New HiQ Centre Targets LCVs and Local Fleets in Thatcham

HiQ Tyres & Autocare has officially opened a new franchise centre in Thatcham, Berkshire, offering a full range of automotive services to both private motorists and business customers.

The site provides tyre fitting, MOT testing, wheel alignment, and routine servicing. It is also equipped to handle light commercial vehicles (LCVs), with future plans to expand services for local fleet operators.

The new Thatcham centre is managed by Carl Evans, whose family has over four decades of experience in the automotive service industry. A team of five is currently employed at the site, which Evans sees as the first step in a broader expansion plan.

Designed with Driver Comfort in Mind

The facility includes customer-focused amenities such as Wi-Fi, a coffee machine, and a dedicated workstation — part of a wider effort to deliver a more comfortable and practical experience for those waiting on-site.

The centre operates under the HiQ Tyres & Autocare network, which provides independent operators with access to national brand visibility, supply partnerships, and digital support tools.
