Fantastic experience: I had been driven with Jimmy and Al. They are very good, calm and professional instructors. Just passed today with 2 minor mistakes. I was a very nervous driver but now I can drive confidently. Jimmy is a very funny guy love to hangout with both of them. Thank you guys

Fantastic experience: After 50+ years of driving, I was concerned some bad habits might be creeping in so I took a one-hour refresher lesson from James (a.k.a. Jimmy). He gave me solid, clear instructions about side mirror positions and use, compensation for blind spots, and how to communicate and drive confidently and safely. No one is a perfect driver but I feel more aware of things I do well and things I can improve on. Thanks much!

Fantastic experience: I was a very nervous driver when it came to driving on public roads. Al was instrumental in calming my nerves and provided very clear instructions while I was driving, as well as feedback on areas where I could improve. I passed my road test on the first attempt, and I highly recommend this driving school.

Fantastic experience: Highly recommend booking with Jimmy. He was knowledgeable, personable and fun to talk to! I booked a two hour lesson for a “refresher” as I hadn’t driven for over five years as a result of failing my road test four times. I was not confident in my driving at all. But after the lesson, I felt really good. Passed my fifth road test with zero errors.

Jennifer Guilbault 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: Taking lessons with Jimmy was the best decision I could make!! He helped me become confident in my skills and shared very practical knowledge for the test and driving in general. Jimmy was friendly and very calm, which allowed me to be calm as well. He also gave me tips on how to better handle driving the family truck. I highly recommend him to help you pass your test too!!

Toyin Solomon 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Al is an excellent instructor. My son passed at 2nd attempt today, and all the driving tips he learned from Al saved the day. He said Al was very patient with him and was always ready to answer any question he had. He is over the moon with so much joy . I recommend Al to anyone looking to go for a road test, or looking for ways to master the parallel parking.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend using Jimmy's Driving School for either your road test or if you need a quick refresher to help improve. Al is one of the most Knowledgeable and patient instructors out there and for someone who is very nervous driver, his calming demeanor really shine through. Jimmy is patient and his easy going nature make you forget the anxiety you get when your driving. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I haven’t driven for a while since my last lesson. Only took a driving lesson and a warm-up before the road test with him and boom! I passed the test for the first try. His tips are absolutely helpful and his instructions are clear and easy to follow. Also, he is very patient with new driver.

Negative experience: Had a apt today for 4 pm booked last week and he emails me last notice to reschedule. No reasoning. Very unprofessional!

Thank you to the 4 other customers I had that day for being understanding and rescheduling your driving lessons. Sometimes life gets in the way of our plans. To all potential customers, I will always be this accommodating and considerate for you.

Caroline Liston 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TAKING LESSONS FROM JIMMY'S DRIVING SCHOOL! I had taken my lessons with Al and he is a very good instructor. I was very nervous about driving again and my driving skills/knowledge were at a level of someone who is freshly new to driving, because I have not drove for a long time after I had finished my drivers ed back in high school. But Al was very knowledgeable, patient, and calm, every appointment was valuable! I even passed my road test on my very first try and I could not have done it if it weren't for Al! 10/10.

Stephanie R 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I took the 4 lesson package with Al and was really impressed. He was friendly, very knowledgable, very patient, and calming even when I was super tense and nervous. I’ve been terrified of driving for years but now I’m almost fearless! I never thought I would ever be this confident on the road, next milestone is the road test so I’m looking forward to passing it soon Thanks so so so much for everything!

Ishpreet Kaur Nijhawan 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jimmy's Driving School. It was my fourth attempt and I took three classes from Instructor Al and he cleared all my doubts and helped me improve my faults. He was really calm and motivating which helped me to be confident on the test. It was the first time I drove in snow on the day of my test, he even taught how to handle the brakes and gas in such situation before the test. I am thankful to Al for helping me clear the Road test.

Carlos Cruz 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely recommend Jimmy. He's very knowledgeable, patient and friendly; an excellent instructor overall. I passed the road test with no problems after taking lessons with him, and I had never driven before. 5 out of 5 rating for sure!

