Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A very slick booking site

Edit: This is about the booking process only. I haven't had the service yet! A very slick booking site to select nearest centre and select from options. I was after the MOT but elected a full service as my car is now 17 and has been serviced at the main dealership every time for a very high cost but the value of the car simply can not justify this and as Formula One helped me with something a year ago without charge I felt I'd like to pass on some actual business.

I needed a puncture repair

I needed a puncture repair. I hot a price online from formula one of ££22.00. I then took the tyre off my wifes car and took it to the garage . The reception guy who is probably late 20 something said he was too busy to do it now. I SAID CAN I LEAVE ITUNTIL TOMORROW LUNCHTIME AND I WOULD PICK IT UP. HE SAID YOU CAN BUT I CAN.T GUARENTEE IT WILL BE DONE. AS WE ARE DOING TYRE FTER TYRE AT THE MOMENT. I won't bother them ever again.
