🎓 Former High School Teacher
❄️ Winter Driving Prep
Everest is a one-instructor school built around Dilli, who directory listings describe as MPI-certified with more than 20 years of teaching experience, much of it as a high school teacher. Review sites rate the school at about 5.0, with the number of reviews reported as roughly 190 to 240 depending on the site. That’s a large base for an independent school, and the comments are consistent: patient, professional, punctual, and focused on safe driving rather than only on passing.
The catch is that almost none of this comes from the school itself. Its website currently shows a hosting “account suspended” notice, so there’s no price list, address or hours page to check. Everything below is from Manitoba Public Insurance’s permit list, directories and review sites, and we’ve marked what’s unconfirmed.
⚠️ Check you have the right Everest. The school’s own site (everestdrivingschool.ca) is suspended. A similarly named “Everest Driving School” website exists with a 778 phone number, which is a British Columbia area code, and instructors with different names. The Winnipeg school’s number on MPI’s permitted list is 204-890-6524 — use that one.
⚠️ Prices aren’t confirmed anywhere reliable. One aggregator lists wide ranges (for example $50–$80 for basic lessons) that we couldn’t tie to the school. Ask for its current per-hour rate, package prices, and road test vehicle cost before you commit.
What Everest Actually Offers

Mock Road Tests
Practice tests with feedback, in modern dual-brake training cars.
What the Reviews Actually Show
- Dilli is the name behind nearly every comment. Reviewers call him professional, patient and punctual, and say his lessons are detailed and practical.
- The teaching philosophy comes through. Students say he teaches safe driving for your own safety, not just to pass the test.
- Personalised feedback and parallel parking are recurring themes. Both are mentioned repeatedly and match the services the school lists.
- Nothing negative turned up in the sources we could read, but those sources are aggregators rather than the review platforms themselves.
We deliberately did not use some recent-looking 2025–2026 reviews we came across on a similarly named school’s site, because they name a different instructor and may belong to a different business.
By the Numbers
Common Questions
Which address is correct?
Directories disagree: some list 49 Burning Bush Bay (R2J 2E9), another lists 359 Drake Blvd (R2J 1J7). Both are in the same part of Winnipeg. With no working website, call 204-890-6524 and confirm where lessons start.
Why is the school’s website down?
It currently shows a hosting suspension message. That could be a billing or technical issue and doesn’t by itself mean the school has closed — it still appears on MPI’s current permitted list — but it does mean you should phone rather than rely on the web.
Will I practise my exact road test route?
No school in Manitoba should promise that. MPI’s rules say driving instructors can’t teach the routes used in actual driving tests, so expect preparation for skills and road types, plus mock tests.
Is it MPI-permitted?
Yes — it appears on MPI’s official list of permitted Class 5 driving schools for Winnipeg. You can also ask to see the instructor’s valid permit.
Can I get lessons in another language?
We found no statement about languages. Ask when you call if you need lessons outside English.
Who This School Is For
Straight answer: Everest is worth a call if you want an experienced teacher-turned-instructor with a strong reputation for patience, and especially if you want help with winter driving or parallel parking. The review base is large for a small school and the feedback points the same way.
The practical gaps are big ones: no working website, unconfirmed prices, and two competing addresses. Phone first, write down the rate and the pickup location, and confirm you’re speaking to the Winnipeg school.
