instructor around

My Experience

God works in mysterious ways. I don't know where to begin. I started to learn how to drive since 2013 but i never passed. I remember being on the bus and sat at the top approaching home when i saw uncle joes car so i took a photo of the car and gave him a call. Within less than three months with uncle joe i passed my driving test. Even before i passed with uncle i introduced someone to him who also passed the first time. Uncle joe you are not just a driving instructor you are truly an angel sent from heaven. Your professionalism, time, encouragement, caring nature just to name a few, indeed patience is virtue. You are part of my testimonies Uncle joe. There is this particular place when i drive past which reminds me of the advice you gave me. You have made me realise that there are still some great people out there. You did not know me from anywhere but you took me as your very own. Within the short period of meeting you you taught me so much. These simple words of gratitude are on there way to you to thank you for your kindness and the help you've given. Sometimes its not easy when we're trying to express how someone has touched our lives and brought such happiness. I hope these words can manage to perfectly convey how the caring that you've shown has brightened up each day but then i guess there's only so far that words can go because your time and thoughtfulness means more than you could know.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
