A native Houstonian, Donnie Carr first began his career at Christian Brothers Automotive over fifteen years ago, working as a Service Writer. This experience gave him the necessary first-hand experience of serving customers with compassion and excellence. Donnie then joined the small but mighty Christian Brothers Automotive Home Office team. With only 12 members, he was able to engage with all pillars of the business from within the operations department–learning development, finance, marketing, and more. In this role, his primary responsibility was assisting with new store openings and providing support to existing locations.

In 2013, Donnie’s hard work and stand-out development results earned him the position of Director of Store Performance. In this position, Donnie oversaw new store growth of 75% by adding 83 stores. Additionally, under Donnie’s leadership, the average unit sales volume also increased by 35%. Most impressive, Christian Brothers Automotive total royalties increased by over 320% during this same time period. As director, he also created a coaching, training, and support team for franchisees that Christian Brothers Automotive still relies on today. Since this program’s development, the coaching team has grown to 8 coaches who champion our franchisees on a daily basis.

In 2016, Donnie’s proven success as Director of Performance led to his promotion to Vice President of Operations. In this position, he was responsible for driving both top- and bottom-line revenue streams for all Christian Brothers Automotive stores. Since 2018, Donnie has served Christian Brothers Automotive as President, leading the company to three consecutive $2 million dollar months for the first time in company history in 2019. Donnie lives in Katy, Texas, with his wife Beth and their two children.
