Ordered tryes online. Ready next day at Rotherham branch.
Booked in time slot. Free tracking check included.
Which showed why tyres had worn unevenly.
Viewing windows to reassure you they are taking car of your car. Decided to have tracking done at a very competitive price. Reception lady, very friendly and the young man who took care of my BMW was very polite and professional

Ken and Becky! Assets to the team!

Had a flat tyre at 3:45pm on a Sunday! Got myself down to Formula One at Rawmarsh and even though they hadn’t got the tyre size I needed in stock Ken and Becky were absolutely fantastic! Put my spare tyre on for me and got me on my way until I could get me new one! Would recommend the Rawmarsh branch to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Edited: Joke of a garage

Edit: after reading my review the regional manager called me this morning (10-2-25) to apologise for my experience and service received at this garage. Which I appreciate as he didn't have to do this and gave me a little more faith to use this company in the future. And on reflection have changed my initial 1 star review

Joke of a garage. Nearly 2 hours to fit 4 tyres. Purchased 4 new tyres from Asda website and formula one came up as a recommended fitter so booked in for 16.30, arrived around 16.15 to be told would be an hour to 90min to complete the fitting, which was bad enough, when realistically it should be no more than 10/15mins per tyre for an experienced fitter, but to have to wait nearly an extra 30mins was a joke. And not even an apology. Avoid.
Although Asda were good value for the tyres.

Awful service

Awful service. Booked Friday afternoon for Saturday morning at 9:30. Had a phone call while on my way to the appointment saying there’s been an error and they can’t do the job and need to cancel. Still waiting on a refund, first and last time I’ll use them. Book with local garages people

1 hour 20 mins to fit 2 rear tyres

1hr 20mins to fit 2 rear tyres! Asked if there was a problem getting them off? Yes the bolts on one wheel had swelled so where a pain to get off. I then asked do they usually take this long? Answer was pretty much yeah (no apology or concern). Need tea making facilities in the waiting room and a bed.

F1 Autocenter Rotherham (Parkgate)

F1 Autocenter Rotherham (Parkgate). Booked my 4 year old car in for a service and mot. Used bookmygarage.com and this was by far the cheapest price online, local to me. Turned up and was told no MOT today, as emissions machine broken, said fair enough, go ahead with service and we'll get it in alter this week. Went home. Got a phone call few hours later with a quote of over £1200 to get it through MOT. the car is 4 year old and I only drive about 4 or 5k a year. They advised brakes and pads all round need replacing, balancing, tracking, 2 rear tyres amd I think brake fluid, I stopped listening. I advised no way am I having this work done and asked they finish the service and I will collect, and get some quotes elsewhere. Anyway, checked tyres over, we not as low as they quoted, but got replaced anywhere elsewhere. Then booked my MOT with a different garage. Guess what, it passed with ZERO Advisories. ZERO!!! I will never use F1 again, they are a bunch of cowboys and we're out to rip me off. I should have know tbf, as I has a similar issue with them about 5 years ago. Avoid at all costs, they will make something up that's wrong with your car to try and exploit you. I feel sorry for anyone who might say yes and go ahead with unesssary work. Should be shut down to rip of merchants. Garages like that that give the motor industry a bad name.

Had a service and MOT booked at the Parkgate Rotherham branch. Had to book asap due to needing to tax the car. Booking was easy and could even use pay pal credit which was great. Curtoesy emails to remind me of my up coming appointment. Upon arrival welcomed by pleasant receptionist who went through how it all worked and answered any questions I had. Upon collection the mechanic went through the mot and service results. Thank you for a smooth and pleasant visit
