I really must congratulate you on the quality of service i recieved today at my local branch or Formula One Autocentre in Chelmsford. After shopping around for replacement tyres I found your prices highly competetive, always a good start. Backed by the excellent advise at the desk and an obviously motivated and knowlegable technician I felt in good hands for the entire visit. The feel of the car when I drove away was superb which is highly reassuring in the current inclement weather. Once again, many thanks. I will be happy to provide recommendations for your company Jim, Chelmsford

For the past 5 years I have been going to your centre in Chelmsford, for MOT's services, etc. I would like to say that the level of service at this centre is fantastic. I wanted to take some time to send my thanks to the team there. These guys are great at explaining what needs doing, presenting evidence, and more importantly, if it don't need doing they tell you as well, no rip off, hard sell or blinding folk with science. These days this level of service is required to ensure return custom, and I am evidence that these guys really put customers first, and this needs to be commended. Again I will not go anywhere else for work on my car, Keep up the good work! Lee, Chelmsford

The vehicle needed a re-test on it's MOT which is why it wasn't ready quite as quickly as I'd originally hoped. Ewan explained why and managed to squeeze my car in so I did get it back the same day. As always I found them friendly and honest, will definitely use again and I make a point of recommending F1 to friends & family. Anna , Hertford
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

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
