  • Previously loyal to Ford's for many years. Due to not being able to book with them in time for my cars MOT last year, I looked elsewhere and found F1. Much more personal experience. Staff are always friendly and polite. I've visited F1 three times since the MOT, and won't be going anywhere else. Thank you
