The reviews speak for themselves

I am not going to tell you I am the best driving instructor Canterbury. Ninety five reviews across two platforms, averaging five stars on both: read what people in Canterbury actually wrote and decide from that.

Who you will be learning with in Canterbury

Every lesson in Canterbury is taught by Callum Salgadoe, the principal instructor at Auslink and the only instructor in the business. Callum drove professionally for over twenty-two years before he began teaching, first for one of Melbourne's leading private limousine companies and then running his own operation, so the road craft he is teaching is the road craft he used for a living. He holds a Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics and a Working with Children Check.

You deal with Callum from the first phone call to test day. A lot of the learners he takes on in Canterbury are nervous starters, drivers converting an overseas licence, or people coming back after years out of the driver's seat, and the reviews below are mostly from exactly those people.

He is patient, professional, and explains everything clearly, which made me feel confident and comfortable behind the wheel.

Questions we get asked

How much does a driving instructor Canterbury charge?

$75 for 60 minutes and $140 for 120 minutes, with no travel surcharge anywhere in Canterbury 3126. Most Canterbury learners take the five hour beginner package at $360, which is $72 an hour.

I searched driving instructor near me and got a hundred results. What makes you different?

You get Callum, not a rostered pool, and the same person every lesson, so nobody has to re-learn which parts of Canterbury you find hard. Twenty two years driving professionally before he started teaching, a Certificate IV in Transport and Logistics, a Working with Children Check, a 99% first time pass rate, 5.0 from 35 Google reviews and 5.0 from 60 on Word of Mouth.

Do you do automatic driving lessons Canterbury?

Every lesson is automatic, so if you searched automatic driving lessons near me you are in the right place. A current model Toyota Corolla Hybrid with dual controls and an internal safety camera. An automatic test gives you an automatic licence, which is all most people need.

I have a driving test near me booked. Can you help?

Yes. If you are after a driving test instructor Canterbury, we train on the real VicRoads routes at Carlton, Bundoora, Deer Park and Coolaroo before your date, not a made up version of them. Your closest centre is Bundoora. You can also hire the car for test day, so you sit the test in the car you learned in.

Do you offer learner driver lessons Canterbury?

Yes, from the very first lesson. Road rules and the basics first: signs and line markings, where to look and when, holding a lane, deciding at an intersection. We build up to traffic once that is solid.

Are you the cheapest? I am after cheap driving lessons Canterbury.

Not the cheapest, and I would be careful of anyone who is. The packages are where the value sits: $360 for five hours works out at $72. No booking fee and no travel surcharge.

Which driving school near me do you cover?

Pickup anywhere in Canterbury 3126, home, school or work, plus the neighbouring suburbs. We also train on the real VicRoads test routes at Carlton, Bundoora, Deer Park and Coolaroo.
