Changing Lanes Driver's Education Ltd.: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Wilma was great with my daughter! Very patient making her feel very comfortable Thank you
Fantastic experience: My child is from out of town, and Alex was so accommodating and flexible in scheduling last-minute driving lessons. Thanks to Alex, my son was able to get his license.
Fantastic experience: I was someone who was extremely anxious at the thought of driving, to someone who is now a confident driver! Alex was patient, kind and professional. I did the 5 package lesson and used his car for the road test, and passed first try. Something I never thought I was capable of! Thank you so much for everything!
Fantastic experience: Wilma has helped all three of my boys with their driving lessons. She is amazing. My boy’s throughly enjoyed your time! Thanks so much for assisting them with getting there license
Thank you so much for the review! And we are so glad you had just a great experience with Wilma. She is fantastic, and we are lucky to have her. :) Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns, or if we can be of any further service. Sincerely, ~Alex (Owner)
Fantastic experience: We had the absolute pleasure to have Leah as an instructor. Her and Alex went above and beyond to help my daughter succeed. I cannot thank them, or recommend them enough for this great experience!!! Thank you so much ❤️
Hi Kathy, Leah is awesome, and I'm glad to hear you had such a positive experience with Changing Lanes. We're lucky to have her on our team, and we deeply appreciate the support of our small business. :) Please reach out to us if you ever have any questions or concerns. We're here to help.

Fantastic experience: I recently had the pleasure of working with Alex at Changing Lanes Driving School for my daughter's driving assessment before her N test. Alex was incredibly kind and compassionate, which made a significant difference for my daughter, who was feeling quite anxious about the experience. He went out of his way to accommodate her schedule and spent an hour with her, during which he identified a few areas for improvement. Importantly he clearly communicated important information and instructions throughout the lesson. He even offered her an additional hour of instruction if she wanted it, which showed his commitment to her success. Thanks to his guidance, my daughter felt more confident and prepared. The following week, she successfully passed her N test without any issues. The $100 fee for the assessment was well worth it, considering the quality of instruction and support provided. I highly recommend Alex and Changing Lanes Driving School for anyone looking for a supportive and effective driving instructor.

Fantastic experience: Alex is a really great instructor-knowledgeable, patient and super helpful. This is the second time he has provided good service to our family.
Hi, It was an absolutely pleasure to help both times! Just like his brother, Colton nailed the task to the wall and then some. He clearly understood the safety factors, and his examiners were impressed with his driving. Please reach out if you ever have any questions or concerns. We're here to help. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: Frankly Alex always has lots of lessons to share, even if you are from another country and a ten years experience driver. Appreciate your decent attitude and highly recommended for international learners.
Hi Bahram, Thank you so much for the review and your kind words. It was an absolute pleasure to be of service to you, and help you understand the expectation of ICBC regarding your driving. It's always a challenge adapting to a new culture, and this is no different for a "driving culture". You did amazing well, and once you understood what they wanted to see, you were able to pass the test easily. Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you. It's a pleasure to serve. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about Alex! As a mature driver who was terrified to get behind the wheel he had his work cut out for him. After just a few lessons I was relaxed and became much more confident. I am now a licensed driver and could not have done it without him.
Hi Haley, Thank you so much for your kind words! It was an absolute pleasure to be of service to you. I am deeply gladdened that you found our service of value, and please, reach out to me if any questions or concerns arise. I'm still fully at your service! Sincerely, ~Alex

Thank you so much for the kind words! We love what we do at Changing Lanes, and it is a pleasure to be of service to you. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: Alex Peden is a great instructor. He likes to joke with you to maintain a good mental state when operating on the road. He is also able to give a lot of insights in operating the vehicle, operating on the roads, parking lots and whatever you want to ask him while keeping the language extremely simple and easy to understand. You can trust him 1000% on the road to focus on what you need to improve on during the lessons. Mistakes and bloopers are highly encourage for beginners as Alex has your back and will give immediate feedback so you start applying the lessons after the fact. Cannot recommend Alex enough as a driving instructor. With all the plus points aside, a great instructor does not guarantee your learning curve as intentional practices and attention are required on the learners' half.
Thank you so much for the kind and thoughtful review. It is a pleasure to work with you In-Car and to be of service to you. We are always here to help so don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or concerns. :) We love what we do at Changing Lanes, and it a joy to be of service to you. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: We are very happy with the service Alex provided. He was able to fit our son in for lessons and a road test in a very short time frame. The reports for each lesson were detailed and helpful. Our son felt he got a lot out of the lessons. We will be using him for our next child.
Hi David, Thank you so much for the kind review! It was a pleasure to serve your family, and work with him. We had fun in the lessons, and if he learned a lot, and you all found the service of value, that is music to my ears. We love what we do at Changing Lanes and it was a pleasure to be of service to your family. Sincerely, ~Alex

It was a joy to work with you Baylee! :) You did so well, and just nailed that test on the first shot! Amazing job and enjoy the well-earned freedom. Please reach out if you have questions. It's a pleasure to be at your service. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: Alex is absolutely amazing at what he does, you can tell right away he is in alignment with his purpose. He totally gets that driving is a mental and emotional experience, which allowed me to go in and learn knowing that he is there to support me throughout the process. I had a scary experience driving a long time ago, which I developed high anxiety, and I couldn't get in the car. I am driving now. So I highly recommend Alex, from Changing Lanes.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was a pleasure to get to work with you on this, and help you find your feet (erm... tires?) on this task. You did really well, and I love it when people understand the risks and safety needs of driving. You do so in spades! It's always a pleasure to be of service and help people overcome their anxieties surrounding driving. Just never lose that slight edge, and respect for the task. If you ever have further questions or concerns, please reach out to me. I'm here to serve. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: Great experience! As a newcomer could be hard to adapt to Canadian driving environment, they help me in the most efficient and friendly way to do it and now I have my driver's license. If you want a tailored solution for your driving needs, Changing Lanes is your best option in Vancouver Island.
Thank you so much for your kind words!! ☺️ It was a joy to help you, and I am so happy you had such a smooth transition to our BC Licensing system. Welcome to this beautiful province. Please contact me if you ever have queations or concerns. I am here to serve you.
Fantastic experience: Alan was awesome! I needed to adapt my previous driving skills to the Canadian and BC rules, so he gave me an assessment for enhancing my weak points. He has patience and always gives you feedback through a report after the lesson, which was very professional. The result: I approved on my first attempt and I could not be happier!
Hi Jhosseline, Thank you so much for choosing our company for your needs! It was a pleasure to be of service to you. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: I cannot express enough gratitude to Alex for the outstanding job he did by teaching my daughter to drive. He helped her obtain her Class 7, and when she was ready to challenger her Class 5, I was thrilled to find out he could offered a refresher class. He ensured she was fully prepared and helped to build her confidence. Her success is a testament to Alex's exceptional teaching skills, patience, and genuine care for his students. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive instructor.
Hi Pam, Thank you so much for the review! It was a pleasure to help her back in my Young Drivers of Canada days, and now that I have my own company to continue to do so! She was always a joy to work with, and it's great to see students keeping up their excellent driving habits. It has been a pleasure to be of service to your family! Please reach out if you have any questions. I'm also super happy that I can now offer the Drivewise BC Zoom classes as an affiliate school for anyone looking for full GLP courses. Sincerely, ~Alex
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend getting driving lessons with Alex! He is friendly and an excellent teacher. I felt instantly relaxed with him. He gives good directions and explains the rules of the road in ways that make sense.
Thank you so much for the kind words! :) It's a pleasure to be of service to you. We love what we do, and deeply thank you for supporting our small business. Sincerely, ~Alex
