Head-Rite Driving School: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I have worked closely with Kylie and her team and am consistently impressed with the professionalism and kindness of all of the instructors. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: A great experience from start to finish. Kylie found an instructor on her team who was local to our area to help our son with his driving lessons. One, two, three and we were booking and completing his VORT test too! Seamless and easy with great communication. Highly recommend the team at Head-Rite Driving School.
Negative experience: Disgusting practices from Headrite driving school, myself and my partner went thru this place and they scammed both of us, my lady doing my vort was the msot rude disrespectful person I've ever met. Go to this place if you want to feel like you're in a hostile war enviroment 24/7 while doing your vort!
Fantastic experience: Would 100% recommend head-rite driving school! My daughter had Tracey as a driving instructor and she was incredible. These lessons helped to calm my daughters nerves and make her a confident driver- allowing her to achieve a first time pass at the VORT!
Fantastic experience: Kylie was fantastic setting everything up with instructors! I used Danny and Tracy and they were both fantastic. Thanks too Tracy who really helped me prepare and pass the test with bob in the one day intensive
Negative experience: Kylie is very rude and unprofessional. Also a scam with the prices.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Head-Rite Driving school. Communication with Kylie was a breeze. My daughter 's instructor was Mel who was truly amazing. My daughter has severe anxiety and connected with Mel straight away. After 7 lessons my daughter was confident enough to go for her P's and she passed her VORT test today first time. Cannot express my thanks enough to Mel and Kylie.
Fantastic experience: I will recommend anyone going for their p’s to go with headrite from now on. Yesterday I was able to pass my p’s and I don’t think this would have been possible with out the encouragement and extra practice headrite driving school gave me. I had the opportunity to work with Tracey, not only was she kind, patient and honest with me but she allowed me to go over things until I felt comfortable with how I went. She would often show me how to do manoeuvres if I wasn’t confident and gave me the confidence/ encouragement I needed. Thankyou Tracey and headrite!!
Fantastic experience: My son has an Intellectual & Learning Disabilities, we need him to get his P,s. He is a real nervous lad. Went for about 4-5lessons with Scott, & then sat for his VORT lesson. Passed 1st go. I would highly recommend this driving school to anyone who have special needs. Kylie the lady who I was talking with is absolutely brilliant, So if your son/daughter needs their license please go through this company.
Negative experience: Greedy
Fantastic experience: Couldn't recommend Head-Rite Driving School enough! We used them for our 3 children with great success. Kylie was very helpful, responsive and managed to work around our busy schedule. All 3 of our children loved Scott, he made them feel at ease straight away and gave them the confidence they needed to pass their test. Thanks again for everything.
Negative experience: Stay clear of Kylie rings me at 3pm says drop everything U have an hour to sort out the block from services sa I work til 5 so I lost my 290 vort deposit shameeeee on U Kylie
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Head-Rite driving school, Scott was amazing with my son Noah and helped him through his anxiety and made him feel at ease. He commented to me saying that if he didn't pass his test he would definitely do lessons with Scott again. After having bad experiences with other driving instructors, this company will be recommended to anyone asking me about driving lessons in the future....and Noah passed his test
Negative experience: DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. THEY'LL FAIL YOU TO MAKE YOU PAID MORE. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE LIKE I DID. AND PASSED. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Headrite. After a bad experience with another instructor, they provided excellent instruction and helped me become a more confident driver. Mel was amazing, very patient, gentle, and supportive. Thank you!
Fantastic experience: Thank you to the Head-Rite team for helping our son Aden to complete his Driving test last week. The staff and communications were excellent. Dean the driving instructor was clear and friendly and the examiner Paul was relaxed and helpful. Thanks again and we would be happy to recommend your company.
