Rang up late afternoon on Sunday as had a puncture and Rich and Womble sorted it out for me. Really appreciate them squeezing it in last minute and very polite and helpful. Thanks :)

I’ve these their services a few times now and I am never disappointed. They are ever so helpful, offer great advice, fair prices, don’t ever try to get you to spend more, don’t even charge if there is no work to be done, or a simple fix. I couldn’t recommend more. Absolute legends.

Had a mild panic when I saw warning lights!

Had a mild panic when warning lights re my tyres came on my dashboard. Drove round the corner to Formula One. The guys there were reassuring, professional and speedy in finding the nail in my tyre. Repaired the puncture and had me back one the road. Excellent service.

Highly Recommended - 5 Stars

I am a regular customer and have found the Cambridge branch to be very helpful and fairly priced over the years. I recently had a puncture and they quickly fixed it for no cost all, great customer service. I shall definately be returning, there are plenty of other rip off garages around but definatly not this one.

Great service in an emergency

We were going away in the caravan for a week. Did a check of tyre pressures on the car and the rear only had 10psi. A quick check revealed a nail in the mid section of the tyre. A phone call to the guys at Formula one and it was like an F1 pit stop. In, wheel off, repaired and out again in the blink of an eye. Thanks guys, holiday back on.

Visited after hitting 3 very large potholes and was worried I had damaged either a tyre or alloy. The staff were very polite, efficient and kept me in the loop while carrying out an inspection of all 4 wheels. I would highly recommend.

Staff at Formula One are fantastic

Staff at Formula One are fantastic. The chaps there on a Sunday morning are knowledgeable, fast-working and always happy to have a reassuring chat about work needed and expense. I woudn't take my car anywhere else.
