## Story

Christian Brothers Automotive was founded more than 30 years ago with one simple idea in mind: provide customers with auto repair services they could trust. The brand quickly found a following that is hungry for honest, genuine service, and as a result, they have enjoyed impressive growth ever since. From one location in 1982 to 100 in 2012, Christian Brothers Automotive is gearing up to reach the 200-store milestone by 2017.

Holland, Mich. is the brand’s next stop on this journey, and Dave and Cindy Barry are taking the wheel in the region to help vehicle owners experience the Christian Brothers Automotive nice difference. They will be opening at 424 Bay Park Drive in December.

Over the last 30 years, local high school sweethearts, Dave and Cindy Barry, have dedicated their lives to the service industry. With careers in nursing and education, Dave and Cindy knew they had a niche to help others.

Dave had a lifelong desire to own his own business and began researching franchise opportunities and came across Christian Brothers Automotive. Due to its core values and ethics, Dave and Cindy felt a strong connection with Christian Brothers Automotive and knew becoming franchisees was a natural extension of their lifetime commitment to serving and helping others.

Mark Carr, president and CEO of Christian Brothers Automotive, expressed his excitement at welcoming Dave and Cindy Barry to the family.

“Our customers know what to expect when they walk into a Christian Brothers Automotive, including a clean and comfortable waiting area, a friendly and attentive staff that is willing to go above the call of duty and automotive technicians who understand our customers are the boss,” Carr said. “Christian Brothers Automotive has succeeded because we’ve transformed how people view the auto repair experience, and we know Dave and Cindy will carry on our commitment to superior service.”

The cornerstone of Christian Brothers Automotive is quite simple: Treat others as you wish to be treated. By following this straightforward guideline, the franchise has garnered glowing reviews from consumers who once dreaded visiting a repair shop.

Based on customer ratings of all Christian Brothers Automotive repair franchises, the vast majority of customers have expressed satisfaction with everything from ease of scheduling appointments and receiving friendly service to the cleanliness of the locations and quality of work performed. It’s why 98 percent of customers said they would return to a Christian Brothers Automotive facility in the future, and why 97 percent said they would recommend a facility to a friend.

“No matter who you are, you should expect to be treated fairly when you bring your vehicle into a shop,” Carr said. “It’s a simple thing, but an important thing, and we’re thrilled to be able to share our dedication to customer service and trustworthy repair work with the good people of Holland.”
