Reviews of Formula One Autocentres - Derby

w. w.

Absolutely fantastic experience, the guys have a wonderful sense of humour, they treated me with respect. My car was booked in for its first MOT, these guys were very professional 👏. Thank you for being team awesome 👌 Definitely will visit again ☺️.

S. C.

Booked my tyres online, with the great promotion they have on at the moment. Friendly enough when I arrived, and fitted all four tyres in about an hour. If they asked me my opinion about making any service improvements, I'd say only one. Which if they be to clear the tyre soup off. For me it would make me happier with the service.

A. V.

Formula One was very helpful and professional when I brought my car to fit new tyres. This place is run by very skilled professionals which advised, sold, fitted my new tyres within scheduled time and cost. Highly recommended for service and price.

A. B.

I had had a problem with the brakes on my Ford KA- I called and spoke to your Manager there, Matt, who was incredibly helpful and positive right from the start - booked me in for an appointment at Formula One on Ashbourne Road in Derby and then very kindly changed it when I realised I couldn't make it that day, for a SATURDAY (that must always be in demand) - whatever I wanted he said he would work round me!! I took the car in at 0830 on Saturday and Matt took the keys and said he would be in touch later in the day; just a few short hours later I received a call from the Technician there, Craig, who explained everything in detail, wasn't pushy at all, advised me what he would do with this car, gave me an all inclusive price, and said it could be done within two hours - and that included the ordering of parts!! Of course, I accepted immediately and within the correct time frame I was back there paying Matt for the excellent service - to cap it all, I asked where the car was and in the time I had gone on the office to pay, Matt had arranged it be put just outside the office door for me - couldn't have been any more convenient!!!! Whatever these guys get paid can never be enough - service was absolutely beyond reproach - so highly recommended, without any hesitation!! 😊😊😊😊 Andy Broughton

N. S.

So glad I called and brought my car for a brake and alignment check at Formula 1. Matt (manager) was polite and helpful, said they could get my car checked on the day. Spoke to Steve who was practically a saint — he took the time to explain what was wrong exactly as I had a crash not long ago and the garage that fixed it didn’t do a great job. They’re not pushy or sly about recommended repairs either like some other garages. Great team here, would definitely recommend.. especially if you don’t want to get ripped off!!

D. C.

Got my car in after a car v snow and kirb incident straight away without booking when everywhere else was fully booked or couldn't get the part in time. Top class and friendly service! Fully recommended

S. B.

Happy with the whole experience.The technicians are all friendly and pleasant.We don't feel like we are being laughed at either,like some people at other garages seem to be doing.We trust this garage too!

Z. E.

We at Osa First Care appreciate your customers services and support to making sure our Ford was repaired and service perfectly. Thank you

D.

Just got back from here everyone friendly job done and a good price.. no fuss

C.

Had a service and MOT. Really helpful and talked me through what failed and didn me their best prices they could. Thanks for looking after my car!

A. D. O. D.

Fantastic staff and service as is always the case with Formula One garages. A really great price for all the work they carried out on my car. Lovely, polite, understanding staff. I can't praise them enough. Thank you Formula One.

I. R.

Excellent service from them team, addition work well explained and carried out. Being the cheapest for the tyres I wanted was an added bonus, will definitely buy from here again.

t. b.

Very efficient very professional and plenty of understanding. A pleasure to do business with them .

M. M.

The service here is absolutely amazing, not out to rip you off, the customer service is excellent. They look after mine, my Mrs and my daughters car and I highly recommend to anyone. Thanks so much for looking after us. Just service d and MOT'd my daughters Fiesta and proper gave us a really good deal . Cheers guys

S. H.

My MOT and Service were completed quickly and at a competitive price. The Centre Manager/ Bloke behind the Desk (Kieran I think) provides exceptional Customer Service. He calls straight away should there be any issues or any additional costs. Friendly and Very reliable service always 5/5

S. C.

I ordered a tyre and made a mistake, their sales department realised this, they must check every online order. They called me we corrected the speed rating maintained the same price. A great service and I have always found them to be the best price. Thanks for the service Sophie

S. W.

Brilliant service from Paul and team. Took my son's car for an MOT, and they were fast and efficient. Excellent. Highly recommend

M. H.

Love the prices, tremendous service and never once felt as though they hadn't explained or shown issues I've had with cars that needed attention. Trustworthy.

