HiQ emerges as one of the UK’s fastest-growing autocentre networks

HiQ Tyres & Autocare was one of the fastest-growing retailers in the sector over the past year, growing its network from 169 to 190 centres in just 12 months, marking a significant upward trajectory in the automotive aftermarket.

This growth propelled HiQ up to fourth position from sixth in Tyres & Accessories’ Retail Rankings. Editor Chris Anthony noted that this impressive growth was fuelled by franchise commitment, stating: “HiQ has shot up to fourth position from sixth position in last year’s table by, in addition to working with its existing franchisees, rolling out the HiQ network into synergies with vehicle dealerships and other existing automotive businesses.”

For tyre dealers, garages, and car retailers, this expansion demonstrates the confidence and viability of the HiQ franchise model, supported by Goodyear. Franchises benefit from several advantages:

  • Support and scale: Access to parent company resources combined with local business responsiveness.
  • Proven business model: Established operational systems, national marketing, training, and standards.
  • Growth potential: The network is actively expanding, outpacing rivals in branch growth.

Craig Sprigmore, Goodyear Retail Director UK & Ireland, explained the benefits: “As an independent, it may struggle with brand recognition, marketing scale, supply chain costs and attracting trust for high value services… But as a HiQ franchisee, it can plug into a globally supported network, get access to marketing, systems, training and tyre supply leverage, plus the momentum of new branches launching nearby, raising the brand visibility in its region.”

Franchisees benefit from nationwide buying power, logistics, marketing capabilities, and the Goodyear group’s credibility. For those considering a franchise, this support helps reduce risks tied to brand reputation, supply chain, and technical standards.
