Re check the details before you pay.

Absolutely brilliant all round
Absolutely brilliant all round. Myself & family are all customers at Formula one. The staff are highly trained, the quality of work & attention to detail is always spot on. More so I know I can always trust the techs & what they conclude & know I’m always in safe hands. Richard is one of the best technicians ever. He’s such a book of knowledge, so clever & so professional, he’s superb & always goes the extra mile….
Then last but not least Jimmy, Jimmys such a lovely, genuine man, knows what he’s talking about & always goes above & beyond. I feel confident knowing he’s overseeing things & know I’m in are hands. He’s got such a lovely disposition & I like his straight talking way. Couldn’t ask for better. He’s an asset to the business.
Anyone wanting a genuine, honest, reliable, professional company to take care of your vehicles Formula One is the place to go. I’ve highly recommended them to family & friends & will continue to do so, as they never disappoint. Thank you guys 👌👏😚

Do not be fooled in to additional costs they “find”
I required a replacement tyre due to slow puncture at £57.90 including standard wheel balance.
I also booked Car Air Condition Cleaning at £19 where the technicians remove all the harmful bacteria that can build up within the air conditioning system, they circulate a special cleaner through all air intakes and venting systems and remove any unpleasant smells leaving your car interior smelling clean and fresh.
A free summer safety check.
A free wheel alignment check.
Check in was simple, collection brought its own surprises.
I arrived and was advised to have a complete a full wheel alignment - £40 extra - I declined and drove to my local garage that MOT and service my car to check.
When I got into my car my wheel nuts which used to be in a plastic snap box were left on the floor rolling around along with my service book, clearly to much trouble to replace.
The car air conditioning did not smell or feel any different - I called to raise my concerns and was asked to revisit.
When at my local garage the same day
they found the replaced tyre was over inflated and not inline with the PSI shown on the door and was much higher - they then ensured all tyre pressures where as they need to be - and also shared the wheel alignment was not required as minimal and is often a way of getting more money. When I retuned to investigate the air conditioning concern I was immediately told as I entered that it was likely my pollen filter would need changing - and guess what - at an additional charge - I declined. Have left feeling very much taken advantage of and disappointed, I have no issue paying for a service - but there was no evidence or feedback regarding the summer check - be wary please and get second opinions.
The Ipswich rating speaks for itself - very poor.
