Highly recommend.
Dont want to mention the name of that instructor but he is very unprofessional and poor in his skills
Special thanks to my instructors, Danyaa and Raja, for the best driving tips I’ve ever received. With their help and guidance, I gained the confidence needed to pass my driving test.
I highly recommend them to anyone reading this message. 10/10.
I appreciate how you’ve helped me build confidence behind the wheel. I really liked how you explained complex maneuvers step-by-step. Your calm approach made it easier for me to stay focused during lessons. You gave clear and constructive feedback, which helped me improve quickly. Overall, I’ve enjoyed learning with you and feel much more prepared for my driving test. Thank you again for your dedication and support!
Thank you Beenish 🙂

Asif was patient, knowledgeable, and made every lesson enjoyable. His clear instructions and supportive attitude helped me gain confidence and improve my driving skills. I highly recommended Asif to anyone looking to learn how to drive.😊
The number you posted 0300 2004 576 is invalid (BTW this was a typo on your end)
Last update :
My daughter tried to contact her instructor a couple of times and then the office, but the answering machine was on. Then I tried to contact you and I got through.
It's not true that the lessons are a couple of months ago either, her last lesson was in October and since then my daughter tried to contact the driving instructor and driving school.
You wanted to look into the issue why the instructor is not contacting my daughter anymore, and you wanted to call me back.
You didn't call back, instead you sent my daughter a text message, that the number is wrong and you couldn't find the name either and her mum should remove the review.
So I started to be very worried that here is a fraud happening and god knows who my daughter had driving lessons with, as you couldn't find the instructor.
After our phone call, by the way, the instructor removed her from WhatsApp and all conversation was gone!!
So even more worried.
But we have bank account details and so I tried to contact you again to find out what's happening. Now the answering machine also turned on when I tried to call!
My husband called you today and indeed the bank details are from your company and you also knew the instructor! And then phone call got disconnected.....
Luckily no fraud happening here as you know the instructor and we also know that we paid to your company.
However we still don't understand why the instructor didn't come back, and why you try to make it hard to get in touch with you, and why you have no answers.
Very mysterious.....
use him for my other 2 children when the time comes ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌟
I Passing Smiles Driving School made learning to drive a fantastic experience! My instructor was patient, knowledgeable, and gave clear, step-by-step guidance that boosted my confidence. The cars were well-maintained, and scheduling was super easy. Thanks to them, I passed my test on the first try. Highly recommend!
I passed my test and I couldn’t have done it without Sallah.
From the very first lesson he made me feel comfortable and Confident behind the wheel. He’s been very patient with me 😊
I 💯 recommend x
His thorough and stress-free lessons were exactly what I needed. He's laid-back but always on point with his teaching. Highly recommend him if you want to ace your test.

FAQ
Get Quick Answers to Your Concerns
How do I handle the Whirlies Roundabout during my East Kilbride driving test?
The Whirlies is one of the most searched features of the local routes. The key to success here is mastering spiral lanes. Our instructors focus heavily on reading the overhead lane signs early and maintaining correct positioning to ensure you don’t drift, which is a common reason for faults.
Where are the best quiet areas in East Kilbride to practice as a beginner?
Local learners often search for stress-free spots to start. Areas like College Milton and the Kelvin Industrial Estate are popular during evenings and weekends for practicing basic car control. However, for your actual lessons, we’ll guide you through these quiet zones before gradually moving you toward busier sections like the A726 Queensway.
What is the current pass rate for the East Kilbride Driving Test Centre?
Recent data shows the East Kilbride driving test centre pass rate sits around 51%, which is slightly higher than the national average. While statistics are helpful, our goal is to ensure you are part of the “pass” group by conducting mock tests that mirror the exact routes and “show me, tell me” questions used by local examiners.
How can I find a driving test cancellation in East Kilbride?
With high demand for tests at Bosfield Place, many students search for earlier dates. While we recommend booking your initial test as soon as you are ready, we also advise using cancellation apps or checking the DVSA site early in the morning. Our team can often adapt your lesson schedule at short notice if you manage to secure a “fast pass” cancellation slot.
