I am truly grateful for finding Good Friends Driving Institute! The level of practical knowledge and guidance received from every lesson with Mr. Aftab is absolutely unmatched as it comes in handy every day behind the wheel! This institution goes above and beyond to identify any weak points that may be holding you back from passing your road tests. I highly recommend this institution for all ages if you want to pass on your very first attempt!

I have had many years of driving experience driving in Left Hand Traffic countries, Aftab was very understanding of this and tailored his approach to make me comfortable and confident in driving here in Ontario. Reprogramming my brain to adapt to this new environment took some patience on both our parts but I am happy to say, with his guidance, I passed the G test without any issues!

Aftab is an awesome person who wants to see you succeed no matter what. He is a very honest and outgoing person. He taught me for less than 3 weeks and I passed the driving test. If you want a driving instructor who can make your driving go from a 5-6 to a 9 or 9.5. You have to choose him!
