# Houston Chronicle: Christian Brothers Automotive Continues Hometown Expansion

## Story

Brian and Stacie Bufkin are opening a Christian Brothers Automotive location next Tuesday, December 27, 2016 in Fulshear, Texas. The Bufkin's have been getting their cars repaired at a local Christian Brothers Automotive shop for several years and are very familiar with the brand.

As the pair were planning to leave Texas for another venture, an opportunity arose to join the auto company and they decided to take the plunge and invest in the brand. Brian is currently a Sergeant at the Houston Police Department, but will be retiring soon to help run the auto shop with Stacie.

"I was ready for a little bit of change and I was ready for a challenge," Brian Bufkin, 49, told the Houston Chronicle. "Fulshear's growing so fast, I just want to provide them with a good service."
