Established & Profitable | 10% Down w/SBA Loan
You may have never imagined owning an auto repair business. The current owner left the corporate world with no automotive experience and discovered the satisfaction of owning a local business with a national franchise behind him.
For him, buying this Christian Brothers Automotive location meant leaving corporate life behind and stepping into something more personal: his own business, an established team, and relationships with customers in his community.
He describes it as having the feel of a mom and pop shop with the support and guidelines of an established franchise.
Now, you have the opportunity to acquire that highly profitable business, with experienced technicians, staff, and loyal customers already in place.
Priced at around 3x seller’s discretionary earnings. Lender prequalified for SBA financing, with as little as 10% down for qualified buyers. No automotive experience required.
An Established Business You Can Make Your Own
This opportunity combines the backing of Christian Brothers Automotive with the head start of acquiring a successful location that is already up and running.
The experienced team is in place. Customer relationships are established. The business has established revenue, strong earnings, and a proven operating history you can evaluate.
You can focus on learning and leading the business without first developing a new location, recruiting an initial staff, and building a customer base from scratch.
The workshop is fully air conditioned, including every service bay, providing a comfortable working environment for the technicians. The seller will provide 30 days of transition training, complementing the franchise’s training and ongoing support.
Located in the Southwestern United States, this business offers a compelling entry into established Christian Brothers Automotive ownership.
Leave Corporate Life Behind. Make Ownership Personal.
For the seller, the reward went beyond owning a profitable business. It was knowing his customers, working closely with his team, and seeing his efforts contribute directly to something he owned.
Within Christian Brothers Automotive’s established standards, he could bring his personality and leadership to the business while having experienced guidance and established systems behind him.
That combination matters when considering a move into ownership. You can enjoy the close relationships and personal pride of running a local business, supported by a national franchise organization.
Whether you want to leave corporate life, change careers, or finally work for yourself, this opportunity deserves a closer look.
You Do Not Need to Be a Mechanic
The seller entered the industry without auto repair experience, and he is far from alone. Approximately 85% of Christian Brothers Automotive franchisees entered the system without prior automotive industry experience.
You bring a willingness to learn, a commitment to treating people well, and the desire to take an active role in ownership. Christian Brothers Automotive provides comprehensive training and ongoing support in operations, financial management, team leadership, and marketing.
At this location, experienced technicians and staff are already here to perform the technical work and serve customers. Your focus is on learning the operation, supporting the existing team, strengthening customer relationships, and managing business performance.
A Franchise Opportunity You May Have Overlooked
Restaurants and retail often come to mind first when buyers explore franchises. Automotive service offers a different ownership experience worth considering.
Christian Brothers Automotive locations operate Monday through Friday and are closed on Saturdays and Sundays. There are no meal rushes to manage or perishable food inventories to spoil.
For buyers comparing businesses with evening and weekend operating demands, those are meaningful distinctions. The weekday service model, established systems, and franchise support can ease some of the pressures associated with other franchise models and provide regular time for family and personal interests.
Ownership takes work and responsibility. This model offers a compelling way to pursue business ownership while making room for life outside it.
An Essential Service in a Recession Resilient Industry
People depend on their vehicles to get to work, care for their families, and manage everyday life. Keeping those vehicles safe and dependable serves an enduring need.
America’s cars and light trucks are older than ever. High vehicle prices, financing costs, and pressure on household budgets give many drivers a reason to keep their vehicles longer. Maintaining a dependable vehicle can be more practical than taking on a new car payment.
That supports demand for maintenance and repairs and helps make automotive service a recession resilient industry, although no business is immune to economic conditions.
Modern vehicles also rely on increasingly sophisticated electronics, software, and sensors. Many repairs require trained technicians, specialized diagnostic equipment, and current technical information. The days of handling every repair in the driveway with basic tools are fading.
This is hands-on service performed locally, with opportunities to earn repeat business throughout a vehicle’s life. Customers who find a shop they trust have a reason to return, bring other household vehicles, and recommend it to friends.
A Recognized Brand Behind Your Business
Christian Brothers Automotive has spent more than 40 years building a brand centered on integrity, customer trust, and its signature “Nice Difference” approach.
Its emphasis on honesty, respect, and customer relationships gives owners a service philosophy they can take pride in. Combined with franchise training and ongoing support, it provides a valuable foundation for someone entering business ownership or a new industry.
Here, that foundation comes with an established, profitable location and an experienced team already in place.
