A third-generation mechanic and secondgeneration<br />

franchise owner, Andrew Slemp<br />

personifies what it means to own a Christian<br />

Brothers Automotive franchise. “Not only do they<br />

provide excellent support and coaching, but also<br />

a solid family and faith-based environment.”<br />

In conjunction with his local church, Andrew<br />

initiated a nonprofit organization called<br />

Mechanics on a Mission—a program that<br />

matches those in need with critically needed<br />

auto repairs—all at no charge. They also host a<br />

series of classes in partnership with the Youth in<br />

Christ organization to provide basic car care and<br />

maintenance classes for teen mothers.<br />

Andrew and his team also find vehicles that<br />

can be fixed up and donated. In 2022, they<br />

donated five cars. This year, they’re on track to<br />

donate seven more. “Ten years ago, we donated a<br />

car to a young lady getting out of a bad situation.<br />

A few months ago, she came back in and donated<br />

a car for us to give to someone else. Another time<br />

we gifted a car to a single mother whose own<br />

car was in rough shape. She gave us her car to<br />

salvage, and we were able to fix it up and give it<br />

to a man who was just getting out of prison (after<br />

40 years). He had begun mentoring troubled<br />

youth but had no way to get to the meetings<br />

for his organization. Today, he continues to lead<br />

youth in the Nashville community.”<br />

“The most rewarding aspect of owning my<br />

business is being able to help our youth prepare<br />

to lead the future as they find their own paths<br />

in life.”<br />
