Christian Brothers Automotive, a leading automotive maintenance and repair franchise, was recently named a top franchise by Franchise Business Review (FBR) in its report on the Top Recession-Proof Franchises for 2022.
The aftermarket car care brand ranked second on the list and first in the “Automotive” category out of the more than 300 franchise brands that participated in FBR’s franchisee satisfaction survey.
“Our company prides itself on delivering a best-in-class experience for franchise owners through award-winning training and support. In addition, our franchisees witness the positive impact our services have on the people and communities we serve,” said Brad Fink, vice president of leadership and franchise development at Christian Brothers Automotive. “It’s incredibly important to the entire Home Office team that we continue to innovate based on feedback from our system, and we’re humbled to see our efforts reflected in this ranking.”
FBR provides the only rankings of franchises based solely on actual franchisee satisfaction and performance. The company publishes its rankings of top franchises in its annual Guide to Today’s Top Franchises, as well as in quarterly reports throughout the year that rank the top franchises in specific sectors.
Christian Brothers Automotive franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction regarding critical areas of their franchise systems, including training & support, operations, franchisor/franchisee relations, financial opportunity and more.
“While no business is 100% recession-proof, these franchise businesses have demonstrated that they are highly recession-resistant based on historical performance,” said Eric Stites, CEO of Franchise Business Review. “For people seeking to be their own boss, the Top 100 Recession-Proof businesses we identified this year not only have outstanding satisfaction among their owners—one of the most important factors to consider before investing in any franchise opportunity—but they have performed well in good times and bad and we feel they hold a strong advantage to outperform their competitors in the years ahead.”
Ideal Christian Brothers franchisees are highly-driven individuals who will embrace the support and resources of a franchise system that focuses on not only what’s underneath the hood, but who’s behind the wheel. Prospects also should have extensive team leadership experience at a management level and sales experience, with a record of continued career advancement and upward mobility. The estimated initial investment for a Christian Brothers Automotive franchise ranges from $521,000 to $640,000, with 82-83% of the investment typically financed over a 10-year period using Small Business Administration (SBA) loans.