Fantastic experience: So happy we chose Head-Rite for my son's lessons. Very easy to deal with. My son had Mel and she was amazing for him. He grew in confidence and knowledge and passed first time. I highly recommend Head-Rite
Fantastic experience: We used Head-rite to prepare our son for the VORT test and Tracey did a great job. He scored 96/100 on the first attempt. Would recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: 100% recommend Head Rite, we used them 2 years ago when our son was learning to drive and came back when it was our daughter's turn. Kylie worked her magic to schedule lessons on days that worked for us and paired our daughter with Mel who was amazing! She taught her all the extra things we didn't and got her through the VORT passing first time!
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving test a little over a week ago and Alan made the whole experience a breeze. I will definitely miss him and our chats. Alan, I can never thank you enough for your kindness. Kylie, thank you so much for organising all of my lessons. Your hard work does not go unnoticed, keep it up.
Negative experience: AVOID…..DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE Kylie is very Rude And Unprofessional! She Will Act Nice And polite to get you in the door but turns vile after she has your money. Her Attitude rubs off on some of her instructors also. Not a place that should be teaching at all.
Negative experience: Do your self a favour and go elsewhere. Kylie was quite rude. They do not abide by their own terms and conditions. Felt very much like a scam.
Negative experience: I wish to rate them negative 10 stars. Kylie was really an extremely rude person when it come to claiming any refunds. Their driving examiners are also inefficient. They are driven by greed of earning which is the reason then do not conduct tests properly.
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks to Head-rite driving, Scott is an amazing instructor, really related to our son. We were able to get lessons organised easily and within 3 weeks had a P plater . Highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: Scott was amazing teaching my daughter. Being flexible enough to fit in with her busy schedule made things so much easier. Will definitely be using him again for the next 2 kids
Fantastic experience: Can’t thank Mel and Brant enough for for all their help. Mel helped talk me through everything and explained everything clearly with a mothers touch and Brant has the best/worst dad jokes to get me through my anxiety riddled final test. Was a long day but was over before I knew it. Thankyou again Mel and Brant. Would 100% recommend them to everyone
Fantastic experience: Head-rite was recommended to us by my daughter's friend and we are so glad we used them. Booking lessons was a breeze with Kylie fitting it into our busy schedule. We had the absolute pleasure of having Tracey as our instructor. Cannot recommend these guys enough. 5 stars
Fantastic experience: I took the one day intensive program and passed my VORT first go. I could not recommend Head-Rite more! Easy going and a great instructor Dean. The program really brought out my confidence on the road and eased my worries when taking my VORT. I will be recommending you guys to all of my friends and family. Once again, thank you so very much!
Fantastic experience: Choosing Head-Rite driving school was the best choice I ever made. Kylie is a really flexible and nice person. Scott was my instructor, and he was an amazing person. He boosted my confidence and completely removed my stress. 100% recommended for everyone. Thank you again..
Fantastic experience: I managed to convert my overseas license by doing the VORT test with Headrite Driving School and passed in the first go. Kylie was very organised and scheduled my lessons promptly which reduced my stress when it came to planning. My instructor Tracey did a fantastic job with preparing me for the final practical test. She made me comfortable with driving and gave me the confidence I needed. I highly recommend Headrite Driving School.
Fantastic experience: My son just passed his VORT under Head-RIte's intensive one day program. Kylie was super helpful, providing information other instructors had failed to do and making the booking process quick and easy. Dean his instructor was fantastic. The company is just branching out into the Adelaide Hills too. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Really great driving school, they work with you to help you build up the confidence and skills to be a good, safe driver. Tracey especially is a wonderful instructor, she really cares about helping you achieve your goal.
Fantastic experience: I took the one day intensive and my instructor for the day was Tracey. She is very knowledgeable and made me feel calm and confident the entire time!!! The entire process was so smooth and I highly recommend them.
