Christian Brothers Automotive shared the accomplishments the brand had in 2024, as well as its plans for 2025, in a recent press release.

Growth

Last year, the brand expanded into 27 new markets, including Charleston, South Carolina; Huntsville, Alabama; Scottsdale, Arizona; Clemson, South Carolina, and more. In addition to bringing on new franchisees, the company also saw expanded territory for existing owners.

Plans for further growth in 2025 are already in motion, with site selection for development in the greater Las Vegas area set to begin this year.

Recognition

This success led to FRANdata ranking Christian Brothers Automotive as the #1 franchise to own in its “Best Franchises to Buy” study last year. The list evaluates brands based on their system sustainability, franchisor support, demand, investment value, and operational stability.

Christian Brothers Automotive was also recognized by J.D. Power, winning its fifth consecutive award for customer satisfaction.

Milestones

Just before the year ended, the company managed to accomplish $25 million dollars in donations to non-profit partners and community members: a goal it had set in 2020 and achieved a full year ahead of schedule.

“We are incredibly proud of the milestones we summited in 2024,” said President and CEO Donnie Carr. “Our commitment to providing exceptional service, fostering strong relationships with our frontlines, and embracing innovation has driven our success. As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited about the opportunities to further expand our footprint and solidify our position as a leading automotive repair franchise.”
