GreatWater Garages roots go back to 1984, when Rich Dykstra founded his first auto repair shop in Hudsonville, MI. In 2006, when Rich was ready to hang up his wrench, he was fortunate to be able to keep the business in the family by passing it on to his son, Jim. Not everybody has that option. But thanks to GreatWater, you’ve got the opportunity to do the next best thing: Leave your business in the hands of a group of folks who will treat you, your team and your customers like family. And families do right by each other.
