New vans expand HiQ mobile fitting fleet

HiQ Tyres & Autocare is expanding its HiQ2U mobile fitting service with 12 new vehicles. These additions to the fleet will service the needs of Enterprise Mobility in several areas of the UK, primarily the South East, Luton, Milton Keynes, and the Midlands.

The new vans will join HiQ’s fleet over the coming months and each will be allocated to one of the 26 Goodyear-owned HiQ stores. For HiQ, this investment not only increases the capacity within the HiQ2U fleet but also introduces a “fresh new look and feel” as demand for the service continues to grow.

Enterprise Mobility is a global fleet and mobility solutions provider, specialising in car rental, fleet management, flexible vehicle hire, carsharing, vanpooling, and luxury rentals.

Equipped for on-site maintenance

The aim of HiQ2U is to deliver a fast and efficient service that minimises fleet vehicle downtime. Customers can receive tyre, brake, lubricant, and battery servicing at their own premises. Technicians operating from mobile service vehicles can also perform minor bodywork repairs.

The new Ford Transit 350 H3L3 vans are fully equipped to service vehicles remotely, enabling HiQ technicians to complete the vast majority of interval maintenance on-site.

Phenomenal turnaround speed

“We began the partnership with Enterprise Mobility at HiQ Wellingborough, when our approach to same-day service wasn’t something they had experienced before,” says Craig Sprigmore, Goodyear retail director UK & Ireland. “Since then, we have worked closely with the team, significantly improving the downtime of each rental vehicle.

“Enterprise’s business model means it’s most convenient to carry out maintenance on site, and we can dispatch a van whenever required within a few hours. Our expert technicians can also work on multiple vehicles at once. The dependability is extremely important – a car we are servicing today must be ready to rent tomorrow, so the strong relationship is always integral to the logistics of any fleet.”

“I am so happy with HiQ2U’s services,” states Toby Mannering, vehicle operations supervisor at Enterprise Mobility. “I look after a large fleet of vehicles, and they are excellent at keeping our vehicles on the road. We have several branches that use HiQ2U, and they only ever give great feedback. Everyone is willing to help, from the techs on the ground to the employees in the office.

“The turnaround speed is phenomenal, which helps keep the fleet on the road and keeps us going. Thank you to the whole HiQ2U team, which has been amazing over the years we have worked together.”
