It was a great day/s for the towing then later the 4WD 2 day course. Thoroughly enjoyed it and it’s helped us no end to gain that extra bit of confidence we need. Ricky was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable. Highly recommend the courses.

I can’t rate Ricky and his services highly enough. Not only did he make towing and REVERSING a caravan possible, he also has gone over and beyond to help us outside our course, in terrible conditions to make sure my family is safe when taking our caravan away. Very friendly, approachable and so helpful. Thank you so much Ricky.
