April 2, 2021—GB Auto Service has acquired California-based Goodguys Tires & Auto Repair, according to a press release. 

“For 45 years, Goodguys has built an exceptional name for itself as a trusted source for auto service, tire repair and replacement,” GB Auto Service CEO Frank Kneller said in a statement. “We’re honored to have them join our growing family of brands and look forward to helping them continue to flourish throughout the Fresno region.” 

The addition of Goodguys Tires & Auto Repair marks the latest expansion of the GB Auto brand. It follows the December acquisition of three Houston-area ServiceONE Automotive stores. In the preceding months, GB Auto had acquired Texas-based Reliable Automotive, Tate Boys Tire & Service of Oklahoma and Phoenix-based Sun Devil Auto and Sun Auto Service in August. The acquisition also broadens the footprint of the company in California, where it owns Ramona Tire & Service Centers, which serve the Inland Empire.
