Testimonials

Neil

Peter was a wonderful instructor. Our twin boys felt very comfortable with him. He provided plenty of valuable feedback to both the children and to us too. They are a lot more confidant driving the manual car following the lessons. Highly recommended!

Lachlan

The lessons were fantastic and completely worthwhile. Always on time, super relaxed, with very clear and helpful instructions. I felt far more competent and confident driving and progressed way faster than I expected.

Charlize

Thank you to Geoff for your patience and wonderful teaching style to help attain the manual licence. Thanks to Sandy in the office for organising the lessons and test. I would highly recommend Geoff to anyone wanting to get a manual driving licence. Thanks from Charlize Mum.

Rohan

In my own experience, Elliot is an excellent mentor and instructor, who makes sure your on the right track before your test. Highly recommended.

Cassie

Jim was absolutely amazing in my few lessons with him. He made me feel comfortable and confident in myself and my driving to help me pass my test. Couldn’t recommend anyone else better. If you’re looking for a great driving school and instructor this is the place you want to go!

Henry

5 ?? doesn’t seem enough for Rod. He’s absolutely ,absolutely fantastic. Patient, thorough, calm, punctual and incredibly professional. I can’t recommend him enough. Also the team in office always sweet and friendly and very willing to help with any question or problem. Will see you again soon with our 16 year old daughter. Many thanks for making Henry’s introduction to driving such a great experience ??

Nina

A huge thank you to Rod Small for being an extraordinarily patient, kind, and skilled driving instructor. As a very anxious learner, I dreaded finding an instructor and was incredibly fortunate to have found Rod. Without his gentle coaching and empathetic approach I never would have had the confidence to overcome my anxiety and sit my practical test - let alone pass! I am so grateful for his expertise and tireless good humour and avidly recommend him to anyone seeking an instructor.

Savannah

Matthew

From the first time on the road, right through to the testing process, Peter was very supportive. Friendly office staff were always helpful, and went beyond expected. Thank you!

Amy

Damian has been an amazing instructor. He took my daughter for her first few lessons when she had only a few hours driving experience and was extremely nervous. Damian really helped her confidence and taught her so much. She then had more lessons with him when she was close to doing her test. She passed first time and that was due to Damians patient and careful instruction. I have now had 2 children go through Eaton’s A1 driving school with different instructors and both passed first time. I highly recommend Eaton’s A1 driving school!

Tahlia

Rod was an amazing instructor for my daughter.
We left it a bit later to get the paid lessons before my daughter went for "Big Test"
So we cramed 5 lessons into the last 5 weeks before the test and she passed with a perfect score.
All thanks to Rod's fine tuning of her skills.
His calm assuring nature gave her and myself the confidence to be a safe capable driver.
I saw her change after the first lesson with him.

Thank you so much Rod. Your the best

Riley

At first I was very scared to learn how to drive manual, it was very daunting and i never knew how to drive before. But Elliot helped me learn so much in my progression of driving on my learners and helped me get my P's. If it wasnt for him I would not have my license, very good instructor and very patient :)

Andy

I just got my license today, I feel happy & very grateful for having Ryan Manley, as a friendly instructor. Every lesson has been 100% informative, and taught me how to improvise and drive in different road situations. Although I am a non-native English speaker, he was very patient and understood me really well. He has explained logically how & why those driving details were made, it helped me to be fully equipped for the test. Thankfully, I passed as a first-time tester.

Lara

Damien was a great instructor, made me feel very comfortable on the road!

Chantell

Very thankful a friend recommended this driving school! I have put off getting my license for the longest time. Since starting my lessons, I have found it becoming a really enjoyable process. I started with a few manual lessons with Rod Small. Rod is a lovely and excellent instructor! He really explained the mechanics of the car, making it easier to understand how to drive it. Due to not having a manual car to practice in, I have moved to auto lessons. I had my first lesson with Damien Coombes, and he is just as lovely! Thank you both for taking the time to explain things. I finally feel a little closer to getting my licnese and realising it is not so scary! Thank you to the admin staff too, for being so nice and making things as stress free as possible. Very appreciative! Would highly recommend this school!

Erica

Lessons with Eatons A1 Driving school have been absolutely delightful. Thanks to all of the instructors for being able to handle nerves and anxiousness properly during lessons. A big thanks to Damien, especially, for pushing me in the right direction to get my Ps. I would recommend this driving school without a doubt!

Madeleine

I have thoroughly enjoyed Eatons A1 Driving school. I had some really bad experiences with other driving schools and teachers, which made learning to drive quite overwhelming. However, Rod has been an incredible teacher
and made learning to drive a fun and rewarding experience. I am so appreciative of Rod and his ability to teach so calmly and help me overcome my fears. I could not recommend this driving school more.

Jaime

I passed my driving test YAY! I couldn’t have done it with the help and support of Peter. Peter took a lot of care in ensuring that I learned the correct driving processes from day one and was always willing to share whatever knowledge he had. He was excellent at explaining techniques and road rules in a way which is simple to understand, going above and beyond to make sure I felt calm in all situations. I would highly recommend Peter to anyone learning to drive, he is friendly and a pleasure to drive with.

Noah

Instructors Dale and James were very patient, professional, and kind. Would highly recommend this driving school.

Harry

Highly recommend Eatons A1 driving school! and Instructor Rod. From the ease of bookings to the effort the team puts in to being flexible and help find opportunities for lessons. Really appreciated this aspect with providing lessons and also a driving test in between xmas and new year 2020. The team also gave up some of their holidays to enable some additional lessons which can't be undersold and shows they want you to succeed.

Great teaching style of the instructors and always felt safe and comfortable driving with Eatons. Already have been recommending Eatons to my friends.

We contacted Eatons A1 after a recommendation from a neighbour.
Sandy was lovely to deal with and very accommodating scheduling lessons around School and Sporting commitments.
Peter was fantastic in explaining everything to us both, taking the time to advise us what to work on between lessons.
We were very grateful Peter came in on his day off to take Max for a lesson leading up to his test. This was fantastic as test bookings are scarce due to Covid.
We would have no hesitation in highly recommending Eatons A1 Driving School and Peter.
They are a professional outfit and put the safety of their students first.