J.

Brilliant service. Brought my car in for a brake and tyre check. They quickly rang back to say they were all fine and they didn't even charge for the check. Thanks guys.

A. T.

Well i really don't know where to begin. I rang up and booked my service and MOT. Left my car with them for the day. They rang my to say my car had passed and service all done. But i couldn't get back to collect my car at the time requested. I spoke to a extremely polite person who said if it suited me i could leave it till the next which was fantastic ' i asked if there was a charge and they said definitely not as your a regular customer just pick it up ant time you can tomorrow we offer this to all our customers new or old. The welcome i got the following day was just unbelievable. Happy' smiling chatty. They had time for me as a person. I am a retired pensioner so the service i got ment a lot to me. Thank you

M. H.

Great experience, again, the reason I went out of my way was because the team not just an individual are competent and deal with whatever is required. Happy to be a customer.

A. R.

Staff helpful and polite. Efficient and prompt service.

R. B.

Air con service was excellent but the free summer check was useless. Added extra 30k on mileage on sheet and called Michelin tyres BUDGET? On the paperwork.

D. G.

Easy to arrange the MOT in the first place. Explained how long. Staff as usual very helpful when i arrived. Pleasant waiting area with tv - simple i know but makes the time go. Exactly the time that they said and kept me informed of any issues.

S. H.

Booked my car in for an MOT and Service. All works completed within a few hours. Competitive price. Honest reporting. Friendly. I have used them before and I will use again.

C. S.

Got my car MOT'd here - friendly, helpful staff; highlighted future issues but didn't recommend having any work done immediately; MOT was done quickly and they opened before I started work and didn't close until after I'd finished! MOT was as cheap as I have seen anywhere else. Would recommend.

R. C.

For 10 years these Guys have looked after both of our cars and have always provided great service at a competitive price. On the 14th May they excelled themselves providing outstanding service that saved me time and money.. Cannot compliment them too much. A great group of Guys providing real customer service. Well done and thank you. R.

V. B.

I had to share I am so impressed with F1 Derby. I hate walking into car places and feel I have no idea what I am talking about or where I am going and honestly a little worried I would get taken advantage of because of my lack of knowledge in the area . Was immidiately put at ease by Keiran who dealt with me over the phone and when I came to drop off/collect. Keiran was pleasent and chirpy and delivered great customer service. My car has been run into the ground a little over lock down due to me being a keyworker and working through it. Keiran spoke to me about the best tyres for my car and what is suitable for he amount of miles. My car didnt pass its Mot first time (which I expect) but this was remedied the same day. Was kept up to date with any work needed and also the price was reasonable too. Booked another car in my household in for next week, would reccomend 100%

N. K.

Some things good, some bad, they got me in for a exhaust back box and tyres (wheels supplied from a different car) at very short notice on a Saturday, which was great. But the wheel balancing weights were not suck on at all and were in the boot by the time I got home, the exhaust was not hung properly on the brackets and I seemed to have paid alot for the exhaust (130 when a competitor quoted 90 on the Monday (all be it a quote that was to late)

C. G.

Very efficient friendly and good service. I was given some excellent advice re my Touareg which is highly appreciated. These mechanics know their cars and are very helpful. Will for sure use them again.

J. M.

The manager was so helpful. The work was done in the timescale given and my car seems it good working order. My lasting impression is of the good customer service provided by the manager; helpful, clear, knowledgeable and friendly.

R. L.

Excellent service. I wanted my tyres checking and a replacement. All done with no fuss whatsoever. I asked if my wheels can be tracked and despite putting it on the machine to test, they showed me the print out confirming it was not required. A garage could have easily have said it needed doing. Will be using again.

