About Turning Point Driving Lessons

Simon from Turning Point Driving Lessons has built a near-perfect reputation across Adelaide's eastern and western suburbs, earning consistent praise from learners and parents alike.

Reviews mention his honest approach to lesson planning, with costs landing exactly where expected and no surprise fees. He offers door-to-door pickup and a test-day package that includes a 90-minute warm-up lesson, car hire for the VORT, and all government fees sorted. With over 35 years of driving experience and national accreditation, Simon teaches in a Kia Stonic automatic across Adelaide's eastern and western suburbs. Lessons run seven days a week, with weekend availability until 9pm. His pricing is competitive, payments are straightforward (cash or EFT on the day), and there are no cancellation fees. For learners in Firle, Magill, and surrounding areas looking for a patient, reliable instructor who genuinely cares about getting you road-ready, Simon comes highly recommended.
