Opened in May, the new HiQ centre on Launton Road has quickly become a local favourite, garnering positive feedback and strong growth. The centre boasts comprehensive services designed to keep vehicles running smoothly and safely, further enhancing HiQ’s reputation for quality and reliability.

The Bicester location is owned by business partners Phil Godfrey and Sam Buckley, who have plans to open additional centres in the future. Phil Godfrey, a seasoned professional in the industry, rejoined HiQ in 2023 after a brief sabbatical. His return marks a renewed commitment to delivering top-notch service under the trusted HiQ banner.

Phil Godfrey, Director of HiQ Bicester, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture: “We really value having HiQ above the door. It strengthens the perception of what we do and gives customers peace of mind when they choose us. The experience, honest service, and convenience of HiQ’s seamless online booking platform keeps drivers coming back time after time."

Godfrey highlighted the significant role of HiQ's online presence in driving growth. “As a franchisee, we see the most potential for growth through our online presence. That’s what currently gives HiQ the edge as it makes the process seamless from start to finish,” he added.

Craig Sprigmore, Goodyear Retail Director UK & Ireland, commended the new centre: “It’s always a pleasure to work with Phil and his team, and I’m delighted to see how immaculate the new centre looks. It sets a new standard for us, and has already welcomed many happy customers. As we continue to focus on growth, it’s never been a better time to be part of the HiQ network.”

With the support of Goodyear, HiQ operates a nationwide network of autocare centres, serving as Goodyear's retail arm in the UK. The new Bicester centre exemplifies HiQ's commitment to excellence and customer satisfaction, promising continued success and expansion in the future.
