A2Z of Motoring has traded for almost 40 years, and is still owned by the same family that set up the driving school in 1976. All A2Z pupils have FREE theory help and for added convenience we send them a text reminder the evening before every driving lesson. Progress is closely monitored, and scores are provided by email and are also available online.
Services
Established in 1976, A2Z of Motoring is a family owned driving school whose aim has always been to provide top quality driving lessons with local driving instructors at a fair but competitive price. We record your progress against A2Z's 34-point lesson syllabus and this data is available online 24/7 for you to check via the Pupil login section of our website. Because every lesson is accounted for, we are one of the few driving schools that can advertise an accurate pass rate.
Every pupil learning to drive with A2Z of Motoring is eligible for online help to prepare for his or her theory exam, using the largest online theory test resource available to learner drivers in the UK. FreeOnlineTheoryTests.co.uk contains over 900 mock theory questions from the DSA Revision Bank and, (at last count), almost 1600 additional questions, specially prepared by Approved Driving Instructors specifically for the FOTT website.
A2Z of Motoring covers much of Wales, and we're looking to expand all the time. Each A2Z instructor covers a large number of individual postcode districts, usually the areas closest to their homes so that they are familiar with those areas. If you are considering booking a driving lesson with A2Z, you'll be asked to provide a postcode for the address you want to have those driving lessons from, (whether that's a home address, or a work address, or whatever), and this will filter the available instructors who cover that area.
Chester has an impressive history dating back to AD 79 and while we may not have been around as long as Chester, A2Z of Motoring do have an impressive history dating back to 1976 and we are going from strength to strength. Today, our driving school covers South Wales and Chester. Our driving school franchise is very different to other driving schools' franchises.

I would have put 0 stars but I can't had a 2 hour lesson with Mike, before we started he said that I'm going to need lots of lessons before he even knew what my driving is 10 mins into the lesson and he's telling me to stop and descusing next lesson booking I would advise anyone not to waste your money with Mike

Wouldn't recommend totally waste of time and money, complained about one of the instructor on Friday and phone operator keep saying every time owner will call you to resolve the issue and until Monday didn't hear anything from him, operator said he's also instructor and busy with lessons(conning money, in my words). Been told by instructor my wife is not ready for test and she won't give her car for the test because instructor is fear she might bang it somewhere despite having dual control and examiner can stop the car if it's any danger , First I thought ok my wife is not ready for test but I've got to know from one of my friend his wife is taking lessons from 1 year yes you heard right from 1 year and everything she says to book test same reply comes from other instructor 'you are not ready and I won't give you my car' then I realise it's their way to con people just the right way under the nose

Worst worst derive ever! Took so many hours of lessons and was doing privately. Worst instructor ever lorna Philips just after money. Doesn't have experience her self. complained to the owner but the owner himself is unresponsive after calling several time over 3 days. When called wasn't even ready to accept anything. One of my friend is having lessons from Sara for almost a year still she says her that she isn't ready for the test this makes look that they are just after money The 2.5 rating makes sense on there website. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY WITH THIS COMPANY

Since the company has labeled this review as "fake" I will expand a little on this review. I started learning practical driving with Ryan Kehoe. Initially he seemed nice and lessons were okay, but after about 8 lessons or so he started canceling or straight not coming to lessons, which resulted in me not progressing much in driving. Every time I would have to start over from scratch since I haven't driven for 2-3 weeks.
I waited for him outside for at least 1 hour 2 or 3 times just for him now to show up. Not to mention on how instead of taking some responsibility for canceling so much, he just kept blaming me for being bad at driving. Now this all has been going on for about a year and I had to cancel my driving practical lesson 2 times (I have passed my theory from 1st time).
After the last time he canceled on me without saying anything ( I've waited for an hour), I requested a refund for lessons that I have taken with Ryan (about 13-14 if I remember correct) from A2Z, just to receive email blaming me for going home for summer (and therefore not practicing with them during that time). This was from early May 2019 till Mid January 2020.
In January 2020 I have gone to study with Ben (unfortunatly don't remember his surname) from Autolearners. I have practiced with him for 1.5 months and happily passed my test thereafter (with only 10 lessons from him). So yeah folks, don't waste your time here, A2Z only wants your money and that is it.

The driving instructors are ok, the school is really bad. They wouldnt tell me my instructor was changing to automatic the week before my test, making me spend a few hundred more pounds getting used to another car to take my test months later. I would actively avoid it and discourage people from using them because they are rude, disorganised and greedy. As i say though, this is not the fault of the instructor.

Learning to drive with A2Z of Motoring was a great experience, I was quite nervous before starting but my instructor put me at ease and helped me pass my practical driving test. The central office also provided excellent customer service whenever I needed to get in contact with them. Overall a great driving school, I would recommend them to anyone.
