Reviews of Formula One Autocentres - Peterborough

a. S.

Needed tracking doing on a car I'd just brought. Fitted me in on a Saturday afternoon and they were busy explained what they were doing and the price was good also very happy customer

L. G.

Went in for a 4 wheel alignment and check. The steering wheel was still sitting off centre and the gentleman who was looking at the car went above and beyond to make sure the car was safe and drivable and doing more than required within a small amount of time while I waited. Would highly recommend. Great service throughout. 👏

S. A.

Visited to get 2 new tyres 4th June 22, found the prices quite reasonable but the staff are exemplary. I also need a new stop start battery and got a free health check for existing battery. Gives me a good understanding how much life is left in the one I already have and how much I meed to set aside as they aren't cheap Total respect and appreciation for helping last week.

H. S.

Tyre change ordered and booked online. Great service and good price. Website also details tyre efficiency - fuel/weather.

P. B.

Generally very good prompt service. It wasn't immediately obvious where to park on arrival and some refreshment in the waiting area would have been nice.

A. R.

Formula One autocentre were the cheapest priced for the Pirelli tyre I had replaced. They checked the tyre pressures on all tyres and reset the cars pressure warning system. Quick and efficient service. Faultless.

A. H.

Turned up no appointment, Daniel and Bob managed to get me straight in find my problem fix it and get me on my way. Excellent service and amazing customer service.

C. L.

I did MOT with F1autocentre Peterborough. It passed but i have to mention that I had LPG conversion and MOT tester did not know following rule mention in MOT test manual. "Vehicles which run on more than one fuel, such as petrol and LPG, should be tested on the fuel they are running on when presented." tester ask me to switch off GSS and tested under petrol. Otherwise customer service is great.

D. P.

Very good service, quick and well done. No pushy up selling either which is nice And very nice friendly staff

S. W.

Good service as usual at a great price. Was disappointed to be told I couldn’t have the alignment printout as they needed it for there records and were not printing two copies anymore to save paper. It should be the customers choice if they would like the alignment printout, I personally like to keep them with all the receipts for the car. Was told it was cost saving and told as everyone has a smartphone I could just take a picture of the printout.

L. N.

Excellent service, great communication and friendly staff. Will definitely use again. Update 21/7 - I've used Formula One again this past week and it has been the same outstanding service I have always previously received.

A. S.

I was later than expected due to major traffic jam about a mile from the supplier, but I was welcomed appropriately, as they had a delay in starting the MOT on my vehicle. Naturally I was later than expected finishing. Staff were polite and did the necessary tests and admin as expected. I enquired about help with transport home should I purchase a service. This is not an option at this Formula 1 so you will need transport and to leave your car for the day if you want it serviced. Worth knowing.

S. T.

Nicest staff ever. Quick service. Helpful. Good price. I called them up, they fitted me in the day after. Told me about the issue with my car. Apologised profusely for not having the part or being able to get it same day. And booked me in for the following day to repair it. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would!

n.

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices and quick service.

E. J.

I'm fairly new to the area and I think it can be a struggle to find a garage you trust. The team here are exceptional! I can't fault them! Excellent, polite and prompt service with reasonable prices every time. I won't go anywhere else. And Tom is lovely to deal with too! Can't recommend them enough!

e. s.

Really helpful when we phoned up to book an appointment and check they had stock. Got there and a nice gentleman behind the desk, unfortunately my booking wasnt showing on the system. But that was not a problem, i was waiting 10-15mins for two tyres, super quick. Would definitely recommend 👌

t.

Had 4 tyres fitted, was a good experience and was in and out within 30 minutes I should think. Apart from the price of 4 new Michelin tyres can well recommend F1 Autocentre, met with happy smile and made to feel at home.

a. p.

Massive thanks to the chaps at Peterborough formula 1 auto CTR. Professional, dedicated , helpful & cheerful staff. Good service all round & great price. Very grateful.

C. L.

They got me straight in today for new brake pads and discs on my car and were honest straight away that they may not be able to help due to my car having an electric handbrake, but everything was fixed perfectly!

J. L.

fast service, on time, relatively cheap MOT after summer discount

G. S.

Excellent service and friendly staff will happily use them again

a. u.

as usual f1 seem to be best on price, have used f1 for quite a few years now and never a problem so why chance someone else with pride and joy...

R. L.

Easy on line ordering but would prefer to be able to book a time rather than just am or pm. First visit had to leave and return later as there was a 2.5 hour wait. Agreed a time to return and only one vehicle in front of mine but took over 1.5 hours just to get 2 tyres fitted!!

l.

