Having had several instructors over the years I can easily say Eddie is one of the best. Had an intensive course of lessons after not driving at all in years and passed no problem. Strongly recommended. Read Less

Despite contacting Able driving school at very short notice, they managed to fit in time for me, thank you. My driving Instructor was very competent, friendly and patient while explaining his instructions in a very effective way. He knew the area very well and in the short time managed to point out all the "danger zones". My test was in Shieldhall (Glasgow) and despite not knowing the are beforehand I passed first time (in said area). I really enjoyed the lessons and would strongly recommend ! Aaron Read Less

When i first contacted Able they got the instructor to phone within about a week from making first call. I explained i work shifts and will need to fit the lessons around my shifts! When i first started the lessons the guy seemed nice enough except he is extremely stressed and wants to shout your doing it wrong. I explained to him stop shouting. As i said first couple of lessons seemed okay. But when my shifts started interfering with the lessons i would txt him and it would take forever for him to txt/phone back. I felt he was too pushy towards the theory test . . Now towards the end of the lessons ( i thought i was still taken) i took unwell i ended up on 3 weeks worth of medication. I told him id need to cancel that weeks lesson but would contact him when feeling better. 3 weeks passed i txted him and phoned him I CANNOT GET A HOLD OF HIM HES WALKED AWAY WITH 2 AND A HALF WORTH OF BLOCKED LESSONS !!! AND YOU CAN PICK MALE OR FEMALE DRIVER INSTRUCTORS IT SAYS ON THE WEBSITE NO YOU CANNOT I ASKED FOR A FEMALE AND GOT LANDED WITH A MALE DRIVER!! DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY THEY ARE USELESS !!!!!

Able was recommended to me by a friend and, coincidentally, we were assigned the same instructor. The instructor was a nice enough guy but, professionally he was flaky, at best. He was not quick to reply to my texts and calls and the day before/morning of schedule lessons to reschedule or push them back. Not to mention, his car always smelled of cigarettes and wet dog! I took a break from the lessons and upon getting in touch to resume, the instructor was IMPOSSIBLE to reach. I wasn't expecting him to fit me into his rota immediately, but to simply respond with his availability. After several failed attempts to reach him via phone and text, I called the company. I had several exchanges with the proprietor, who told me he would work on 1.) getting a hold of the instructor (didn't work in the end), then 2.) getting me a new instructor. He kept saying he would find me a new instructor, but never made any attempts to. Instead, when I called for updates on the new instructor, he kept encouraging me to contact the original instructor. After weeks of this frustrating back and forth, I requested a refund which I was refused, owing to their "no refund on block booked lessons" policy. As this policy is only published on their website, I was unaware of it when I paid as I'd been given their number from my friend, so never saw their website! I am out over £100 in lessons that the company is refusing to provide. What is particularly disappointing is that I was made to feel like I was being a bother to the proprietor, instead of him taking my complaint seriously and working to resolve it quickly and courteously. Perhaps this type of customer service is acceptable to young, inexperienced drivers, but for an adult expecting professionalism, LOOK ELSEWHERE! Read Less

Instructors are unreliable and takes 2/3 texts to get a text back just to arrange a lesson. Constant cancellations and the first instructor i had was constant cancelling and unavailable for weeks at a time meaning i went 3 months without a lesson, i then complained and was given another instructor who took over a week to get in contact after the complaint. This instructor then also cancelled lessons several times and now over a year later it is taking weeks to book a test as he is constantly unavailable. Read Less
