Shevyboy’s Driving School Brandon — Prices, 5-Hour Retraining Package & Road Test Car Rental
Brandon, MB · Owner-run Class 5 school on MPI’s permitted list · Dual-brake training cars · Pickup and drop-off in Brandon
Shevyboy’s Driving School is a small, owner-run Class 5 school in Brandon. It appears on MPI’s official list of permitted driving schools for the city, posts its prices openly on its own website, and is run by Shevado Lyston, whom the school’s own testimonials name as the instructor. It is one of the few Brandon schools where you can read the full price list before you call.
Two things set it apart from a plain hourly-lesson school: a 5-lesson package built for MPI’s retraining rule that applies after three failed road tests, and a road test car rental for $55. The school also uses training vehicles fitted with a second brake on the passenger side, which matters if you are still nervous about traffic.
Published Pricing
The math checks out: 5 lessons at $75 is $375, and 10 lessons at the regular $75 would be $750, so the current offer of $500 works out to $50 per hour, a saving of $250. That is a real discount compared with the $75 single-lesson rate. The school’s website says the offer runs until December 31, 2026, so if you are buying after that date, confirm whether it still applies.
⚠️ Older listings show different prices. Some directories still quote lessons from $65 an hour. The school’s own website currently says $75, so treat the website as correct and confirm the price when you book. Prices don’t include tax unless the school says otherwise; ask.
What Shevyboy’s Actually Offers
In-Car Lessons
One-hour lessons for beginners, refresher drivers and road test preparation. A certified training car and pickup and drop-off in Brandon are included in the price.
Instructor Verification Package
Five lessons for $375, priced as the package for drivers who need the MPI Driving Instruction Verification form after three or more failed road tests.
Road Test Car Rental
A car for your road test for $55. Ask what is included, for example a warm-up drive, before you pay.
Online Theory Course
The school lists a video course on Udemy with an instructor’s point of view. Check that platform for the current price; it isn’t on the school’s page.
The retraining rule in plain terms. Since November 2024, MPI has required 5 hours of instruction from a permitted school after three failed road tests before you can book a fourth. The school confirms the hours on a verification form. Shevyboy’s package matches that exact 5-hour figure, so you don’t have to work out how many lessons to buy.
What the Reviews Actually Show
- Patience is the repeated theme. Reviewers describe an instructor who is calm, kind and knowledgeable, and who explains what to fix without making students feel judged.
- Confidence gets mentioned as much as skill. One reviewer talks about gaining the personal confidence needed for the road test, which is a different outcome from simply learning the rules.
- Encouragement and follow-through. Reviewers say the instructor goes the extra mile and cares about students passing and staying safe afterward.
- No complaints turned up in the sources we could read. The Better Business Bureau lists the school with an A+ rating (not BBB accredited) and no closed complaints in the last three years.
The review base is small, and we couldn’t verify exact rating counts, so treat this as a good sign rather than a measured score. Check current reviews yourself on Google or Facebook before you book.
By the Numbers
Common Questions
Is Shevyboy’s on MPI’s permitted list?
Yes. It appears as Shevyboy’s Driving School Ltd on MPI’s official Find A Driving School list for Brandon. You can also ask to see the instructor’s valid permit.
Does the price include pickup?
Yes, pickup and drop-off within Brandon are included in the lesson and package prices. The school serves Brandon only.
What if I don’t reply to the confirmation text?
The school’s booking system texts you 24 to 48 hours before a lesson. If you don’t reply at least 24 hours ahead, the booking is cancelled automatically. Watch for that message.
Will I practise my exact road test route?
No school in Manitoba should promise that. MPI’s rules say instructors can’t teach the routes used in actual road tests, so expect practice on the skills and road types you’ll meet instead.
Can I pay in instalments?
The school says it offers Afterpay in four interest-free payments over six weeks, and that you must pay in advance to get package prices. Confirm the terms when you book.
Which phone number is right?
The school’s website shows (204) 515-1545. MPI’s list and the BBB show (204) 761-9359. Both may work, but try the website number first and use the other if you can’t get through.
Who This School Is For
Shevyboy’s suits Brandon drivers who want an owner-run school with published prices, a dual-brake car, and one clear package if they have failed three times. The $50-per-hour, 10-lesson offer is the best deal on the page if you plan to take a full course, and $55 for a road test car is a straightforward add-on if you don’t have your own.
It is less convenient if you need weekend lessons: the school lists Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM. Before you book, confirm the current price and whether tax is included, whether the $500 offer is still running, and which phone number to use.
