Christian Brothers Automotive Announces Signed Agreement to Bring Seamless Car Repair to Mount Dora

Owned by local entrepreneur, Mike Maudlin, and his wife, Heather, the new shop marks the dawn of a new day for car care in Mount Dora. Armed with the refreshing guiding principle, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” Christian Brothers Automotive goes beyond just exemplary auto service; the brand takes a close interest in the health of its guests’ vehicles by approaching auto repair work with transparency, integrity and compassion.

“I wanted my next business venture to be with a brand that also fit with my faith-based, service-oriented leadership style. I wanted a business that would add value to the community and that people could trust,” said Mike Maudlin, who previously owned and operated an international commercial truck dealership with six locations throughout Central Florida. “Christian Brothers Automotive certainly checked all the boxes for what I was looking for, and I can’t wait to open our doors to the Mount Dora community.”

In addition to previous business ownership in the commercial trucking industry, the Maudlins have volunteered with several non-profits throughout the area, including the Camaraderie Foundation, Camp Boggy Creek and Lake Cares Food Pantry.

Joining existing shops throughout Central Florida in Alafaya, Clermont, Lakeland Heights and Oviedo, the new Mount Dora location at 18390 U.S. Highway 441 will be Christian Brothers Automotive’s 14th shop in the state of Florida.

“I am pleased to welcome this new shop to the brand and am confident that Mike’s prior business ownership experience will translate into an exceptionally well-run shop in Mount Dora,” said Donnie Carr, President and CEO of Christian Brothers Automotive. “He has all the qualities of what we look for in a Christian Brothers Automotive franchisee, and the sky is the limit for what he’ll be able to accomplish.”

Founded in Houston in 1982, Christian Brothers Automotive has successfully changed the way guests think about the auto service experience. From the clean, comfortable waiting room, to the hassle-free interaction with shop owners and managers, Christian Brothers Automotive provides guests with an informative and comforting auto care experience.

Christian Brothers Automotive offers a wide array of services, from simple upkeep and maintenance to preventative services addressing issues that would otherwise require more expensive repair and replacement down the road.
