very straightforward to order and book online. However, I would have preferred to have available calendar to be viewable earlier in the process. Good prices when compared to other local tyre centres

Had my MOT today and was a lot more wrong with my car than anticipated. Was guided through each step and helped with setting up the payment plan. Kindest staff, warm greeting and no judgement, imagining themselves in customers position to be able to help them better. Fantastic service and team, highly recommend and will be returning!

Booked a MOT with the Hertford branch…
Booked a MOT with the Hertford branch online and after making payment I received both the initial confirmation and pre appointment confirmation a few days prior.
When I turned up for the appointment I told in store that they have no knowledge of my booking and that there is nothing they can do. This was extremely frustrating as I had taken a half day from work.
With no plan to re arrange my appointment in the Hertford branch before the expiry of my current MOT they branch manager called me to try and assist with another branch. Having initially tried, the branch manager then went quiet and I never received a call back, which I then needed to action. His response, unfortunately was that there is nothing more we can do other than to offer a refund - This was not helpful to me as I was then left driving with an expired MOT and I was open to using an alternate F1 garage in a nearby area if they could arrange this - which they couldn’t!
I then rang the area/regional manager at the head office about this and was told he will call me back within 3 working days. It’s now been over 5 days and I have heard nothing back in regards to my complaint.
Overall staff helpfulness was poor, especially after their own error.
Would not recommend

Rang them today for aircon regas price which was £69 and said they won't be beaten on price i told them another local garage only charge £42 they said i need to get it written down. I told them if I ring the garage while I was their and press option 2 it tell's you its £42 again said i need to get it written down. I could have literally rang the other garage in front of you but you wasn't interested. £27 price difference so obviously not very competitive. This was in stafford which isn't on your list