Negative experience: Kylie is rude, aggressive and a hassle to deal with. Made a great experience at first into a horrible one and left with a sour taste. She needs to learn how to talk to people or should remove herself from communication with customers all together, very money hungry
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! I had scott as my driving instructor. Prior to head-right I used several other instructors but Scott was by far the best made me feel comfortable and confident on the road. And kylie always managed to squeeze me in and move things around to fit me into the busy schedule 10/10
Fantastic experience: Thoroughly recommend Head-Rite. Felix was an awesome instructor and helped my son feel at ease. We opted for the one day intensive course - our son learnt so many tips for safe driving and passed his test easily and without stress. Thank you!
Negative experience: Kylie seemed friendly at first, helpful and 'willing' to be able to support completion of a VORT at relatively short notice....until it came to upfront payment of a sizeable deposit, full payment 4 days out and also no guarantee of it being completed by the initially discussed and required date. All seems a little suss given a few reviews about $$ being taken and services not provided. I'll keep looking as the negative, aggressive attitude is a major red flag.
Fantastic experience: Had Alan(Instructor) and Danny (Examiner) for the One Day Intensive Program Background: did alot of lessons, didn't get anywhere to where I didn't drive for awhile. I was initially nervous sitting the Vort because it had been awhile since I did the manoeuvres. Alan is thoughrough with instructions and is a good driving companion to talk to while driving. I've no doubt that alot of people will get along with him, he answers questions simply and has a good sense of humour! I finished with the Vort Test with Danny and I just passed! Definitely give Headrite a go, they're friendly and don't yell at you. They train you to be prepared for most driving situations. I wouldn't give my money to anyone else for tests or lessons. Kylie was QUICK when setting up dates and is flexible with changes Overall, good company and good people xxx
Fantastic experience: The instructors at Head-Rite are so supportive and caring. The company offers very flexible support and encouragement. Both my children have worked with Head-Rite to achieve their drivers licence. Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: I 100% recommend head-rite driving school. I had Scott and he truly was the best, if it wasn’t for him I don’t think I would have passed my test. He made me comfortable and joked around which made it easier for me to relax, I will be recommending them to everyone for sure.
Fantastic experience: Kylie was amazing at planning and organizing everything for me! After having a previously bad experience with my first VORT, Kylie got me onto Andy for a lesson, before completing a 4-hour VORT package. With a total of 3 hours before the test, Andy was able to prepare me for the hardest parts, and managed to get me calm before the test. I was super nervous, and Andy reassured me of everything, making the VORT feel like a breeze. Not to mention, the examiner Brant was also comforting and brought positive energy into the test. These guys all helped me pass at 97%, and I couldn't thank them enough! P.s, the car was very clean and well taken care of, always a good sign. :)
Fantastic experience: Kylie was amazing for communication to book in my one day program. Having Scott as my instructor was a great experience and he helped me to achieve a first time pass. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: My son had a lesson, then got stuffed around with dates and times etc, took my deposit and run off with it, save ya money and goes else where. Just disappointed on how you treat the kids, and then get upset when they get confronted by a parent,
Positive experience: Wonderful driving school that worked hard with my anxious daughter to help her feel comfortable and confident. Great communication, I would recommend
Fantastic experience: Very patient and great help calming nature I would highly recommend to anyone and thanks again ☺
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend this school, if you are located in Murray Bridge they are in town on Mondays. Both Kylie and Mel are so supportive and patient. Honestly, I was full of anxiety and nerves before I began my adventure with Head Rite. But after 1 lesson with Mel (WHO IS AWESOME!) I felt more comfortable and confident. Truly such an amazing experience from start to finish. Thank you Head Rite Team!!
Fantastic experience: After being hung out to dry by my first instructor & badly failing the exam, losing all confidence & then having other instructors give me 1 lesson only to tell me they're not interested in teaching me (if they responded at all), Head-Rite took me on when nobody else would. Kylie gets things done come hell or high water & was always there to push things along. She listened to my story & paired me with Scott whose incredible communication & ability to make a joke out of almost anything, helped me finally get my head around things I've struggled with for years. Their readiness & eagerness to help made it feel almost more like a group of freinds who have your back, & their approach in my experience was more than just about teaching to drive, it was about empowering for life. Something my instructor Scott felt very strongly about. They take the time to get to know you & figure out what's going to work best, & I can't recommend them highly enough! You guys rock & I'm genuinely going to miss my lessons. :)
Fantastic experience: I had the best experience with Steve from headrite, I did a full day course and passed my test the same day. Steve is extremely nice and he made me feel very comfortable and treated me with the up most respect. I highly recommend headrite and Steve.
