5 * tutor...

We got Neil to help our Daughter to learn to drive. She felt automatic was the way to go. She was extremely anxious before she got started but Neil was amazing. He got to know her and she felt so at ease. He was brilliant. We took her out between her lessons but Neil would update us on what to work on and 10 lessons later we now have a new driver in the family. Thanks Neil. 5 * tutor Sophie   |   4th May  |   Harrogate


Calming and reassuring ...

Neil has a very calming and reassuring manner with his instruction and instantly put me at ease. He explains things very well and I feel the time I spend with him was invaluable. I would not hesitate to recommend Neil as a driving instructor. Carol   |   27th April 2023  |   Harrogate


Encouraging, thorough and kind...

Neil is a great driving instructor. Due to his calm and patient demeanor learning to drive seemed to become a very natural process. Neil would always answer all my questions thoroughly and make time to practice things I felt less confident in. He is encouraging, thorough and kind and I would recommend him to anyone.

My excellent driving instructor ...

I would like to give a 5 star review to Mr Neil Rabson (my driving instructor) Neil is very friendly, calm and most comfortable to chat with when it come to learn about driving. He taught me of well structured since lesson one. I started very nervously and anxious but Neil is very polite and told me to be calm and relaxed and taught me the best techniques of driving. He changed me into positive outcomes and because of Neil I passed my test first time. I am over the moon. I can highly recommend Mr Neil as an instructor. Mylene   |   7th April 2023  |   Harrogate

Neil is an excellent instructor he is patient, reliable and very thorough. He taught my Daughter and she thoroughly enjoyed her lessons and passed first time. Highly recommended. Rebecca   |   6th January 2023  |   Harrogate


Made me motivated and confident ...

I cannot thank enough Neil for all the support and help he taught from the start of my lesson until my driving test. I am highly recommending Neil as a driving instructor. He was also recommended to me and I did not regret having him as my instructor. I learned a lot from him especially that I am a first time driver and doesn’t know anything about cars / driving. He’s so calm, kind, accommodating, very patient and praised and encouraged me after every lesson. That made me motivated and be confident to do my best to pass my driving test and I did. Thank you very much Neil. Mae   |   8th December 2022  |   Harrogate


He’s brilliant ...

I couldn’t have asked for a better instructor. Neil was lovely and very helpful. He taught me everything I needed to know and after just 20 lessons with him I was able to pass my driving test which to me is proof of how good a driving instructor he is. His calm demeanor made driving fun and comfortable. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting to learn how to drive. He’s brilliant. Jessica   |   14th November 2022  |   Harrogate


He’s a very good and experienced instructor ...

It has been an absolute pleasure learning driving with Neil. His calm and patient demeanor made me feel at ease and made me enjoy my Lessons right from the first hour until I passed on my first attempt! He is a very good and experienced instructor which made the driving not difficult to learn as he explained everything very well and knows where you need to improve. Probably the most important thing i learned from Neil is that he will ensure that you are driving safely at all times. Thank you so much Neil. Really cannot recommend him enough. Erica   |   7th November 2022  |   Harrogate


Wholeheartedly recommend Neil...

I wholeheartedly recommend Neil to anyone learning to drive. He is very experienced and patient, he made a structured lesson plan to help me improve my skills shortly after my first assessment lesson. I was able to pass my test in one go following his instructions and he also showed me tips about safe driving that are very valuable when learning to drive. Daniel   |   13 October 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil made me feel at ease...

Neil made me feel at ease immediately and gave me the confidence in my driving which I needed to pass my test. I did not feel any pressure to do any more lessons than I needed to and he guided me to making the right decision to pass the test in my own car. William   |   8th October 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil was a great instructor ...

Neil was a great instructor. Despite having a bad experience with a previous instructor Neil was able to progress my learning quickly. He was patient and flexible with times, allowing me to be well prepared on the day of the test. I would no doubt recommend him to anyone starting new. Christina   |   6th October 2022  |   Harrogate


Perfect in every way...

