Had a new tyre fitted Saturday. This morning, Monday, a tyre pressure warning light came on. As I happened to be very close to the garage I popped in to see if they could check the tyre pressure. I... See more

Great service at short notice.

We had a slow puncture on the way back from the airport Saturday night and woke up to a completely flat tyre Sunday morning, we took it to formula one first thing Sunday morning and was seen very promptly. Expecting to pay for a new tyre the staff managed to repair the existing tyre therefore saving us money which is greatly appreciated. The staff were very helpful and friendly and we always recommend formula one to people we know.

Amazing service and price

Amazing service and price. Drove in as another garage had confused me and I didn't understand what I needed. Reception guy (chris) was so helpful and got someone to look at my car straight away. New battery in 45 mins later. Max was really good explaining everything and offered to work on it straight away. Highly recommended.

Representatives of the company.

Used this company in the past without issues, and having work done on my car today went without issue.

The reason for the 2* review is that while the work was being done on my car I went to the supermarket across the road. When coming back to the garage, two of the Formula One Autocentre staff (identifiable by the logos on their polo shirts) were sitting on the wall on the walkway smoking a huge joint.

Would I want these stoners fixing the brakes on my car? Definitely not, so fortunately they were getting wasted while my job was being done.

Do what you want in your own time but not in public whilst advertising the company that you work for, and working on the public’s vehicles.

Excellent service

Visited Friday 22 March and asked for advice ref. bulge on front nearside tyre. Matt came out to my car in rain and advised new tyre needed. Told me price and said he could get for following Tuesday. I wanted to get new tyre as soon as possible so said OK.
The following day I received a call from Chris who said tyre in and could fit that day. I arranged appointment for 3-30pm, arrived a little early and was seen immediately. Tyre was fitted and I was asked if I wanted tracking checked, I said yes.
All completed and out of shop in less than 45 minutes. No charge for tracking, EXCELLENT service!

Two front tyres fitted and tracking…

Two front tyres fitted and tracking adjusted, driving home steering wheel not straight, taken back to have put right, no print out given to prove tracking was right, when queried was told the guy was happy so should be okay. Won’t ever be back as the last time I used them had a similar experience.

Booked in for full service and mot over a month in advance. Arrived on site to tell me there was no booking. Refused to give customer service details, apologies or help in anyway.
Used since 2019 will never trust or use again no empathy or help. Disgusting service
