Will

Thank you so much Rod for helping our son pass his driving test on the first try, which was super important to him. He appreciated your clear feedback, easy to understand instructions and supportive style. The practice test the week before his actual test picked up the small points he needed to focus on to be confident and ready. The process was easy from start to finish, including booking lesson and test times and phone contact with the office. We were similarly impressed with Stuart who taught our older son to drive three years ago. We have recommended Eatons A1 Driving School to friends.

Damien I found your feedback and tips really helpful during my test and for driving in general. You were really encouraging, and it really helped to have you there before my test. Thank you!

Leah

I can't recommend Eatons A1 driving school enough. They are such lovely people to deal with and so accommodating. My son Alec had early lessons with Elliot and then more recently Arthur honed his skills prior to his practical driving test. Arthur has such a lovely rapport with clients and gave Alec excellent feedback. Needless to say Alec passed with flying colours. Thanks so much Eatons!

Daniel

Thank you for the patience and understanding you provided in teaching Dan the finer skills of driving, enabling him to pass his "P's" test first go. As a result of his (high functioning) Autism and ADHD he struggles when meeting new people and becomes very anxious with anything or anyone new. You took the time to learn what makes him tick and as a result he felt comfortable with you from the start. I would (and have already) recommend you to anyone looking for a driving instructor and I will be contacting you to teach Dan's girlfriend and her brother when they are ready for lessons.

Kevin

Michael is the best driving instructor. Thank you for assisting me in achieving my P's 10/10

Very pleased with Peter teaching our daughter to excel in her manual driving skills resulting in her getting her licence first time. Peter made her feel very comfortable from the first lesson and she really enjoyed her lessons and the learnings each time. An excellent experience all round and fantastic result - thanks Peter!

Royce

One of the best decisions we have made on choosing Damien to help our son learn to drive. From the very beginning of matching the instructor to the very end of finishing it off, it was the very best experience. Can’t recommend highly enough for Damien and A1 Eaton’s driving. The reception staff always got back to me even when I called the office before opening hours and not leaving a message. Looking forward to starting the learning to drive journey for my next child soon.

Jake

Huge thanks to Ryan for getting my son through his driving test (manual) first time! Also special shout out to Sandie for excellent customer service with bookings and enquires. We found it helped giving our son professional tuition before getting in a car with us. The driving test package was also something I’d recommend. Thank you A1 Driving School!

Brody

Damien Coombes was an excellent driving instructor! I booked 5 lessons towards the end of my 100 hours to help refine my skills before my test and he did such an amazing job opening my eyes up to all the little things that I didn't realise were an issue! I passed first go thanks to him and would definitely recommend for any future learner driver!!

Sophie

From the start, Peter has always been reinsuring, positive and helpful. He has been so kind and patient with me over the past couple of years. I have learnt so much and I’m forever grateful.

Zac

Peter is a fabulous instructor. He’s provided the finesse both my boys needed to pass their driving test on the first go. He made them feel completely at ease when in the car, he engages them in conversation and his patient nature ensures they don’t feel pressured or stressed when learning. An all round good bloke who is an excellent teacher. We have no hesitation in recommending Peter.

Great company with Phil and Jim being really supportive instructors. Thank you

100% recommend Ryan. He helped my daughter pass her manual test 1st go.

Thankyou so much for helping Harrison pass his driving test. He lives with ASD and we never thought we would see this day. Thankyou for your professionalism and kindness when there were a few bumps in the road. Harri is the last child of 4 to get their licence and you have been exceptionally organised ,informed and generous with your time to give advice when needed. Thanks so much again Sue

Zaine

Stuart was amazing with our son. Very patient and realistic with the real driving world scenarios. Highly recommend.

Zachary

Whatever you're paying Ryan, pay him more. He's methodical, precise and explains everything with clear intent. I came in with a clear plan and Ryan did everything he could to help execute that plan. He built confidence without making me feel dumb, helped me fix the little things, and after failing the test so many times I was able to do it with his guidance. Ryan should be training instructors. The only way I can describe him is - he's on point. Every lesson. Every time. Big big thankyou to Ryan for giving me tools I needed to fix this problem of failing the last 5 times. Love you man!

