TOPAS Driving School

Topas Driving school is definitely the best driving school in Vancouver! I seriously cannot recommend them enough - I gave my driving test today and passed! All thanks to Lucas and Sofia - my two instructors.I've been driving for 11 years in India but when I moved to Canada, I knew I needed lessons to learn the new rules and ways of this country! Driving in India is nothing like driving in Canada - so trust me - you will need a few hours of lessons before you can start feeling confident.In the beginning, Lucas gave me a short test ride to see what my level was so that he could suggest which package I should sign up for. He was not pushy at all, and told me a few flexible options.I had classes with Sofia and Lucas and they were both tremendous teachers. I felt very comfortable riding with them as they were extremely attentive and patient, and such nice people (the most important part!).I took the Cambie Course (8 hours) initially, and switched to the Broadway Course (10 hours) midway as I knew I needed more practice. I wasn't able to practice on my own or with friends, so learning with them was the only way to get more experience. My instructors went over every detail and question I had and I knew they made every effort to make sure I was a confident driver by the time of my road test.I have never written a review for anyone before - so I really mean it when I say these guys are worth every penny you spend on them! They will teach you and teach you and teach you, until you are absolutely ready!

Amazing instructor!After my classes were canceled by another school because the car was being repaired, I was forced to find a driving school 2 weeks prior to my road test. My friend and I already had experience driving in another country but never in Canada. I was relieved this school took us in with such short notice.Our instructor was Lucas and he was very thorough with his teaching. He was dedicated to making us safe drivers and explained the situations and reasons very well. The car that we got was brand new and easy to drive.I passed the class 5 road test in the first try, and my friend also passed for her class 7.I would recommend this school at any time! In fact, I already did to another friend and she is learning how to drive from square 1 with them.Thank you Lucas and Topas driving school!

I had a few driving lessons with Lucas and he is extremely helpful and thorough in his explanations. He gave very good tips for both theory and driving techniques, and constantly pointed out rooms for improvement when we went driving. I passed my driving test thanks to him! Would definitely recommend to everybody who needs driving lessons! Thank you Lucas.

Absolutely fantastic. Had lessons with Lucas and took the test with Dillon, both were amazing guys. Lucas has an unusual style that would take you to succeed your goals perfectly. Balances theory, practice, important driving and exam tips. Dillon was also super reliable and will help you get over the test easily. Overall fantastic experience, flexible, understanding and encouraging instructors. Thanks for helping me passing the road test and to improve my skills in general.

Lucas was an amazing driving instructor. I have driven for 10 years in South East Asia and not in the past 3 years so I was quite nervous to take the road test in Vancouver. Lucas is very friendly and logically explains the reason behind what is necessary to drive safely in Vancouver. Topas never pushed a package and was able to create the driving plan that I need. After a few lessons and seeing that I was comfortable behind the wheel, Lucas encouraged me to practice on my own. He went above and beyond to facilitate what I needed to prepare for the road test. This resulted in my passing on the first try with no marks deducted. Even the road test examiner was impressed, he said I had a great teacher. I did - thanks, Lucas!

I passed on the first try for my L road test! I had 6 hrs of practice with Lucas/Dillon and another 3 hours the week before my road test. Before my first lesson, I hadn't driven in 6 years+ and had very low confidence due to an accident. Lucas and Dillon takes the time to understand the type of driver you are and tailor the lesson to your needs. They're very patient and kind while promoting a stress free driving environment. I will be back to practice for my Class 5 road test and I recommend TOPAS to any driver looking for driving lessons.

Absolutely recommend! Super professional. Good car (this is really important if you're taking the test w their car).Lucas' teaching style worked very well for me because he explained the why behind the rules. It was so effective that I still remember his tips and tricks today, almost a year after passing my exam. I already had 10 yrs driving experience, and Lucas was able to identify what I needed to adjust. I think I only needed like 3 hours total.I had a short lesson with Sofia, she was a good compliment and filled in any gaps!Really appreciated them both and would recommend to any of my friends.

I have taken my driving lessons with Lucas and I would highly recommend him if anyone is looking for a reliable driving instructor. He is not only capable in his job but also super dedicated and extremely honest to his work. He makes times no matter what and takes interest in teaching students not only the practice but also the theory behind driving. His theory lessons are excellent source of knowledge about different traffic patterns, intersections and real life driving scenarios. Big thank you to Topas Driving school and Lucas, you are the best in Vancouver.

I have just passed today my class 7 road test at 1st attempt. I had never driven before starting the lessons with Lucas, and I took about 25 hours driving lessons with him.I have found Lucas is a very good instructor, extremely patient, always on time, straight forward. I feel that he really set me up for success, and I am really grateful I have learnt to drive with him.I also really appreciated that he was picking me up where it was convenient for me, not all the driving schools have that flexibility.Thanks again Lucas! :)

I had a wonderful experience learning with Lucas as my instructor. He is very knowledgeable and patient and made sure I had sound understanding on any rules or maneuvers before moving to the next step.He is very thorough in his practise and will pick you up on your mistakes until you don't make them again! This is a virtue to his teaching as it will teach you to be a great driver. He will teach you to his standards, not to 'just pass the test' as I have heard other instructors do. I was confident going into my test and I passed first time.Strongly recommend and I have already passed details onto friends who are ready to learn.Thank you again Lucas!
