GreatWater 360 Auto Care Adds Its Third Ohio Location in 2025 —Paradise Car Care in Ravenna, Ohio

Grand Rapids, MI — August 21, 2025 — GreatWater 360 Auto Care, a growing network of trusted, community-focused auto repair shops across the Midwest, is proud to announce its acquisition of Paradise Car Care in Ravenna, Ohio. This marks GreatWater’s sixth location in Ohio, and third acquisition in the state so far in 2025.

For over two decades, Paradise Car Care has been a cornerstone of the Ravenna community—offering everything from diagnostics and maintenance to engine work and tire service. Known for its honest approach and loyal customer following, the shop has become a go-to destination for comprehensive automotive care and tires in the region.

“Paradise Car Care is exactly the kind of shop we’re proud to stand behind,” said Jim Dykstra, CEO at GreatWater 360Auto Care. “They’ve built trust through excellent work and genuine community connection, doing the little extra things that connect with customers. Our role is to support and grow that legacy.”

Providing Support and Resources

Former owner Mike Paradise will continue his role as the leader within the shop, allowing his focus to shift from owner duties to more of what he loves, engaging with customers and leading his team. Like most GreatWater acquisitions, Paradise Car Care will retain its name, its team, and its customer-first philosophy—now with access to GreatWater’s extensive network of resources. These include advanced diagnostic tools, technician training programs, improved benefit offerings for teammates, and operational support to streamline the customer experience.

"This was my baby and tough decisions don't come easy for me, but Greatwater really helped me create a path for this shop to grow.” notes former owner and current shop leader, Mike Paradise. “I had a vision for what success could look like through this transition and it’s exciting to see that vision come true. GreatWater has provided the business and personal support we’ve needed to take this shop to the next level. They have delivered on what they promised.”

Paradise Car Care joins Superlube Complete Car Care in Avon, OH and Northgate Tire in Cincinnati, OH as 2025 Ohio-based shop acquisitions for GreatWater.
