Christian Brothers Automotive Is A Hit Among Families, Franchisees

Fort Worth Star Telegram:

After 30 years as an information technology manager at Corning, Alan Crawford knew just what he wanted to do next when the company offered an early-retirement package two years ago.

Go into the auto repair business.

When he retired, Crawford was already working to secure a franchise from Christian Brothers Automotive Corp. In early October, Crawford opened the company’s ninth Tarrant County repair shop at 7333 Oakmont Blvd. in southwest Fort Worth.

The privately owned, Houston-based company now has 25 shops in Dallas-Fort Worth, with seven more scheduled to open in the next 18 months. Locations in Lake Worth and Granbury will open by early next year.
