Ms Sarah Jane MacDonald of Girvan, South Ayrshire
The best driving instructor there is!!! After putting off learning to drive for many years and struggling to learn with other instructors with little to no progress, to then switching to Chris I could not believe the difference. On my first lesson he had me successfully bay parking and parallel parking versus previously learning no manoeuvres in months with different instructors. I am quite a nervous driver and Chris is so patient, kind and overall friendly putting me at ease right away. Within a few months Chris had me test ready and I passed first time could not believe the difference. There really is no better service and instructor than Chris and his team. Trisha in the office is also amazing putting up with my constant schedule changes due to work commitments and always managing to fit me in a total star. Highly recommend Chris to everyone. Thanks again for all your help in securing my pass.

Thank you again!!

Ms Zoe Milne of Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire
Amazing! I passed with Chris today and I am over the moon. I have started and stopped driving on and off for years and didn’t think it was ever possible for me to pass due to my horrendous driving anxiety and very nearly considered never going back until I contacted Chris at the start of the year and did a 10 hour block to refresh my memory and he was just fantastic, made the whole experience so easy going and even fun, thank you so much to Chris and also Trisha for all their help and encouragement, absolutely recommend to anyone especially those who are nervous drivers!

OUTSTANDING INSTRUCTOR Well what can I say apart from what an amazing instructor! From the first time stepping into the drivers seat Chris made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Super friendly guy, very patient andprofessional. His teaching methods were very helpful and boosted my confidence greatly.

Mr Keiran McClung of Troon, Ayrshire
BEST IN SCOTLAND In my opinion the best driving instructor in Scotland.. Chris makes you feel very confident in yourself and he believes in you! We had such a great time on lessons and he tried his hardest to fit me in around his schedule and my work shifts etc… I would most definitely recommend Greers Gears to anyone learning to drive! And to have Chris teach my such an essential skill for life was a real privilege!

Mrs Lorraine Scott
On behalf of my daughter: AN EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. Chris is a genuine down to earth guy who taught my daughter how to drive. Chris made her comfortable in car and it didn’t take her long. With some encouragement and praise her confidence boosted and has just passed her driving test. She is absolutely delighted. I want to mention Trisha who was on the ball when it came to booking and rescheduling appointments. She is quick to get back with any questions regarding lesson bookings. You’ll not be disappointed with Greer Gears. Thank you Chris and Trisha
-
Mr Andrew Thomson of Stevenson, Ayrshire
100% RECOMMENDED Chris is truly a genuine hard working driving instructor who helped inspire and instill belief in myself to pass my driving test. As Chris's work colleagues were chosen by himself I can onlyimagine they are wonderful instructors too. I would 100% recommend Greer's Gears Driving School to everyone looking to pass.
-
Mr Matthew Rossi of Troon, Ayrshire.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND GREER'S GEARS. Chris is a genuine down to earth guy has been an excellent teacher. He was great at making me feel comfortable in car, and driving in general. I'm over the moon with my pass today and it wouldn't have been possible without the guidance and tuition I received from Chris. I want a special shout out to Trisha who several times had to find 20 hours of teaching blocks for me and assisted in test bookings & rebooking's! Always received a quick response or call to address any of my queries. You’ll not be disappointed with Greer Gears. Thank you Chris & Trisha for getting me on the road!

Mr David McTaggart of Ayr : B+E Trailer Towing
I booked in with Greer's Gears for a trailer licence. Straight from the off go there service was excellent, Trisha regular contacted me and went above and beyond to accommodate my lessons and test after having a nasty accident at work then being put into isolation which meant 2 weeks to do lessons and test. Daniel made sure I got my lessons even working to 10oclock on both days. His professional skills made me pass 1st time. He gave me all the information I needed to pass this test and even meeting me before hand to give me a refresher. I would recommend this company and my employees will be coming to do there trailer test when the times right. Well done guys

