      After trying other school they are not as good. The instructors in Makene are very good, they r understanding and very patience. Very highly recommend for anyone who want to learn to drive a truck.

      After trying out driving schools close to home South of the river and not being satisfied, I went to Makene's. I can't recommend Makene's highly enough, the staff both office and on road are fantastic, lessons are value for money. The tuition I received off Darko was fantastic, I passed first time with a clean sheet.
      See you next year for my M.C.!
