Alan is the best driving instructor you will find in the City of Buffalo! His expertise, patience, compassion, and fun personality will have you feeling very confident and at ease as he teaches you. Before coming to Alan, I had no real driving experience outside of the parking lot, but he helped me build the confidence and the skills I needed to be a great driver just with 9 lessons. I passed my driving test because of all the helpful and practical tips he provided. He is truly the best and he creates such a calm environment to help ease your nerves. Driving is no easy feat, but with Alan it's a piece of cake as long as you listen to everything he says! I would highly recommend him to anyone! You will not regret it.

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Alan and being under his instruction and if I could give him more than five stars, I would. I am an extremely anxiety filled and socially awkward person. Alan made sure I was comfortable and had not one speck of anxiety for my test and I passed my first try. He tailors everyone’s experience to meet their needs and he’s just an amazing and kind person. I will be taking my child to him in the next couple of years when she is ready to drive. I genuinely cannot applaud and recommend him enough!

I had a great experience with Mr. Holmes Driving School. Mr. Holmes was patient, professional, and very encouraging, which made learning to drive much less stressful. Conversations with him were always enjoyable, and the joy of learning from him made every lesson worthwhile. The lessons were well structured, easy to understand, and tailored to my pace. I gained a lot of confidence behind the wheel and felt fully prepared for my driving test. Even though I get nervous, his constant motivation always helped me perform at my best. I highly recommend Holmes Driving School to anyone looking for quality instruction and excellent support.
