GreatWater 360 Auto Care Adds Pampered Auto Care in Austin, Texas

Partnership Focused on Preserving a Legacy While Supporting the Next Chapter

Grand Rapids, MI — June 15, 2026 — For many independent shop owners, the hardest part of selling a business is not determining its value. It's deciding what happens next to the team, customers, and reputation they've spent years building.

That question was front and center when the ownership team at Pampered Auto Care began considering the future of the Austin-based repair shop.

Today, GreatWater 360 Auto Care ("GreatWater") announced the acquisition of Pampered Auto Care, a respected automotive service provider known for its technical expertise, customer-focused culture, and long-standing relationships throughout the greater Austin community.

Pampered Auto Care has built its reputation by delivering high-quality service while creating a customer experience centered on trust, transparency, and convenience. The shop will continue operating under its established name with its existing team in place, ensuring continuity for customers while gaining access to additional resources and support through the GreatWater platform.

"What stood out most about working with GreatWater was the people. The numbers and details mattered, but what gave me confidence was getting to know the team and feeling like I had a true partner. More than anything, I knew I was leaving my business in the hands of people I could trust." Edin Huskic, Former Owner, Pampered Auto Care.

While every shop owner approaches succession differently, GreatWater has built its acquisition model around a common reality: owners care deeply about the people and communities connected to their businesses.

"We've learned that most owners aren't looking for the highest bidder. They're looking for the right steward," said Scott Anderson, President & Chief Operating Officer of GreatWater 360 Auto Care. "The conversations almost always come back to the same things: their employees, their customers, and the legacy they've built over many years. Our responsibility is to honor that while providing the resources and support that help the business continue to grow."

Unlike many consolidators, GreatWater's approach centers on preserving what makes each shop successful. Every location retains its local identity, customer relationships, and culture while gaining access to the company's centralized operating platform.

Through that platform, Pampered Auto Care will benefit from expanded technician development programs, marketing capabilities, technology tools, and operational expertise that can be difficult for independent operators to build on their own.

The addition of Pampered Auto Care reflects GreatWater's belief that the future of the independent automotive aftermarket is built not by replacing local shops, but by helping them thrive through a combination of local leadership and shared resources.