Good service Done exactly what was needed Good price

J. W.

Very professional. Had doubts concerning information from an Audi garage on the condition of the tyres. Formula 1 did not just tell me, they showed me and were able to explain without lingo and jargon. Very down to earth, very careful with the wheels as they were unmarked going in and unmarked after fitting. Hugely impressed and a very professional, curtious & friendly service, despite not supplying tyres, fitment only. So not alot of money to the garage. Would recommend.

M. B.

Great place, I'm doing MOT every year here with two cars, I'm always happy with their service. Highly recommended

V. E.

I've been going to F1 fin Peterborough for years now and can honestly say the service gets better each time. Booking online couldn't be easier, car was was done at the promised time and ready for collection sooner rather than later. The staff are courteous and friendly and they make maintaining a car simple and straightforward. never hidden expenses. Thank you to all.

B. K.

The team was very professional and were on time. Kept me informed. Did a master service for my BMW and I am happy with the experience.

C. H.

These guys are great! Sorted out my Air-Con and saved me a fortune (£1,095 to be precise). Fixed the issue, and only did the work that was needed doing. Would Highly recommend. Two months on, and the Air-Con is still working fine (could not have cope without it in this heat). Previously took my car to a garage near Premier Kitchen in Hampton for Re-gas (it didn't work), and told me that the compressor was not working. Days later, gave me a quote of £1,175 to replace the compressor and re-gas + labour. Went to Formula One Autocentres for a second opinion. They fixed the issue (replaced a small valve) and re-gased it for under £80. Now my Air-Con is working fine, without the need to replace the compressor at all. 😊👍

e.

Booked and paid for MOT via their website but it took my PayPal payment without taking contact details and also no booking confirmation. Have written a complaint email however it did actually book the appointment and MOT was carried out successfully so would recommend this company 😀

P.

Superb. Ordered tyre. Booked slot. Tyre done in less than an hour. Drove away happy. Staff were very good. Seating area was pandemic compliant. All in all a good experience.

t.

I had 4 new tyres on my Zafira today. Dealt with Tom the manager who was great. The price was competitive and the service excellent. Free alignment check, and was told it was fine and no adjustment necessary. I thought this was excellent and honest of them. Definitely recommend and I will use them again. Very pleased. Tony.

P. T.

Good staff who genuinely want to provide a great service. I have got my care tyres changed here multiple times, never beaten on price! Got my car serviced here a few weeks ago and feels so much better to drive. They have done a great job at a competitive price. Keep it up F-One Autocentre!

N. E.

Had my MOT done there recently, knew my car is in perfect condition. On the actual test they failed me for a non functional bulb in one of the headlights which seemed very strange to me as my car alerts me of any failed bulbs and I had no errors on my dash that morning. I asked to check the car myself and showed them they were all working and there are no errors. Eventually, they took the car back in the garage and passed it. This adventure took about 2 hours overall.

M.

Very helpful friend guys. The price was that good I bought 4 tyres! £468 £80 cheaper than black circle tyres!! Thank you..

N. K.

Very polite staff, did all repair's in one day, same day drove the car home happy

T. C.

Price promise means they guarantee to beat any genuine quote. Recently had 2 tyres fitted at an excellent price. The service was quick and efficient. The manager, Phil, was polite, highly professional and efficient. It makes a nice change to get such good service these days.

A. H.

Great value for money and both tyres were fitted within 30 mins! Great staff and the coffee was pretty good too :) Only slight issue was the wheel alignment test that came as a surprise! Felt odd paying another £45 + VAT when I've just paid £230 for two tyres.

D. B.

Booked slot online, when tyres purchased, arrived, very busy and told 'we do not do timed appointments '?? Not sure why their own website does..... eventually started after waiting over 90 minutes, work was done efficiently and reasonably quickly, a further 40 minutes for 2 tyres and a winter check. Happy with service and politeness of staff. I must be unlucky with my timing as by the time I left nearly 2 1/2 hours later it was only half full of cars. Need to sort website as offers slots which they do not work to........ price good service ok.

D. H.

John and the team very helpful. Free wheel alignment check before having any work carried out is a brilliant service to offer. No hesitation recommending this branch of Formula One.

S. F.

It's ok. Does what it says on the tin. Staff friendly, prices ok. Not much has changed since last review.

