When searching for the right franchise concept to invest in, we understand that you need to analyze multiple aspects of the system to determine if it aligns with your personal and professional goals. Christian Brothers Automotive prides itself on over 40 years of our people-first approach to car care, garnering one of the best reputations in the auto service industry. Does the CBA franchise have the characteristics you’re looking for in an automotive franchise? Continue reading to learn if we check all your boxes…
No Automotive Experience Necessary
85% of CBA franchisees had no prior automotive experience when they opened their location. If our core values align and you bring other life experience and skills along with you, CBA will provide the training necessary to make you an auto repair franchise expert. With no prior automotive experience, owner Jonita White joined the CBA franchise system in 2011 with the opening of her Frisco, Texas shop. As a self-described people person, Jonita knew she had the interpersonal skills necessary to make her business thrive. Today she serves as a mentor for other businesswomen, including many in our franchise system.
Robust Training & Support
With over 150 team members at our Home Office, our shop owners always have the support they need. We offer support in areas of recruitment, operational coaching, marketing and accounting for the entirety of the franchise agreement. During the onboarding process, our Certified Field Trainers (CFT) provide great shadowing opportunities for new owners. CFTs are experienced and savvy existing franchisees that are able to offer advice on back-office procedures, leadership protocol and more.
Recession-Resistant Industry
Our business operates in an industry that can thrive in times of both prosperity and recession. With the rise of older cars on the road and increased complexities presenting in vehicles, billions of dollars are spent each year in our needs-based industry. Car owners constantly need maintenance and repairs to keep their vehicles operating safely, and CBA has the technology and expertise to keep our guests’ cars running smoothly.
High Franchisee & Guest Satisfaction
Our standard-setting approach to automotive care resonates with guests and owners alike, earning us coveted placement on some of the industry’s most competitive rankings. Recently we ranked on the Entrepreneur Franchise 500® list for the tenth consecutive year. We were also ranked #3 overall and #1 in the automotive category in Franchise Business Review’s “Franchisee Satisfaction Awards.” Additionally, Christian Brothers Automotive was ranked Highest in Customer Satisfaction for Aftermarket Full Service Maintenance and Repair Three Times in a Row by J.D. Power.*
A Faith-Based Brand
All our actions are informed by the patience, compassion and generosity that our faith provides. We care for all individuals, regardless of religious affiliation, and focus on leaving people better than we found them. Many of our owners find peace and comfort in working with like-minded individuals who share the same core values of respect, transparency and integrity. Soon-to-be CBA franchise owner of the Columbus, Ohio shop, Christopher Kerr, knew he wanted to work with a company that strives to make a positive impact.
“Finding a company like Christian Brothers Automotive that holds a commitment to service and also aligns with my personal beliefs was an obvious choice for me,” said Kerr.
