We're the only manual transmission driving course in Austin with a dedicated instructor and car. Other services use random subcontractors who may not have taught stick before. Plus, we have glowing reviews on Google!

If any of these bullet points applies to you, my 1-hour lesson is likely enough

• You play racing video games.

• Have a general understanding how cars work.

• You know how to ride a motorcycle.

• Bonus: You currently play sports or did growing up.

If these bullet points apply, consider my longer lessons

• You plan on buying an older, vintage car. These are often more fragile and harder to drive.

• You plan on buying a high value, high performance car (Porsches, Corvettes, etc).

• You want to do track, autocross, or high performance driving events.

• You only had your license for 2-3 years.

It depends on the course you choose and how quickly you learn. We usually spend the first 30-45 minutes in a controlled parking lot environment, learning how to get the car safely started, moving, and stopped. If you have experience with motorcycles or motorsports, you'll likely progress to public roads quicker.

It's more likely you'll pick up bad habits, damage the vehicle, and put your safety at risk by trying to figure it out on your own. A clutch replacement alone can run thousands of dollars, damaged transmissions are even more expensive to fix.

For your safety and for the sake of the car you drive, an instructor is highly encouraged.

The current lesson vehicle is a Ford Fiesta ST. A delightfully fun hot hatch that's great to learn on.

Absolutely! Being able to drive a manual car will undoubtedly expand your rental options abroad, as many countries still predominantly use manual transmissions. Many of our clients come to us for this exact reason.

I highly recommend the longest class I offer if you're planning a vacation, but any time behind the well is beneficial.

Never. I've taught nearly 200 people in the Austin area and not a single person has walked away without the skills to drive stick. Some people pick it up quicker than others, but everyone leaves with the ability to drive a manual transmission!

Wear comfortable clothes and closed-toe shoes. No flip-flops or heels, and avoid running shoes with too much cushioning.

Yes, you need a valid Texas driver's license to drive on public roads. If you have a learner's permit or no license, I can still teach you, but we'll stick to the parking lot. Book a refresher or beginner class if this applies to you.

Yes, you need valid Texas car insurance that meets state requirements to drive our cars.