Z. H.

Customer service is brilliant, the guy at the desk is very helpful and is more than happy to explain what's happening to your vehicle and which possible routes they can take with it. Have a very competitive MOT price, would thoroughly recommend.

G. G.

Always wary of companies that advertise cheap MOTs because I worried they'll start trying to find extra things wrong to try and make their money back on repairs. No such worries here though, the first time i've ever used Formula One Autocentres and all went well. Service was friendly enough and certainly efficient. Will definitely use again in future. Thanks

N. R.

Fantastic customer service! They recently fit two front tyres to my car & then the cars traction control started kicking in for no reason when driven over 45mph. Kieran & his team went above & beyond to try & diagnose the problem & check whether it had been caused by the work they'd carried out & promised to rectify it if it was. The tyres were re-fit, re-balanced & re-tracked, but no fault was found & after checking each tyre's pressure was correct, the problem appears to have resolved itself. This level of customer service is reassuring & why I'll be returning when I need more tyres!

L. C.

I often use Formula One for all my car needs however I was disappointed this time. I had an MOT and received a phone call from them to tell me that it had failed on my brakes and to get it through the MOT I’d need new disc and pads (front) and new pads (rear). So I agreed. £317 lighter. When I collected my vehicle the fail certificate stated I needed new pads (front and rear). And my ADVISORY was new discs. I feel exploited because I asked them to do what I needed to get it through the MOT. Not any extras (which happened to cost the most).

P. A.

They are very competitive on price and the service is good. However they let themselves down ever so slightly by not wiping the grunge off the wheel rim used for fitting the tyre on to the wheel.

D. B.

Called there as only one I could find open on a Sunday afternoon! Brilliant service. Tyre going down & found screw in it. Plugged it & job done very quickly. Will definitely go back there in future.

M. U.

My MOT was done promptly by a friendly man, to whom I chatted while I watched. It would be nice if, as a matter of course, a plastic seat cover was placed over the driver's seat without the customer having to ask. That is why I only gave four out of five. It was nice to see the manager back after his absence.

S. G.

I had issues with my locking wheel nuts on the morning of the appointment. They were understanding. Once I had removed the locking nuts and bought a new set, they fitted me in later in the day for a tyre change. Thanks to Kieran and the guy who changed my tyres. He explained the tracking issues to me clearly. Used these guys a few times, will do in the future.

j. h.

This is my go to place for car repairs and MOT's. They undercut. So get some quotes locally, they will beat the cheapest. Have had an mot for as little as 15.00. They allow you to buy your own parts and they will fit them. Saves paying vat on top of vat getting them to provide parts.

D. C.

Ordered online and arranged a time for a couple of tyres to be fitted. I was in and out within twenty minutes and the standard balancing was fine with no vibration whatsoever. Friendly reception and somewhere to sit and wait whilst the tyres were fitted. Best price on the tyres required as well. Highly recommended.

D. S.

Very polite and helpful. Booked me in same day for a free safety and alignment check. Fixed my misalignment at a fair price.

T. S.

Booked and paid online, quick and easy but garage was not informed so didn't know I was booked or if the tyres had arrived so had to wait. Luckily they found the tyres and they checked the tracking for free but I was there about 2 hours. The postcode sent me around 5 miles away from the fitting centre and I had difficulty trying to contact them, went through the online booking agent eventually.

A. M.

Derby Centre. Great professional service. No charge for fitting new rear brake bulbs even though the back of my Zafira was full of football coaching equipment. Only slight downer was no drink machine in waiting area but not worth marking down for. Will return for future work.

A. H.

Offer good value for money but every time I go there is an issue and I'm told 'the manager has just left' so there's been at least 3 managers in the last 18months!

D. N.

Excellent service. Very easy to book online. Helpful and polite staff and called me back as soon as the car was ready. Competitively priced too.

