Use the one on Long Lane in Halesowen.
Use the one on Long Lane in Halesowen.. I went in to have my window wipers replaced and the service was quick and professional. The staff were VERY friendly and fitted the new wipers within minutes. They also checked everything was working properly before I left. Great price and excellent service — highly recommended!Thanks lads for a 5* plus service ..
Puncture Repair
Rang F1 Blackheath, West Midlands this morning as I found I had a puncture.
They said I could go straight up to them - they fixed the puncture quickly while I sat chatting in the waiting room with another customer. Great bunch of guys and great customer service. Thanks again lads!

Excessive labour charge
The company tried to charge me £57 to change the brake light switch. The job takes about 30 seconds and the cost of the part was £13. They tried to say they were only making £1 profit. Apparently they have to charge for 30 minutes labour. That means they will be working on another job and being paid twice for their time.
I got it done much cheaper elsewhere

Easy, quick, friendly, good value
Went to the Blackheath West Midlands branch for two tyres. Easy to book. Good prices. Very prompt service on arrival. Tyres done quickly. Staff were friendly. Will definitely return when the other two need replacing!

Tyre in stock and fitted same day!!
I was looking for tyres on Sunday and found some at F1 and thought I'd book it the next available day. To my amazement they have Sunday availability. Booked it all online, showed up and they cracked on. The two men were really nice and through. Would recommend them to family and friends.

Never Again
Monday 15th July i placed an order for 2 replacement tyres to be fitted on the following Saturday at 12pm. At 11.50am i get a call to tell me they don't have the tyres as they don't have deliveries from the company they had ordered from on Saturdays, don;t know why they couldn't have had them delivered earlier but hey ho. I informed them that i would be there the following Saturday at 12pm. I again received a call at 11.50am on that morning to say they hadn't got them. Needless to say i requested a refund and went elsewhere. Won't be trying them again either

Very bad experience
It has been 3 months I am coming with the same issue with my car's brake squealing. They have changed all the parts, and still the same issue. Paid money for no reason.
I would not be coming here again. Sooooo disappointed. I wish I could go somewhere else and save my time.

Took car into Halesowen branch as brake pads needed to be changed. Work carried out quickly and efficiently and I was kept informed of the process. Staff reassured me that my brake shoes just needed to be adjusted and did this and replaced the pads and discs. Staff knowledgeable and able to do the work on Sunday. at the last minute, which was really useful due to work commitments.
Good service
Friendly, efficient and helpful. Would recommend and use again.
