Sharon Riggs2025-07-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best driving school around and the best instructor. I was taught by Scott who is genuinely a nice guy. He always made me feel relaxed and comfortable whilst driving and explained everything in an easy way and was happy to explain things again and again if needed. He soon became more of a friend and a really good listener rather than a driving instructor. If you are looking to take automatic lessons then look no further. I started lessons in November and I passed first time 8 months later. Carly Webb-Coates2025-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Passed today with only 1 minor after taking lessons with Scott for a year. Very happy, highly recommend to everyone!

From the very first lesson, he made me feel at ease behind the wheel. He is very patient, knowledgeable, and takes the time to explain things clearly. I was a bit nervous at first, but Scott’s calm and encouraging approach helped me build confidence quickly. The lessons were always focused and productive, but we also had a laugh along the way, which made the whole experience more enjoyable. The best driving instructor by far! Thanks again Scott! ☺️ J C2025-02-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had an amazing experience at Scottie's Driving School!

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most frequently asked questions about our automatic driving lessons in Brentwood.
Do you provide driving lessons in other areas besides Brentwood?
Absolutely, we serve multiple locations including Driving Lessons in Basildon and Driving Lessons in Chelmsford, as well as Suffolk locations like Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth. This extensive coverage ensures you can continue lessons if you relocate within our service areas.
Can I learn in an automatic car only?
Absolutely. We have a range of automatic vehicles, including the Toyota Yaris and Ford Fiesta, so you can focus entirely on automatic driving if that suits you.
Do you offer motorway and Pass Plus lessons in Brentwood?
Yes, we provide both motorway training and full Pass Plus courses to help newly qualified drivers build experience and confidence.
How long are the driving lessons?
Driving lessons can be booked for 1 Hour, 1 ½ Hours or 2 hours with 2 hour lessons being the norm (and most productive) lesson duration (Can be booked either one two hour lesson or two one hour lessons). Two hour driving lessons allow the pupil adequate practice time around the test areas and boost the learning process.
How many lessons will I need?
This really depends on several factors. The official DVSA answer is 40 to 60 hours this can be a bit misleading. Few people pass in less than 40 hours unless they have their own car and practise with family or friends. It also depends on your ability to retain the information being taught. Age and circumstances also play a great role in the ability to learn. The most important factor though is your willingness to learn to become a safe driver.
