I booked some lessons for my foster child and on only her second lesson the instructor told her “she will never be able to drive a manual because she cannot find the biting point on the clutch” telling her she will only ever be able to drive an automatic and she will not be willing to teach her again.

It was indeed the best driving experience I had with EXL. Very professional and maintaining high standards of excellence. My instructor (Richard) is a gem of a person, he makes even the hardest tasks look so easy. He is punctual and he knows his thing. I would dedicate my success to his relentless and tiring efforts. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone for great lessons and learning experience and I can guarantee a sure shot pass. Cheers. Dr. Talal Safdar Read Less

I couldn't recommend EXL enough!! EXL as a company are brilliant and very professional! If it wasn't for these guys I don't reckon I would've passed in 8 days after turning 17! John (my instructor) was such a nice guy and showed me and helped me go from 0 experience to as much experience as I could get! I went to their track in Harlow before I turned 17 so they could assess me and teach me manoeuvres etc before my intensive course. I would recommend anyone to use their track as you get to meet everyone and get used to the vehicles!Read Less

I was having driving lessons with one of their instructor (Dave ), gave me an appointment and told him that day will not be favourable for me because of childcare issues. He told me he will get back to me and that was the end of it. Didn't hear from him or anybody again. I don't know if that's how they treat their customers. Well l have passed just at one attempt with another driving school. I am very much disappointed in EXL Read Less

You don't need lessons from them to know they are a bunch of rude, ignorant people. Put up with an instructor today who decided to show his student the engine directly opposite my driveway. 100 yards of road to park the car in but he decides to park in front of the only driveway on that stretch of road making it difficult to manoeuvre our car out. Everytime I meet a selfish, inconsiderate driver I will think there goes another person who passed with EXL. Read Less

My partner paid £99 as a gift for me for a block of 5 lessons. My instructor (the owner Peter Webb) failed to turn up for the lessons on multiple occasions all last minute so we decided to go with another company and cancelled the lessons. We were promised a refund due to the poor service. Have left multiple messages for a refund of money and all calls have been ignored and no one has got back to us. This was now 3 months ago... still no refund! We found the service very unreliable and dishonest Read Less

Booked lessons for my son. Even though I received many sms messages the instructor did not turn up. I called the office only to be told he should be there. Finally got call from instruction saying he is off sick. The people in the office know nothing about it. They were suppose to call me back to arrange lesson for my son. After two days, still no one called back. I do not recommend anyone using this company. They seem to be very poorly organised and certainly no customer service to talk about. I would like to award no star but one star is the minimum I can post. Read Less
