Meet The Instructor
Colin Parent
I have always had a passion for driving, whether it be racing, 4x4, motorcycles, or hauling 140,000lbs down the road in a fully loaded tractor trailer. I enjoy it all. I have even went as far as flying planes, and plan on being fully licensed as a pilot in the next couple years. I find great pleasure in passing my experience and knowledge on to you, in hopes you become the best driver you can be.

Meet The Vehicle
Toyota Tacoma
2023 Toyota Tacoma is considered to be a mid-sized vehicle (similar to an SUV). We find using this type of vehicle is not only the most safe, but also gives you the confidence and ability to be able to operate a small car, or big truck.
We always make sure our vehicles are well-maintained, ensuring your safety and comfort during your driving lessons. They are also equipped with dual controls, allowing your instructor to take control of the vehicle if necessary.
Benefits of training in a Tacoma
- Mid-size vehicles are more safe than a small car
- Gain confidence operating various sized vehicles
- Better visibility

Popular Questions
NOTE: Lessons with Wheel Good Driving School Ltd DO NOT guarantee a pass on the ICBC road test. Test results are strictly based off of driver performance on test day.
Need to cancel? No problem! We require a minimum 2 full business days notice, otherwise the lesson will be charged in full. Reason being, it is very difficult to fill that spot last minute.
Please refer to your confirmation email that was sent to you for rescheduling or cancelling your appointment.
If you need to cancel a road test, please give ICBC 72 hours notice so you can have enough time to avoid ICBC’s 48-hour cancellation deadline. Otherwise, ICBC may charge you a $25 cancellation fee.
From October to April we run studded winter tires which maximize traction in the snow, and on ice. The vehicle is also equipped with traction control, ABS, and 4 wheel drive, which allows us to maintain control in the worst of conditions.
Is there 1 foot of snow on the road? Are the roads covered in black ice? Sounds like a great day to learn how to drive with a professional by your side!

Delivers the lessons that’s easy to digest, gives instant feedback, and knows how to pass on his roadworthy driving skills to the students efficiently and effectively!Ashwin Shah24/07/2024Colin is a great teacher. He taught me all i know and helped me correct all of my faults. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn driving. The price was absolutely worth it. The truck seemed scary at first as someone who has never rode a truck before, but it is so easy to get used to and has great control.Gavin Chekay22/07/2024Colin really helped me learn all of the stuff necessary to pass my N and more. After taking his lessons i felt much more comfortable driving in the city. Just passed my N very smoothly. Definitely would recommend to learner drivers getting their N soon. Thank you so much colin!Lyle Babin18/07/2024Colin helped me gain the skills I needed to pass my test first try about a month ago, highly recommend.Allan Pusey18/07/2024Very positive experience! I attended a 90 minute driving assessment for my son. Colin, the assessor, arrived early, was very well prepared and pleasant to deal with. His vehicle, a Toyota Tacoma truck, was very clean and in excellent condition. He was very thorough in his pre-assessment, and explaining his thoughts and processes while driving. He did a great job familiarizing us with different areas in Cranbrook to help prepare my son for his road test. This experience was invaluable and gave my son an added confidence boost for his upcoming road test. He passed!
