GreatWater 360 Auto Care has acquired Andy’s Tire & Auto Service in Alton, Illinois, expanding its footprint to 153 locations throughout the Midwest and Texas, and 47 locations in Illinois.

Founded in 1974, Andy’s Tire & Auto Service has built a long-standing reputation in the Alton community for full-service automotive repair, tire expertise, and customer-focused service. The shop will continue operating under its existing name with its current team in place.
