GreatWater 360 Auto Care has announced the acquisition of the Springdale Automotive Centers repair group in Louisville, Kentucky, according to a press release.
The group consists of four locations and has been in business for over 25 years. Kurt Shelton is the founder and leads the business alongside his wife, Karen, and recently his daughter, Lauren Dennison.
“We’ve worked hard to build our business and reputation over the last quarter-century and are proud of the relationships we’ve created with our customers and the community,” Shelton stated. “When we decided to transition out of the business, we were deliberate in finding a partner that would do right by what we’ve established.”
With this acquisition brings GreatWater’s first locations in the state of Kentucky, making it the sixth state they operate in, as well as pushing the company to over 100 total locations in the Midwest.
“It’s never been about what state is next or a goal to enter a particular market. It’s about finding the shops that are doing it the right way and believe that we can continue to enhance that experience for their customers and team,” said GreatWater Chief Acquisition Officer Fitz Lassing.