Cheryl

An excellent trainer who has an aura about himself that is so calming & relaxing, makes a nervous person so comfortable. He went over and beyond to accomadate and take me for driving lessons even at 5:30am in the morning since I was a working person. I moved from Dubai to Brisbane, which was a big change from driving on the left side to the right. My 1st lesson with Phil was an eye opener, he quickly overcame my confusion of which side of the road I needed to be on. Amazing technique that took away my fear immediately. I have yet to see a trainer like him. Every time I drove with him he boosted my confidence with each class. After having failed two driving tests, I had to ask for his presence in the car for my 3rd attempt as he just calmed my nerves by just being around. Even though he sat in the back seat with not a word to be said I knew I could not go wrong with him around. And Voila! what an experience I cracked the test and came out with flying colours. EatonsA1 you have the best driving instructor in the house, and he is an asset to have. Will surely be getting him to teach my daughter driving when she comes in December. Phil Well Done! Keep up the excellent driving skills you impart to your students. I will highly recommend you to my friends and colleagues wanting to learn driving.

Dave

I would like to acknowledge Ryan for his assistance in providing my son with instruction and guidance during his recent driver training experience. He advised me that Ryan was very clear in his instructions and patient with him during his training. He gave excellent advice prior to his driving test and found him to be very relatable during the whole process. Thank you, Ryan, for your assistance, it was first class.

Faith

thank you so much Michael for the skills you taught me in the couple of months that you were teaching me, i appreciate everything. i would definitely recommend Michael to any of my friends who are looking for a driving instructor

Joshua

Stuart was a great teacher and made me feel super comfortable at the wheel driving manual for the first time. No judgment or attitude from him at all would highly recommend Stuart for anyone learning to drive.

Sam

Thanks Rod for assisting our son in getting his licence on his first attempt. You were always patient and knowledgeable and we appreciate it. We have had three children learn to drive through EatonsA1 and each earned their licence on their first attempt. Thanks again Rod and EatonsA1

Grace

Michael was amazing. My daughter received 3 lessons from Michael (1 being pre test) and she felt she learnt more from him in this short time frame than all of the lesson she had previously combined. Passed the driving test with flying colours. Michael was calm, informative and listened during lessons ang gave great feedback to learn from. Thank you Michael.

Peter has been great. He did a lovely job teaching Toby and was always willing to chat to use as parents and give advice.

James

I loved learning with Geoff. I had him as my instructor for a few lessons last year when I first got my L plates, and for the last few before my test. He really helped me to fine tune my skills and get though my test successfully first time.

Mam

Damien deserves a 10 Star Rating.
He was professional, welcoming, polite, friendly and most importantly, patient.
He took his time to explain things well (as English is my second language) and was genuinely committed to assist me to get my Australian licence first time.
I would highly recommend him.

Dylan

Damien was a considerate driving instructor. He was really calm, even in stressful situations like where a car cut in front of me, which helped me as a learner. He taught me in a way that I could easily understand and execute. Because of his instruction I passed my driving test first go! I'd recommend Damien to anyone who wants to learn how to drive.

Alyssa

Elliot went out of his way to successfully enable my grand daughter to achieve her license for which we are truly appreciative.
Elliot’s customer service and expertise are amazing

Rohen

Philip was the perfect teacher I needed for this. He was a very calm instructor and would guide me at a pace I was comfortable with. In the past, on the day of my test I would usually feel nervous but I was very calm going into this test with the help of Philip. His attitude to driving and teaching was a driving factor in me succeeding during my learning time and test. His instructions and insight were very valuable and clear.

Kind regards,
Rohen

Dempsey

Ryan has been fantastic with our son. He has been reliable, flexible and kept his sense of humor which I think is always critical as a driving instructor! Our son doesn't talk much but he has enjoyed his lessons.

Thank you Pete
