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. 🛞

Coolant does a LOT more than people realize.

It doesn't just "keep your engine cool". It also prevents overheating, protect against freezing, and reduce corrosion inside the cooling system.

Over time, coolant breaks down and loses its ability to properly protect your engine. Performing a coolant fluid exchange will help keep the vehicle running at proper temperature and protect vital cooling components from long-term damage.

Because replacing coolant is a whole lot cheaper than replacing an overheated engine.

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

Your vehicle called...it's having a hard time breathing. 😅

That engine air filter keeps dirt out of your engine (big deal).

That cabin air filter keeps dust, pollen, and who-knows-what out of YOUR lungs (also a big deal).

Dirty filters = less airflow, worse performance, and air you probably don't want to breathe.

Simple fix. Big difference. ✔️

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.
