HiQ Tyres & Autocare

HiQ Tyres & Autocare: tyres and maintenance at local garages

HiQ Tyres & Autocare is a UK automotive garage network operating under a franchise model. Its activity combines online tyre sales with fitting at the customer's local centre, alongside a wide range of vehicle maintenance, inspection and repair services. The company presents itself as a local alternative to the large chains, with locally managed garages backed by a central structure.

Tyres: brands, sizes and vehicles covered

The catalogue allows you to search for tyres by registration number or by fitment sizes (width, profile, rim diameter, load index and speed rating). Among the brands shown on the website are Goodyear, Michelin, Pirelli, Continental, Bridgestone, Yokohama, Hankook, Falken, GT Radial, Nexen and Cooper. The range is organised by tyre type — summer, all-season, winter, run-flat and SUV — and by vehicle manufacturer, with references to BMW, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volkswagen, Audi, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Nissan, Mini, Lexus, Toyota, Kia, SEAT, Peugeot and Honda, among others.

The company states that it can also source original equipment (OE) tyres for luxury and supercar brands such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Maserati, Rolls-Royce and Aston Martin, although these orders require a special request. Goodyear is listed as a certified partner and the website advertises a free accidental damage warranty on Goodyear and Cooper tyres, presented as exclusive to HiQ.

MOT and maintenance services

The MOT section includes classes 1 and 2, 4, 5 and 7, covering everything from motorcycles to light commercial vehicles. Booking can be combined with different service levels: from oil and filter change to full service or major service. The maintenance offering is structured in four levels — oil and filter change, interim service, full service and major service — with the full service described as a 53-point check covering fluids, brake discs and pads, and the major service extended to include fuel filter and spark plugs. Specific services for hybrid and electric vehicles are also available, as well as manufacturer-approved servicing.

Repair, diagnostics and vehicle care

The network offers replacement and fitting of components such as batteries, brakes, trim, bulbs and wipers, clutches, exhausts, shock absorbers, suspension and steering. In the diagnostics and treatment area, the website lists computer diagnostics, AdBlue top-up, carbon cleaning, seized injector removal, petrol and diesel treatments, diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning, headlight cleaning and engine flush. Also included are air conditioning recharge and service, antibacterial treatment and cabin disinfection, body repair, dent removal, valeting and engine remapping.

Tyre and geometry services

Within the tyre area, two- and four-wheel alignment, tyre pressure monitoring system service, tyre storage and alloy wheel refurbishment are offered. The website also groups together free tools useful for drivers: MOT due date reminder, certificate printing, inspection history lookup and calculation of optimal tyre pressures from the registration number.

Franchise structure and presence

HiQ operates with local centres integrated into a national network, with a head office that channels customer service and franchisee support. The company maintains a corporate section with information on the franchise model, fleet services (HiQ Fleet Services) and its Project Pink initiative. Its website publishes informative content on tyres, road safety and maintenance, and the firm presents itself as a certified Goodyear partner with ratings on Trustpilot.
