What people are saying about us...

  • I was pleased with the service I received and the courtesy shown by the staff member who served me.

    - Kim, Newport Pagnell - Feb 8, 2025
  • After a very bad experience at an opposing retailer near to where I live the week prior (Kwik fit - LE67), chosen by my cars leasing company. I decided not to give them the business again and chose F1 near my workplace (Ng6) and chose to pay for the MOT rather than through the lease of the vehicle. The staff were all very polite ,attentative and informative. The works were carried out as expected (MOT). I would recommend this centre to anyone in that area.
