Becoming a franchisee for any company is a big decision. At Christian Brothers Automotive, we're happy to field any and all questions that come from prospective franchisees who are interested in joining our family. Below, take a look at our answers to some of the most common questions we receive.
At Christian Brothers Automotive, we're proud to offer a remarkably low required investment on the part of our franchise partners. We tend to look for franchise partners who have a net worth of at least $250,000 and then who can make an initial investment of at least $85,000. Our team can even help you determine your net worth, if necessary.
We can confidently estimate that for opening a brand new facility, our total startup costs fall somewhere between $465,298 and $552,849. We recommend that franchisees, if possible, consider a 10-year Small Business Administration (SBA) loan. This kind of loan can cover about 82-83% of these costs.
For the last 34 years, Christian Brothers Automotive has endeavored to change what customers expect from their auto repair service. Using Christian principles as our guide, we've developed an approach to customer service we now call our "Nice Difference®."
The Nice Difference® includes:
Christian Brothers Automotive franchises open at 7 a.m. and close up shop at 6 p.m. Monday through Friday. We know that much of the public is used to having their car serviced on Saturday, but with our free shuttle service, we've been successful in showing our customers that they do not have to waste time on the weekend having their car serviced.
