The reviews speak for themselves
A 99% first time pass rate, 5.0 from 35 Google reviews and 5.0 from 60 reviews on Word of Mouth, where Auslink has taken out the Service Award in 2022, 2023 and 2024. I am not going to tell you I am the best driving instructor Kew. Ninety five reviews across two platforms, averaging five stars on both: read what people in Kew actually wrote and decide from that.
Who you will be learning with in Kew
Every lesson in Kew 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 Kew 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.
His extensive knowledge of the roads, friendly personality and calm demeanour are very assuring for any level of driver, whether you've just started or are going for your test.

Questions we get asked
How much does a driving instructor Kew charge?
$75 for 60 minutes and $140 for 120 minutes, with no travel surcharge anywhere in Kew 3101. Most Kew 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?
One instructor, not a rostered pool, and the same person every lesson. Nobody has to re-learn that you struggle with a staged approach to Kew Junction, one approach at a time. VicRoads accredited, Cert IV in Transport and Logistics, Working with Children checked, a 99% first time pass rate and 5.0 from 35 reviews.
Do you do automatic driving lessons Kew?
Every lesson is automatic. 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.
Do you offer learner driver lessons Kew?
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 Kew.
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 Kew 3101, home, school or work, plus the neighbouring suburbs. We also train on the real VicRoads test routes at Carlton, Bundoora, Deer Park and Coolaroo.