I was apprehensive choosing a driving instructor as many of my friends had chosen to do manual tests and i didn’t have any recommendations. However, when I contacted Neil at GoAuto and subsequently had my first lesson my fears were immediately alayed. Neil’s mild manner and diligent approach to improving and focusing on areas of need really shined through during our lessons. He quickly imparted the confidence I needed to take my test much sooner than I expected and I passed first time too. I couldn’t recommend Neil and GoAuto highly enough, perfect in every way. Joanna   |   26th September 2022  |   Harrogate


Extremely professional and helpful ...

I just want to say a big thank you to Neil for helping me pass my driving test first time. He was extremely professional and helpful with everything. I’d highly recommend him to anyone. George   |   23 August 2022  |   Harrogate


Highly recommend using his professional and person centered approach ...

I had severe anxiety over driving, after a history of seizures and not so pleasant experience with driving lessons in the past, I really struggled to convince myself to reach out to another instructor. After seeing Neil recommended on a Facebook group I decided to message. I explained I had awful driving anxiety and he assured me this is something he could happily work with. After only one lesson I felt at ease, in control, and calm behind the wheel. Neil was patient with me every step of the way, let me decide what I was and wasn’t ready to do and was always softly spoken and calm when instructing me. Neil would always explain in detail why certain movements in the care were necessary or easier and if I ever had any concerns he would ensure to work on them with me until I was confident. After 16 hours with Neil I passed my test first time. He was with me from 8am reminding me I can pass the test, giving me advice, keeping me calm and telling me he believed in me I am extremely grateful to Neil and do no believe I would have come so far without him, I highly recommend using his professional and person centered approach.

Do yourself a favour get your lessons booked...

In learning to drive, I could have asked for no greater instructor than Neil Rabson. Calm, patient and informative, Neil was the perfect teacher in taking to the roads and with the keen efficiency and insight of all his lessons, I became a license wielded driver in no time at all. Do yourself a favour and get your lessons booked. Joseph   |   6th May 2022  |   Harrogate


Would definitely recommend him a as a driving instructor ...

Neil is a very patient instructor. Great at explaining how to do things like manoeuvres and how to achieve things better and easier. Really calm and build up my confidence from the start of my lessons. Would definitely recommend him as a driving instructor without a doubt Lucy   |   4th May 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil has succeeded where many had failed ...

I cannot thank Neil enough for his excellent teaching, patience, support and understanding. All made the lessons a highly enjoyable and relaxed experience. In fact, Neil has succeeded where may previous driving instructors have failed (to make me a more confident and happier driver) for which I will be forever grateful. Émilie   |   29th April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil was great from start to finish...

Neil was great from start to finish! So much patience and always calm, unlike a lot of previous instructors I had been with. Always did a number of different road types and routes preparing me for everything. Was always flexible with days to work around my busy life. In general a nice easy going person always making you feel at ease. Got my test booked in as soon as we could with the long waiting list of test centres. With Neil I passed my theory and practical first time. I would definitely recommend to everyone. Jess   |   28th April 2022  |   Harrogate


He will put 110% effort into getting you through your test...

I would recommend Neil to anyone who is wanting to learn to drive, he has the patience of a saint and is so calm and reassuring. He will put 110% effort into getting you through your test as long as you do the same. Kiara   |   25th April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil is an amazing driving instructor ...

Neil in an amazing driving instructor! He was always very supportive and organised, the quality of teaching and the structure of the driving lessons was outstanding, he always kept a record of the manoeuvres I had to improve so we knew where to put more focus on the next lessons. I had three months driving lessons and passed my driving test the first attempt. I highly recommend him. Laura   |   25th April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil was very patient and supportive from start to finish ...

Passed my driving test in less than a month! Neil was very patient and supportive from start to finish, which really boosted my confidence and helped me pass on my first attempt. He was also very accommodating and happily worked around my schedule to ensure I had as much practice as possible before my exam. He was very knowledgeable about all the Knaresborough test routes and provided me with so many useful tips to ace the test. It was such a stress free experience learning to drive with Neil and I couldn’t recommend his driving school highly enough. Kali   |   23rd April 2022  |   Harrogate


Very professional ...

