Christian Brothers Automotive

Mark Carr founded Chrisitan Brothers Automotive in 1982. Not sure what name would be appropriate, he asked his Sunday School kids what a good name might be. Christian Brothers founded their first automotive repair location in Houston, Texas.

Today, the company has more than 250 locations, with most of these being franchises. The company is best known for offering a 3-year or 36,000-mile repair warranty, which beats the typical 12-month, 12,000-mile warranty that most other repair stations provide.

Christian Brothers continues to expand, opening a third location in Gilbert, Arizona, in July 2023, and one in Jacksonville, Florida, in early 2024.

In May 2023, the company was named #1 in Customer Satisfaction for aftermarket repairs in a survey conducted by J.D. Power.
