I don't usually post reviews, but Carlos is an amazing instructor! He explained the mechanics of what is going on underneath and was very clear and calm in his instruction. I never drove manual before, but I had some theory in my head (always wanted to learn growing up). After these lessons I feel confident that I can drive manual in a variety of situations and actually enjoy driving and being more connected with the car. Highly recommend for anyone looking to learn manual!
Had a great learning experience with Carlos learning how to drive stick in 5 sessions. Carlos has these amazing models for teaching the mechanics behind the car. Also learnt a number of skills that are useful in everyday driving in different scenarios. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to learn stick with no experience!
I don't leave many testimonials but this is one I HAVE to leave based on my great sessions, to share with anyone seeking others' experiences. To the point - Carlos is an amazing instructor. He's so friendly, his instructions were clear and informative, there was no such thing as a silly question - he answered all of my questions and made me feel comfortable discussing them. I had a few sessions and feel confident in my manual stick shift driving now, more than I did when I first started. If you're reading this and considering some lessons, I will tell you now - you will not be disappointed. I highly recommend Carlos at Shifters.ca
Carlos is a supreme teacher. The communication was excellent , and he is a real professional. Whether you learn by feel or by knowing technically what is going on under the hood and on the dash, I think he is able to translate his knowledge, skill and passion for driving stick to anybody. Highly recommend. It was a pleasure to ride and learn with him. He made me safe and competent for driving (and parking!) along the windy mountains and tiny narrows in Europe.
Had a fantastic experience with Shifters. I had a little bit of experience driving standard previously, but not much. I wanted to take some lessons before going to Europe and potentially renting or borrowing a car there. Carlos managed to fit me into his schedule on short notice. He explained manual transmission in the clearest way I've ever heard, and showed me a lot of helpful little tricks. I ended up renting a manual transmission fiat in Sardinia for two weeks, and had a great time driving it along coastal and mountain roads, through lots of roundabouts, etc. I used the techniques that Carlos taught me daily. If you're looking to get very comfortable in a standard vehicle this is, in my opinion, the best lesson that you can take!