W. J.

Excellent, came for a tyre repair and the gentleman carrying out the repair showed my young son every stage of the process as he was interested. Service over & above what you would expect.

M. f.

Mot at half price, bit sceptical, but thought why not. Needn't have worried, staff were excellent and polite. Waiting room lovely and warm. Bonus car passed first time, would recommend.

P. M.

Spot on service and very friendly and efficient staff. They know what they are doing and they look after your car as if it were their own.

J. W.

These guys are ok, however, the Long Eaton branch doesn't honour their price promise, for the 2nd time now we were told they couldn't match another local suppliers price, this time on tyres. To be fair to them though, if you email F1 head office to complain they do honour their price promise, but you shouldn't have to do that. Also, if you have a Ford Edge don't ask them to carry out wheel alignment as it doesn't exist on their system.

P. J.

Amazing experience. Had a leaking valve. Problem sorted on a Saturday afternoon without an appointment in 15 minutes. And not charged for it because "it's a Bank Holiday weekend".

B. M.

Excellent service. Needed to collect a replacement TPS sensor from BMW. A temporary valve was fitted and then the replacement was fitted FOC a few days later. Keiran was really helpful and kept me well informed. Thanks.

S. A.

We came and had 2 tyres changed and a free summer check and they replaced a bulb for free also. Definitely will be back thank you

J. T.

Had already booked in online so 2 new tyres were fitted and balanced within 25 mins, so well pleased. Would use again very good prices when bought on line.

B. A.

Good service, cost communicated correctly and Mot was done at a discounted price as part of an offer they were running. Waiting area too for customers to wait while work being done. Thanks

R. L.

Great service. Timely and accommodated my request at very short notice. Highly appreciate your help.

J. R.

Great ethics, couldn't sort it so didn't charge for diagnosis. Wlll definitely be making them my 1st port of call.

C. C.

The Team at Formula One were friendly and efficient. They were also the cheapest place for my Pilot Sport 3 tyre. I am due to return in November for next tyre that needs doing. I would definitely recommend them to friends and family.

J. R.

Found this branch the perfect place for wheel alignment as i have tried many other places but didn't get the perfect job. I am a car enthusiast so a perfect steering feel is very important to me. I nearly hated my car because it wasn't handling the it should but now it is all solved and im back in love with my car. I would highly recommend this place for wheels alignment. From Javid Chapkaar ( a car guy ) lol but note.. i would not use burton branch.. as once I took my car there to check the wheel alignment.. one of their guys just lifted it up and dropped it down said its done!? I was watching him he did not touch anything under the car

M. R.

Love these guys. Really helpful, friendly and absolutely never felt that all too familiar patronising tone because I'm a women. Would recommend them to anyone.

T. B.

I use these guys for a few bits and pieces and the pricing and service is always very good. They have got me out of a few pickles in the past and that level of service is greatly appreciated.

R. M.

First class service.. we went 1 day before the appointment was booked by mistake but these guy sorted our tyres there and then.. very professional and the best price. Will be having the other 2 tyres changed soon..thanks

S. J.

Easy booking process, good price for 1 tyre and quick service. Friendly service. Will be back when my next tyres need changing.

t. d.

Very simple system for ordering and payment online, turn up twenty minutes later back on the road with two new tyres and not a lot out of the wallet. Trev

S. H.

Great garage. Really friendly staff and did the work a lot quicker than expected. Been here a couple of times now and will definitely be going for all my car needs

r. s.

D. H.

Excellent service. The duty manager went out of his way to help. Definitely recommend

G. M.

First class service. Mechanic fully explained any issues observed with advice and did an excellent job of replacing the tyres and tracking adjustments.

L. a. d. A.

Got my car Ac charged then in a week not working I was told they do not check for leak they just charge which was odd as this would reflect on pressure while been charged End to do it again at another garage so paid twice .

N. F.

Good price and very accommodating around changing appointment to suit me. Once there changed both tyres in about 20 mins. Top service.
