    Had MOT here which brought up replacement suspension arms needed. Booked back in straight away, work done and re-MOT'd for a very satisfactory price. Nice team - particularly Reece who explained everything in advance and then ran through exactly what he'd done when I picked it up. Would highly recommend.

    Front tyres needed replacing and they sourced them online. Did the job with no quibble and very reasonable priced. Even recommended the tracking alignments needed too. Also at reasonable price. Will definitely take the car back there for its MOT due soon.

    Our fan belt broke halfway through our journey, Reese and his crew immediately ordered a new one when it came unfortunately it couldn't be fixed straight away as one of the components had sheared off making it unusable, again Reece ordered the part immediately, he directed us to a great cafe and even helped us to find a hotel for the night as the part wasn't able to be delivered until the next day, he kept us in the loop at all times and as soon as the part arrived the guys started working to fix our car, a few hours later the car was fixed, all aspects of the job were explained thoroughly, the guys could not have been more helpful, they really went above and beyond to make the situation as stress free for us as possible. We are very grateful for all their help and assistance and would highly recommend their services to anyone who has problems with their vehicle. Many many thanks to the guys, they made a very stressful situation into a much easier situation to deal with and did a brilliant job.

    What a great honest bunch here. My tyre pressure light came on (car only 4mnths old); took it straight there, they looked at it , checked all my tyres over and pressure and found nothing wrong....no charge. It's the only garage my daughter will trust with her car too. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Emily 1 year ago on Google
    Wouldn’t take my car anywhere else. Turned up not knowing what was wrong but Jake looked after me and explained everything! So so nice, recommend to anyone!

  • 1/5 Brian W. 10 months ago on Google
    had a call from my 80 year old mother to tell me this place had charged her over £120 for a new tyre on her brand new car because they couldn't fix it as it had a screw in it and not a nail. then sent her away with the wrong tyre pressure in the tyre they had replaced

  • 5/5 Alan L. 1 year ago on Google
    As the company says, they won’t be beaten on price and Andy, the manager, didn’t disappoint when l wanted a couple of budget tyres. Not only that, the service in fitting them was excellent- l arrived, the vehicle was taken straight away and the tyres fitted in 20 mins. I’ve always gone there for tyres and shall do so again in the future. Well done, team!

    Very happy with my recent experience with FORMULA ONE WALKDEN. My car was making a knocking noise and I couldn’t pinpoint the issue, took my car in and spoke to Jake who very efficiently diagnosed the problem. Managed to order parts and fit me in a couple days later. Couldn’t be more grateful and very competitive prices. Thank you to Jake and all the staff, will definitely be recommending

  • 5/5 Alyssa H. 11 months ago on Google
    Always take my car here! I even travel over 30 minutes as they are the most honest and trustworthy garage I have been too. All the lads here (Jake & Shaun the ones who do my car) are so nice and will get my car in and sorted straight away. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Risha L. 10 months ago on Google
    Went in to have my wheels balanced but there was a problem with the lower wishbone Andy contacted me explained everything. They were able to fix this in a couple of hours with no fuss. Excellent value for the money Awesome customer service would highly recommend Thank you awesome

  • 5/5 Danny R. 1 year ago on Google
    Top place with great staff. Reece has been an absolute legend. Took in for MOT. Some repairs needed. Price was fine as my car needs specialist parts. One of the brake discs had manufacturer fault so they took car back and changed over no issues. Then I thought I had alignment issue - took it back and Reece told me one of the tyres was just down. My fault totally and they could have made a fuss about it but they were helpful and friendly the whole way through. Great bunch. Thanks so much and see you next year.

  • 1/5 Gavin G. 1 year ago on Google
    Booked in for MOT. Was delayed 6 minutes due to roadworks in the area. I don't know if it was this or if your representative of the company Mohamed (Tester) took offence to my time keeping and felt it necessary to be rude throughout or if he was just having a bad morning. Either way; This is not how you interact with your customers.

  • 5/5 Marlena k. 1 year ago on Google
    Great job from Reece. Its rare to find a good mechanic and I think we finally found one! F1 give the guy a raise, he deserves it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (26/08/22)

    Called in as I had a puncture whilst out working. Asked if do puncture repairs.told not on vans which I found strange.the first I've heard that .also my van isn't a commercial van,its lighter than most transits campers etc.they then said we don't have a jack.i said I have the jack and brace which came with the van so then i was told we don't have any power tools on site although my wheel nuts are tightened by hand and I have a brace.talk about given the brush off with everything suggested and resulted in me letting my elderly housebound customers down with their deliveries cos of the flat tyre .very dissapointed the fob off I got .I only gave 1 star cos I cant give none

    Avoid at all costs, had 4 new tyres through Black Circles fitted. Waited hours, then had the invoice of what these guys were getting paid for doing the work (nothing to do with me) waved at me. Drove down the East Lancs, wheels totally out of balance (suspect Saturday boy did balancing), went to another tyre place to have balanced correctly, they laughed at the amount of weights on the rims.

  • 5/5 Adam O. 2 years ago on Google
    The guys here are brilliant, nothing is too much trouble, very knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 sarah m. 3 years ago on Google
    Everyone is friendly, service is good, and much better prices than certain other places that apparently fit things 'kwik-ly'

  • 5/5 Geoff E. 3 years ago on Google
    Called in on off-chance after being let down by kwik fit again!!! I have a lease car and dropped a tyre off with puncture to be collected later, the unbelievably complicated authorization couldn't be completed on a Saturday but the lads there did the work for me anyway, absolutely above and beyond service and will use these whenever I can in the future, brilliant. Thank you

    Customers should be wary of work not carried out. Recently had two front tyres replaced , tracking and a puncture repaired to a rear tyre. On paying the bill I enquired what caused the puncture and was told ‘it was a nail straight thru the centre of the tyre. Shortly after I had left the garage my repaired tyre was flat again. I phoned to complain and was told to call 8.30am the next day! Luckily I have a 12v tyre inflator in my car. When the tyre was checked it transpired that the puncture was on the edge of the tyre and couldn’t be repaired so no repair was actually carried out. The repair cost £21 and I was told this would be deducted from the cost of the new tyre that was required as if I was getting some sort of discount! People should be aware also that prices quoted are before VAT is added. I have totally lost trust in this company and wonder whether the tracking was actually done either? I will not be giving them my custom again any time soon.

  • 5/5 Lindsay H. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a very flat run flat tyre on Friday evening and needed my car for the weekend. I rang around many garages on Friday, however there was only Karl at Formula One in Walkden who suggested he checked for a puncture before ordering a tyre. This was a 5.55pm on friday. I took the car in on Saturday morning and by 9.30 it had been fixed. Fantastic service. I would recommend this garage. Thank You Karl.
