Formula 1 automotives review

I had a fantastic experience with Formula 1 Automotives in Rugby. The car servicing was absolutely superb from start to finish. A special thanks to Cory, who did an outstanding job—he checked the car thoroughly, identified all the issues, and made sure everything was properly fixed.

It’s rare to find such attention to detail and genuine care these days. Highly recommend their service to anyone looking for reliable and professional car maintenance!

Absolutely amazing service

Absolutely amazing service. Friendly, helpful and explained everything to me so clearly.
It's sometimes tricky to find a garage that doesn't treat you like you are stupid as a woman by herself, but I can highly recommend everyone I spoke to here. I will now be using them for everything car related. Thank you so much!

Tracking & tyre puncture …

Needed to have the tracking on my Lexus looked at after having 2 front lower arms fitted after I felt a bit of a tremble on the steering wheel at speed.
Also had a rear tyre going down after a few days. Turned out I had a small screw in the tyre.
The tracking on the front was out a fair bit so that was brought back into normal parameters.
No tremble now.
Very good service.

excellent service after initial problem

I had an initial problem as ordered two tyres online with a visit to rugby scheduled for 4 days later. However only one tyre arrived with them and I was informed only when they were about to start the work, which was disappointing as I have to do a 40 mile round trip. Shaun handled the issue with professionalism and as best he could to my satisfaction and was very helpful and friendly throughout and a credit to F1. I returned later in the week for the other tyre to be fitted and left happy and will use this branch again, when things go wrong its how a company handles these things that shows their worth, or not, in this case the customer service received from F1 and Shaun in particular was excellent. This is a head office or website issue and not the fault of the Rugby branch in any way. Four stars not Five due to the fact I remain unhappy with the online service who should have emailed, phoned or text me as they have all my details to inform me they could not supply both tyres on the day I had booked, thus saving me a journey and a wasted half a day off work. Yet I had, and still have had no communication from them in anyway, which is a shame.

Tyre loosing air / they fixed their mistake for free

Bought 2 new tyres from this centre and 1 tyre was loosing the air. After my complains on their website i have been contacted by phone and went back to the garage. Wheel was taken off and checked. The air was leaking around the rim meaning that the person who fit my wheels didn't clean the rust particles on the rims ( this should be always done, but many workers in garages don't bother to do it) and because of that my tyre was getting flat. They fix it for me today and in a day or two i will see if it has been done properly or not.

Always remaind them to clean your rims/ alloys before they fit your tyres on!

Rugby

Small team at rugby but always on hand to assist. Puncture this morning I just turned up knowing Shaun and the team would look to fit me in without any issues. After a quick puncture repair and a check of the car Shaun helped source me two new tyres that will be fitted at the weekend. I'm a high mileage driver and could be described as a regular to this garage and do so in the knowledge that Shaun and the team will provide me with a great service each and ever time.

Best Garage: great customer service, expertise and value!!!

The best garage I have taken my car so far in so many years. Great customer service and expertise. Fair cost, excellent quality. They are always willing to help and to find a space to fit you in case of any emergency. I can’t recommend them enough. I am so happy to find a reliable place where to get my car checked all year round.