Miss Fiona Fowler of Prestwick, Ayrshire
I had been putting off learning to drive for a long time - felt very nervous before starting! I was looking for an instructor who would help with my nerves and lack of confidence and read the countless rave reviews of other students of Chris' who felt the exact same as me... so I decided to book a lesson with Greers Gears and haven't looked back - this morning I just passed my manual practical test in Ayr! Chris is very easy to get on with and made me feel at ease from the first lesson - I trusted him completely to keep me safe on the road! He has built up my confidence behind the wheel and supported me throughout. Would recommend Greers Gears to everyone, if anyone is like me and a big scared-y then you'll feel safe in no time!
-
Mrs Kelly Marie of Girvan
Chris is a brilliant instructor and a genuinely nice guy. Very patient and explains things in a way that's easy to remember. Easy to talk to and has always been accommodating resulting in a first time pass for me today. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone

Miss Lucy Dillon of Waterside, By Kilmarnock
Chris was a great instructor, very professional and helpful! Got a first time pass with only few lessons; would 100% recommend.
-
Mr David MacPherson of Ayr, Scotland.
Excellent instructor. Knowledgeable, concise and patient. Thoroughly recommended.
-
Ms C. Ashraf on behalf of Jordan Ashraf from Ayr, Scotland
I contacted Chris to enquire about purchasing a block booking for my son's birthday. I found him very easy to chat to and very helpful. My judgement was right to chose Chris over any other instructor out there. My son had only 4 two hour lessons with him and had his test booked, my son took his final lesson with Chris before his test and my son passed. I found Chris very professional and easy going. He made my son at ease on every lesson and was a down to earth guy who liked to have a good relationship with his learners. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks Chris for all your dedication and support to my son. He wouldn't have passed without you.
-
Mr Jack Dawson of Mossblown, Ayrshire.
"FANTASTIC" Chris Greer started out as a driving instructor but will go on as a personal friend to me, fantastic driving instructor very patient and understanding. Fitted in a 30 hour block of lessons round about my busy job and hectic family life! Great guy who will take Ayrshire by storm, cheers Chris.
-
Helen Martin of Ayr, Scotland.
At 52 years old finally sat and passed a driving test with Chris. Chris is a kind and compasionate driving instructor, which was exactly what I needed. From day one felt at ease and decided then to book a course. Just want to say a huge THANK YOU for all his patience and guidance to finally enable me to hit the roads. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to learn to drive.
-
Mrs Monika Jarkhar of Mossblown, Ayrshire.
I passed my driving test in first time. Chris is a very good teacher. He makes every thing easily understandable. Thank you very much Chris. Monika
-
Ms Lorna McWalter of Fairlie, near Largs.
I've been to a couple of instructors for lessons and would highly recommend Chris as he was the first one to take the time and have the patience to help build up my confidence in addition to giving me the skills to drive. Chris is an excellent instructor and I passed 1st time.
-
Mrs A. Pinkerton of Ayr, Scotland.
Chris is the best instructor as he's patient, kind and always there to make the process of learning to drive easier. I learned to drive at 40 after never once driving a car and Chris instantly made me feel at ease, helping me pass first time. I would not hesitate to recommend this man. Greer's Gears Driving School will take Ayrshire by storm.
-
Mr R. Walker on behalf of Greg Walker, Ayr, Scotland.
Very professional and great with my Son who was a little nervous. Really up to date with everything and on the ball. Would highly recommend him. Great guy!
-
Ms Julia Calder of Priestland, Darvel.
Chris has been a brilliant instructor in getting me back up to test standard and helping me pass 2nd time with only a few minors! From having taken lessons years ago with different instructors, I can say Chris’ instructing was next level. His calm and relaxed approach to driving made me (a nervous driver) feel at ease behind the wheel, and his all round positive and cheery attitude makes lessons very enjoyable. He covers technical skills and manoeuvres to perfection, and gave excellent pointers and tips which not only helped me pass the test but will help me in my years of driving to come. Thank you very much Chris, it has been a pleasure! Julia passed her driving test at Ayr DTC.
-
Miss Marisa Logan of Prestwick, Ayrshire.

