Christian Brothers Automotive

It's , and we're taking a trip down memory lane to where it all began for CBA.

In 1981, Mark Carr was working as a graphic arts salesman for a photographic mural company. He had just moved to Houston from upstate New York and was finding success in his role, but he was restless. He felt like he was built to be doing something different.

One night, feeling particularly discontent, Mark prayed and asked God to provide him a business. The very next day, while Mark was attending a Sunday school function through Spring Branch Bible Church, a gentleman from his class walked up, said that he was an automotive technician, and asked Mark to help him start an automotive repair shop.

The two men didn’t know what to call their new venture. They were encouraged by their Sunday school class to call it Christian Brothers Automotive, as they were two brothers in Christ. So, in August 1982, Mark Carr and his partner opened a complete automotive repair facility in Mission Bend, Texas, a suburb of Houston, and founded Christian Brothers Automotive Corporation (CBAC).

It's ! Did you know – it's best to keep one of these out of print coins on hand for regular tire maintenance?

One of the easiest ways to tell if you need new tires is by the amount of tread left. When you place a penny upside down into the tread of your tires, you shouldn’t be able to see the top of Lincoln’s head. If you can, it’s likely time for replacements. 🛞

It's one of our favorite days of the year: !

Recently, the CBA team in Brownsburg came together to help a single mom in need of a helping hand.

When she arrived to have her vehicle's underbelly inspected, her technician found a large hole had completely rusted through her subframe. When the team shared these findings, she broke down in tears. Recently divorced and working at a nearby daycare center, she didn't know where to turn because money was tight and she relied on her vehicle to get to and from work.

The team jumped into action, replacing her subframe at no cost, along with her steering pump, hoses, brake rotors and pads. The team also completed a brake fluid flush and fresh oil change before aligning the vehicle to OEM standards and presenting it back to her.

Loving our neighbor means showing up for the members of our community, using our time, talent and treasure to support them as they've supported us.

"As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace" - 1 Peter 4:10

Being a is a core component of who we are. Earlier this Spring, the team in East Cobb, Georgia received this heartfelt thank you note from a guest, illustrating that putting people first goes a long way.

I wanted to thank Christian Brothers Automotive for having programs to help people as they help themselves. To be the beneficiary of such generosity in a significantly discounted major repair(s) is something that I will recall through life, especially as I drive this car around Florida. God’s blessing through your organization will serve as a reminder for me to be humble, generous, and loving just as you have shown to me. Thank you to Ryan Jackson owner and manager of CBA in Marietta for seeing the Lord in my story and blessing me tremendously.

In Christ with deep gratitude,

- Jesse H.

We recently partnered with Christian Brothers Automotive who was able to repair and donate a reliable vehicle for a Mom in one of our programs. Community partnerships like this one make all the difference in helping Family Promise to live out the mission to empower families experiencing housing insecurity to build a foundation of lasting independence. ❤️🚘

Christian Brothers Automotive-Andover is excited to partner with Family Promise In Anoka County, a local family shelter and homelessness prevention program, to help a family with a critical need – a safe, reliable vehicle. Recently, a mother of two working with Family Promise got a new full-time job. The work is fulfilling and gives her the income she needs to move her family into stable housing. However, in just her first two weeks of work, her car broke down, putting the job – and her chances at an apartment – at serious risk. At the same time, a CBA-Andover customer donated a vehicle that required a new engine. CBA-Andover was able to purchase and install an engine and make other safety-related repairs to the vehicle. We were blessed this past week to gift this family the car, which will keep them on their road to success.
