I am pleased to announce that we have another new instructor having had problems fitting in new customers due to our increasing success. George Stallard returned to us and will initially fulfill recent requests for intensive courses which we were finding it hard to cover and in the more long term will cover his local area in Airdrie and surrounding areas. This allows us to cover more of North Lanarkshire than we could previously.

21/6/2009 Google search engine now live
There is now a Google search bar and search engine on the home page of this website. I have done this to provide you, our customers, more services when visiting the site. I am always looking for new ideas to keep people visiting so if you have any why not get in touch. Hopefully coming soon are live news and sport feeds. This will add to the other services we provide here such as car insurance searches, google search and car-related info and products. Why not make us your homepage if you like what we do??

17/05/2009 Stephannie is back!
We are pleased to announce that from 4th June 2009 we will once again be able to provide the option of a female instructor. After her maternity leave I am pleased to welcome Stephannie back. She will at first be only available Thursday and Friday due to childcare commitments. If you are not available those days though, then I'm sure her husband Peter or one of our other instructors can accommodate you.

06/07/2007 - Simon reaches a 1/2 century of passes

01/07/2007 - Lesson price increase from 1st August 2007
Today, 1st July 2007, I have announced that my lesson prices will be increasing as follows from 1st August 2007. Single lessons and all block booking options will increase by the equivilent of £1 per lesson. A single lesson will cost £21, blocks of five will increase by £5, blocks of ten will increase by £10. In line with my advertised price guarantee current pupils and pupils enrolling before 31st July will not be affected by this price change. The price change is necessary due to increases in my business expenses, the cost of living and local market forces. This is the first time I have increased my prices fin two years of being an instructor and remains very competitive in comparison to other local driving schools and national schools.