D. C.

Had Dunlop tyres fitted, they were even cheaper than Black Circles and Tyreshopper. Dropped the car off and they called me when ready. I was waiting to be served by reception as they were dealing with another customer and a technician asked if I was being served as he walked past. I thought that showed great customer awareness and a nice touch. All in all a great service that I would recommend

M. A.

Having booked a fitting time online I expected to be dealt with promptly at the depot rather than on a first come first served basis with those who were not prebooked. I arrived more than the requested ten minutes prior to my appointment and then had to wait for more than 3/4 hour before the fitting of the ordered tyres. I was not the only customer kept waiting having made a prebooked time. Whilst the price was competitive one should not be asked to book a time for fitting unless it can be stood by.

G. M.

Ordered 2 new tyres online and confirmed morning appointment. On the day, tyres fitted and balanced took about an hour. Excellent heated waiting room with nice seats and television. Friendly helpful staff. A*

J. L.

Third visit and third exceptional experience. Staff friendly and manager goes above and beyond. Don't label this garage with the crap reputation of Kwik fit and others. I trust them and will be back again - always good value. Thank you

b. s.

I was standing at reception for 5 mins until I called someone, a bell in reception will be helpful... man at reception was so helpful and friendly and my MOT was done proficiently. Customer waiting room area was clean and spacious with TV, there was a coffee machine in reception but not sure if drinks were free as no sign to say and was not located where customers were sitting which was a shame. Will definetly recommend the call company.

R. G.

These guy's have done the work on my 18 year old Golf for ages, Top service, low prices always honest, had my first reason to give some not postive feedback today (nothing major) Unlike other companies they listened to my fair point and did something about it! Well done Ricky top customer service fair and honest! Keep up the good work guys!

J. B.

Second time using them and only to have 1 tyre fitted. Both times I haven't had any issues with them. Got the car done quickly and all the guys were polite. Will use them again.

F. P.

easy to do order on line took only minutes

G. T.

MOT this time, but always receive excellent customer service with fair prices. I've used F1 for major and minor services, tyres, brake pads and wheel alignment. They're always busy so I book in advance on line.

N. S.

My first MOT as an owner of a car and they were really honest about what needed to be done and how to go about getting it fixed and I know they would have fixed it at competitive rates and service if they could. Taking it back for a re-test next week as part of the initial MOT and service.

P. D.

I had ordered the tyre on-line. I was first in the queue that morning, the tyre was fitted and they checked the tracking which I already knew was out. They recommended it be adjusted and they gave me a discount as I had purchased a tyre. You cant argue with the service despite the renovation that was going on and the need for a temporary office.

D. D.

Always use f1. Guaranteed honest service. Will never try and say you need work doing that is not needed,unlike other garages I've used the past. Keep up the good work guys and thank you for keeping the NHS on the road in these difficult times.

C. T.

Great service. Bang on time and generally very happy. Have been going here for several years now for MOT and tyres and never a bad experience, would recommend to anyone.

M. V.

Absolutely no complaints from me. Easy to book an appointment, was seen to on time, staff were very friendly and approachable, waiting area was comfortable. Would not hesitate to recommend and will definitely use again.

c. s.

I've been an infrequent customer for a few years now but have always had very good service. The managers have always said if some work cannot be carried out because of an underlying problem. I recently when in to have some reballancing done after the tyres were about half worn, but because there was uneven wear on the treads they advised me that there was no point in doing it. They did not charge me for their time and effort or even suggest I buy new ones. They simply said that I would no doubt try and make them last a bit longer! That is what I'm doing now but will definitely return when I do need to replace them. chris peterborough

L. H.

Purchased the tyre on line. Turned up early to have fitted on the loose wheel. Very busy, waited over an Hour which was excessive I thought. Work shop controller apologised stating overly busy. Comfortable waiting area made it a little less painful. Overall a fair experience for the first time using the outlet.

s. s.

Booked in for two tyres to be replaced, all done and check, good customer service

D. B.

Fantastic service. Replaced my brake discs and pads at very short notice and while I waited.

A. M. (. K. M.

Visited the Formula One Autocenter and got my brakes checked. This is quite a good garage with good analysis of the current situation and recommendations. I plan on giving them a visit again.

A. B.

MOT with winter health check. Very happy with the service I get and I am a repeat customer. A tyre was found to be defective and replaced with same make at a won't be beaten on price match.

B. H.

Prompt and professional. From Tom on the service desk to the speed at which my car was sorted. Definitely recommend the Peterborough workshop.

R. W.

Good price on tyre but cost of tracking was outrageous and not explained clearly as I assumed the approx £80 cost included the tyre, but no as I'd already paid for that. Felt like a con trick

C. L. (.

A good choice for tyres, servicing and MOTs. They are helpful, reasonably priced and operate on Saturdays. They are also within walking distance of the town centre if you have a long job and don't fancy waiting there

K. B.

Very professional 1st class service and very friendly

W. T.

Good, kept me updated on my car, not a criticism of the site but maybe over the report that the customer gets doesn't show any defects or any recommendations for future service. Other than that very good.

