HiQ Tyres & Autocare Portslade, located on William Street Trading Estate, is celebrating a thriving debut year, having rapidly become a trusted automotive service provider in the local community. The centre, part of the growing network of independent HiQ tyre and garage service centres across the UK, backed by global tyre giant Goodyear, has quickly established itself as a reliable destination for comprehensive vehicle care.
Since opening its doors in July 2023, HiQ Portslade has heavily invested in its premises, equipping the state-of-the-art workshop with cutting-edge technologies and machinery. The facility boasts three car ramps and two commercial van ramps, enabling the centre to offer a wide range of services, from tyre replacement and wheel alignment to brake checks, MOT testing, and full vehicle servicing.
The centre’s commitment to innovation and service quality is evident in its expansion to accommodate growing demand. To enhance customer convenience, HiQ Portslade now offers two courtesy cars with automatic transmission, allowing customers to stay on the road while their vehicles are serviced. This investment underscores the centre’s dedication to reducing service times and increasing customer satisfaction.
In addition to servicing individual vehicles, HiQ Portslade has leveraged its large workshop capacity to cater to commercial vans, supporting the fleets of fifteen local companies. This capability highlights the centre’s role in ensuring that both individual and business clients receive the highest quality service and maintenance for their vehicles, making it an integral part of the local community’s infrastructure.
From the outset, HiQ Portslade has been committed to serving the local community, a commitment that has been met with overwhelming support. Within just twelve months, the centre has garnered over 270 positive online reviews, earning it the second-highest ranking among more than 160 HiQ autocentres across the UK. This remarkable achievement reflects the centre’s focus on building brand loyalty through exceptional customer service.
“We’re incredibly proud that in just twelve months of operation, the Portslade community has recognised us as an honest and reliable destination for its automotive servicing needs,” said Steve Bourner, Centre Manager at HiQ Tyres & Autocare Portslade. “Our growth and success over the last year are a testament to the hard work of our team and the support of our valued customers. We’re exceptionally grateful for the warm reception that we have received so far and look forward to continuing to service Portslade’s tyre and vehicle servicing needs in the future.”
Beyond its commercial success, HiQ Portslade has demonstrated a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility. The centre has actively supported charitable initiatives, including donations to the national HiQ charity partner, Breast Cancer Now, and local causes such as the Fishersgate Flyers Youth Football Club. These contributions highlight the centre’s dedication to making a positive impact both on and off the road.
As HiQ Portslade moves forward, it remains focused on maintaining its high standards of service and deepening its relationship with the Portslade community. With a successful first year behind it, the centre is well-positioned to continue its growth and serve as a cornerstone of automotive care in the area.
