I highly recommend Total Driver to both new and experienced 4WD enthusiasts. I have been itching to get my hands on a reliable 4WD and spend my weekends off road, but was nervous about the level of my current skills and knowledge.
I was recommended Total Drive by a family friend, and ended up booking a 4 day trip to Fraser Island with them. The team taught me how to assess the trails, how to work my way through exceptionally soft sand, and even how to perform a vehicle recovery.
Prior to reaching Fraser Island, the team went through how to prepare our vehicles for the sand, why deflating our

Positive: Professionalism
I engaged Total Driver for my daughter. The instructor was very professional, teaching her all the necessary skills and gave her valuable industry experience and while building her confidence behind the wheel. She is now a safe, educated driver. This school is highly recommended from both parent and student.

Did the level 1 4x4 course with Gene and I had an amazing time! He created a safe, positive and patient environment for me to learn in. He was very thorough and was happy to go over things more then once for me. Drove to Double Island Point where lunch was provided on the beach and the weather was perfect. His goal of providing a great experience he knocked out of the park. Everyone in the group had a great day and learnt heaps. Definitely recommend the experience!!

What i can say about Total Drive is it should be the STANDARD for driver training in this country. It may seem sometimes unorthodox to some people but the NORMAL isnt working, this is why this system does. It teaches how to drive not just operate a car and get your hrs up like so many others, it actually saves lifes, it teaches NOT shows. Id recommend this to anyone wanting to feel safe with there kids driving.

I had worked with Gene in advanced driver training when my son was born. 17 years later I was happy to teach my son to drive, but also wanted to make sure he got the final "polish" from someone in the industry whom I could trust, that would mirror my standards. I was happy to let Gene put the final touch's to my son's road education to ensure he is a competent, respectful, aware and responsible driver on the road and always drives to a system with good technique. My son passed his test well. Gene was an integral part in making that happen.

I wanted to improve my friend’s confidence following a minor car accident. My friend is in his 60’s and had lived in a remote part of Australia, with limited traffic opportunities, for the past 20 years. My sister recommended Gene from Total Driver Australia as she had been so impressed with the outcome of his driver coaching with her son. I emailed a detailed referral to Gene and was very impressed at his speed of response, his discussion regarding the referral and his ongoing contact when required. My friend is feeling much more confident and I am so pleased that Gene was able to provide

I engaged Gene to reteach my adult son to become a safer n more skilled driver. My son has some learning issues, n after a minor car accident, had finally become more aware of his need to improve his driving.
Gene told me of his own understanding of the human brain, different learning styles, n successes with some clients with brain injuries. He WAS the person I was searching for.
I admit there were times when Gene was late, or my son's appt was forgotten. I pushed the issue, n then there was better communication if there was a problem being on time. I now get that Gene has had huge issues from

The reason why we booked out son into Total Driver Training was that this was the only school that was prepared to teach him, not just how to pass a driving test, but how to be a competent driver with real driving skills to be a safe, competent driver. I feel safe driving with our son and am happy to give him the keys to our car. I would happily recommend Gene and his team to any parent with a young person ready to learn to drive. We certainly will be sending our next 2 kids to him as they come of age in the next couple of years.
