Over-tightened one of my wheels after 4 tyres changed. Extremely dangerous. My wheel suddenly started shuddering and could have come off at any time. I have kids. 4 out of the 5 bolts were snapped. Of course, Formula 1 are denying it was them, even claiming someone else had tampered with the wheels. I've had 3 independent mechanics who ALL have fedback that it was the tyre fitters and this is a common problem. Alloy wheels vs steel wheels; I have alloys but the manager said the fitter would have got the torque setting from looking up my number plate on the system (and not looking at the actual wheels). You couldn't make it up. Negligent company. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Exceptional Customer Service

Had at puncture in my car at 5:15pm on a Friday with a big motorway drive ahead of me the next morning. Phoned F1 in Hertford in desperation. They immediately said bring the car down. They had it fixed by closing time at 6pm. Absolutely wonderful customer service. They will be getting a lot more business from me in future. Thank you Gentlemen.

Missing wheel nut

Had 4 new tyres fitted. At the mot today advised that it failed due to a missing wheel nut. Phoned formula one. Told that they will look in the garage for it. No apology, no hint of any concern that they could have caused an accident or damage to my car. Very unsatisfactory experience.

I visited today, no sign of the missing nut. New one ordered from Toyota. Customer service much improved polite and genuine apology received.

Paid but not done

I needed two tyres urgently, so booked and paid with Formula One as they offered a slot at 2.30pm the following day. When I turned up they said there was no way they could do it. I asked for a refund and was told I should get it in five days. It was not company policy to refund immediately!! I went to a local garage who did the tyres while I waited, and took payment after it was completed. If booking on line be warned.

Problems removing rear tyres on MGtf which took some time but new tyres fitted and work completed satisfactorily and with good feedback. Have used F1 in Hertford on a number of occasions over past years and always found their service very good.

Customer service nil.

My husbands van had a flat battery when he came out from work today. He was 10yards from F1 autocentre Hertford & popped in to ask if they could help with a jump start to get him home. It was 32 degrees! They flatly refused. I had to leave my children with a neighbour, go to his workshop, get jump leads, travel for an hour to him & get him going. Absolutely shocking service. He would have given them money for a drink...

Wow!

Wow! These guys are so thorough. I went in to have the Aircon re-gassed, they noticed a warning light was on regarding tyre pressures, so they took the trouble to check all the pressures and even topped up the windscreen wash!

Are very friendly and professional bunch of guys, great job. Thank you

Unhappy with experience

Unsure why an MOT & Full Service took all day. Dropped car off at 8:30am. MOT passed 10:47am.

Car parked outside the garage by 2pm but unable to collect until 5:30pm.

Brakes now squeal/squeak while driving and while depressing brake pedal.
