# Drive Altrincham
Drive Altrincham is a local driving school based in Sale, owned and operated by husband-and-wife team Mike and Lisa Skelton since 2012. Both are fully qualified and DVSA-registered driving instructors committed to developing not just test-ready drivers, but safe drivers for life.
The school serves learner drivers at all stages—from complete beginners to experienced drivers seeking refresher training or skill improvement. They understand that learning to drive is a personal journey and tailor each lesson to individual needs, ensuring pupils develop confidence alongside competence in a positive, educational environment.
What distinguishes Drive Altrincham is their personalised approach combined with flexibility. Customers can choose between male or female instructors depending on preference, and lessons are delivered in either a Volkswagen T Roc or Nissan Juke, both fitted with dual controls for safety. The school offers diverse services beyond standard lessons, including motorway tuition, Pass Plus courses, and refresher programmes for rusty drivers wanting to rebuild skills. They even provide gift vouchers for those learning to drive as a present.
Their signature offering—a 90-minute introductory taster lesson for just £35—removes barriers to getting started. This accessible entry point reflects their philosophy of making quality driving instruction available to the local community. With established roots in the area and a genuine commitment to pupil welfare and long-term road safety, Drive Altrincham positions itself as a trustworthy, local alternative to larger national chains.
