Frequently Asked Questions About Get Shifting

Does Get Shifting in Mona Vale teach manual or automatic transmission?

Get Shifting teaches manual transmission exclusively, instructor Adam specialises in stick-shift driving at a time when many Northern Beaches schools have dropped manual altogether. L-platers can learn manual from scratch, P-platers can switch from automatic for their test, and overseas licence holders can convert to Australian manual standards. Published lesson prices start from around $90, confirm current rates and block booking discounts when you ring.

Is Adam at Get Shifting patient with nervous teenage learners?

Absolutely. Parents across the Northern Beaches tell us Adam excels with anxious young drivers, his calm, encouraging approach builds genuine confidence in teenagers who arrive feeling uncertain. Families report their sons and daughters felt at ease from the first lesson, with Adam tailoring each session to focus on the skills each learner needs most. That patient style translates to results: learners here regularly pass their test first attempt.

Does Get Shifting offer test-day packages or overseas licence conversion?

Yes to both. Get Shifting provides a test-day package to support learners on their actual driving test, and overseas licence conversion lessons for adults switching to an Australian manual licence. Adam also offers refresher lessons for drivers returning to manual after years in an automatic, or anyone wanting to polish hill starts and clutch control before their P-plate test on the Northern Beaches.

Can Get Shifting help if my son or daughter has already tried the test in an automatic?

Definitely. Families here often book Adam after a learner has struggled in an automatic elsewhere, sometimes after multiple test attempts. In as few as two to three lessons, Adam brings teenagers up to manual test standard, and they pass first go. Parents describe how clearly he explains clutch work, hill starts and road positioning, turning previous test anxiety into genuine driving confidence.

Are there any discounts for booking multiple lessons with Get Shifting?

Yes, Get Shifting offers a 10 per cent discount when you book six hours or more upfront, which works well for learners needing a concentrated block of manual lessons before their test. E-gift cards are also available for any number of hours, handy if you're gifting lessons to a teenager or adult learner on the Northern Beaches. Payment by credit card is accepted.
