I like the prices, and local centres, with suitable appts. Would have preferred next day but 2 days is good. I would prefer all the prices to be shown upfront. It would be better if you didn't show BM... See more

Do not use this place if you want to live!!
Booked in to have 2 front tyres changed, person I spoke to over the phone was helpful and got my tyres delivered to store within 24 hours. Had them changed and all seemed well. Two days later I had to travel down to London for work, on the way home on the M25 I heard a slight knocking start, luckily I was then coming off M25 and onto A505 near duxford, my car started making a juddering/vibration so I pulled over (I’ll be honest and say I didn’t know what I was looking for when I got out of the car to have a look) I got back in and tried to drive again, straight away I knew this was something I would need help with as it was juddering uncontrollably, again I pulled over and luckily I was with RAC who came out with in 40 minutes. I explained to the gent what was happening and he asked if I had recently had any tyres changed, I told him that I had the 2 front changed a few days ago. He said I’m hoping they just need tightening and I laughed thinking he was joking!! Unfortunately I was wrong, it was in fact that the person who had put the new tyres on a few days before had failed to do his job and my wheel nuts were all loose, in fact they were so loose that I had already lost one on the journey, RAC tightened them up and checked the other side which were also loose. RAC followed me 10 miles down the road to make sure that it was safe and that the nuts were holding due to not having all nuts on wheel. I asked the RAC what would of happened if I hadn’t of stopped, and he said had you of driven it another 5 miles he was 99% sure that the whole wheel would of fell off!!! Thankfully I was on a road I could pull over on as had this of happened 25 minutes before I would of been going 70 on the M25 with no where to stop!! Thankfully someone was looking out for me that day but it definitely wasn’t F1 auto centre as this could have been a life death situation. You have people’s lives in your hands, family’s travelling and the pure neglect of your worker could have been a different story for me. When I spoke to the area manager all he went on about was I can’t give you a refund but I’ll look into it and kept talking about not having a refund!! I don’t want a refund I want to make sure families that use your company are safe and that your workers are doing their job!!
