Before you can open your new Christian Brothers Automotive franchise, we need to make sure this is a good fit for you and us. From start to finish, our franchisee approval process takes 4-6 weeks. That’s why we’ve developed a Mutual Evaluation Process we call the Discovery Process to help us both learn more about each other and make an informed decision about your future before taking next steps.
The first step focuses on you. We want to know more about you and your goals for starting a business. What preparation for business ownership have you had up to this point? What does your ideal business look like?
This second step should help you learn more about us. We will talk about the Christian Brothers Automotive opportunity and discuss our 3 Core Systems that have helped make Christian Brothers Automotive 100% successful in our 21 years of franchising.
These systems include business and operations training programs, marketing and PR support, and financial/accounting support to help you reach your goals.
Next, you will receive a copy of the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD). This document contains all the necessary information about Christian Brothers Automotive so you can make a more informed decision. It is similar to an investment prospectus.
We want you to talk to our franchise owners. No one can give you better information than those already in the Christian Brothers Automotive family. Ask them about their experiences and get a clearer picture of the day-to-day operations of one of our stores.
If you have made it this far and you qualify, we will invite you to our headquarters in Houston, Texas. During your Discovery Day, you will interview with our executive team and meet with the departments you would work with as a franchisee if you are awarded a Christian Brothers location. While attending your In-store Evaluation Day you will spend a day with a local franchisee helping you to see the day-to-day operations of a local store while being evaluated in that setting as well.
Decision time. At this point in the process, you can express interest in being considered for a franchise by completing a License Consideration Form. If you choose to be considered for a Christian Brothers Automotive franchise, your application and qualifications will reach our executive team for their final decision.
Time to get started. If you receive approval, then congratulations are in order. It is time to start building your new business because you are one step closer to reaching your goals.

"How would you treat that customer if it was your mom, or your grandmother? You’d take care of them the right way. That’s really what we fall on, and we trust God for the results."Chip Fenner
"These are very knowledgeable guys who are really proud of their work, and when we bring a customer into the garage to explain a repair to them, and they get to see the customer who they are helping, it makes a difference. Plus, we really are a family ..."Amy & Mark Stehr
"Once a year, every fall, we do a single moms oil change day. We work with local churches to find people who need it. We don’t advertise it or broadcast it to the masses. It’s an awesome experience that our staff thoroughly enjoys."Brad & Kasey Fink
