GreatWater 360 Auto Care Welcomes Day Heights Auto Service with locations in Milford and Loveland, Ohio

Long-trusted neighborhood shop group joins GreatWater’s growing Ohio footprint
Grand Rapids, MI — December 29, 2025

GreatWater 360 Auto Care is pleased to announce the addition of Day Heights Auto Service, with locations in Milford and Loveland, Ohio to its growing network of trusted auto repair shops. Known for its consistency, customer-first approach, and long-standing local presence, Day Heights represents the kind of steady, service-driven operation that aligns with GreatWater’s values and long-term growth strategy.

Built on Trust, Run by People Who Care

DayHeights Auto Service has been serving drivers in the greater Cincinnati area with honesty, professionalism, and personal connection since the early 1980s. Known for both general repairs and deep community ties, each shop’s teams have built a loyal following that spans generations.

“As a second-generation owner, I felt a strong responsibility to protect what my family built nearly 45 years ago. I was very intentional about who I trusted with the next chapter.” said Jamie Kellerman, former owner of Day Heights Auto Service. “Throughout the process, there was a clear respect for the people who built and sustain the business, as well as for the customers and community it serves. The transition was handled with professionalism and transparency, and I’m confident the business is in the right hands moving forward.”

Continuity First, With Resources to Grow

Consistent with GreatWater’s acquisition model, the shop group will continue to operate as Day Heights Auto Service, with the same team that customers already trust. Now part of the GreatWater network, both shop teams gain access to expanded resources including technical training, operational tools, and enhanced teammate benefits.

“Day Heights is a model of community-rooted service. Our goal is to support their future without disrupting what’s made them successful,” said Jim Dykstra, CEO of GreatWater 360 Auto Care.

A Growing Network with a Local Heart

With nearly 150 locations across Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kentucky, Texas, and Missouri, GreatWater continues to scale through selective partnerships with independent shops that align on values—not just volume.

This two-location acquisition strengthens GreatWater’s presence in Ohio, joining other respected names like Herold Family Auto & Tire, Northgate Tire, Paradise Car Care, and Superlube Complete Car Care.
