My sister and I nipped in to look at the cars at the dealerships on the Glasgow road camelon.we drove in and parked in the only available space which happened to be on the formula 1 side of the road .so we decided to go to the dealership across from them first and just as we went over the road this big guy came out from formula 1 and demanded we move our car because we were going to a rival dealership! This guy seems to think he owns the access road into the place? and was very rude to my sister.we were going to look at there cars to but decided not to ,I think better manners would help them sell cars and we had a quick look at there stock through the fence and quite a few of them had flat tyres and were over priced.buy from these people at your pearl,not impressed.

I purchased a car from here and the next day the engine light came on. I had a month warranty but because I bought car outright they weren’t interested. I managed to get them to have a look at it and next day the light came back on. After that it was a nightmare trying to contact them!! Do you’re self a favour and avoid …especially the guy at high station road!

Excellent customer service from Peter not only in sourcing me the best finance option for me but his people skills were excellent. Kept me right with everything well worth the journey to Falkirk to collect my car. Would recommend Formula One to people looking for new / used car

Shambles of a business, dont know how they actual get away with there approach to selling used cars, we bought a car from here few months back and engine went on it. Contacted these guys to see if they would help with it as it was engine failure and like expected the aftercare was none-existant. Swept it off as "sorry its not under warranty" Clearly already knew that like was stated over the phone but a car bought within 4 months shouldnt have died on us like that. The good reviews on here are the ones that dodged the bullet on there game of russian roulette: used car edition. Wont ever be back :)

Richard F1CSM from Formula One Car Centre Limited in response to WOULDNT EVEN BUY A PEDAL BIKE FROM THERE

couldn't push the car onto us quick enough discovered faults within days, was back umpteen times, cut through part of the engine rather than strip it down properly now refusing to fix car going for an independent report next week will publish for all to see along with their emails and messages. seriously never met more incompetence all in the one place at the one time!!! also my car which I was getting rid of because of the amount of issues was on their forecourt within a week at a ridiculous price George actually told my husband that we were being picky about the damage they caused to the engine considering the car we traded in ......here's the difference George we didn't lie about the state of our car

I had to make over an hour drive to Falkirk to get this looked at so while me and my daughter where there, the sales guy was trying to put us away from the work shop, as they were taking a part of another car to put onto my car and did not want us to see him doing it although we new what he was up too. So the USB port was not working and i had asked him to fix that too, but instead of fixing it they also broke the heated seat switch too so i left with broken heated seat and USB still not working. Then the car had to go for a recall so they came collected it and dropped a car off i could not drive for the week, very unsuitable car must i add. So car went away to get fixed on the recall for the starter motor, i was advised very bog job could take days then found out it takes a few hours so i chased my car up and was advised they were collecting it now, i have it on good accord the car was ready on Monday night and i should have had it back before now, so i had a puncture the car has had this puncture since they dropped it off as i have to keep blowing it up, so go car back tonight and the USB still not working, The heated seat still not working and the tyre still deflating which i had been advised has been fixed, so i call him while my daughter is sat there listening and the sales guy is saying no our guys have fixed it i am advising im actually in the car and it has not, so he starts getting ratty with me tells me i need to take it back up regardless if i want this fixed mind this is over an hour drive each way, and he was not very polite about this, at all as my witness was there listening in dismay, If you want stress or a car thats falling apart go to this place, if you dont please avoid all the stress i have had to endure, i have given up now and i will have to go to an external garage to get this fixed as i have had enough, they nice enough taking your money but please stay away, i have bout many cars with a problem at all this has been summit different

I visited the Falkirk High branch to look at a Honda CRV which was for sale. To be truthful I was initially put off by the negative reviews online but decided to speak to Peter about this. He reassured me that the car would be perfect when I got it and anything that needed to be sorted would be. Give him his due, he kept to his word and I am a very happy customer. Peter was friendly, professional and patient and I am glad I didn't walk away. I addressed the concerns I had about the car before buying, and was realistic and knew it was a second hand car. My advice to any customer is to give this garage a chance, and you might be surprised.

"Just Another Punter"

I am not one for making complaints I normally just take it as a lesson learned and never deal with whatever business has done me wrong. Formula 1 Car Supermarket Falkirk I feel they deserve that I no longer take it on the chin and just go away with my tail between my legs. Purchased Audi Q5 for my wife once in a lifetime gift George the salesman as expected very pleasant cash purchase quick commission easy cash cow. Now I did actually leave negative feedback due to non existent aftercare due to just one issue with the car I only complained about just one of a few issues with the car, as it was a second hand car and I never expected it to be pristine. All the pre-delivery boxes were ticked a tick fest. Only thing I asked from them was to supply an owner’s manual, service manual Audio Manual just the basics so my wife would have some idea about the controls etc, waited weeks and never heard a thing so purchased a set on eBay. Then left negative feedback and within an hour of it being posted George was on the phone at the behest of Mr Boyd. George talked me into retracting it and I did after he assured me if I have any issues don’t hesitate to call him yeh whatever. Anyway however things I did not complain about were low oil level, had to purchase Oil, Add Blue complete set of wiper blades and 4 days after the purchase add blue warning light came on and today 22nd Dec after speaking with George and once again deja vu high pressure fuel pump leaking looking at £1000 bill engineer said been leaking for some time and my wife has only done 1100 miles with the car, Said he would see what he could do to help us and would call me on Friday 24th and yes as expected no call. High probability leaking when we purchased the car but unable to prove and obviously Formula 1 will stand by the tick fest on the pre delivery sheet. Moral of this story, Is this is a second hand dealership you get what you pay for also the warranty they will sell you is not worth the paper it is printed on. Called Momentum Warranties they would not cover the fuel pump loophole they used pre existing fault prior to purchase date ironic is it not. Mechanic flabbergasted as to how they came to that conclusion how can they possibly tell when it started to leak. Like most second hand dealers as soon as they have your cash they cant see the back of you quickly enough. Anything you want to buy suggest you get it inspected by the AA or RAC be money well spent if they refuse an Inspection walk away don’t take the pre delivery sheet Formula 1 supply as gospel like I did and let your heart rule the mind. Salesmen are not cowboys but just left with a feeling of not a human being just feel you are commission and nothing more just another punter and get the commission. As a client you are very quickly forgotten about. The amount of negative reports on this site gives me the impression they don’t seem to try and improve as they know clients will just keep coming thru the door… This is when you see the gap between a Car Dealership and a second hand dealer made to feel important and aftercare is way far better than a second hand dealer Maybe hear from George again now… But be wasting his time won’t be retracting this time… So Car Dealership for my next car ok be more expensive but probably include a 2 or 3 year warranty that they wont try and find a loophole to get out of any repairs unlike Momentum have and I am pretty sure the salesman will follow up on my purchase to ask how things are….

Mr Boyd from Formula One Car Centre Limited in response to Just Another Punter

Formula One Car Centre LTD always honour our warranty, what we will not tolerate are opportunist fairytale claims from people that think we are responsible for the maintenance on their used vehicle for the duration of ownership. **Owned used vehicle for 14 months. Done T-Belt after purchase at own workshop. Now car needs component & its been faulty since purchase.... F1 are this and that....*"
