HOUSTON – Christian Brothers Automotive is putting the pedal to the metal, breaking impressive systemwide revenue records.

Beyond the remarkable growth already achieved and the planned expansion, Christian Brothers Automotive elevated its brand presence nationwide in the first half of 2021 through creative marketing campaigns supporting franchisees, including a “Clunker Contest” celebrating those that cherish their trusty rusty and a “Keep on Rollin’ campaign,” which underscores the pure joy Americans experience while driving, specifically through music.
“As we talk to franchise candidates, what blows them away is how much of a family our franchise system has become,” said Missy Wright, Director of Franchise Development for Christian Brothers Automotive. “We look forward to growing our family with phenomenal franchisees who are leaders in their communities.”
