to start off 9/10 times I attempted to contact him gene would leave me without a response for days or even weeks. He was always on his phone when doing lessons sending emails or taking calls which is not only illegal but is stressful as a new driver. despite this I always tried to bring an upbeat mood to each lesson even though gene has all the personality of a sand stone wall. I recently took my P's test and failed due to misinformation I was provided by gene even though I went out of my way to ask him about it to make sure I had it right. this was on top of other things I was misinformed about. If your looking to waste $1500, hours of time chasing after him and waiting for responses before ultimately being given the wrong info about your test then this is the perfect place for you.

I highly recommend Total Driver to both new and experienced 4WD enthusiasts. I have been itching to get my hands on a reliable 4WD and spend my weekends off road, but was nervous about the level of my current skills and knowledge.
I was recommended Total Drive by a family friend, and ended up booking a 4 day trip to Fraser Island with them. The team taught me how to assess the trails, how to work my way through exceptionally soft sand, and even how to perform a vehicle recovery.
Prior to reaching Fraser Island, the team went through how to prepare our vehicles for the sand, why deflating our tires are necessary and how to ensure our gear is secure and ready for the bumpy journey.
If you need a refresher, or need to enhance your skills and confidence in driving, these are your guys!

I had worked with Gene in advanced driver training when my son was born. 17 years later I was happy to teach my son to drive, but also wanted to make sure he got the final "polish" from someone in the industry whom I could trust, that would mirror my standards. I was happy to let Gene put the final touch's to my son's road education to ensure he is a competent, respectful, aware and responsible driver on the road and always drives to a system with good technique. My son passed his test well. Gene was an integral part in making that happen.

The reason why we booked out son into Total Driver Training was that this was the only school that was prepared to teach him, not just how to pass a driving test, but how to be a competent driver with real driving skills to be a safe, competent driver. I feel safe driving with our son and am happy to give him the keys to our car. I would happily recommend Gene and his team to any parent with a young person ready to learn to drive. We certainly will be sending our next 2 kids to him as they come of age in the next couple of years.

Overall, Total Driver is a great learning experience for all beginner drivers. Wether you've never touched a car or you've been trying for your test repeatedly, they guide you all the way. The structured lessons and progression of driving skills is far more confidence boosting in every way. The instructor you are given not only teaches you to drive but to be aware and infuses skills much more valuable. On top of the one on one driving the given EBooks are a fantastic way to further your knowledge and driving experience away from the car. Skills you need to work on or situation you may need to review are all included and are a sure fire way to getting on the road by yourself.
Personally I strongly believe I would not have gotten my P's first go without these guys, I am far more a confident driver.

I recently contacted Total Driver to take over the training for my wife and while she had been driving overseas for years, getting used to the Australian rules and understanding the concept of a good driver were hard for me to relay. Since Gene had been training her he was able to teach her how to look beyond the front of the car and has since gone on to get her licence. All I can say is THANKS - and I can highly recommend Total Driver to anyone especially those going for their licence for the first time.

We had tried a few schools to teach my son how to drive, but they just could not get through to him. He was so stressed he considered giving up learning to drive entirely. A friend recommended Gene and Toral Driver to me. Best decision ever, he was smiling and much more confident after even just one lesson. Now he has his P's. Thanks Gene!