Fantastic experience: Kylie is extremely great at organizing and planning the lessons ahead with her amazing communication. My instructor, Scott, is a patient and kind instructor who instantly made me comfortable with my lessons with his jokes. He teaches well and gives great feedback. I also want to thank my examiner for making me feel calm throughout my vort. I went to service sa and successfully received my P1 license. I highly recommend Head-Rite Driving School!!
Fantastic experience: Kylie was super helpful in coordinating lessons and VORT - with multiple changes from us. Alan and Scott were very kind and clear in their instructions and Scott especially helped build my daughter's confidence to undertake VORT. Highly recommend using Head Rite Driving School
Fantastic experience: Great instructor, easily adaptable times if needed. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I had Alex as my instructor and thanks to him, I passed my VORT first time, which I didn't think I could do! Kylie is also very good and organising and booking lessons was a breeze thanks to her! Would recommend this driving school to anyone, whether they're just starting out, or going for their Ps.
Fantastic experience: After using different driving schools for my son. I saw a lot of great feed back on Head rite driving school. My son had a lovely man Alan who he got along with. Alan informed my son that he had been taught some wrong ways. But by the end of the day my son did all the right things and got his p's. Thank you and your team so much.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Head-Rite driving school. My instructor Scott was awesome, he was very patient and very helpful in so many ways.
Fantastic experience: Definitely recommend Head-Rite Driving School. We had a frustrating experience with another instructor. Head-Rite were so helpful. My son really enjoyed his lessons with Scott.
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best driving school i have tried in Adelaide, I think it is key that the instructors make you feel confident in your own skills, if youre too nervous you wont learn anything. so i think they did a great Job of making me feel comfortable for the final test, Alex is a fantastic instructor and Kylie is very kind!
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Head Rite Driving School enough, my son did the one day intensive program and despite terrible weather conditions ( the day we had that shocking hail storm) His instructor, Scott was brilliant and friendly so my son was able to feel comfortable and confident. The lady Kylie, who I organised it all through was wonderful to deal with and I will be using Head Rite Diving school again in a few years when my daughter is ready and old enough to drive.
Fantastic experience: We had been told by our daughter's previous instructor that she was a good driver, but she was very apprehensive about resitting the VORT. An alternative approach (change in mindset) was our best option; a one day intensive course followed by the VORT. Kylie was great facilitating the course with Alan and the VORT assessor. Both had great calming strategies that really helped our daughter achieve her goal - passing the VORT. Many thanks to Kylie and her team.
Positive experience: Kylie was very helpful in matching the most suitable instructor for our anxious daughter's needs. Mark was a thorough and patient instructor. There were several stressful situations but his calm response supported her to persist and she was very grateful when she obtained her licence.
Fantastic experience: My son did the one day intensive training with Scott and was very happy with how he was taught. My son said Scott taught him important driving skills that I’ve never taught him before! I feel comfortable now when son is on the road knowing he’s learned from the best.
Fantastic experience: I went into the one day intensive program super scared I would fail my test but after a few hours with Scott I became more confident and passed with all 5 of my manoeuvres. My test was organised as soon as I contacted through the Facebook page and was quick and simple. Overall, the experience was great and I would highly recommend the company.
