Leadership Team

Mark Carr, CEO

Mark founded Christian Brothers Automotive in 1982. He started with one store in Houston, Texas, and is still responsible for its growth and strategic direction 30 years later. He had a simple but powerful mission for his company – love your neighbor as yourself. 

For 30 years, this principle is at the heart of every store, every franchisee and every employee. Mark loves hearing from satisfied customers and enjoys giving back in our communities. The company has grown to nearly 100 locations and has maintained a 100 percent success rate and never closed a location. Mark believes we’re in this business to be a partner in auto care for customers. He believes that the success of the company and the success of franchisees will only come through a strong connection to faith, superior customer service and a spirit willing to strengthen the community.
