Three Pedals, LLC

Fantastic experience: While I've been driving stick shift for several years, Cody was able to give me some new tips to work on to improve my driving even further. In particular, he helped me realize the subtle nuance of reversing with a clutch. Now it's second nature for me. Here's to many more miles, Three Pedals!

Fantastic experience: Had a lesson with Cody this morning to learn to drive stick. Fantastic teacher. Great progression, explanations, and imagery to help me learn quickly and smoothly. After the chapter one class I feel confident that I could take a manual car out and become proficient.

Fantastic experience: I can drive stick now! Cody is a great teacher.

Fantastic experience: I live in Buffalo, NY and had a virtual lesson with Three Pedals via chat while practicing in an empty parking lot. The instructor Cody made it easy to grasp the steps to get moving forward, shifting up, downshifting, and reversing. We also spent time walking through the mechanics of how a manual transmission works and what to do in a variety of real-world scenarios. This was exactly what I needed to feel confident practicing more on my own!

Fantastic experience: I have been putting off learning how to drive a manual out of fear. Finally bit the bullet and had a 2-hour lesson with Cody. I am now very comfortable with driving stick! Cody was an excellent, patient teacher. I highly recommend if you’re looking to learn this skill

Fantastic experience: Cody is great. He explains concepts in a very understandable way. Would definitely recommend for anyone needing to learn stick.

Fantastic experience: I have never driven a manual before and Cody lived up to all of the expectations of the positive reviews found online. He was patient, calm, and really helped teach the mechanics behind the clutch, which I found very helpful. He was also very friendly, and the scheduling was pain free/seamless. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Cody is an amazing teacher! I had absolutely no experience driving a manual prior to my lesson, but I was cruising around within the first 5 minutes with ease. Cody was patient, knowledgeable and not only taught me how to drive a manual, but also explained how the manual transmission worked. Learning how the transmission worked helped me better understand what I was doing and how it connected to what was happening mechanically under the hood. He had the ability to make you feel comfortable and confident even when making mistakes. I would highly recommend Three Pedals if you're looking to learn how to drive a manual transmission or are looking to brush up on your skills!

Fantastic experience: I had such an amazing lesson with Neil. Cody was so open with communication and suggestions prior to the lesson and Neil taught me so much! He was clear and patient and allowed me to take my time. After my two hour lesson and a little bit more practice I actually drove myself around in a stick shift car the next day!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with my driving lesson. The whole process was smooth, from scheduling the appointment to meeting Neil in Portsmouth to payment. During the lesson, Neil was really clear and concise with instructions. He broke down the whole process into simple, manageable steps. It didn't feel overwhelming at all! I was driving on (not crowded) streets and made it into 5th gear before the end of the 2 hour lesson. Now I'm getting in lots of practice with my husband's manual car. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: I did a refresher lesson with Cody as I hadn’t driven a stick in 10+ years and wanted to brush up on my driving. Cody is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about driving and teaching. I surprisingly learned a couple things from him I hadn’t initially learned and was able to practice some additional skills. He thoroughly explains every step and the results of your actions when driving a stick. Highly recommend if you’re looking to explore how to drive a manual transmission.

Fantastic experience: Cody was awesome! He was very patient and explained things in a very easy to understand format (specifically the bite point and releasing the clutch which I was struggling with the most). I highly recommend Three Pedals for anyone interested in learning to drive manual or someone with slight experience and maybe struggling with a few things. The lesson left me feeling much more confident in my ability to drive a stick. Thanks again Cody!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough positive things about my experience! Cody was great at explaining things in a clear, calm way that made learning to drive manual feel easy and enjoyable. I was taking lessons in order to prep for driving a manual while on vacation and he went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable and ready for that experience. He choose a car similar to the one I'd be driving, gave me an extra lessons to practice highway driving free of charge, and reached out to make sure things were going OK once I went on my trip. I would recommend Three Pedals to anyone. Learning to drive stick is a valuable skill and learning from an instructor who is knowledgeable, positive, and thoughtful is invaluable.

Fantastic experience: A lifelong automatic driver with NO experience of driving stick here. Every person has their own method of processing information and learning new skills. Some people like step-by-step instructions and some, like me, learn by asking a lot of questions. Cody's patience in explanation and wealth of knowledge in the mechanics of manual vehicles helped me take the first step in driving manual. I am now enlisting Cody's additional help in sourcing a manual vehicle to continue learning my new skill set. **Updated one year after on 11.06.22** I had a follow up with Cody on a new manual vehicle to help figure out some quirks I had shifting. Cody was quick to diagnose, talk me through it and help reinforce the 'slow is smooth, smooth is fast' process. Now I'm rinsing and repeating....

Fantastic experience: Concerned about driving a standard transmission during an upcoming trip to Italy, I booked Three Pedals refresher course. It’s been 25 years since I drove a manual. I’m just delighted with the experience. My instructor, Cody, was stellar - giving clear instruction, encouraging, patient and enthusiastic.He knows what he’s doing and does it really well. If for whatever reason you want to brush up your manual transmission driving skills take this course without hesitation.

Fantastic experience: Cody was the best driving instructor I ever had.

Fantastic experience: Cody is a great teacher. Explains everything very clearly and gives lots of encouragement. It was easy to set up a lesson and communication was prompt. I'd recommend Three Pedals to everyone who wants to learn how to drive a manual transmission car.

Fantastic experience: Hands down the BEST! Cody is an amazing teacher that knows how to explain everything easily and clearly. He’s very calm, very knowledgeable, very patient, and very kind. In addition, he was very responsive when I initially reached out to him unlike a lot of driving schools now. I used to drive manual transmission before but I learned a lot from him. He doesn’t only teach how to drive a manual transmission car, but also he teaches you how to be aware of your surroundings and the traffic rules. I was very anxious to drive but he made it all easy and gave me so much confidence. I needed private lessons as I never drove in the US and it has been almost 6 years since I drove regularly, and I had no idea about traffic rules here and I wanted to get my US license and in just two weeks I got it! And I can’t thank him enough!!! US ROADS, WAIT FOR ME!

Fantastic experience: Cody's a great guy, super patient and funny; really good at taking the edge off when you're nervous, too. Definitely has five stars for a reason!

Fantastic experience: I had a manual driving lesson with Three Pedals, LLC during a vacation in NH--the lesson was a fun challenge and a manual transmission offers a more engaging driving experience. Cody is a patient and insightful instructor. He breaks everything down into understandable steps and the course follows a good progression. I enjoyed the lesson enough that I plan to get a manual car in the near future.

Fantastic experience: Cody is an exceptional teacher, he keeps you calm, instills confidence and is incredibly patient. My biggest challenge was adjusting how quickly/slowly to let off the clutch. His ability to educate me on how to butter the clutch and the gas was a game changer. I can’t wait to get out on the roads some more!

Fantastic experience: I'd never driven a stick shift before, but Cody had me driving on main roads in under an hour! Cody is patient, knowledgable, and extremely kind. Would strongly recommend for anyone hoping to learn manual quickly for a great price!

Fantastic experience: Driving with Cody was a delight! He is a calming, helpful, and positive presence behind the wheel. Can't wait to get back in a manual again!
