Formula One Autocentres - Harlow Reviews 

Friendly welcome, from Richard when i arrived. Phoned me with some recommendations for bits that needed doing and with a quote for the works. Service and extra bits all done in a good time. Again when I collected my car was welcomed in a friendly manner. All works carried out were done to a high standard. Very pleased.

Turned up and hadn’t realised it was booked to be done anytime between 8:40 and 12:30, I thought it would be done straight away. The manager could see my panic as I had my Mum’s 90th birthday celebrations for the day. He immediately rearranged their orders so mine was done immediately and then kept me informed throughout the process. The staff were all working hard and I am delighted with my new tyre. Excellent customer service and I highly recommend. They also realigned all the wheels as well.

I've used formula 1 over the years and they're generally okay, with a few bad points. However, recently had my van serviced, and I underline the word service, and ended up with a quotation for thirteen hundred pounds of work to the brakes and disc pads, which strangely hadn't been picked up on the MOT in March?
I feel this was an attempt to "Up-sell" additional work. I stress the point this was a full service only, and at no time did I ask for any quotation for extra work.
What a piece of luck I'm actually a service engineer, and know from experience when work is urgent or otherwise.
So, in summary, definitely don't like this method of "finding" extra issues, and attempting to hood-wink a concerned punter. Will be taking my vehicles in future to another garage, where they're not cheap, but at least their honest.

Thank you so much to Ed and Shabbar today for helping my daughter when she got a puncture. She was miles away from home with her baby & dog and they literally saved the day. Well done for such brilliant customer service, we are truly grateful.

Popped in with an emergency tyre problem. Was dealt with swiftly and reliably. Back on the road in no time thanks for your help.

I used Harlow store for a tyre change after I hit a pothole.The breakdown guy said tat he thought the tyre wasn't damaged so I asked F1 to check this. It was pretty clear that they didn't bother to do so. After I collected the car and drove home my locking wheel nut was missing. The F1 person I talked to wasn't interested and just said they had left it in the car although it clearly wasn't there. I thought it was pretty poor service, very unlike the many previous times I have used Formula 1.

Great service from Shaba
He was very friendly and informative
Honoured the online price for my MOT
Comfy waiting area with new seats
Had to pop back for an MOT re-test and my car was seen to straight away, the wait was minimal

Great service and very fast. Lovely area manager too!

Had a puncture. Booked and paid for a repair next day morning.
Reached at 9.00am and repair was done by 9.45am.
Ross at reception was very efficient and perfect!

Great service from booking to collection.

I was actually blown away by the ease and efficiency with which my tyre was changed. I arrived at just the right time which was lucky but the manager had the preasance of mind to fit me in immediately and the whole process was seemless! Outstanding service!
Very well done. It’s so hard these days to find decent service let alone excellent….!!!!! Very well done.

Made my experience amazing … my first time coming to the garage and they made me feel at ease x

Thanks to Scott and the team for great service, very helpful and polite and went the extra mile to get my Civic back on the road for New Years eve.

Thanks again guys (and gals).

Booked mot online, got to harlow branch 20 minutes before appointment, was welcomed by friendly member of staff and said I was staying and he put me in first up the que as others were collecting theirs later. Friendly and efficient service and had a online deal that was cheaper than others for mot.would recommend f1 to anyone.

Scott did an amazing job trying to sort a problem before Christmas

Merry Christmas to all

Scott in the Harlow branch was extremely helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I would highly recommend using this branch and I will definitely be using them for all my vehicle needs now. Thank you so much.

Excellent service friendly staff.... recommended to everyone

Good and Quick Service, Great Staff.

As a Mother of 3, I trust all my children taking their cars to Harlow Formula One Autocentres. Recently, both my young sons' bought 2nd hand Vauxhalls each. They took the cars for exhaust pipe check-ups & the wonderful staff ensured they gave the underneath bodywork an extra safety check for free. A few minor age related issues were flagged & shown & as their parent, I was relieved as Scott on the desk, not only gives customers a lovely welcome, but made it easy to order parts, give fair quotes & book the cars in. The relief felt that my sons will be driving extra safety checked vehicles, is the best! Will be using for all family cars in future. Highly Recommend!

Scott runs the place better than anyone could. Efficient, trustworthy and great with people. Highly recommend as your car is in the safest here!
