First Time Franchisee Finds Success as Business Owner and Entrepreneur with Christian Brothers Automotive

Amy Stehr, a Christian Brothers Automotive franchisee in Rockwall, Texas, is proving that women can innovate in the automotive industry.

Stehr first learned about Christian Brothers Automotive's franchising opportunity through her husband. They were initially looking into running the business together, but when her husband was unable to leave his current day job, she decided to launch the business on her own.

• She decided to invest in Christian Brothers Automotive because of its exceptional customer service and the opportunity to be a business owner.
• She fell in love with the idea of being a woman running an automotive business, which provides her with a unique opportunity to change people's perceptions of women leaders in this industry.

Five years after opening its doors for business, the Stehr's Rockwall location is thriving. With plans to potentially open up another unit nearby, the Stehr's consistent success with Christian Brothers Automotive is inspiring them to grow alongside the brand.

The brand's business model is designed to set its local owners up for success. Its comprehensive and ongoing training program, along with its network of passionate local owners, provides an unrivaled support system for franchisees.

• The brand's support system is made up of more than 160 units that are currently open for business.
• The brand is planning to add another 15 to 20 locations to its system.

Christian Brothers Automotive's unique business model is due to the people behind it. Everyone involved with the brand truly wants to make a difference and is bonded by the brand's roots in the Christian faith.

• The brand's corporate team members and local owners make up a supportive family.
• This family is made up of more than 160 units that are currently open for business.

Every part of Christian Brothers Automotive's franchise opportunity is designed to help our owners succeed, and we're excited to see that tradition continue in the months and years to come."
