## Story

In just a few short weeks, Chattanooga will get its first Christian Brothers Automotive when local residents Mark and Stephanie McClain open their shop in nearby Hixson.

This isn't the McClain's first foray into business ownership. Mark first moved to Chattanooga to help start a fabrication business. The couple is excited to jump back into entrepreneurship with a concept that matches their values.

“We wanted to own our own business, but we also wanted the opportunity to give back,” said Mr. McClain. “Christian Brothers focus on giving back as well as the quality service they provide makes it a perfect fit not only for me, but also for the community. We’re excited to make a difference and look forward to building relationships with local organizations as well as customers.”

Christian Brothers Automotive is a growing auto repair shop franchise that focuses on providing service with honesty, value and integrity.
