We will be increasing our Class 5 and Class 7 Lesson prices on 1 September 2020 to bring them in line with other Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo Driving Schools. Clients booking lessons prior to 1 September 2020 will get our current prices, which are very competitive.
Our Training Vehicles
We offer Class 4 Restricted, Class 5 and Class 7 training with our 2018 Toyota Corolla and our 2020 Toyota Prius Prime. With the gas powered 2018 Toyota Corolla and hybrid/electric 2020 Toyota Prius Prime we can offer our students training on all three leading technologies: gas, hybrid and electric.
For Class 3 lessons we use a Mack Vision day cab equipped with a 13 speed Eaton Fuller manual transmission. We will be offered Class 1 instruction when we find a suitable trailer. We hope this will happen in the near future. The Cowichan Valley and Nanaimo truck dealers are looking for a suitable trailer for us.
