WHAT IS EXPECTED

Don’t worry, we don't ask you to sign your life away, this is just to let you know what we ask from you, and what you can expect from us.

Cancellations:

If you need to cancel a driving lesson, please call or text as soon as possible.

If you cancel more than 12 hours in advance, there is no problem at all, no fee will be charged.

If you cancel with less than 12 hours notice, we will expect you to pay £10.

If you cancel with less than 4 hours notice, we will expect you to pay for the full lesson.

This is because we could have fitted another client in that time slot, & therefore we lose money that we could have earned.

(think of it like this, if your employer said to you one morning, “I don’t need you this afternoon, so you can go home", you would expect him to pay you, so its just the same with us, if you cancel, we expect to be paid, or we lose our wages for that time)

We actually have one of the shortest cancellation periods in the business, so please respect it.

 

If you do not give us this warning of a cancellation, we will charge you for the lesson, & it must be paid before the next lesson starts. Remember: all it takes is a quick phone call or text!

 

On a more serious note, if you arrive for a driving lesson & your instructor thinks you have been drinking or taken drugs, you will not be allowed to drive the car, & you will have to pay for the lesson. Please remember, if you drink heavily in the evening, you may still be "under the influence" the next morning.

 

If we ever need to change or cancel your lessons

We will tell you as soon as possible.

We will only cancel in the case of genuine emergency or breakdown.

We will try to offer you a lesson as soon as possible to suit you.

 

If we are going to be more than 10 minutes late, we will text or call you so you know what is happening. Life doesn’t always run smoothly when driving in Birmingham , but we try our best to make it run as smoothly as possible.

What You Can Expect From Us.

All driving instructors must abide by the Driving Standards Agency's “Instructor's code of practice”.

Over and above this standard, we will

Provide a car that has never had anyone smoke in for your lessons

Never take phone calls during lessons

Never make phone calls during your lessons

Never make promises we cannot keep

Always keep you up to date on your progress

Always ensure we have a modern, roadworthy car for your lessons

Always attempt to contact you if we are running more than 10minutes late

Always answer your questions to the best of our ability

Always structure your learning around your needs

Remember, you are paying us - and for this you are getting the use of our car, and our expertise, never be afraid to make the full use of the service you are paying for. If there’s anything you want to know, ask ! !

 

We also have a "library" of books, CDROM's, & DVD's which we lend out to regular clients, to help you prepare for your driving theory test, Hazard Perception test, & practical driving test.

All we ask is that you dont make any marks in the books, & return them when you no longer need them so that others can use them.

 

 

If you ever need to contact us for any reason, feel free to get in touch. During the day, the easiest way to get a message to us is to phone or text 07973 185130, leave your name and we will get back to you as soon as possible. If you have a query or question, either phone or email colinsdrivingschool@yahoo.com, or you can use the form here

 

We hope you will not have any complaints about us, but any complaints with a driving instructor can be handled in the same way:

Inform your instructor first, this allows them the chance to address your concerns. If this doesn't work then.....

 

Inform the Driving Standards Agency, who are the government agency who regulate driving instructors and their business.  

We would hope never to let a complaint get to this stage. Please inform us early and it shouldn't need to.
