HiQ expands mobile fitting business with fleet of twelve new vans

The new vans will join HiQ’s fleet over the next few months, each assigned to one of 26 Goodyear-owned HiQ stores. This investment represents greater capacity within the HiQ2U fleet, as well as sporting a fresh new look and feel as demand continues to grow for the service.

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

HiQ2U delivers a fast and efficient service that minimises downtime of fleet vehicles. Work on tyres, brakes, lubricants, and batteries can all be carried out at the customer’s premises. Minor bodywork repairs can also be fixed with a mobile repair.

The new vans, Ford Transit 350 H3L3 models, are each equipped with everything required to service vehicles remotely. The vast majority of interval maintenance can be completed, while HiQ technicians can advise if any further maintenance needs to take place.

The vans will be in operation across the South East, Luton, Milton Keynes and the Midlands.

“We began the partnership with Enterprise Mobility at HiQ Wellingborough, when our approach to same-day service wasn’t something they had experienced before,” explains Craig Sprigmore, Goodyear Retail Director UK & Ireland. From there, we worked more 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,” explains 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 turn around 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.”
