Tashman Driving School

Fantastic experience: Great lesson, enjoyed it very much, recommend to everyone. Thank you very much!

Fantastic experience: Very good help and patience in lessons. Helped me pass my test!

Fantastic experience: It’s my first time driving, Anthony really helped me to learn how to drive. It was a great experience. I recommend him.

Positive experience: I took a one-hour lesson to familiarize myself with the Chatswood area. I clearly informed Anthony in my message that I wanted to learn the driving test routes in Chatswood. However, only after we started the lesson and I gave him the money, he told me that there are many routes that Chatswood service generates randomly for each customer. Before we started driving, while I was sitting behind the wheel, he pushed me to book more lessons, arguing that there might not be any slots available if I refused to book now. I had to tell him more than twice that I needed time to think. Lastly, I felt uncomfortable and unsafe as he started discussing political topics and sharing his political opinions. I am leaving a four-star review only for the good, clean, and new car. I enjoyed driving it.

Negative experience: I do not recommend this school. The reason is that the old guy working with them of 65 years age scammed me of 100 dollars. So the details are these, I booked for 2 hours for 200 dollars. 1 hour lesson and other 1 hour as agreed that he will show them that he is my instructor and take the responsibility as well as in case I fail the test he will take my car back( I live around 1km away from the test center). So he asked for 250 dollars which was not reasonable so we agreed on 200 dollars. I paid the money in advance. We started the lesson at 1. 15 we were in the test center. While going to the test center the instructor told me that he will not take my car back and if you fail the test you just say nothing to the examiner and walk away quickly as he cannot lie that he will take the car. I said nothing because after a few moments I was going to have a test and I don’t wanna argue at that moment because of the nervousness. Then he quickly said he was going to use the bathroom and never came back. I started my test at 2.40 and he wasn’t any where neither he told the NSW that he is my instructor. I want to clarify that I used my own car as well. So when I finished the test and entering the test center he wave his hand and drove away. So I asked him to return the money 100 dollar because he didn’t do what he said and also refused to take my car. So he charged me 100 dollar for nothing. I will complain about him to fair trading. He was also not very interested while doing the test and talking irrelevant things as well as using his phone. Overall very bad experience won’t recommend this company. He is a conman, he is admitting that I ask him to stay in case I fail the test. Stay for what? To say good bye to me? Or to stay to drive my car back home? Why do you assume that either o failed or passed my test ? You were not there? Didn’t you that you will fill my form as an instructor? We’re you with me from 2:15 to 3:15? What did you do between 2:15 to 3:15 to charge the money for? I am attaching your picture so people can spot a conman and not waste money by booking a lesson with you? I don’t do that. After 2:15 you left the department so you don’t have to represent me not come back until I came back from the test and just said goodbye from the car and left. You didn’t have courtesy to ask whether I have passed or failed the test because you knew you have scammed me.

Negative experience: Do not recommend this driving school

Fantastic experience: Very thorough and clear information
