I needed my brakes done with Discs and pads and one garage quoted me nearly three times as much without actually checking the parts that needed replacing. Tony at F1 Basingstoke took the time and great pride in fixing my brakes and I can’t thank him enough. He saved me over £400. Thanks Tony.

Excellent service (again) - Basingstoke Branch

Another excellent experience with Tony and the team at the Basingstoke branch. After helping me out in a mini emergency a couple of years ago, they earnt my loyalty and I've used them ever since. I've used them twice in the last month and I cannot fault their service. I will continue to use them in the future and would recommend to anyone local.

Once again F1 Autos in Basingstoke save the day. Had a roadside breakdown, managed to get a tow to these guys, the following day they call up and confirm the problem, then fix it at a very reasonable price. I've said before, I wouldn't trust my car with anyone else and the team at F1 are absolute legends. See you for the next service and MOT!

Supreme service

From start to finish dealing with Formula 1 was easy and practical. Initially ordered the tyres online and got free summer check and free alignment check, just as well I got this checked as when I looked at the print out of the alignment you’d think the car had been driven by Ken Block.
Was given some good additional advise and service with a smile from start to finish, no delays, expectations managed, will definitely be returning when I need to

I called at short notice.

I called at short notice to have my van front tracking checked and adjusted. 45mins later it was all done and adjusted. Excellent service from the Basingstoke branch.

Staff go the extra mile

I would like to say how fantastic a member of staff in the Basingstoke Centre (Winchester Rd) is. His name is Darren Wells and he really is to be commended. He was so helpful and gave me so much more info than I was expecting. He enabled me to save some money and advised me how often I should check certain things on my car. He really went the extra mile and I will be going there for all my car related needs from now on, purely because of him.

Great experience with F1 Autocentres in Basingstoke

The whole experience with F1 Autocentres was very good. I ordered my tyres on line, chose a time for fitting and paid in advance. A confirmation e-mail was sent informing me what to do when arriving.

From arrival to having two new front tyres was all done and dusted in about 25 minutes. No hassle, no trying to push extras and all done with utmost courtesy and professionalism.

I will use them again and recommend them.