Fantastic experience: Learning at an older age (mid 30s) after some casual instruction from family on my Ls I decided to bite the bullet and go for regular lessons to obtain my Ps. My original preference was CBT&A but due to Covid many instructors were booked up across Adelaide and I decided to try the VORT method with HeadRite Driving School. Felix was my instructor and was very friendly, patient, down to earth and a pleasure to drive with. Despite a shaky first lesson (on my end) he had my confidence up in no time at all, and my partner was always impressed how fast my driving was improving. Despite years of not either needing my license from living in big cities, to being nervous to start, I passed my VORT test first try within 4 months of lessons and driving practice! I can't recommend them highly enough and Kylie (the owner) was a pleasure to deal with. Thank you Felix and Kylie!
Fantastic experience: I got Alan as my instructor and couldn't have asked for someone as professional as him. He understood my level of driving from being taught by my parents and helped me learn on those skills. He was patient and helped me understand how the VORT was going to take place. Would definitely recommend for someone who wants to do the VORT but is nervous on completing it.
Negative experience: Steve the instructor was great, however the rest of our experience i believe is a scam. My daughter is not a perfect driver but how can she be expected to perform let alone pass when 2 different instructors teach different methods that contradict one another and then deny it. Very quick to ask for payment all upfront then dodge responsibility for the lack of guidance provided.
Fantastic experience: I had Steve as an instructor and he was absolutely fantastic! The 8-hour Intensive Program was great value and is definitely a great asset in achieving my P1 license. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Highly Recommend HRDS, communication is fabulous through Kylie, very professional teachers. All super friendly and make your young driver confident in the road. As a parent driver you do your best to teach them but we do become complacent and there are certain aspects only the professionals can teach! Thank you HRDS
Fantastic experience: Headrite is a great driving school for new and anxious drivers everywhere. The instructor David was patient and provided clear instructions and Kylie provided great information and has many different options available to suit the needs of all new learners
Fantastic experience: I was on my Ls for nearly 4 years as i was just so nervous but i knew i had to bet the nerves and just do it and thats when i saw the Head-Rite Driving School page and saw their One Day Intensive program. I did my day with David, he was so good with helping me understand each task. I was so happy with the whole experience and great communication through the whole process. After the one day intensive program and one more lesson with David I passed my VORT Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Used HeadRite to convert my international driving license . Kylie is absolutely great teacher and instructor . Will do her best to explain and teach you all the skill and knowledge you need to have to pass the VORT test. After a few weeks of lessons I passed from the first time . Highly recommend . Thanks Kylie ! Olena .
Fantastic experience: Came in the morning with very little knowledge about correct/ safe manoeuvres. At the end of the day, I was able to pass my VORT and bring home an in-depth understanding of driving on the road. As an additional comment, the instructor was very helpful, providing feedback and potential ways to improve.
Fantastic experience: My son the 1 Day coarse And came home with the biggest smile on his face as even though he was nervous he passed first up. Thanks Head-Rite driving school but now he is never home.
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend going through Headrite Driving School, Kylie was very helpful with setting me up to do the one day intensive program & my instructor on the day Steve was great! Helped me stay calm & helped me fine tune my driving skills so that i ended the day with a pass on my vort! I had a wonderful experience.
Fantastic experience: I did the one day course and found it very helpful to go over everything. I went away with my p's at the end of the day. I would highly recommend them!!!
Fantastic experience: Our son did the one day course and found it very helpful to go over a few things he was having difficulty with. He worked on those few things in the lessons and came away with his p's at the end of the day. I would highly recommend them
Fantastic experience: Absolutely Wonderful, My Daughter Shauna had done driving lessons and a couple of tests and failed with another company, Which made her lost all confidence. Seen Head-Rite Driving School ad on Facebook and Gave Kylie a call and she was fantastic, very helpful and explained the one day Intensive Program, So that is want Shauna went for, Shauna had never driven in Adelaide before, But Allan (the Instructor) Keep her Clam and gave her confidence explained everything to her and She Passed with 94%. it was the best decision and I highly recommend them. Thank You all Again
Fantastic experience: Alan is a fabulous instructor, I highly recommend booking the one day intensive program with him he is incredibly patient and easy to understand.