Maro Maro 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who wants to drive and pass the road test in Winnipeg. After I took one hour driving lesson with him. He taught me the rules, techniques and gave me awesome advice on how to think and take decisions while driving. This helped me to pass my road test with no errors after I failed twice before.

RAY 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: When I first started to learn driving, I was extremely nervous. But Jimmy helped me immensely to get over the nervousness and build confidence in my driving and I eventually passed the road test. Jimmy is very professional and takes great care of his students' needs. He is profoundly knowledgeable with regards to traffic rules and his technical tips were Spot On. Parallel parking will be a piece of cake if you follow his tips! Jimmy is an excellent instructor and I wish him all the best!

Marc N 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: If you need a driving instructor I'd highly recommend Jimmy. His explanations are great and memorable which will really stick with you especially through the road test. Also if you're a visual learner he brings a mini white board and draws instructions as well. Good touch. During his lessons it's never quiet, he would always have tips/advice to give, and would help you get through being nervous. I passed on my first try. Thank you!

O.E P. 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have taken multiple lessons with Jimmy, starting out with 0 experience and I passed the road test. He is a very pleasant, unproblematic and experienced instructor. He communicates clearly and gives precise instructions. He also makes you feel very confident behind the wheel. His parallel parking techniques are superb and easy to follow. Learning with him has been a wonderful experience for me. I will strongly recommend him to anyone wanting to pass their road test.

Fantastic experience: Great instructor. Easy and fun to talk to, learned a lot, and I can without a doubt say that my driving has improved. Excellent to take before a road test.

Mel Nirza 6 years ago

Fantastic experience: Excellent instructor and highly recommended! Passed the road test at Bison Dr on first try because of Jimmy! Throughout the lesson, his instructions were clear and concise. While driving, he was in constant communication with me, telling me what I need to look at and what to think about (mirrors, speed correction, etc.) when maneuvering the vehicle, and I found this to be VERY helpful. Overall, his lesson was well structured. Before actually starting the driving lesson, he explained and outlined his game plan for the lesson. If I could give more than 5 stars in this review, I would without hesitation. Enroll in Jimmy's Driving School!

Anna Kolodka 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jimmy was amazing. Booked 1 lesson for my daughter on parallel parking and 1 pre - road test lesson and she passed her road test on the first attempt. She aced the parallel parking! Jimmy was on time, courteous, easy to talk to and most of all gave my daughter the confidence she needed to have to feel comfortable driving. He gave her great pointers and tips which made her feel more at ease. Prices for lessons are well worth it! I would highly recommend Jimmy to anyone who needs lessons or preparing for a road test!

Titika Galiatsi 7 years ago

Negative experience: Very unprofessional. I had booked my driving test date 2 months ahead and I had scheduled with Jimmy to drive me to my test, provide his car for the test and a lesson prior to my test. I had asked him if he would be available on that date almost a month before and he had agreed. Two hours before our scheduled final lesson and my test, he cancels. He did refund me for my test fee, but I am left with no reasonable notice, can't find anyone else available in such short notice to drive me to my test and I have to reschedule for a month later. Had I known, I would have chosen another driving school from the start.Wasted my money and my time on someone unreliable and unprofessional.

I had a last minute personal emergency. These things can't be planned for or anticipated. All I could do was offer to pay for your scheduled MPI road test and hope you would understand. $30 was sent via e-transfer that same day. I regret the bad experience you had with my driving school. Please except my sincerest apologies.

Navneet Chehal 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Amazing instructor. Being a professional driver himself, he knows his stuff very well. Very friendly, always on time and very patient. He took me to the busy streets, confusing intersections, highways and I believe this gave me enough confidence to clear my test in the first attempt. Parallel parking is a piece of a cake after he explains how to do that. He teaches everything from the common sense perspective and after taking lessons with him every road rule makes sense. He emphasizes on clarifying all the doubts. I highly recommend Jimmy as a driving instructor to any one who is planning to take road test.

Justin Horman 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Jimmy is very professional and friendly. I booked 3 lesson in 1 month total . He makes everything seems relaxing, and confidence, very flexible, never arrive late. No rush and make sure that you follow all the rules and important highlights for the test. Definitely recommended. Although, the cost is a little bit on the upper level, but I think it's totally worth it.
