    TUCSON, Ariz. — GB Auto Service Inc. has made its fourth acquisition in the last three months, acquiring all three locations of Texas-based Reliable Automotive.

    Reliable Automotive was established in 2012, and has locations in San Marcos, Budo and Kyle, Texas. According to GB Auto, all employees will be retained.

    GB Auto already has 26 other locations in the Austin, Texas market.

    Early last month, GB Auto acquired Tate Boys Tire & Service, a Bartlesville, Okla.-based dealership with seven locations in northeast Oklahoma.

    In August, GB Auto purchased Phoenix-based Sun Devil Auto and Sun Auto Service and Louetta Automotive & Tire Service, broadening the footprint of the company,

    The deal boosts the Tucson, Ariz.-based portfolio company of Greenbriar Equity Group L.P.'s retail network to 177 locations in five states.

    "Reliable Automotive has established an outstanding reputation for exceptional vehicle servicing coupled with an uncompromised customer experience," GB Auto Service CEO Frank Kneller said. "This brand is an ideal strategic fit for us and helps extend our presence in the broader Austin area."

    Brad Hullum, founder of Reliable Automotive, said joining GB Auto "provides us with an opportunity to become part of an organization with an extraordinary industry reputation. Under GB Auto's leadership, the Reliable Automotive brand will continue to provide the same level of service our customers have come to expect and be poised for limitless growth."

    GB Auto owns locations in California, Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Oklahoma.
