  • Highly recommended F1 in Eastbourne. Every time I’ve been the guys have been really helpful and friendly but the main thing is they have been honest with the work that’s needed to be done on my car. As a young female I don’t feel like I’m being ripped off and made to get work done that isn’t needed. They have always explained the work to me in simple form so I understand and are very punctual with getting the work done on my car. I’ve had some terrible experiences in other garages who have taken the mick with getting work done and making me get work done that hasn’t needed to be done, and awful customer service! Just happy I’ve finally found a reliable garage! And the customer service is also great, so patient, caring and I don’t feel rushed. Thanks Eastbourne keep up the hard work!
