Great service new Manager is on the ball and she is very knowledgeable as well. Keep up the good service.
Hugely helpful, pleasure to deal with.
Dealt with Charlene at the Swindon branch today who was very polite and helpful. My girlfriend had hit a pothole and needed a new tyre asap so after a quick phone call I brought the wheel in (off the car) and they had a new tyre on and it all sorted in less than 20 minutes. Fantastic service. Thank you!

So much different than Oxford.

SWINDON - Thank you Charmaine and her 'crew' for looking after me so well.
They went the extra mile for me. All work completed on time and at a reasonable price.
The coffee and biscuits whilst I waited was a nice extract touch.......but perhaps thats only for ladies of a certain age with a walking stick

Popped in to the branch Sunday to talk to some one about getting my tracking done to where I waited in reception for 20 mins before any one came out to see me while waiting all I could here was swearing being shouted around the workshop when some one finally came to talk to me the lad was very unprofessional saying they could track my car (they have done my car many many times) I ask why and got told because I don’t want to I asked to speak with a manger and there wasn’t one on site what makes it better when I asked the lad why he didn’t have steel toe boots on I was told there not required for the job 🤣👍

First class customer service and first class work.
So glad I found them to carry out the work needed to pass the MOT.
The Manager (sorry I can't remember her name) was very professional.
I will be returning for any future works on my car
Great Garage
Took my Car in for an MOT, team on front desk were very friendly and super speedy!
MOT was done swiftly and had an update within the hour from the team!
Really good team at the garage!
Thanks :)
Excellent customer service as always
Excellent customer service as always. Been using this garage for a few years now.
Ordered my tyre online on the Monday
Ordered my tyre online on the Monday. Their website said it was in stock. I booked an appointment for the Tuesday to have it fitted. I received a phone call on the Tuesday to say the tyre hadn't arrived and that it would be in on the Wednesday morning. They said they would phone me to let me know when it arrived. 1330 on the Wednesday I phoned them and was told my tyre was in but no-one to fit it. I eventually had the tyre fitted on the Thursday. Although the lady behind the desk apologised it still took 3 days before they could fit it. Why have an online booking service, advising the tyre is in stock, when it's not and the appointment can't be kept..

I recently had the pleasure of visiting F1 Auto Center, and I am beyond impressed with their exceptional service and professionalism. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm welcome and attended to promptly.
The staff at F1 Auto Center are incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the issues with my car in a clear and concise manner. They provided a detailed estimate and discussed all possible options with me, ensuring I was comfortable and informed before any work was done.
What truly stood out was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. The technicians worked diligently, and my car was returned to me in pristine condition, running better than ever. The turnaround time was impressive, and I appreciated their transparency throughout the entire process.
The overall atmosphere at F1 Auto Center is one of professionalism and customer care, making it clear that they value their clients and strive to provide the best service possible.
I highly recommend F1 Auto Center to anyone in need of automotive services. Their expertise, honesty, and dedication to customer satisfaction set them apart from others. I will definitely be returning for any future car maintenance and repairs. Five stars!
