GreatWater360 acquires three shops in St. Louis area

GreatWater 360 Auto Care has entered the Missouri market with the acquisition of the three-location mechanical repair division of Complete Auto Body & Repair, which provides both fleet and consumer vehicle service across the St. Louis region.

This strategic acquisition brings GreatWater’s total number of locations closer to 150 and marks a significant expansion of its fleet and Midwest footprint. The agreement covers only the mechanical repair side of the business—the collision repair and towing operations remain under independent ownership.

Terms of the deal were not made public.

Complete Auto’s mechanical repair division has built a reputation for excellence across both business fleets and consumer vehicle care, providing everything from advanced diagnostics and heavy-duty fleet maintenance to routine repairs for families and everyday drivers, according to a statement from GreatWater 360.

“Our goal has always been to do honest work, deliver quality repairs, and take care of our people,” said Kurt Barks, former owner of Complete Auto Body & Repair. “As we looked to the future, GreatWater stood out for their professionalism, scale, and shared commitment to our values.”

All three Complete Auto repair locations will retain their name, team, and local leadership. Under GreatWater, the shops will gain access to enhanced resources—including technician training, operational support, and improved teammate benefits—while preserving the identity and service culture customers already trust.

“We’re not just acquiring a brand, we’re continuing a legacy,” said Jim Dykstra, CEO of GreatWater 360 Auto Care. “Kurt and his team have built something strong, and we’re honored to support its next chapter.”

GreatWater’s entrance into Missouri extends its reach to nine states, joining a network that spans Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa, Wisconsin, Texas, and now Missouri.

GreatWater 360 is headquartered in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
