Christian Brothers Automotive has outlined plans for a $12 million technology and training
center in Katy, Texas, as well as a system-wide effort to install air-conditioning in every service bay by mid-2027, per a recent press release.
The company will soon break ground on its nearly 14,000-square-foot facility, set to open in early 2027 at 25801 Nelson Way. It will serve as a national hub for hands-on training in both technical skills and customer service, equipped with the latest in vehicle lifts, diagnostic equipment, and ADAS tools.
CBA will also be relocating its corporate support center from Houston's Energy Corridor to the new facility, creating a unified headquarters capable of supporting up to 500 employees.
Additionally, CBA said it will be expanding its shop enhancement initiative through air conditioned service bays. More than 100 shops have now been retrofitted to feature air-conditioned service bays, and all new shops south of I-70 are now built with A/C included. The brand is also supporting franchisees who opt to retrofit existing shops.
“As we look toward the future of our brand, this new campus and our facility upgrades reinforce our belief that growth and purpose go hand in hand,” said Donnie Carr, president and CEO of Christian Brothers Automotive. “It's about so much more than building infrastructure. We're creating an environment where our team members, franchisees, and guests all benefit from a stronger, more united brand experience.”
