Had 2 new expensive Continental tyres fitted last August and have just found out one of them was over 9 years old when supplied. Now left with having to replace it as it’s recommended tyres are not used over 10 years old. Complained to customers services but said all they could do was sell me another at cost price. I paid £230 for a new tyre that was old and shouldn’t have been fitted

Mis leading on tread of tyres and tricks

I booked my car in through Blackcircle.com and selected this garage as it was on my way back from work.
I was having the two rear tyres changes due to then having a slow puncture and cracks on the rims.
Once the car was taken through I was asked to look at the car and I was told by all three employees that the two front tyres 'have the cord exposed and are illegal to drive'.
However on inspection the two front tyres were well above the limit all over and had no cords on show. There were at about 4 to 6 mm.
So they would need changing in 6 months to a year.
Lucky I knew about cars etc, but if not I would of been tricked into buy two extra tyres. They also under inflated the two new tyres.
Be careful using this garage as it appears they will trick and bully you into buying extra tyres and having under inflated new tyres will half their life.

Had a flat tyre at the Range in cannock, got to Mr Tyres just around the corner totally flat , sorry we can't help you! Come on what! . So drove on a totally flat tyre to Formula 1, Chris was great even though there was only him and another guy and other customers they fitted me in, so thankyou Chris and Formula 1. I had a new tyre as the hole was in the sidewall and as he only had the one tyre in my size once repaired i drove to the other Formula 1 centre in Wellington Telford where John sorted me with another matching tyre on the front and also did my four wheel alighnment discounted, so Chris and John big thumbs up at Formula 1 Autocentres.

Brilliant service

I have used cannock branch for many years and have always had excellent service. The guys are all brilliant and I have always had a positive experience. They are reasonably priced and fully discuss any work that needs to be carried out.

Service on my bmw

Booked my BMW in for a service-
Car was working a1 before hand.

Got my car back later that day took it home, went out in it a few hours later, turned it on the engine felt horrific even whilst idoling- it was rattling like crazy and so so loud. Took it back to speak to the staff nothing but rude and not helpful what so ever and said it was down to my driving! Took it for a second and third opinion they said the incorrect engine oil has been used!! Not to mention i payed the extra £20 for specialist oil....
Any how i messaged customer service and waited for a reply absolutely no response what so ever.
So just to be clear do not take your car here for a service else you will come out with a scrap value car.

Absolutely horrific customer service

Cash Grab

I have used these a lot. I had 4 tyres this month from them for my and my daughter's car. All good. After taking my wife's in for a service they called me for 'extra work'. I was put on ythe spot and agreed to the work, which I accept. But after I gave it some thought, they pulled a bit of a fast one. Wheels re-alligned and ballanced and spark plugs - £300.00. Strange how a tyre place finds tyre related faults. All the work was inconsequential and I so regret agreeing to it on the spur of the moment. They really let me down and I will not be going back - I feel so annoyed!
