Meet the owners

Owned & Operated By Brentley and Brandi Laughter

Welcome to Christian Brothers Automotive – Indian Trail. We are the franchise operators, Brentley and Brandi Laughter.

About The Laughter Family

Brandi and I have been married 20 years and have forged a life together where we enjoy our three very active sons; Brent, Jack and Will. When we’re not on a ball field, we love to spend time together kayaking or having family movie night.

How We Came to Christian Brothers Automotive

In September of 2019, we became friends with the owners at our local Chrisitan Brothers Automotive location. Over the last 2 years, our friendship developed into family. On April 6, 2021, we went to a follow-up appointment for Brandi’s mammogram. We heard the dreadful words “you have invasive lobular carcinoma – the second most common breast cancer in women”. Not anticipating the “C” word, we had planned lunch with our local CBA family. The four of us sat silent for about 10 minutes as we all cried together.

I had a very demanding career which required me to be available 24/7. When Brandi was diagnosed with breast cancer, one of my main concerns was whether I could be “present” enough to do more at home.  While we prayed for God’s will during Brandi’s treatment, I also prayed God would provide the way for me to be more present. In August of 2021, I received a call from our local Chrisitan Brothers Automotive family and was asked if we were interested in joining the franchise. I left behind my 18-year career in manufacturing operations management to join Chrisitan Brothers Automotive.

We are very blessed to be able to do this as a family and look forward to serving the Indian Trail community. 

We are proud to support the following organizations, along with many others:
