F1autocentres {F74}

One word… terrible, literally in every way. Prior to ordering my tyres on tyreleader I contacted F1 auto centres to obtain a price for fitting. I was quoted nearly £100 for 4 tyres which I thought was a little steep. However after ending the call I was contacted back a short time later stating they had got the price wrong and it was £60 for four tyres. I agreed to this more reasonable price. I ordered my tyres… Once I placed my order I contacted F1 to let them know and provide my contact details for when they arrived. I was told no details needed to be taken as they would all be on the system when the tyres arrived. No one took my number. After placing my order my tyres were delivered a couple of days later to F1. I know this as I had a tracking number. No one contacted me whatsoever. I contacted F1 a couple of days later to confirm the tyres had arrived. I was told they had but they couldn’t contact me as they didn’t have my number (facepalm) anyhow. I was advised there was space at 3pm that afternoon to have my tyres fitted. Which I agreed to. I arrived at the garage at 3pm and it was quite busy. I was told to hang fire outside in the car and I would be on for fitting shortly. After sitting in the car for around 2 hours. I was then told there wasn’t enough time to fit my tyres and would have to come back tomorrow. I was offered half price fitting for the inconvenience. I attended the following morning at 9am for fitting as asked by the staff the previous day. I then sat there for another hour until 10am and the tyres were fitted. Then. I got to the till to pay for the tyres. £60 quoted. Half price fitting. Should be £30. Manager states it’s £90 odd quid for fitting. I explain all of the above. Manager huffs and puffs and says best price he can do is the original £60. He won’t go any cheaper. Staff from the previous day have to come to my assistance. There’s then a heated debate amongst staff about what I’m paying. After 30 mins of going round the houses. I pay my £30 and off I go. Over 4 hours in total to fit four tyres along with two trips to F1 auto centres. The waiting area is dirty to say the least. Ripped chairs, TV with no signal. Bin full of rubbish and flies. Toilet disgusting, dirt all down the walls. Place is falling apart. Dread to think the last time any of it was cleaned. Ultimately my tyres are fitted and balanced. No issues there I will never use them again due to all of the other issues. Use your local Indy garage. Don’t be drawn in by a parent cheap prices. 1/10 service and that’s being generous.
