Brar Driving School Surrey is a Surrey, BC school that offers training across all seven ICBC licence classes plus the air brake endorsement: Class 1 (tractor-trailers), Class 3 (heavy vehicles), Class 4 (taxis, small buses and ride-hailing), Class 5 (full licence), Class 6 (motorcycles) and Class 7 (learners and novices). It also helps students prepare for the ICBC knowledge test and book an early test. Its website says all instructors are ICBC-certified professionals.

The school is open seven days a week, and a third-party directory shows a 4.4 out of 5 rating from 129 reviews. Reviewers mention first-attempt passes, friendly staff and an accommodating owner, and they also mention a modest office and limited parking after 3 PM. The school doesn’t publish prices, so this page covers what is public and what to ask before you book.

Training Offered

Knowledge Test Preparation and Early Booking

Beyond in-car lessons, the school’s website offers practice knowledge tests that mirror the ICBC format. Directory descriptions say it prepares students for the knowledge test for cars, buses, trucks, motorcycles and trailers, and that it helps with early test booking through ICBC. One listing says knowledge test preparation is available in English and Punjabi, and that a Knowledge Test book is available in Punjabi; ask the school which languages it teaches in today.

Some listings for related schools claim very high pass rates. We haven’t independently verified any pass-rate claim for this school, and ICBC doesn’t publish results by school.

Pricing

Before you pay, ask the school for these in writing:

• Lesson price and length. What does one lesson cost, and is it 60 or 90 minutes?
• Class 7 course price. What does the full course cost, how many classroom hours does it include, and how many in-car lessons?
• Knowledge test and early-booking fees. Are they included, or charged separately?
• Road test car. Is a car available for your road test, what does it cost, and is a warm-up lesson included?
• Pickup. Is pickup and drop-off free, and how far does it go?
• Cancellation and refunds. What is the policy if you cancel or reschedule a lesson?
• Tax. Are quoted prices before or after GST?

What Students Say

A directory shows a rating of 4.4 out of 5 from 129 reviews, with 85 percent five-star and 14 percent one-star, so opinions are polarised rather than uniformly good. A second listing of the same school shows 74 reviews, so treat the count as approximate and check current Google reviews yourself. Reviews we read mention:

• First-attempt passes. Several reviewers say they passed their tests the first time after training here, and one said they were prepared for the knowledge test in a single day.
• Confidence after lessons. Reviewers describe feeling more confident behind the wheel after a few lessons, including experienced drivers new to Canada and young drivers.
• Staff and owner. Reviewers describe the staff as friendly and helpful and the owner as welcoming and accommodating.
• Instruction quality. Reviewers say the instructors were patient, positive and experienced.
• Practical drawbacks. The office is described as modest, and parking is limited after 3 PM.
• A mixed minority. One in seven ratings is one star. We couldn’t read individual complaints, so ask the school about anything that worries you.

Location and Hours

What to Bring to the Road Test

The school’s FAQ says to bring valid ID, your learner’s or novice licence and your appointment confirmation. Check the current ICBC rules for your class before test day.

What We Could and Couldn’t Verify

• Public sources used: the school’s website (home page and class pages for Classes 1, 4 and 6), Apple Maps, and third-party business directories.
• ICBC certification: the website says instructors are ICBC-certified. We haven’t checked that against an official ICBC or provincial list.
• Not published: prices, owner name, years in business, instructor names and vehicle details.
• Class 7 and Class 5 pages: the Class 7 page didn’t load for us, so Class 7 details come from listings.
• Social media: the school lists Facebook, Instagram and TikTok (@thebrar_school), and one listing shows a YouTube channel.

Common Questions

Who This School Is For

Brar Driving School Surrey is a strong candidate if you want one Surrey school for several licence types, including commercial classes, a knowledge-test coach, and a school open seven days a week. It is a good fit for learners who want help with the ICBC knowledge test and early booking, and for people who plan to train for a taxi, truck or motorcycle licence later.

It’s a weaker fit if you need published prices before you call. Confirm the address, a written price for each service, the instructor’s licence, and the cancellation policy first.
