Four tires fitted professionally and ahead of time. Friendly professional service. I would happily use these people again and recommend them to others.
After experiencing a blown tyre on the A14 in rush hour, we managed to "limp" to the Formula One Garage in Histon Road with the help of the RAC at 5.30pm. I cannot praise Owen, the assistant manager e... See more

driving instructor in need
I’m a driving instructor in Cambridge and unfortunately I managed to get a screw in my tyre this morning! I went to the center explained to the service manager the issue and that I had and I was due another lesson.
15 mins later the job was done the lads really saw me right and they were professional to go with it!
I will definitely be heading back there if I need anything else sorted.
A huge thank you to the boys

Efficient and kind. Thanks Guys
My front tyre was deflating. I needed help so I took a recommendation from a friend and called Formula One in Cambridge. They answered immediately and told me I could bring the car in straightway. It turned out the only problem was a loose valve. They were great. They fixed it really quickly. Then, they didn't charge me! Efficient and kind. How rare is that? When I need new tyres, I know where to go. Thanks, Guys

Cambridge-Histon Road
I've had my car in to the Cambridge-Histon Road branch a couple of times--once for a nail puncture and another for an alignment. They were able to complete the services both times on the day, and at a terrific price. Would highly recommend for their ease and great customer service.

Excellent service
We had a puncture and needed to find a garage at quick notice. The staff were very friendly and efficient and went out of their way to fix our car straight away even without an appointment. They could not have been more helpful and we were on our way again quickly. Highly recommend.

Punctures never come at a convenient time do they - and the Sunday of a Bank Holiday weekend is definitely not convenient! My local Formula One Autocentre at Histon Road, Cambridge was the only tyre garage open. Even though they were extremely busy when I pitched up, they managed to fit me in somehow and soon had my tyre fixed. Absolutely fabulous service. Thanks Rich and team. A+

Pothole damage to On the Road in sixty seconds!
After hitting one of the popular potholes in Cambridge and puncturing the tyre along with damaging the wheel late on a Thursday afternoon, I rang and spoke with Rich and he said to come in and they would look it over.
When I got there, I was greeted by Rich who got John to look at things and between them they sorted a replacement tyre and also fixed the significant damage to the wheel so that the car was roadworthy again!
The speed, professionalism (as well as a good price for the replacement) and great attitude of both will mean I will be back there again if I ever require anything to be done to my car.
Thanks guys … you were stars!

Great service
Thanks to the team for very helpful and quick service. I went to two other garages who couldn't fit me in for several days for a tyre repair. F1 did and I will be using in future!

Professional and accommodating
Went in with an issue with a tyre and a bulb that needed replacing. Despite not having booked and being very busy, Rich was able to accommodate me and sorted it out in no time. Very different experience than in the garage across the street (ATS Euromaster), who even for a 10 minute job were only able to book me in for a week after). Thanks so much Rich, you made my day!