I’m so happy to meet Neil as my driving instructor. My good friend recommends him because she passed her driving test first time too. He’s very professional and friendly. He will teach you everything to make sure you are ready to pass your driving test. I was so scared to learn how to drive when I did manual lessons before but I didn’t pursue it after my previous instructor shouted at me. But when I met Neil he makes you feel comfortable by encouraging “you will pass your driving test, your doing fine” and when you make mistakes he will explain to you nicely and you will remember not to do that. It’s always been a pleasure to be his student and I will recommend him to all my friends and family. Michelle   |   22nd April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil is well organised and professional ...

Neil is well organised, professional and attends on time, always calm which helps the learner to be more focused and relaxed. Performs mock exam prior to the real test, with marking sheet, I have done the mock 2 days before the test and it showed my weaknesses so I worked on it and had the exam two days later and I passed from the first attempt, I would strongly recommend him. Amar   |   21st April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil made the whole process easy and painless ...

I was quite apprehensive about learning to drive but Neil made the whole process as easy and painless as possible. He was very patient and calm, explaining things clearly and logically and putting me at ease. Each week I could see the progress and looked forward to the next lesson. I was so pleased how smoothly it went and that I actually passed first time. Sarah   |   21st April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil was patient encouraging and knowledgeable ...

Neil is a fantastic instructor, after using a couple of different driving schools myself and not having much luck with instructors, Neil was a breath of fresh air. Neil was patient and encouraging as well as knowledgeable and I felt at ease learning under his supervision I would highly recommend Neil for anyone learning in the Harrogate area. Luca   |   21 April 2022  |   Harrogate


Neil was the best driving instructor ...

Neil was the best driving instructor through my learning journey. He was patient and clear during his teaching. A very polite positive and reliable instructor which has helped me to pass my driving test. Pamella   |   20th April 2022  |   Harrogate


Calm patient and understanding ...

Calm patient and understanding from day one. Neil made me feel at ease and have faith in my own driving ability which had been my biggest pitfall previously. Not only constantly teaching in a constructive and amenable manner, I found the lessons so easy to learn in and progress every time. The perfect environment especially as a slightly nervous and unconfident student. The lessons just clicked and I passed, something I was unsure I would ever do. Can not thank you enough. Laura   |   8th July 2021  |   Harrogate


Absolutely outstanding ...

My driving instructor Neil was absolutely outstanding I was very nervous on my first lesson but Neil totally put me at ease. He has been kind caring and super patient with me and has reasoned above and beyond to ensure that I have become a great driver. I would 100% recommend Neil to friends and family, it has changed my life. Tanya   |   19th August 2021  |   Harrogate


Neil is an excellent instructor ...

Neil is an excellent driving instructor, he is extremely calm, patient and helpful which puts your mind at ease and reassures you of your own driving ability. He is a great teacher and with his encouragement and support I passed first time. Jemima   |   5th February 2023  |   Harrogate


You can’t go wrong with learning to drive with GoAuto...

Where to start? I was nervous, scared, terrified to drive at first even though excited to learn. Neil helped me feel confident to drive and was so patient and calm and understands how you may feel when you first learn to drive. He takes you through every step when you are ready and you build all the skills you need for how to be safe on the road. I came away from each lesson feeling more accomplished to the point where when I had my exam day I knew I felt ready to pass. Neil caters his lessons to you. You can’t go wrong with learning to drive with GoAuto. Georgina   |   31st August 2023  |   Harrogate


Great teacher and very easy to understand ...

I was learn how to driving and want to get an automatic driving license because I found it easier than the manual one. While going to the supermarket with my Husband and seeing the GoAuto sign on top of the car with the phone number so I go home and call this number and meet Neil. From the beginning until the end of the passed test Neil was very helpfull, he show me, teaching me everything’s that I should know to make sure that I pass the test. Through all he was very calm and special and make it so easy for me as English is my second language. Tien   |   22 September 2022  |   Harrogate


Would highly recommend ...

Having previously failed a test in Leeds, I moved to Harrogate so I had to take a new test in Knaresborough. Neil was adept at minimising the anxiety I felt driving on new roads and I passed after 4 lessons within which Neil taught me essentially from scratch having not driven in the best part of a year. Would highly recommend if you want to pass your test quickly and stress free. Jake   |   27th May 2022  |   Harrogate
