Formulae One Haydock , Merseyside …
I have been to this particular branch at Ashton in Makerfield several times in the past, the service was top notch, in fact exemplary, I had great difficulty removing my wheel at home due to tyre damage , I removed the bolts but could not fee the wheel, no problem one of the staff called on his way home, removed the wheel, then had taken it to his home, to be taken to Formulae One, the next day ready for me to collect, beat that for service.

Dropped my car off for an MOT at the choosen time, collected later on in the day. No messing about, no fuss, no piles of paperwork, just an easy straight forward process from booking online to collecting my car. Will definately use again when my car needs servicing or any work done.

Great service
I had a flat tire on my way home and was unable to drive the car for safety reasons. The tire was unrepairable so the team were able to quickly get me in and put a new tire on for me so i could drive home.
Quick service and fitted me in when i was in an emergency such a big help! Rebecca and James thanks again :)

nice & easy site to use and great service from the centre.
Superb Service
Simon at the Wigan branch has gone above and beyond for me today to make sure that I get my van fully serviced, MOT’d and back on the road in the same day. He is also working past the branch closing time (6pm) which is not expected but wanted to make sure the van was back with me today as he said he would. Fantastic customer service and dedication from him, would highly recommend Formula One Autocentres Wigan.
BAD MOT EXPERIENCE
Didn’t even want to give one * but had no option.
AVOID AT ALL COST!!
One of the worst garages I have ever used. They think it’s ok to take your car out on the road during an MOT, rag it around the streets and bring it back with 16mpg, modern cars & technology, thought I wouldn’t notice!!
Absolutely no respect for customers cars whatsoever, plain and simple find another garage in Wigan. Shocking is not the word!!!!
Extremely Helpful.
Extremely Helpful.
I had the car packed up with the children in the car ready to leave for our holiday when I noticed an issue with coolant leaking from the car. I took it to F1 and they were so helpful and ensured that I was back on the road the same day and we were still able to go on our trip.
Thank you guys!

5 STARS!
Honest, friendly fellas & 5 star customer service @ Ashton-In-Makerfield branch.
Had a full service... plus an advisory brake fluid change done on an 18 yr old car that I'm sure hadn't had a brake fluid change done in it's life... and I didn't tell them that beforehand either :)
I will book with you again next year for MOT & Service... Cheers & Thank You all again @ A-In-M F1 AC Branch.
Great service
I arrived at the requested time and the chap on duty got started straight away and completed as he said even with only being on his own
Lovely staff and great service
Thank you very much for your great service. I was supported in dropping my car off earlier than my slot so I was able to arrange a lift home. Updated throughout and all the lads were lovely and chatty :) thanks again! Definately returning x
