GreatWater 360 Auto Care Opens Ground-Up Location with Newest Belden’s Automotive & Tires in San Antonio

Grand Rapids, MI — July 10th, 2025— GreatWater360 Auto Care is proud to announce the opening of its newest ground-up development, a brand-new Belden’s Automotive & Tires location in San Antonio, Texas. This milestone marks a strategic expansion in the company’s presence across Texas and brings the total number of Belden’s locations to nine.

GreatWater’s growth traditionally involves investing in existing locations and teams, but this new facility highlights GreatWater’s ability to create successful growth through different paths with multiple ground-up locations opened in SanAntonio under the Belden’s name.

“This is a slightly different approach for us, but we are always open to building a site in the right market, under the right brand,” said Jim Dykstra, CEO at GreatWater 360 Auto Care. “While we typically invest in existing high-performing shops with teams and clientele in place, we also know how to launch a new facility with the same success. That confidence comes from the market opportunity, the team, and the reputation a brand like Belden’s has in their community.”

Continuing a Legacy of Trust in San Antonio

Belden’s Automotive & Tires has been a respected name in the San Antonio area for over 45 years, known for customer-centric service, technical expertise, and a team-first culture. The Potranco location will carry forward those values while offering customers a state-of-the-art facility, advanced diagnostics, and the same high-quality service delivered by certified technicians.

“The Potranco team may be in a brand-new building, but that team has long been a part of the Belden’s family—they’re people who care deeply about their work, their customers, and their community. The shop is set up for success.” added Mr. Dykstra.

GreatWater believes in the power of local shops—and welcomes conversations with owners who share that vision and are considering a transition or sale. Visit greatwater360autocare.com/acquisitionfor more information.
