Grant, Westshore (Langford)

“Arthur,
Thank you for being such a great and patient driving instructor! I had a lot of fun during the ‘brush-up’ lessons (I think you did, too!) I have learned so much from you and you have given me the confidence I so desperately needed. Keep up the good work!”

Julia,

“Jim,
I thought I would drop a little note to pass along the good news – I passed my ‘N’ test on Tuesday!! It was such a relief and a large accomplishment. Thank you again for your help last week. It gave me more confidence on the road and the ‘nit picking’ was exactly what I needed to hear to get it right!”

Amy,
