I would highly recommend Barry and XDT Driving Instructors. Barry has given lessons to both of my sons. The booking system that he uses is great along with the communications prior to each booking. The feedback to both my sons and to me helped with the whole process and they were able to concentrate on areas of their driving that needed improvement. My sons felt confident and relaxed with his instruction. Barry was calm in his instruction and guided them both to getting their P plates on their first attempts.

I can't begin to put in to words how amazing Mark was with our daughter. His patience and his calm, caring nature are unbelievable but above all his encouragement!!

We will be forever thankful for the guidance he has given and wish there were more people in this world like him. We will see you in 4 years for our next child :)

Alexander J

A HUGE thank you to Mark for how he worked with Alex to hone his driving skills and prepared him to sit for his P test - which he passed first go! Mark's passion and enthusiasm towards his job really shows, and we know first hand how much of an impact that had with Alex. It gave him a boost of confidence which really helped him. We would have no problems whatsoever recommending Mark and XDT with helping your kid with their driving. No matter what level of ability and confidence they have, we are sure Mark will do the best he can possibly to help them. Thank you so much! Stuart and Jo Johnson.

Michaela M

I recently took lessons with Mark Castelli to finally learn how to drive a manual after 40 years of driving an auto. I have had several people (husband, son, daughter, son-in-law & a friend) all try to teach me over the years but nothing seemed to stick. Mark's beautiful nature, calmness and encouragement had me shifting gears like a pro withing 1 hour without bunny hopping. And I can now do a hill start the correct way for the first time in my driving history. Mark was absolutely amazing. My grandson will be old enough to get his learner's permit soon, and I most definitely will be booking Mark in to teach him. Mark, thank you ever so much, you have made me a very happy lady indeed. Michaela

Kody P

This is our second child Barry has instructed. He is extremely professional, approachable and reliable. He puts his students best interest first. Barry was willing to take on a challenge of assisting our son transition from automatic to manual in less than 2 months. Would definitely recommend his driving school to anyone.