G. S.

Good website with clear easy order process and very competitive prices.

G. H.

Turned up at 832 to get 2 tyres fitted, done by 915. Only criticism would be that the reception man was a bit happier in his job or exuded some sort of enthusiasm...

r. 2.

All good tyre replacement done withing 10 minutes explained about costing etc but all sorted

J. C.

Sorted out tyre on the Bank holiday. Swift professional service.

A. x.

THANK YOU for keeping my old car on the road! With the assurance that its had a thorough check. Would recommend!

D. S.

Great service, made to feel welcomed and fixed my puncture at a really fantastic price. I would highly recommend!!!

k. b.

Tom took time to explain to me exactly what my car needed. A* service as usual. Highly recommend

E. J.

Tried them yesterday with voucher for MoT. Polite friendly staff, carefully explained upcoming points needing attention (tyres legal but recommended replacement with forthcoming winter). I'll go back for those tyres.

S. S.

Good customer service. But advisable to book a slot as it is very busy most of the time. No slots available on Saturday though so you have to be lucky enough to get work done within reasonable time.

M. R.

Really good experience there. Just bought my car (Modus) for a really good price so I was expecting to find out hidden flaws or a lot of repairs to do but everything went all right and they took time to give me advice on what to do or check up regularly in order to pass next year Mot as well.

J. N.

Super service at very reasonable prices! Nice relaxed atmosphere and the ability to watch what was going on during the tyre changes.Nice comfortable seating, reading material and coffee machine.Will certainly use again for other services.

Y. B.

Excellent pricing and service. Staff are friendly and honest and don't try to sell you things you don't need. As a family we always return with both our cars.

D. N.

Tyres were replaced promptly at a good price. They were very easy to deal with and I will use them again

B. A.

Messed me up twice when I made the booking. When I got to the garage my booking was not on the system. Irresponsible behaviour. Got in touch with the regional manager he sorted out the issues for me.

J. G.

Fantastic experience. Professional friendly people who get the job done at a reasonable rate. Wouldn't take my car anywhere else now!

E. J.

Booked a tyre change online. Good service was received only draw back was a 2hr wait for car to be done as you can only book in for an am or pm, not a time slot

N. K.

Very quick service and the part replaced will be always a good company products. Enough seats for the customers in their lounge with wifi and a tv.

D. B.

Only one word to describe my visit, from arriving to leaving Shane and his Staff were EXCELLANT. There were problems, which they helped to solve, nothing was too much trouble for them. One moan, make your Reception Area a No1 priority.

P. T.

Good price online for my somewhat specialised Michelin tyres (electric car) fitted Saturday morning inside an hour of my arrival.

D. R.

Very friendly and professional, great prices for service and repairs. Would recommend and will definitely use again.

J.

Good service, helpful staff. Would have given 5 star had they not forgotten to call me to collect my car after servicing but overall very pleased.

I. G.

Great prices always trusted. Took almost an hour to change 2 tyres. Would recommend.

M. B.

Great service. Friendly, Honest about my tyres as my other garage wasn't. Will definitely use them again!

e. m.

Dropped car off for re-gas air con, whilst went for a swim in local pool. Best £39 I have spent ! car is lovely & cold, staff very friendly.

A. B.

Good service. Got tyres sorted quick.

C. W.

A good quality visit, carried out a tyre change with no fuss. Still a great pity you cannot visit and sort with a person on site, and not via Internet

C. L. (.

All ways been fair and upfront about everything. Would not normally trust a chain but this garage has always been A1. Even spent time to show me my rear disks catching on and how to solve myself.

p. A.

Whilst they are called Formula One ...one hour and 20 minutes to change a tyre is a little on the long side, might have been even longer if they had to Jack up and remove it. Not good

T. D.

Good servicing and if you get the offers online sometimes, excellent value. My car still runs so they must be doing something good :O)

G. D.

Usual helpfull guys,only drawback was no Coffee machine working,Problem with oil filler cap so got new one next day went back so they could do oil change,good service.

t. r.

Booked tyres online for a Saturday pm fitting ,arrived at 2pm to be told there would be at least a 3hr waiting time .totally unacceptable arranged to come back on the Monday pm and to be fair they did a good job and was in and out in 1hr 10.great price but having to arrange two dates was very time consuming and wasteful

C. B.

Tyre fitter Jordan did an excellent job and informed me of the air pressure in the new tyres.

M. H.