-
Miss Autumn Holmes of Minishant, Ayr.
Chris is a great instructor and I would definitely recommend him. He has given me the confidence in driving that other driving instructors haven’t and has helped me pass my test quickly.
-
Mr Stuart Finch of Cumnock, Ayrshire.
Chris is a very good instructor. I was a nervous learner and he created a very calm environment. He never became irritable or frustrated and continually provided encouragement when I got fed up with it. The car was good to drive and was always in immaculate condition. Chris was always on time and was available for lessons at the weekend. I have no hesitation recommending Chris to other learners. Stuart passed the driving test at Cumnock Test Centre on 12th April 2018
-
Mr Chris Cambers of Ayr.
Chris was fantastic for me I've been with two other driver instructors and he was by far the best for me he got me over the finishing line today couldn't have a better instructor in my opinion
-
Mrs Nadia Nicholson of Girvan.
Chris has been a brilliant instructor in getting me back up to test standard and helping me pass 1st time with only a few minors! From having taken lessons 30 years on and off with different instructors, I can say Chris is a breath of fresh air, instructing you too another level. He made believe in myself as I was a nervous over cautious driver. His calm and relaxed approach to driving made me feel at ease behind the wheel, and his all round positive and cheery attitude makes lessons very enjoyable. He and gave excellent pointers and tips which not only helped me pass the test but will help me in my years of driving to come. Thank you very much Chris, it has been a great pleasure. Thank you once again.

