Carsa, the used car dealership group founded by former Imperial Car Supermarkets executives, has signed up with car service and MOT franchise HiQ.
Carsa sought to create a new business model that integrates car sales, vehicle maintenance, tyre fitting, and MOT testing under one roof, and it has already opened HiQ branded workshops at Halesowen and Cannock in the West Midlands, with plans for a broader national expansion.
It said this partnership represents a key growth milestone for both companies, allowing them to leverage each other’s strengths – HiQ benefits from access to prime retail locations, boosting its market reach, while Carsa gains the credibility of a trusted autocare brand with nationwide marketing reach that can attract a wider customer base.
Carsa, launched in 2020, has already expanded to eight locations – recently occupying former Inchcape Bravoauto showrooms – and offers a wide selection of vehicles.
HiQ has a network of more than 160 car service and MOT workshops across the UK and is backed by Goodyear.
