Not every day you get a Lotus Exige S in the workshop… and certainly not one looking this good. 💛

Lightweight, loud, low and completely unapologetic, exactly how a proper driver’s car should be.

Safe to say it brightened up the workshop today. Although with that rear wing, we’re not sure whether it came in for work or was just trying to take off. 🛫

Couldnt think of many better cars to be driving on a day like today!

Ferrari F430 Spider in Rosso Corsa is an absolute beaut. In today for an MOT, work definitely stopped for a moment of admiration, I've never seen so many techs near the MOT ramp!

From Ford to Ferrari we can look after your pride an joy.

We are pleased to have helped the Palatine Bowling Club reach their target to secure funding for the future.

Having spoken to Janine I couldn’t resist and had to help, the plans for the site are great and the local community will benefit massively! If you fancy a go at crown Green bowling, get in touch with them. There’s social memberships available which allow you to have a go.

Let's bring Palatine Bowling Green back for our community!

🚨 WORKSHOP SUPERVISOR ALERT 🚨

Reggie the Springer dropped in this morning to check standards… and frankly, we were nervous.

Immediate observations from management:
• Tail wag – strong performance
• Eye contact – intense
• Biscuit expectations – unrealistic
• Winking at staff – highly distracting

He inspected the tyres.
He judged the lads.
He posed by the HiQ sign like he owns the place.

We tried to invoice him but apparently payment was made in “good boy energy” and muddy paw prints.

10/10 customer.
Would let him run the branch.

Reggie, you absolute icon. 🐶

Christmas Opening Times Reminder
❄️🎅🎄❄️🎅🎄❄️🎅🎄❄️🎅🎄
Just a little festive heads-up to say we’re closed over Christmas

Not because we don’t love our customers (we really do)…
But because our team has absolutely smashed it all year and deserves a few days of:
eating too much
doing very little
pretending alarm clocks don’t exist

We’ll be back open on the dates shown, refreshed, recharged, and ready to tackle whatever January throws at us.

Thanks for all the support this year, from all of us at HiQ, have a brilliant Christmas

🧼🚐 Hank’s Spa Day! 🚐🧼

After a flat-out November keeping everyone on the road, our mobile tyre van Hank finally got the pampering he deserves!

He’s been grafting hard all month. Callouts, fleet work, winter swaps, so tonight he treated himself to a full-on spa day.
Snow foam, warm bath, the lot.
If vans could sigh with relief… he’d be doing it. 😌

All fresh, clean and ready to smash December! 💪🔧
If you spot him out and about looking extra shiny, give him a wave! 👋

❄️ Winter vs All-Season Tyres – Which is Right for You? 🚗💨

When the temperatures drop, so does your tyre performance if you’re still on summer rubber! Choosing the right set for the season can make all the difference in safety, handling and running costs.

👉 Winter Tyres:
✅ Designed for cold, icy and snowy conditions.
✅ Offer incredible grip below 7°C.
⚠️ Can wear faster and feel less precise in warmer weather.
💡 Ideal if you live or drive in more rural or hilly areas that see regular frost and snow.

👉 All-Season Tyres:
✅ Great balance of performance year-round – no seasonal swaps.
✅ Excellent for UK weather (where winter often means more rain than snow!).
✅ Save time and storage hassle.
⚠️ Slightly less extreme grip than full winters in deep snow – but far better than summers when it’s cold.

Here at HiQ Tyres & Autocare (Lancaster & Halton) we supply Summer, Winter and All-Season Tyres from leading brands like Goodyear, Michelin, Davanti and many more, all expertly fitted and balanced by our team.

💡 Prefer dedicated winter tyres? We’ll even store your summer set in our Tyre Hotel for a small seasonal fee, no heavy lifting, no clutter, no hassle.

📞 Call us or drop in today for a no-obligation quote and expert advice on what suits your driving best. Out of working hours? Check our website, www.hiqonline.co.uk/hiq-centres/lancaster