-
Fr Gabriel of St. Margaret's Cathedral, Ayr.
Chris is patient in his teaching. He teaches the right method of driving and gently calls your attention when you go wrong and praise when you do well. His teaching is beyond passing examination. Thanks Chris I passed.
-
Mrs Gillian Kay of Monkton, Ayrshire.
Following a foot injury I have had to change from a manual car to an automatic. I was also quite nervous about driving again as I hadn't been able to do so for almost 18 months, so I had a few driving lessons with Chris. He is a lovely guy who was really calm and immediately put me at ease. He is very easy to talk to and explains things very well. I have never been confident reversing and will avoid it if possible. Chris had me reversing into a parking space (almost perfectly) on my first lesson. He really helped me to start to get my confidence back and I would recommend him to anyone looking for driving lessons.
-
Mrs Lani Miller of Troon, Ayrshire.
My daughter and I have very different learning requirements; she’s a 17yo novice eager to drive, while I’m a nervous one who’s used to driving on the left side of the car and on the other side of the road and needed a refresher course. Chris had this intuitive understanding of our individual learning needs/styles and adapted his teaching approach effectively. Not only is Chris an amazing driving instructor, he’s also a very friendly, positive and a genuinely lovely person who will guide, encourage and motivate you in every step, making the whole learning experience interesting and surprisingly a lot of fun. I don’t normally write reviews or make recommendations but Greer’s Gear is an exception; for anyone looking for an excellent driving instructor, I’d highly recommend Chris in a heartbeat. Chris, thanks again for the much needed confidence boost and helping me pass the test on the first try yesterday, couldn’t have done it without you. One pass, one more to go buddy!
-
Miss Holly Atterson of Fairlie, Largs.
After a bad experience with a different driving instructor 2 years ago, I was hesitant in starting my lessons with someone new. I felt instantly at ease once I'd met Chris and, as a result, spared no time in getting stuck into driving again. The 2 hour lessons were great for me as they gave me the loads of experience, and seemed to pass very quickly. Once it came to sitting my test, the 40 minute slot seemed very short after becoming accustomed to 2 hour driving sessions. I found Chris to be very accommodating and flexible when it came to booking lessons; a couple of times I had to make last minute changes and there was no problem with rearranging. Always enthusiastic, and has a very relaxed energy in the car. I'd definitely recommend Chris and I think he'd be the perfect fit for any nervous drivers out there; he will give you confidence in your driving. Thanks, Chris! - Holly
-
Mr John Graham of Kilwinning.
I would first like to take this opportunity to thank Chris for all his hard work and drive in getting me a hesitant 51 year old guy to my test in a very short time. I passed first time going into my test convinced I wasn’t ready but as my instructor Chris got me to a pass standard in a really short time. His commitment and passion for his job shone through from the first minute we spoke. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking to either refresh their driving knowledge or starting out for the first time. He’s deeply passionate about his job and always takes the time to explain every single aspect of driving. This isn’t just about him making you a driver; it’s way more than that. He has a desire, passion and attention to detail that goes way beyond the normal driving instructor. He’s very easy to get on with and has a down to earth approach. I was struggling with my previous teacher and my only regret was not going straight to Chris. He’s a top guy and I feel I’ve made a true friend.
-
Mr Brendan Forte of Girvan, Ayrshire.
Would definitely recommend Chris, I had taken lessons a few times before with other instructors but it never clicked into place until his lessons. He is a really nice guy too and doesn't make you feel bad for making mistakes or anything I only had a limited time to sit my test and Chris was great in booking all my lessons at a short notice and made sure I was ready to sit my test!
-
Mr David Davies of Darvel, Ayrshire.
I passed first time with no minors chris is an excellent instructor very patient and professional at his job makes driving easy if your a nervous person can thank him enough for helping me getting my pass so if your looking to book lessons you should give chris a try he'll have you driving on no time. David passed his driving test at Irvine Test Centre.
-
Ms Ruth Hollywood of Troon, Ayrshire.
I could not have asked for a better driving instructor! Chris was not only a brilliant instructor who was professional and patient but he is also very easy to get along with. He gave me lots of easy to remember tips that I'm sure I will continue to use every time I drive. I was a nervous driver and I'm not sure I could not have passed without his help. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn to drive. Thanks again Chris! Ruth passed her driving test at Ayr test centre.
-
Mr Martin Montee of Girvan, Ayrshire.
Chris is a highly competent and understanding instructor who put me at ease and did a great job of teaching me to drive. He was very flexible in getting me the hours of instruction that I needed to pass my practical test first time without any problems. I can certainly recommend Greer's Gears for anyone looking for an experienced instructor to get driving as soon as possible.
-
Mr Joe Roberts of Dalmellington, Ayrshire.
Chris is an amazing teacher. I have done 20 lessons with him, passed my test today and i have enjoyed every minute of it, and learnt so much from him. Cool and patient man. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get on the road and learn how do do it properly. I cant thank you enough. Thank you Chris.
-
Mr Kieran Smith of Coylton, Ayrshire.
Fantastic lessons, easy to follow and extremely easy to understand.
-
Mrs Kerri Smith of Coylton, Ayrshire.
