I have sent all my proof to VOSA and am curently seeking advice on how to sue these people ! Be AWARE !

I had twice MOT test in this "garage". That place should be re-named for rip off autocentre. First time My car fail on some brakes issues- they told me that I need to replace brake caliper. But the funniest is that staff member (that from MOT somar or sumar) said when he took apart brakes he cannot put back caliper bolt after removal(which is riddicolous because you could put it back) and charged me for a replace 220 pounds. I though ok done. Year after on MOT test again fail on the same thing and they tried to charge me 250 quid! I took car to a Manor Garage in Speedwell, Bristol for free brake check.(I didnt say anything about MOT failure) After hourI have been told everything is all right with brakes. Then I have decided to told about that F1 rip offers and I suffered schock! That caliper (replaced last year and failed this year) was original- they didnt change it or if they done it, they replace for a original used part. So I have paid for nothing!!! When I came back for MOT retest and showed that brake check form and all passed they try defend themselved that theirs brake check rolls must been broken or imbalanced and that causing brake issue!  PEOPLE AWARE!!!

I booked my car in for a MOT Test recently at F1 Autocentres Bristol(Days Road) and the service was absolutely appalling. They lure you with cheap MOTs and then try to get you to pay for unnecessary repairs at inflated prices. The staff (Craig and Sorbas) have no idea of customer service and are con artists. Don't fall for their scare tactics and always get a second opinion from another garage. In my case, they became increasing rude and hostile when I told them that I would be getting my car repaired by another garage and also threatened to fail my car in the re-test if the repairs were not done to 'their standards'. I was also made to wait for an hour beyond my appointment time before they even looked at my car just because they could! I was quoted around £400 to fix the MOT failures after the test by F1 Autocentres Bristol, but eventually got everything fixed for less than £80 by another garage and passed the re-test. Some of the items(brake discs, pads,etc.) quoted by the F1 cowboys didn't even need replacing! Utterly pathetic sad bunch of spanners running the F1 Autocentres Bristol branch! Avoid at all costs.

Terrible experience. Hours and hours of waiting. Incorrect parts ordering. Staff not knowing how to do the work. Incorrect information. Nightmare. Job incorrectly completed had to take car back. And again. Third time - broken plastic covers and parts falling off doors - 'its our word against yours'. Legal advices was that in fact it was theirs vs trading standards. Terrible. I would never ever spend a four figure sum with these people again. What did I like - promises when I handed the car over for repair.

Formula One Autocentres - Good review about Bristol Depot. Just wanted to pass on my thanks to the guys at your Bristol (Days Rd) branch. I had an MOT and rear shocks done on an 89 Escort RST and must say the job all round was very good including the price for the work.

I guess I could get an MOT and work done anywhere but they knew a lot about my 21 year old car which impressed me. The staff who I dealt with were friendly and answered all my question and even had the patience to answer and explain to me what they were doing whilst carrying out the work and seemed keen to do so.

This is exactly what I want when I take my beloved car to a garage and I shall be going there again for sure.

I hope you will take the time to pass on my thanks and that the management team are aware of your outstanding branch."
