The worst garbage experience ever…

The worst garbage experience I've ever had.
I would strongly advise to stay well away from this company.
My engine is noisier now than when I took it in. Court the mechanic red lining my cold turbo diesel to get the coolent up to temperature...

Customer care consist of asking the manager what that think happened and relaying that back to you. Never even came out to see or hear the car. A total waste of time.
Shame on you...

Customer service skills and approach…

Customer service skills and approach from Alan (Manager) were superb. Required tyre (not in stock) was quickly ordered and then fitted within 24hrs. Very competitive price (saved over 35% from main agent quoted cost) Also provided expert advice and assistance with another (non-tyre) MOT issue. Highly recommended.

Outstanding service, work and politeness of staff

Outstanding service and work. Mel along with other staff was extremely courteous and professional. Made an otherwise daunting process very easy and straightforward. Would recommend on how good staff are let alone the great work and care taken with my vehicle.

"I had an excellent experience at the Formula one autocentre, Rayleigh. The receptionist was incredibly helpful and informative, even fitting me in for a wheel alignment without a prior booking. Not only that, but they also offered me a fantastic deal on the service. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend this place!"

Super helpful - Rayleigh Road

After failing to get my number plates off of my car (due to very rusty screws) I popped to Halfords Rayleigh 👎🏼👎🏼
So as I was driving home, I thought I’d give these guys a shout.
A young chap called Flynn couldn’t help me enough, he managed to get the stubborn plates off and even fitted my old ones back on.
I cannot sing his praises enough.
Great customer service and really went out of his way to help me.
Would highly recommend 👍🏼

Thank you so much Flynn ..
