🚗 Driving Lessons We Offer

Automatic Driving Lessons Stratford

Want a simpler drive with no clutch or gears? Automatic lessons help you focus on the road and your surroundings.

Manual Driving Lessons Stratford

Learn full car control. We’ll teach smooth clutch control, gear changes, junctions, roundabouts, and hill starts with calm, clear guidance.

🤔 Manual or Automatic — Which Should I Choose?

• Automatic: Easier to learn, great for busy city traffic. Licence allows automatic cars only.
• Manual: More flexible licence (you can drive manual and automatic). Takes a bit longer to learn.

Not sure? Book a trial lesson and we’ll help you decide.
