Windsor DC is a well-regarded Winnipeg school, reported to have started in 2016, with two instructors named in student reviews: Dil (also referred to as Mr. Subedi) and PJ. Review sites rate it around 4.8 out of 5, and reviewers describe calm, patient instruction that explains what to do in different traffic situations.
Two things to know up front. The school’s own website is short on detail — it lists services and a contact page but no price list, hours, or instructor bios — so the prices below come from directory listings and should be confirmed. And the address the school gives on its own site is different from the one most directories show. We’ve laid out both.
⚠️ Two different addresses. The school’s contact page lists 346 Windflower Road (R3Y 0X6). Most directories list 58 Vincent Massey Boulevard (R2J 2A9). Phone the school and confirm where lessons start before you go anywhere.
Pricing (From Directory Listings)
The math: the 1-hour lesson is $65/hour, the 1.5-hour lesson is $63.33/hour, and the 2-hour lesson is $65/hour — so the 2-hour session gives no discount, and the 1.5-hour lesson is the best value on this list. The road test package includes a one-hour lesson, but the listing doesn’t say whether the vehicle for the test is included, so ask. These numbers are from third-party directories and the school’s own pages don’t confirm them, so check the current rates when you call.
What Windsor DC Actually Offers
Beginner Driver Training
Foundational skills and practical driving scenarios for new drivers heading toward a road test.
A Named Skills List
Descriptions of the school cover defensive driving, parallel, angle and perpendicular parking, turning, backing, and highway and downtown driving — more specific than most.
Refreshers & Road Test Prep
Personalized refresher lessons for experienced drivers, plus preparation aimed at the road test.
💡 A note on “exam routes”
The school’s road test preparation page mentions covering “exam routes.” MPI’s rules say driving instructors can’t teach the routes used in actual driving tests, so it’s worth asking what that means in practice — most likely general familiarity with the kinds of roads you’ll meet, not a route rehearsal.
What the Reviews Actually Show
- Dil is the instructor students name most. He’s described as calm, kind, and good at explaining why a rule applies in a given situation, not just reciting it.
- PJ gets similar praise. Reviewers call him patient and kind, and say he explains how to approach different situations.
- Small lesson counts show up. One student reports passing on their first attempt after just a couple of lessons; treat that as encouraging rather than typical.
- We found no pattern of complaints in the sources we could read.
Some third-party descriptions say the instructors are Red River College graduates and that the school started in 2016; neither claim appears on the school’s own pages, so we’re passing them along as reported, not confirmed.
By the Numbers
Common Questions
Which address is right?
The school’s own contact page says 346 Windflower Road; most directories say 58 Vincent Massey Boulevard. Call 204-290-8413 and confirm where lessons and pickups happen.
Are the prices on this page current?
They come from directory listings, not the school’s website, so treat them as a guide and confirm before booking.
Does the road test package include the car?
The listing says it includes a one-hour lesson but doesn’t spell out whether the test vehicle is included. Ask before you pay.
Can I choose Dil or PJ?
Both are named in reviews, and it’s reasonable to ask for one when you book. Which instructor you’d be assigned isn’t something we could confirm.
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.
Who This School Is For
Straight answer: Windsor DC suits students who care most about a calm, explanatory instructor and want specific skills covered — parking variations, backing, highway and downtown driving. Both named instructors get consistently warm feedback and the rating is high.
The practical caveats are the ones to settle on the phone: which address to go to, current prices, and whether the road test vehicle is part of the package. Everything else in the picture is positive.
