Formula One Autocentres - Telford in short
Formula One Autocentres at Haybridge Road, Hadley, is the Telford branch of the national chain covering tyres, MOT, servicing and air conditioning, with waiting-room comforts for drivers who stay. Air con services are advertised from £19, and a long company record sits behind the name. Free wi-fi, a television and customer toilets make waiting on site straightforward. Our view: a one-stop branch with concrete starting prices.
Customer reviews run to 825 Google reviews at 4.1, sitting with the lowest in the round. What counts against Formula One: that score trails the whole table, and no F-Gas company certificate is on the REFCOM register.
Our verdict
Our judgement: this branch suits you if you want air conditioning work folded into a visit for tyres, MOT or servicing, with starting prices in print [1]. Its 4.1 from 825 Google reviews sits below most firms in this round [2]. The missing F-Gas statement keeps it out of the assessed list.
