 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I took my driving lessons in a manual car with Mr Sarfraz and I can only speak positively about him. I started my first ever driving lesson with Sarfraz and did around 30 lessons with him, during these lessons Sarfraz was very calm, patient and positive towards me and had full belief in me that I would pass my driving test. Sarfraz was a very good teacher and explained everything to detail until I fully understood what I had to do! Sarfraz is a very kind person and a Top instructor and I would recommend him to any new learner driver who is looking to take lessons. 

Thanks to Sarfraz and Shah Driving School. 👍🏼😀