Cannot thank Chris enough for getting my son [Kieran] through his driving test. The 2 hour lessons are definitely worth while and would highly recommend Greer’s Gears to anyone looking for an amazing driving instructor who is very thoughtful and makes the learner driver feel so relaxed. Thanks again Chris for everything and for putting up with the nervous mum.
-
Mrs Raji Karthikeyan of Ayr
Chris is a great instructor!! he constantly encourages you to go further than you think you can . I would highly recommend anyone to go with greer's gears driving school for driving lessons. #Thank you so much, Chris!!!
-
Mr Greg Patterson of Ardrossan, Ayrshire.
Just want to say what a pleasure it was to have Chris as my instructor, true gentleman, kind and very easy to get along with. booked a 30 hour intensive package and after 2 hours he was honest enough to say I didn’t need the full 30 and would refund the unused hours at the end. I feel if I went with a different instructor I wouldn’t have passed as well as I did as I only received 1 minor fault and it was all down to chris’s Hard work and dedication. I would 100% recommend him!! thanks again Chris, cheers
-
Mrs Toni Callaghan of Ayr
Passed my test today with only 1 minor! Chris is an amazing instructor and I very highly recommend him to anyone. Having had bad experiences with past instructors Chris made me feel totally relaxed, comfortable and reassured at all times. I went from having zero confidence to being able to confidently pass my test first time with Chris. Best in the bizz for sure!!
-
Mrs C. Houston of Ayr.
Absolute awesome driving instructor. The Best of The Very Best. Every single part of driving course from start to finish simplified for you making it so easy to understand. Nervous and first time driver excellent choice. Chris Greer not only teaches you to drive to very high standard, he makes you believe in you. Patient, kind , honest and reliable. He is very informative with information on theory to as much as communication in all aspects of events including date, time and reminder calendar. Perfect gentleman who has his own special techniques on teaching you reverse parking. Following instructions to letter gaurantees you nail it each time. He has an amazing personality . He never judges you, stays calm with clear communication under all circumstances. I would never have passed my test in a million years without him. Lessons a pleasure not a chore. Exceptionally professional definitely very highly recommended.
-
Mrs A. Simpson of Irvine, Ayrshire.
Firstly, I cannot thank Chris enough for everything. From the very first lesson, Chris was honest enough to tell me that he thought I wouldn’t need all my lessons and would I be refunded if we didn’t use all the slots we had previously booked. Not many instructors would do that!! An absolute gent of a driving instructor, hard working, fun, even fully made me believe in myself and taught me some gems that I will take with me for the rest of my driving days. Chris’s dedication and determination to help me succeed Led me to pass my first driving test today with zero faults. Some evenings we were driving at 10pm at night to fit in with my work schedule. Totally recommend Chris to everyone that is considering to drive. Friends for life and will miss Chris tons.
-
Mr P. McMahon of Kilmarnock, Ayrshire.
Just back from sitting my test and passed first time with flying colours thanks to Chris. I also only had to take six 2 hour lessons and was ready for my test, couldn’t have been happier. I would definitely recommend him, very professional big fella, but most importantly very sound and friendly made me feel comfortable from the offset, couldn’t have asked for a better teacher.
-
Mrs T of Ayr.
Chris is a brilliant driving instructor. Very polite and genuinely nice person. Patient and never gets angry, even with such hard case as me, 45 year old foreigner who had never touched a steering wheel before. Left side of the road was huge challenge to me too. There were moments when I wanted to give up on learning but Chris did not let me. He was very supportive, kept teaching me explaining every aspect of driving. He managed to built up my confidence! I can’t thank you enough for that Chris! Chris knows all driving routs and all peculiarities and tricky bits you might face during your driving test. I passed my test and felt that it was easy! I would highly recommend Chris to anyone who wants to become safe and confident driver on any type of road. In a few years when my children reach the age when they can learn to drive I will send them only to Chris I know they will be safe with him and become good drivers. Thank you again Chris.
-
Mrs Nicola Lang of Ayr
FIRST TIME PASS!!! Firstly. I would like to say a massive thank you to Chris for getting my twin daughters through their driving tests today. Both passed first time. Would never have achieved this result without Chris’s patience and constant encouragement. I would highly recommend Greer’s Gears Driving School. 💯
-
Mrs Keerthana P of Prestwick, Ayrshire.

-
Mrs Pravenna K. of Ayr
AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR Chris is an amazing driving instructor, very friendly and professional as well as extremely patient. Lessons are very thorough and he knows exactly how to help you improve, would 100% recommend. He is the bessssssssst.
-
Mrs Vicki Burns of Saltcoats, Ayrshire.
Passed my test today with Chris after only starting lessons a month ago. If you're looking for an instructor with the patience of a saint then see Chris! He knows your abilities better than you do and pushes you to your limits. Never loses his temper or makes you feel stupid, always listens to your thoughts and feelings on your own strengths and weaknesses and gives you the confidence that you may be lacking! Just wish I found him 13 years ago.
-
Mr Peter Boyd of Ayr.
GREAT INSTRUCTOR Had some bad experiences learning with another instructor and made the decision to change to Chris. Absolutely the best decision I could have made. Chris helped get my confidence back up, taught me some tips and tricks and really worked with me to get the pass. He has a great attitude for teaching, keeping you motivated and upbeat when things don't go well. Highly recommend Greer's Gears to anyone, but especially to those who think maybe they can't achieve a pass.
