I would just like you to know of the experience my girlfriend and I had with your Wigston branch in Leicester. I spoke with the branch via phone this morning asking for a quote for my girfriends Peugeot 206CC to have a replacement rear end silencer. The staff member I spoke to was very pleasant and although I had a better quote, he agreed to improve on the quote. Because of the manner in which he handled the call, I chose not to continue searching for a better price and ordered the parts for him. When the part arrived I spoke with him again and he told me that he would be able to get the car in straight away. My girlfriend took her car to the branch and was treated courteously and the parts were fitted quickly (despite the garage being extremely busy when she arrived) and everything was already set up on the computer with the better price so all she had to do was pay for the work. She was so pleased with the way everything was dealt with, she has decided to change our regular garage for all MOT/servicing and general work her car may need. I will be changing to use this garage for all the work on my own car also. Many thanks for the fantastic service experience this branch offered, I will indeed recommend your branch to all my friends/colleagues. I hope the staff who dealt with me on the phone, and my girlfriend on site should be given the accolade they deserve, from your company. Thanks again Ian, Wigston

Jan 21, 2012

All the staff were Very helpful, my tyres had arrived the day after ordering online. Excellent price too. Used the garage in Bolton Rd don't know if Stevenage 1 or 2! Helen , Stevenage 1

Jan 10, 2012

Took my car here for it's MOT, and to get a free winter check. Never been to Formula One before, but heard nothing but good reviews, with a few saying they were pricey. Having seen their MOT as cheap as anywhere else, as well as their Price Promise, I couldn't see how people came to that conclusion. MOT was completed when expected, though unfortunately didn't pass. They offered me the best advice on it, and found prices for everything that it failed on for us. Sadly, the quote was more than the value of the car, as expected, so the car will be moving on soon. Will use again and recommend though. Thom , Nottingham 2 (Bulwell)

Jan 9, 2012

I found the service fantasic, booking online is quick and very easy and been able to pay by paypal is a great option. I could not praise the guys enough for there advice and helpfulness especially for the fantasic price I'm already referring to family and friends. I could not ask for a better service. Lorraine , Hanley

I was served by Daren who was friendly and helpful. I was surprised at how nice the waiting area was and it was warm which is lovely when it's freezing outside.

I am writing just to say how courteous, professional and helpful the staff were there. The mechanic that carried out the work on my vehicle was a young man called Lee. I would like to take this opportunity to say that at all time he was very courteous to me and very knowledgeable in mechanics. Before, during and after he answered several questions regarding my vehicle. He certainly knew his stuff. Overall I?m very pleased with the service I received from your branch and will be returning there when I need further work carried out on my vehicle. Gary, Bletchley

Jan 5, 2012

I went to Formula 1 for the first time last year to seek advice after my car was serviced and MOT by A large dealership company who has always serviced and MOT my car I was really worried about the information I recieved from them about suggested work. Your staff were excellent they checked my car and put my mind at rest and were very informative and helpful. I returned to Formula a few monthslater to have the two front tyres fitted and tracking done. I received an excellent service. I returned again on 3rd January 2012 to have my car serviced and MOT. The car passed the MOT and I was advised of work that would be required over the next few months. I was happy for the staff to sort the work on the same day. I again recieved an excellent service and the advice and information were second to none. I will continue to use and recommend F1 to other as a very please customer Thank you Kind regards Wendy Wendy , Bristol

Jan 24, 2012

Yes it was my first visit to Formula One and I will certainly be using you again. I have already recommended to my family and friends the great cost and speed involved.

Everyone was friendly and professional which gave me a lot of confidence in using F1 again. Reginald , Aylesbury

Jan 26, 2012

Great Service, friendly staff and a new MOT - what more could you want?! Thanks :) Tammy , Southampton

Jan 15, 2012

I visited the same F1 centre a few months ago as my tyres needed replacing and I was impressed then with how the staff spent time trying to find me the most cost-effective solution (rather than trying to strong arm me into paying as much as possible, which has happened at other chains), they were also especially friendly to my children as we waited. For that reason, I chose to return for my full service and for the first time ever, was not 'upsold' anything I didn't need. It was also cheaper than competitors. Very impressed. Holly , Maidstone

Jan 27, 2012

I have used f1 Autocentre in Maidstone for the last 3 years. The staff are efficient friendly and they deliver great value for money I wouldn't go anwhere else these are guys I trust which as a woman means alot I have been to other garages before and been ripped off. I recommend F1 to my friends as the Maidstone team are the best. maureen , Maidstone

All staff we very helpful assisting me with doors into reception with my baby in her pram; and they conducted a free wheel alignment check on my back wheels and informed me that there was some uneven wear to the back tyres as the wheels were indeed out of alignment, and for a reasonable cost they were able to adjust this for me. There was no hard sale just pleasant & courteous information and assistance. Thank you. Samantha , Norwich

Jan 24, 2012

I only recently discovered Formula One Garage when I realised my MOT was overdue! I rang them up in a panic only because they were near to my place of work and it would be more convenient. They sorted me out on the spot, there and then! I was so impressed with the quick, professional and courteous service. Unfortunately, some garages can still be intimidating places for a woman to go in on her own, even if she knows how to do an oil drain, check water and use a dipstick! Keep up the great work Formula One Cambridge Shelagh, Cambridge

Jan 23, 2012

Very good service under difficult circumstances (1k charge!) . I was kept up to date on all work being carried out and was consulted when decisions needed to be made. Carrie , Northampton 1 (Grafton)
