"Do not give this company a penny "

Recently saw a truck for sale we liked on their website. Hadn't done much research on this crowd and so wish we had. If we had seen the terrible reviews this place has and how they seem to be a bunch of con artists we wouldn't have parted with a penny. Unfortunately we put down a £500 deposit, what a mistake that was. After doing some research on both the vehicle and the reviews we lost faith in the company and decided we wouldn't go ahead with the sale. We didn't sign any paperwork with them or have a contract in place so should have been entitled to a refund as per their terms and conditions. They would not give us a refund, instead offering a credit note to purchase a different vehicle. After chasing them for our refund, contact ceased with them. They refused to answer our calls or emails. We eventually pursued a refund through our bank instead and are glad we have a great bank. After already having placed a £500 deposit, we found that by clicking the "Reserve" button, this would reveal the vehicle reg number and upon checking, we discovered that the vehicle had not had an MOT since 2021. This tied in with a lot of others reviews mentioning that Formula One Car Supermarket has a lot of inventory that looks like it has just been sat there in their forecourt for who knows how long. Formula One Car Supermarket has recently updated their website so the ability to check the vehicle reg is no longer possible. It doesn't take much searching on Facebook to show what children you are dealing with. Multiple videos available for public viewing of them 'pranking' each other in the office. Perhaps this is what occupies their time instead of answering calls or emails. We would advise anyone looking for a new vehicle to AVOID this bunch of CON ARTISTS. If you do go ahead with a sale please, please check the registration of the cars before hand and on your head be it.

"Stay away from this dealer"

I purchased a 7-seater from this dealership at an inflated price because I needed it urgently. Gran, the salesman, persuaded me into this car despite its strong smell. I was only allowed to test drive only one car despite my request to try another. Although promised a buyback option, they never followed through despite calling them several times. The car developed multiple issues within a year, costing me a significant amount in repairs. When I tried to return it before the warranty expired, they brushed me off. Overall, a disappointing experience. I advise looking elsewhere, as there are better dealerships in Edinburgh.

We bought a Range Rover Sport from George at the Camelon branch in Dec 23. The car looked fantastic, and was fantastic for the first week or so. It turns out the car, which cost £22k, has £5k of serious issues with it. George advised us not to use the handbrake all the time when we picked it up. It turned out the handbrake was just about to fail, which is why he said this. The garage have refused to fix anything with the car, for which I have given then one last opportunity. Failing that it is off to court. I will never use this garage again, and would advise anyone to AVOID at all costs.

Told car had a service and MOT before pick up. Drive away and before I got home I heard scraping/screechy noises whilst driving. Only stopped when pushing brakes. Had other big issues after. Turns out it failed MOT day before. Refuse to give me my money back. Legal action is next.

Got my first car from them. Was kept upto date with everything and then I picked it up. The car was immaculate inside and outside, it was gleaming. George answered all my questions and was so helpful and courteous. Would buy another car from them and would highly recommend them. So professional and I love the car.

We bought two cars from the high Station branch. Grant was helpful without being pushy and made sure the cars were ready to go as soon as possible. Great service.

I have purchased 5 cars from formula one (the 5th one in Feb 2023). I've been really happy with the cars and service these guys have provided and was shocked to read some of the negative comments/reviews they have received. I feel I have always been treated fairly, except once when I was just out with my warranty period when I had a problem. They still took my car in and fixed it, but charged me a trade price (hence the reason I still deal with them and it was a trade price as I got a quote from another garage). I have recommended them to my family and friends and a few of them have bought off formula one and they have been relatively happy. See you in the future

I just purchased my car three weeks ago from formula one and i'm loving it. I had a small issue with the car as my radiator started leaking water. I booked it in with them and they gave me a free car to use while it was in. The car was fixed within 3 days as they had to order parts but I was just happy they fixed it as it was not leaking when I got the car. I was still in my warranty period right enough. Shout out to Boyd for looking after me. See you in a few years when im looking to change.
