Fantastic experience: He’s the best when it comes to truly mastering the art of driving. He’s such a good instructor and teacher when it comes to knowing how to put the pedal to the metal in the most skilled and brilliant way. If you want to be your very best when it comes to learning how to drive and gaining that consistent knowledge and proving your skills when it comes to test time then there’s nobody better to come too then Wheezy. He is your key to being your very absolute best when it comes to driving. I’m proud to say as a New Fully Licensed Driver that I had the absolute best, motivating and insightful experience even down to the final moments as we waited in the car for the instructor to come before I started my Road Test and Wheezy was giving me the best advice on how to be successful during my test. I used every piece of his knowledge, practices, defensive driving mindset to fully be focused and locked in to achieve my G. There is nobody better to help you then Wheezy(Shane). He’s the best at what he does. -Alexander Bowerbank
Fantastic experience: Shane is really one of the best driving instructors I had. I took 3 sessions from him just a day before my G license test. He was really accommodating with his schedule and took great effort to schedule a session just a few hours before my test, as a result of that final session, I passed. His knowledge and calm approach sets him apart from other instructors. I will be recommending him to my friends and family as well.

Fantastic experience: Shane is an exceptional driving instructor! As a new G1 driver, I was terrified, having struggled with two previous instructors. Shane’s laid-back, patient approach immediately put me at ease and made every lesson enjoyable. One of my biggest challenges was parallel parking, both front and reverse, which I was struggling with. In just one day, Shane taught me the proper steps, and I was able to master it! His ability to make me feel comfortable and confident was transformative. Thanks to his supportive and clear instruction, I passed my G2 on the first try after just a few lessons! Shane’s relaxed style and genuine encouragement make him the perfect choice for any new driver. I’m thrilled with my progress and will definitely be back when it’s time to prepare for my G license.

He is hands down the best in every way possible, he is very easy going and will motivate you every step of the way. I will definitely be utilizing his services in the future for my G licensing, thanks again Shane!
Negative experience: Honestly, take your money elsewhere. The instructor himself knows basic skills (nothing legendary), but most of the time he's too preoccupied taking phone calls, texting and not really paying attention. He steals right from people, by cutting lessons short and failing to show up on time. The in-class lessons consist of a teacher/owner that talks about her self, her cars, and her success story. When trying to inquire about appointments after spending hundreds of dollars here (on premium packages and additional lessons) I was given attitude and not treated as a valuable client. Avoid!
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience with driving skills academy. I just passed my g2 after a couple lessons with Shane and I only have good things to say! When I first started driving, I usually experienced some hesitation and nervousness just because it was so new. Shane really helped me work on the areas I needed to and helped developed the skills I already had to allow me to become a super confident driver. Plus he's just good company and makes the whole experience of learning how to drive very comfortable. Will be coming back when i'm about to take my G test!

He boosted my confidence and comfortability with driving. He teaches the basic skills in a very clear and precise way that was very easy to learn and understand and was very supportive and calm during lessons. I felt very safe learning how to drive with him , Thanks to all of his help I passed my G2 test on my first try. Highly recommended.
