Christian Brothers Automotive Relies on Concrete Masonry for its "Cottages"

Houston-based auto repair franchise Christian Brothers Automotive relies on the beauty of durability of architectural concrete masonry across most of its nationwide footprint. The chain likes to describe its facilities as "essentially a small cottage with a nine car garage."

In 1996, the company began franchising the brand and has since grown to 155 locations in 22 states with a current growth plan of approximately 15-20 stores per year.
