Braking for a Cause: $25,000 raised to support research
During October 2025, every brake job helped drive hope. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a portion of every brake sale was donated to Brakes for Breasts - a nationwide movement uniting auto shops to fund critical breast cancer research. Thanks to your support, we’re proud to share that we donated $25,000 to help advance a preventive breast cancer vaccine.
"Brakes for Breasts exists solely because of the incredibly generous support of organizations like GreatWater 360 Auto Care. Their ability to pool resources across multiple shops has made a tremendous impact on our mission to support a preventive breast cancer vaccine currently in bedside trials. We're deeply grateful for their partnership in putting the brakes on breast cancer."
