Kwik Fit is seeking to further expand its network and has appealed for roadside property where it can establish new workshops.
The fast fit business already has 600 locations across the UK and has now released a list of 24 towns and cities where it is currently seeking freehold or lease property but said that all urban areas with a population of 200,000 people or more would be considered.
Its requirements detail a 3,000sq-ft to 10,000sq-ft site within close proximity of supermarkets, fast food outlets or leisure facilities.
Kwik Fit recently announced the launch of a motoring maintenance subscription service pilot in the North West and Yorkshire, with a national roll out to follow this summer.

The new Kwik Fit Club subscription claims to help motorists spread the cost of service and maintenance costs throughout the year.
With Kwik Fit Club membership, drivers pay a monthly subscription which covers all their tyre wear, including repairs and premium tyre replacement, wheel alignment and six monthly health checks.
They also have the option to include their MOT and servicing costs.
Drivers can join the programme and keep track of their subscription through an app, and although they can nominate a ‘home garage’, their membership can be used at any of Kwik Fit’s 600-plus centres across the country.
Roger Griggs, communications director at Kwik Fit says: “The growth in demand for subscription services has been dramatic over recent years, particularly with younger consumers.
“Benefits of Kwik Fit Club include members getting regular free health checks on their car and having regular, predictable maintenance costs instead of one-off spikes.
“If you think about buying four new tyres, traditionally car owners would pay for them all in one go – with Kwik Fit Club the cost is spread over the life of tyres – drivers are paying for them as they use them.”
